"Obstacles are those frightful things you see
when you take your eyes off your goal."
–Henry Ford
Wow, it’s 2020!
Happy LEAP Year, Renée!
It's going to be a magical year and so much more so because we get an extra day to create the magic! Are you excited about the year ahead? If so, you probably made some New Year’s Resolutions for your personal life and/or your business or career. If so, how is it going so far? Have you stuck to your plan or have you dropped the resolutions in the garbage already?
In today’s world, it is easier than ever to take our eyes off the goal with all the distractions we encounter every single day. As a result, it seems harder than ever to obtain our goals…leading us down the trail of frustration, feeling powerless and living our lives on autopilot. Consequently, another year may go by where your dreams remain just that…a dream, rather than a reality.
To help you keep your eyes on the goals and to avoid those shiny squirrels, I want to share some tips. If you would like to know more about how you can stick to your goals to make 2020 your best year yet, go to https://theleapnetwork.coachesconsole.com.
Let's all Lead, Empower, Aspire, and Promote in the LEAP Year!
Taking the LEAP with you!
5 Tips to Help You Stay Focused on Your Goals
 Setting goals can be effortless. It’s not hard to know what you want (or maybe what you don’t want), or write your goals down. Achieving them, on the other hand, can often be a bit of a challenge.
In order to reach your goals, you must maintain your focus on the end result, especially when things get rough.
Here are some tips to help you stay focused on your goals.
TIP #1 Create a visual reminder such as a dream board or a vision board.
A vision board contains pictures, personal reflections and other notes or images related to the finished goal. Pretend for a moment that your goal is to start a restaurant. Create a restaurant vision board full of pictures, such as cutouts from magazines depicting restaurant grand openings, the type of furniture you would like in the restaurant, famous people coming to visit or even a fake review you have written about your impending opening night. Visual reminders are meant to encourage and keep your eye on the prize when you hit a rough spot in your plans. To make your vision board even more powerful, include images that reflect “your why” you want your goal as well as images that reflect the feelings you will have upon your success.
Quiz: How Well Do You Manage Your Energy?
 When the seemingly relentless demands of your business or career and the burdens of a busy life take their toll on your performance ot the ability to have fun, we tend to think managing our time better will improve the situation.
If only we could just work faster, multitask more efficiently, then things will be better!
However, as Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz, authors of The Power of Full Engagement, explain, it is the skillful management of energy, not time, that most significantly affects high performance. Too often, we squander this valuable non-renewable resource through energy-taxing habits—physical, emotional, mental and spiritual habits. Also keep in mind, time management is a misnomer - there are always 24 hours in a day - so what's to manage? We need to manage ourselves, not time. So by ensuring we maintain and sustain good energy levels, we can make the most of this non-renewable resource called time.
Take this Self-Quiz to see how well you are managing your energy.
1. I rely on sugary or carbohydrate-rich snacks for bursts of energy when I need an energetic pick-me-up.
2. Life is an endless marathon to be endured; you just have to keep on running.

Renée Blasky is the Founder and CEO of The LEAP Network Ltd.
She wasn’t always the risk-taking entrepreneur that she is today. Through several important life experiences, including being an "expat" for the vast majority of her life and sailing an ocean, she learned the importance and benefits of risk-taking and how to embrace risk rather than fear it! Renée also realized capturing life’s fulfillment meant giving back to others. So, she started her second business: The LEAP Network in order to share her experiences and expertise with entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs. This includes "trailing spouses", stay-at-home parents or elderly care givers who have sacrificed their careers due to circumstances beyond their control. Renée coaches existing entrepreneurs on ways to monetize their passion, revitalize their businesses and take action to grow their businesses. She coaches those who have sacrificed their careers, either by choice or by uncontrolled circumstances, to eliminate frustration, boredom and loneliness while becoming more fulfilled and happy! By helping them start their own online businesses, they can get their identity back, boost their self esteem and once again be financially independent!
