Stop Planning and Just Do It!

Friday, December 31st, 2010

Are you a great planner? Do you love coming up with ideas, lists, and plans? Do you then carry out those plans? If not, you might fall into the rut that I do – planning but not executing it. I often think about travel, but don’t actually go anywhere. I create business ideas but don’t [...]

You Can Change Your Plans

Do you know what it would take to complete your dream trip? Have you really planned out how you would go about it, much time you would need, and how much money it would cost? If you haven’t, you might be surprised at how little it would really take. My Dream Trip I want to [...]

Personal Projects

Friday, December 17th, 2010

My list of personal art projects seems to keep growing without me actually making anything. This Christmas break, I’m going to see how many of them I can get finished.
