I see you shaking your head.
Goal setting fun? And sexy? No way! I get it. Writing goals and going to the dentist are tied on my list of least favorite chores. However, when I discovered New Zealand author Julie Schooler’s latest book in her Nourish Your Soul Series, Super Sexy Goal Setting, I knew that if anybody could entice me to come up with goals, it would be Julie. Julie and I met a few years ago online after she tickled me with her children’s books, Maxy-Moo Flies to the Moon. Since then, she’s drawn me into her upbeat series of non-fiction books for grown-ups with her quirky, cut-to-the-chase writing style. Have a peek at Super Sexy Goal Setting (it'll rock your goal-setting world!), meet Julie, and learn more about this mum of two humans, who lives in the bottom half of the world, in my author Q&A.

Q & As
with Julie Schooler: writing, goal setting and more
Cat: What inspired you to write this book?
Julie: Super Sexy Goal Setting, was written to help people – anyone from 9 to 90 - to write and take action on exciting and meaningful goals. Less than 10% of us write out goals – less than 10%!! Yet goal setting is proven to be one of the powerful things that bring clarity, joy and a sense of accomplishment to our lives. I believe that people don’t write out goals because they think it is too hard or too boring or they can’t see the point. This book smashes through these myths by getting the reader to figure out FOUR super sexy goals for the next 12 months. It is the perfect book to read now at the start of a new year.
Cat: Do you usually reach your goals?
Julie: Yes, because I only set a few each year plus I make them inspiring and fun. Cat: What is your top goal for 2020? Julie: I am still writing out my 2020 goals (in fact I am doing it right after this). I will have four goals – one main one in each of health, business and relationships and the fourth one is around fun or side projects. My top author business goal is to write and publish the next book before May 2020 – I better work out what it is quick smart! 
Inspirational quote from "Super Sexy Goal Setting"
Cat: What is your one best piece of advice to help people who dislike goal setting (like moi -:D)?
Julie: Read my book of course! If you are short on time or can’t read my book right now, I challenge you to do this: Write down just ONE goal. Decide on just one thing you want to take action, master or complete in say the next two months. When you can check that goal off through focus and work you will see in practice the real power of goal setting and hopefully it makes you want to create more goals. Cat: What is your next book project? Julie: To be honest, I don’t know! I am currently working out my top four super sexy goals for 2020 and part of that is working out the next book writing project. I have lots of ideas but haven’t settled on the first one yet. Any suggestions are welcome! Cat: If you could be a Disney character who would you be and why? Julie: Sleeping Beauty. It is currently summer school holidays here in New Zealand. I have had weeks of two kids climbing all over me, fighting with each other and complaining they are either bored or hungry. So the thought of a nice, long, uninterrupted nap sounds like bliss.  Frontispiece scan "Little Women" (1869), written by L. M. Alcott; illustrated by May Alcott L. M.

Cat: Favorite book you read as a child OR favorite book you read to your children?
Julie: My favorite book I read as a child was an old copy of Little Women that I found on my grandparent’s bookcase and read whenever I went to their house. I have read that series of books so many times! I just watched the new film version of the books and loved blubbering my way through it. He gives her the piano. So. Many. Tears.
Cat: Favorite genre to read OR last book finished?
Julie: I read a LOT of non-fiction self-help books as I write in that space. Love Brené Brown so much and am currently reading Rising Strong. For fiction I read anything and everything - latest bestsellers and recommended books are top of the list. If I had to narrow it down, I guess I would mostly read women’s fiction. The last book I finished was out of a pile of novels that I won at the start of 2019 and it was NOT great so I won’t say its name. There is nothing worse than an unsatisfying read! Cat: What else might readers like to know about you? Julie: I lost my job as an accountant four years ago and been writing ever since. Have not looked back although I do have to admit that I like to create spreadsheets for my book sales! Cat: Thanks a ton for stopping by, Julie! All the best with your writing life and keeping up with those two young 'uns. With your focus and talents, we know you'll reach your 2020 goals.
