 How to
Use This
Workbook
Hello creative person!

I believe whole-heartedly in the power of setting goals, not just for your own personal
reference, but because when we write something down it makes massive changes in
our lives through tiny movements in our decision making and beyond.

Every year I sit down (in mid January, because who really has time right after the
holidays?) and set some goals for the year. I also make lots of space for big, crazy
goals that I don't think I can achieve (but really want) because I have seen time and
time again how putting something down onto paper begins the process of making it
happen.

Whether you believe in God, the Universe, nature, or just plain physics, writing
something down makes waves in our world. It also does the simple task of getting
what we want crystal clear in our own minds.

I've also found that when I write my goals in a notebook and don't look at them again,
they don't tend to stay on the top of my mind. So I prefer to create something
beautiful, like this workbook, to make the goals lists a pleasure to go back to
throughout the year. This year, I wanted to share that with you so you can enjoy
looking back over your goals and making more notes all year long.

So I hope you'll join me this year in putting your goals down in writing, and if you'd
like to share your goals online you can tag me @lizkohlerbrown so I can see them!

Happy creating!
