My Vision Statement for 2011

Yesterday, I went to an event entitled "Dreams" that is hosted by my friend every year.  It is meant to help a group of women focus on their goals and vision for their life in the upcoming year and beyond.  It challenges us set a plan for how we want our life to be.  So, on this snowy day, I have developed my vision statement and list of goals for 2011.  I may not accomplish them all but I think its a good start.  This year's blog postings will be about my progress on these goals  (and of course other randomness : ) So here goes..........


I AM THE CEO OF ANDREA NICOLE HARPER ENTERPRISES.  I HAVE THE ABSOLUTE AND SOLE AUTHORITY TO FIRE ANY EMPLOYEES/CONTRACTORS THAT I DEEM TOXIC TO THE WORKPLACE, ARE UNPRODUCTIVE, OR THAT EXCESSIVELY USE BENEFITS WITHOUT RECIPROCAL PERFORMANCE.

I ALSO HAVE THE ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY TO HIRE EMPLOYEES WHO ARE ALIGNED WITH THE COMPANY'S GOALS AND VALUES; THOSE WHO ADD VALUE TO THE BOTTOM LINE.  I AM IN CHARGE OF ASSIGNING ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE COMPANY TO THOSE EMPLOYEES WHO I DEEM FIT AND CAPABLE.  I WILL NOT APOLOGIZE FOR DECISIONS MADE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COMPANY AND WILL NOT RECRUIT/RETAIN EMPLOYEES WHO DO NOT WANT TO BE A PART OF THE TEAM.

I AM AN EMOTIONAL, COMPASSIONATE,  AND INTROSPECTIVE WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN CAREFULLY AND PURPOSEFULLY MADE.  I AM PLEASED AT THE WORK BEING CREATED IN ANDREA NICOLE HARPER ENTERPRISES.


In 2011, I will:
Be open, thoughtfully
Give my body the things it needs to work well
Be the primary source of my confidence

And finally, my list.  I may not do them all, some have no rhyme or reason, many were suggested by "friends" and some are just for fun!
