Welcome to Our Book's Online Home

We’re your site hosts and Goal Sisters, Michelle Beaulieu Pillen and Ann Leach, co-authors of Goal Sisters: Live the Life You Want With a Little Help From Your Friends!

Have you ever had a goal you met because you knew someone else cared if you met it, and nudged you along as you did? Wasn’t so hard, was it? That’s the idea behind finding a Goal Sister and supporting her while she meets her goals and encourages you to meet yours.

Whether you want to change careers, lose weight, enhance your love life, or explore a passion, the Goal Sisters process will help you create the life you want and have fun doing it!

Our book shows you how to:

~ Find like-minded women who will become your enthusiastic cheerleader, trusted confidante, and resourceful guide!

~ Turn your intentions into different sized goals

~ Hold regular in-person meetings to touch base, problem solve your obstacles, and share resources!

~ Keep each other accountable for taking steps toward achieving your goals

~ Take overnight adventures to delve deeper into your obstacles and celebrate your successes!

So, what are you waiting for? Be good to yourself today and buy yourself a copy of GOAL SISTERS! And while you're at it, buy copies for your friends, co-workers, daughters, nieces, aunties, partner, sisters - for any woman you care about who needs a supportive push toward accomplishing her goals!

Being a member of this Goal Sister group reminded me of the importance of the power, support, love and friendship of other women. There’s nothing like it!

I have learned not to be overwhelmed by a project or task by breaking it down into several small obtainable goals.
