Quotables & Tweetables

I love hosting The Swain Sinus Show because I get to ask a doctor all the things I've always wanted to know, like does it really matter if your snot's green? - Stacy Wellborn

Container Yard is a coworking space. Its membership based and it's like a gym for the office. So, you can come once a week or every day and start a business, grow a business, have business meetings. - Stacy Wellborn

Johnny and I have been business owners for 10, 15, 20 years and one of the goals that we set was we needed to create a studio, and then we need a place to work. And really from that came Container Yard. - Stacy Wellborn

Goals can morph into other things. You may start out with one goal, but after working on it with time, it can kind of turn into something else. - Cadie Gaut

You get so caught up and just going and going that it's hard sometimes to know where do I want to be a year from now. - Cadie Gaut

In college, I picked up Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey and there's a system called Franklin Planners, which is based on Ben Franklin, who is known for having had these fantastic little notebooks that he kept all his goals and ideas. - Stacy Wellborn

The Franklin Planner and Stephen Covey merged probably 25 years ago, and they became the Franklin Covey planning system. - Stacy Wellborn

First things first, prioritize. And then write a list of goals and to-dos. - Stacy Wellborn

When you have your prioritized list, then go back and prioritize one, two, threes or ABC's, whichever you want to do. - Stacy Wellborn

Prioritizing is thinking longterm. I've got to do these things today, these things next week, these things in three months. - Stacy Wellborn

Everybody is trying to do more with less; we're driven to deadlines. It's just a deadline society. And if you don't have a deadline, then you're like, oh I'll get to that later. - Stacy Wellborn

A good goal is one that has a timeline, you know, a deadline or something measurable. - Stacy Wellborn

Every day's a new day. Don't be afraid to revise your goals and don't beat yourself up for not reaching all of them. - Stacy Wellborn

I think as business owners we tend to prioritize our business goals over our personal goals. - Stacy Wellborn

Take a lot of time to think about the year past. What did you accomplish, what went well, what didn't go so well? And then thinking about the future, what do I want to accomplish and what do I need to drop off that list? What do I need to add to the list? - Stacy Wellborn

Think about the areas of your life first and maybe make buckets: business, personal, relationship, family, health, spiritual. Think of some of those buckets. - Stacy Wellborn

Carve out that time for yourself to think through those buckets of life. And then within each bucket, maybe come up with one goal for each. - Stacy Wellborn

It's not like you have to wait until January 1st to set goals. You can set goals anytime. - Stacy Wellborn

Life is about choices and the choices you make. Are you going to work on your taxes or you going to go watch Netflix? - Cadie Gaut

Goals are a roadmap. But if I set that goal to reach $1 million in sales and I did 500 last year, well if I do anything between 500 and a million, I've won. I shouldn't beat myself up for not hitting my million goal in sales if I did 700,000 celebrate that. - Stacy Wellborn

Goals help me grow every year, even if I don't accomplish them. I know I'm improving. But I do certainly believe that even if you reach any small goal, you should celebrate it. - Stacy Wellborn
