Ladies...what are your dreams/goals and what have you done to achieve them?

[DEE-LICIOUS]

ok wait...I didn't even say mine.

My long term goal is to open my own corporate event planning business. I want a meeting planning department, an event planning department and a drayage department. I'm still working on my business plan, and I should get this off the ground in 3 years. My plan is to start w.the meeting planning portion because I know exactly whats missing in that field/what needs haven't been met and I think that'll make me the most money while starting.

Short term goal is to get a position as an assistant director in my field. Right now I'm a manager, which is good for my age range but I would like a bigger challenge. Been at this job for a while and there are no opportunities for growth and no money to plan events the way I'd like, so....I definitely can't wait to leave and be challenged.

Steps I've taken to achieve my goal- Got my degree, working on my masters now...in a week I take my comps which will determine if I graduate or not. Hopefully I gradate in May! I've also joined professional orgs and go to plenty of trainings to advance my knowledge. I'll be going for my professional certification after I get my Masters...sposed to take that test next January (they only offer it twice a year smh) and after that...i'll be working on my doctorate but I KNOW imma take a few years before I enroll in school for that. That's not needed for my field...I just want it.

ok i'll be in the library till 11pm but hopefully yall respond.

reading all these articles about how black women are becoming more educated, more successful, etc....i am just wondering what exactly my ic ladies are doing.

This isn't just about black women either - i just explained what inspired me to make this thread.

But anyway, so what are your goals? What have you done to achieve them? What do you plan on doing? How hard is it to achieve these goals while having a child to take care of? Lets start a dialogue on this.....

dee-gusting yo thread is dying b

I'm on my phone and that's way too much typing.

Right now I'm focused on my short term goals which is getting myself in a position where I can focus on my long term goals. This is the year though...I'm confident in that.

Oh and being a single parent definitely takes a toll on your plans and goals. One of my main goals is to return to school but that will have to wait until she's in school at least.

Short term goals--finish school and begin teaching middle school math.
Long term goal--open my own after school program for middle school students....that's the age group that needs the most attention and the group that gets looked over the most.

When you're in elementary you have all of these daycare options and when you're in high school you have all of these after school activities/clubs to occupy your time. A lot of middle school kids have neither of those, and you know what idle time leads to.... So, that's why I'm particularly interested with that age group. If no one else cares, Blue cares.

What am I doing to achieve them? Well, I'm in school now and on track to graduate soon. I finally found a major that I like, lol. As far as the long term, I've been researching other programs for teens and I've even made a connection with a grant writer that's told me how/where to take courses on grant writing. But, first thing first....teaching.

I would like to be an actress

Great thread Dee !

Short term goals - finish my requirements to become board certified in family law and a mediator. I have to do a bunch of CLE's and 2 more trials... it will most likely take me at least a year. I've also began the process of buying a house. There are 2 schools my son wants to go to highschool so I'm going to try to move in those neighborhoods. Finally continue to raise my future Heisman winner , I've been approached by this coach at a private school that wants my son to play for them. Not sure about it but they are going to have him in a few camps this summer so we'll see how he likes it.

Long term goals - go back to school to become an attorney and start my own practice.

 

[riddlerap]

Really? Have you ever considered acting? You should audition for Donkey. They never run out a need for jackasses.

Actually, I'm pretty talented at acting. Good enough to be professional at it.

allegedlyyyyy!

 

[DEE-LICIOUS]

Thanks for the feedback ladies!! Nice to see plans being carried out!
