What are your goals for 2005

[Jaydee]

Hi All, hope 2005 is starting off a good year for you all. A question for you all is 'What are your goals for 2005'. I have sat down and thought long and hard about what I would like to achieve within this year. Here are mine. I am aiming to do my real rebalancing, sculpting and magic make over classes and sit my qualification day with l+p to become a Master. I am also hoping to build up a good portfolio of my work and also to start competing. I look forward to hearing yours.

I would have to agree with both of you... do my academy classes, and make a profit!

Firstly I hope you all achieve your goals this year.

My goal is to become a better tech... I've started the ball rolling by booking in my Fabric# conversion so I'm already on the way there eh? I just want to be good at what I do and improve my technique wherever possible. I want my clients to be happy with the service I provide and also to build up my clientelle.

That's it... one step at a time for me :wink2: If I do better than that I will be well impressed.

I hope 2005 is a positive experience for all.
What I really want is to raise the profile of nails over here, to not give up when I'm faced with so much miseducation (Clients, Beauticians and Nail Techs!) I want others to value training and education as much as I do rather than view it as 'expensive!'
I want to start building a good foundation for my future success.

I also would like to be able to control my addiction to this site, I know my Mum would be delighted if I put half as much energy into planning my wedding! (I've told her that its nails first - everything else later - sorry Steve!!LOL!!)

Hmm, I guess I have quite a few goals for this year, some probably more acheivable than others!

First off I would like starting my business to be a success, but don't we all? I'd like to be able to please my clients and know that every set of nails I do is the best I could have done. I would like to attend some more workshops or one-to-ones, although that does seem a little difficult in my area. Ideally I would like to be able to look at expanding - yes, I am thinking ahead rather too much, but this time next year, or at the end of the year, I would like to be in a position where I could offer more treatments or have a bigger room. I guess that will all depend on how this year goes!

By the end of the year I would like Al and I to be in a financial position where we can at least be looking at somewhere to move into together again, rather than living with our parents, but that also depends on the business - both mine and his!

On a shallow note, one goal is to reach a point somewhere this year when I can have made enough £££ in one month to purchase something I really want. I don't know what it is yet, but I guess I will finally feel like I am acheiving something when I can say 'yep, I can afford that now'. Nothing big, but I long to have that feeling of independence where I can say 'look at this, I earned it and it's mine'.

Finally I long to be in a position where my parents don't worry about me anymore. I guess they always will, after all, they're my parents, but I want them to be able to be safe in the knowledge that I am happy and making a success of something. And I want to be here this time next year saying that I reached these goals!!

xxxx

Oh, last but not least, I wish for all my fellow Geeks to reach their goals too!

Hi everyone,
My goals are to learn to drive, get my youngest off to school in september, and to go mobile in my area. Happy New Year to everyone hope all your dreams are achieved.

 

[dawn74pink]

My goals are to build up the business, and become successful in the teaching career which I am about to enter in the next week. Thinking about taking a course in September in Reflexology, it looks interesting.

 

[Sal]

Good luck all, here are mine:

To learn as much about the nail industry as possible, to practice l&p application, manis, pedis and nail art as much as possible until I am confident enough to advertise my services as a mobile technician and to gain clients.

To have happy and healthy family and friends.

For my beloved Anthony to be successful in his new job.

To have a sparkly ring on my left ring finger before the year is over (all cross fingers please that Anthony asks me this year!!).

Surely not too much to ask?!!!!!

 

[Nichola]

My goal is to become a qualified nail technician!

 

[Debz]

Get back in to size 10 jeans!!!!
