Expansion Update December was the month of inspections and upgrading and moving our existing building’s electrical panels. Many of them were from the 1950s. This created a couple of days of “romantic” low lighting while shopping. Thanks again to you for your understanding!! Now that our major inspections are done and the insulation has been installed, the dry wall is going up & we can prepare to paint the interior. There are doors with locks and furnaces!!! The exterior porch and seating areas are complete and the rock and concrete work is amazing. Grandpa would be pleased. Once the interior painting is completed the three openings for the doors into the existing store will be cut, those doors will be installed and the floors can then be stained and sealed. The target date to be in the new building has been moved to January 15th and to have Winegar’s Home Made Ice Cream & Coffee open by mid February.
Since this is the time of year everyone talks about setting goals making New Years resolutions the following has become my annual reprinting of the article I wrote back in 2012 on the subject. I hope you find it useful______________________________________________________
One secret most people don’t want to talk about when it comes to achieving their goals is the fact that most goals are accomplished by creating the right habits. As Vince Zirpoli, a Management Consultant at www.MegaMarketing.com likes to say“Successful people have the discipline to create the habits that allow them to achieve their goals”. After you have created a written SMART goal (more on that on page 3) and start to take the steps to achieve it, you quickly come to realize that what you really need to do is create new and different HABITS. Think about the goal of saving $5,000 in a new savings account to be used on Friday, January 14th, 2014 to invest in a ROTH IRA for your retirement. To accomplish this goal you will need to open a savings account, and put $416.66 in it each month. How are you going to come up with the $416.66? – the only legal ways I know of are to spend less or make more. You can take on extra work by changing your HABITS and investing your time differently, less Facebook, TV, emails ect.. and invest that time into a part time job or extra responsibilities at your current job. You can create the Habit of spending less. A great way to do this is to take a set amount from each paycheck and immediately put it in the new savings account. Habits take DISCIPLINE, DETERMINATION, and PERSISTANCE to accomplish. But like everything in life, if you want a different outcome, you are going to need to do something different. That takes WORK. But you can do it if you take the responsibility to create the Habits that will allow you to achieve your goals. Even the process of setting goals is nothing more then creating the habit of thinking it through, getting it in writing and taking the steps to achieve it!!!
