Getting a Monster in the Mail: Achieving My Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG)

Posted by Nicole Fende in General Finance | 12 comments

Fluffy Finance Feline with BHAG and Nicole Fende Today was a first, I received a monster in the mail. AND I was excited about it! As you can see, Fluffy was pretty excited too.

The monster’s name is BHAG, which stands for Big Hairy Audacious Goal, and she is the Official Word Chef Mascot for Tea Silvestre.

Watch the video below, and find out why Tea Silvestre sent me BHAG.

What’s in this video?

BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) visits The Numbers Whisperer (TM). BHAG was created by Tea Silvestre, The Word Chef, to honor successfully tackling a monumental goal. Nicole (that’s me!) received it in honor of her book, How to be a Finance Rock Star: The Small Business Owner’s Ticket to Multi-Platinum Profits.

Share YOUR Big Hairy Audacious Goal

Whether it’s a goal you’ve already accomplished, one that is in the works, or even something you are considering, please share it below. I’d love to learn more about your BHAG.

Hi Nicole, I love your ideas they are so fresh and motivating. I’m so close to buying your book. I just finished registering the Blog Engage Business, I opened my HST account and Business Bank Account. I’m only a few night sleeps away from depositing my first end of month cash deposit into my new Blog Engage Business Bank Account. It’s a lot of work and perhaps this is my Hairy Audacious Goal. I’m so excited to continue growing my business.

If this goal is draining you of energy, health, or money, then, I suppose you would have to quit. If this goal is ruining your marriage or the relationship you have with your children, you would have to quit. Goals are not “have-tos.” “They are want-tos.” Perseverence IS important, but it also is important to know when to quit something that has a potential for harm.

I think the problem I have is that I don’t have a big hairy deal to overcome. If I don’t make a goal how will I reach it!
