This is the book I authored. I'm releasing it this Spring, in May. Frankly, it's not just a guide to success, it's in fact my one-on-one intimate talk with YOU. I'm thrilled to share this book with the world! Thank you for checking it out!

Valuable Book on So Many Levels
Anna Stevens is a role model. With so many books available about discovering your true meaning in life and aligning your dreams with your goals, it is unusual to encounter a book that is written with such honesty and dignity as this very smart book. Getting to know the obstacles that Anna had to overcome in her early years lights the fuse for all of us - if she did it, surely with her guidance we all can accomplish what she sets out to teach us.
The key to this multifaceted book is the word GOALS and after reading how Anna came about her concepts she makes us realize how uneducated we are as to understanding the concept of setting goals and how rather incompetent we are in implementing them. That may sound a bit naïve, but read Anna Stevens firm but friendly manner and discover how to set realistic goals, how to cope with our mindset to overcome doubt and negativity and stage fright and replace those with self-accountability, self-discipline and self leadership.
Once our guide has taught us how to set smart goals she extends that information to encompass entrepreneurs, managers and even parents! She instructs us on the use of smart goals template, on finding and utilizing an accountability partner, on staying focused, and on taking actions with consistency. By the end of the book the feeling of that `a-ha moment' fills the mind and Anna takes us beyond that with advice on how to move from the new plane on which we have arrived.
Scattered throughout the book are little photographs of Anna's family and past and with these photographs she manages to keep us grounded in her thought pattern. This is a `feel good' book, not only because we have learned some valuable tips from reading it, but also we feel as though we know this little Russian emigrant as a friend and confidant!

Anna! Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping me simplify my life by using SMART goals! I’m no stranger to setting goals, but fall short at times due to the everyday hustle and bustle of life. Your book did a great job at explaining how the fine details help make the goal more obtainable and reachable. As a working single parent of a very busy young lady, I sometimes get my goals put on the back burner. I feel that Turn Your Dreams and Wants into Achievable SMART Goals! will not only help me professionally, but also as a parent. After reading your book, my daughter and I both have set some goals and the detailed steps on how we wish to achieve them. We have also decided to write five things each evening that we are thankful for. Thanks so much for sharing your life experiences and letting us know that despite what circumstances you deal in life with, good or bad, you can always come out a winner!

Anna's SMART goals book is an interesting read for its unique combination of SMART goals and Emotional Intelligence with Anna's own personal experiences in the mix. I learned that in order for you to succeed you need to use Anna's system to set goals and you also have to apply Emotional Intelligence to carry them through. Love it!!! A must-read!!!

SMART Goals is a must read! Anna provides practical information in a format that is easy to follow. Her willingness to share her personal and professional journeys is truly inspirational and provides solid evidence that her methods truly work. This is a book that will remain in my tool box for many years to come. I’m already making a list of the people that will be getting it as a gift, as well as recommending to all my professional business partners!

I usually don't read self-help or business related books, but "Turn Your Dreams and Wants Into Achievable SMART Goals!" kept me turning the page. I even found myself doing the exercises included in the chapters. It was a very beneficial read that opened my eyes to the best way to set and meet goals.
Anna Stevens writes in a very concise and clear manner that lays the information out in a way that is not only easy to understand, but interesting. The chapters are also short and read quickly so you can read a chapter here and there as you have time.
As I worked on the exercises in this book, I realized that there were key components missing in my own goal-setting. I am a painter, photographer and writer (and that's not including my day job!) so I am very familiar with the dreaded To-Do list. In fact, I sometimes wind up with two or three lists of things to do, projects to finish, etc. No longer! I am determined to put Anna's suggestions and philosophy to work in my daily goal-setting and I recommend that anyone who struggles with feeling overwhelmed by too many things to do or time-management: READ THIS BOOK. And be prepared for some self-discovery along the way.
The best part about this book is that it's not just for managers and entrepreneurs, but for parents as well. No matter what your circumstances are, you can apply Anna's methods to your daily life and see improvements. The book even includes some very simple but useful templates to aid you in your goal-setting. It is worth every penny and also makes a wonderful gift to family and friends.
"Turn Your Dreams and Wants Into Achievable SMART Goals!" does not disappoint and you will find Anna's voice to be honest, open and truly inspirational.
