Make Your Goal Public

This week,
I announced to the world
that I will write for Harlequin Presents
in 2010.

I don’t have a manuscript ready yet.
I don’t have an editor waiting for a manuscript.
I’m starting from the slush pile.
But the goal is out there
and now I’m hustling to make it happen.

I do this with all my key goals
(that can be public knowledge).
I know that I have
a big enough ego
that I will move heaven and earth
to prevent looking like a jacka$$.
That is what will happen
if I don’t achieve what I set out to do.

Make your goal public.
Let your friends, family, and yes,
even your enemies
help you achieve it.
