Hey there, Jen here, and this is a happy bit. So in the business world, many of us plan our next year

in October, planning the annual goals for 2018. And I've had a blast doing mine this week.

And it's fun to see 52 weeks of the year and what I'm going to fill them with. There are 52 podcast

episodes, 52 happy bits. and it's just fun to have

that big picture view. So that is what I wanted to talk about today in this happy bit. What are you

going to accomplish in 2018? Thinking way ahead of the game, starting to imagine all the possibilities,

maybe grab a notebook and just start writing all the options,

all the ideas that come to your mind. And then take maybe a poster board and start to prioritize,

start to map out the 52 weeks in a year or the 12 months of the year and see how your year is going to look. They say, as you know, that trite and cliche phrase, when we fail to plan, we plan to

fail. So I want to challenge you to start planning your 2018 now and make it amazing. Maybe you're going to go on a trip. Maybe you're going to

join a gym and go do yoga twice a week. Who knows, the possibilities are endless. But I want to hear

your goals, and I'm going to feature some of those on some upcoming episodes. So I just installed a

really cool feature on the website

where you can comment on a podcast episode and have the option of allowing me to share your

comments on a future episode. Kind of fun, right? So just go to genridea.com forward slash happy

83 and scroll down to the comments section.

You'll see where you can leave a review on iTunes.

Thank you if you do that.

But then also you see this big green button that says start recording.

And it will just record your voice and then email it to me.

I will listen to those and include a few on a next episode, on a future happy bit,

and we can kind of hear each other's goals and what other women are doing and get ideas.
