What Magazine Will Have Your Picture on the Cover in 2010?

This year Ellen fulfilled a goal of getting on the cover of O Magazine.  Only one other person has shared the cover with Oprah.  It was an outrageous dream and goal for Ellen but she isn’t known for holding back when pursuing a goal.  She did what she had to do to make it happen and it happened – in a big way.

I’m thinking about my goals for 2010.  I’ve got some that seem like a stretch but nothing really outrageous. I’d like to be a little more out there.

Would you like to have your picture on a magazine in 2010?  Or maybe you want to have it on the back cover of a book you are writing?  Or maybe you would like to be on the front page of a newspaper.  I had a friend get a cover story on a major newspaper just last week – her first for that newspaper.

Be outrageous. Set a crazy goal for 2010.  Something bigger than losing ten pounds.  Something unthinkable and then commit to making it happen.

Another Conversation with Myself

In the book The Noticer by Andy Andrews, the main character, Jones, suggests to a couple of people he encounters that they ask themselves this question every day: “What is it about me that other people would change if they could?” That’s a brave question in my estimation. It takes 360 performance reviews to a different level.

It makes me a little nervous to even consider honestly asking that question. What would other people change about me if they could? This is not an invitation to comment your answer to that question!

Jones suggests variations on the topic. What is it about the way I talk that other people would change, What is it about the way I dress that other people would change, What is it about the I act that other people would change? I am asking myself this question as we head into 2010. What is it about me that other people would change if they could? What is it about YOU that other people would change if they could?
