The Numbers Whisperer™ gets a visit from The Word Chef Mascot (BHAG)

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.

NIcole, many congratulations for receipt of said BHAG. (And your book of course!). I am in awe, as I start the process. The goal is to have the book complete by the end of May. However, I think the BHAG may like to stay in the USA and would be lost and lonely downunder, so perhaps if I succeed I might just get sent a virtual BHAG, photo will do!!

Thanks for dropping by Sandy. I just saw your cover the other day – very cool. Why note come back here and post it?

Well, I already have two monsters – Trockle and Prunebutt – and can’t imagine you having to send your little friend away so soon!

I guess my next BHAG is http://race2hugo.net. 😉 I had to issue a dare to keep me on track with that, and even so, some days it feels almost TOO audacious! A conversation with someone at the Library of Congress drove that point home, as I turned the site into a real periodical, as well.

I’m also working on my third children’s book and all that’s on top of a “real job” that I enjoy!

I remember seeing Trockle before. Love, love, love it! Don’t worry, I also got a little magnetic BHAG to keep around. He’s pretty darn cute.

Just started reading race2hugo – the tapestry entry intrigues me. Sounds like you have plenty of audacious goals (and a few kids to boot) to keep you plenty busy. Kudos.
