THE LIFE OF GAB - Barb Grupido Faith is taking the first step when you can't see the stairwell. Starting GAB Social Solutions wasn't quite a blind step for me, after working as an entrepreneur for over 30 years I could see the wall at least. In 1984 I opened my first business, Busy Bee House Cleaning. After growing it from a single person to a nine-person cleaning service and into a profitable small business I sold my share to my business partner to commit myself to raise my family. Having six kids takes a lot of work and organizational skills, but I guess that wasn't enough for me! After my fifth child was born I opened my second business in 1994, Wheat's Wear Embroidery. By 2000 Wheat's Wear Embroidery had grown and changed names to Wheat's Wear School Uniforms, with my second business name, One Stop Shop Embroidery & Screen Printing and my third Scrub Up Medical Scrubs & Supplies. All with the help of my own marketing and sales strategies and my first ever website services. Tragedy struck in January of 2006 when I was diagnosed with Lupus and began chemotherapy. I kept my small-businesses open and running for four more years, then at the insistence of my doctor, I closed up shop. Having leftover product from the store though, I set up my own home online shop to clear out the inventory. My own strategies had to grow as the technology we used evolved. The days of fliers and ads at the movie theater were flying by. If I wanted to get people to stop by my new online shop, I needed to evolve with the times. You see the steps here are made of the ever-changing landscape of social media. So, I grabbed the railing, looked at the wall I had already built from years of running and marketing my own small-businesses and started to climb the stairs of social media and website building. I had faith that while I may not be able to do the work I once did thanks to my illness, I could make social media work for me. So I've been learning and growing my strategies as the world around us does ever since. Follow Barb Grupido's steps and have faith that GAB Social Solutions will help you make it to the top of your own proverbial staircase.

Personal Growth REQUIRES Expanding Into The Unfamiliar. My Motto this year!

In other words, if you want to grow you better be ready to get comfortable with the uncomfortable.

Thanks, David Weber, Phil Wilson, Justin Holland, Anthea, and Natalia Linis!
for saying this enough times that it has stuck in my brain.

Whatever the goal, whether it’s to be, adventurous, new business, loving, vulnerable, financially stable – it requires a “YES,” a shift in our mind shift to break down old habits and outdated ways of thinking.

I have the Tenacity to keep moving forward.

Imagine a life where you wake up every single day with passion and purpose…

Posted on by gabsocialsolutions

Now go one step further and imagine if every day of your life was your ideal day….

Whether that means you spend your days traveling the world, sitting at resorts sipping cocktails, shopping all day, or spending more time at home with your loved ones (or fur babies).

I’m going to guess the only thing holding you back from turning this dream life into reality is that you haven’t figured out how to do it.

Sigh…. so what’s a girl to do?

Well, that’s where we come in. We believe everybody deserves to build a life they love. Whether you want to quit your job and travel around the world or just replace your income so you can work from home, we want you to know you CAN do it.

You are fully in control of your life. And where you’re at in life at this same point next year is totally up to you.

There is nothing wrong with receiving money for doing what you love. In fact, that is the best thing you could possibly do. Life is far too short to be doing anything other than what you absolutely love! And when you live up to your purpose you can’t help but inspire others to live up to theirs as well. Now that’s powerful!

So where do we come in? You don’t know where to start… we’re living proof you can take your passions and turn them into a business that enables you to create a life you love. So let us show you exactly how you can do it too. With our tried and tested Social Media Bootcamp. Listen to Justin’s Being Real Video by clicking the link below.

Part 4 of 4

As the year progresses, include comments or notes on original goals

(Remember you should have included space for notes where the original goals were written.)

Update when there has been a significant advance; when the goal has been accomplished or if the goal is put on the back burner.

At this point, you may want to consider having a Master Goal Sheet, especially if your journal is used to also record other things. I have put my Master Goal Sheet in an online journal. I use Google Drive Document, but there are some other great websites.

What do you use to plan out your goals? What works for you?

Planning Goals Part 3 of 4

Part 3 of 4

I am a strong believer in the audio, visual and tactile methods of learning; and all these methods can be applied to goal setting.

Most people do better with physically writing out their goals. Most goals will need to be evaluated periodically to keep them on track.

At these check-ins, you can look for what is not working and correct it or, if needed, make the decision to put it on the back burner, which is a completely acceptable decision.

Are you working on your goals for next year yet?

Part 2 of 4~

When I started a review process, it did indeed become apparent that I was advancing. I was now able to determine whether a goal needed to be tweaked, completely changed, or deleted. When I write down the original goal, I leave room to rewrite or add notes.

I know of people who use an online journal. I am incorporating both an online and a paper journal into my goal setting. Of course, you need to figure out what works best for you!

▪Goal Setting part 1 of 4~
▪
January 2019, I was ready to start on my 4th year in business. As I began trying to write goals, I found that I needed to know the results of my first three year’s goals. Unsure if I had accomplished any of them because I wasn’t checking regularly with my set plan, I had to ask myself whether I was on-track overall. Had any of my goals fallen to the wayside, and was that acceptable to me? Or did I need to modify any of the goals?
