Goal Setting

 

 
I consider that an important principle of empowerment is 
to identify an intention; a technique related to that 
principle is to write down the statement of intention. 
I consciously use the principle of intention in all aspects 
of my work, and express intention frequently with my clients. 
I also advocate writing down a statement of intention 
in certain situations.
 

Every year I've been in business for myself online has been better than the previous one. Recently, I decided to create an "Apprentice" program (Yes, even before Trump) and I was extremely pleased that we had nearly 100% of my Apprentices get an online  venture up and running.

I've gone back and thought about their projects and how they developed and I came to a striking conclusion that will be worth a lot of money to you this year if you heed it. There was one key aspect that got them off their butts and making money and it came down to one thing...

Forget New Year's Resolutions - They Don't Work

You can forget about making New Year's Resolutions if you're hoping for a successful outcome. Most aren't worth the paper they're written on.

No less than Mark Twain has written of New Year's Resolutions, "Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual. Yesterday, everybody smoked his last cigar, took his last drink, and swore his last oath. Today, we are a pious and exemplary community. Thirty days from now, we shall have cast our reformation to the winds and gone to cutting our ancient shortcomings considerably shorter than ever."

The biggest majority of New Year's Resolutions have gone by the wayside before January is over and most won't even be remembered six months later. And the reason is pretty simple: Most are made in response to something negative -- a habit or situation that the person wants to change or end. And therein lies the problem - it's hard to develop momentum from a negative response. It is always easier to move toward something rather than away from something.

The Day of Clean Slates and Fresh Starts by Kyle Wilson

This week is the week you had that special day circled on the calendar. The day of clean slates and fresh starts - January 1, 2006.

This is the week you get to tear up the old script and start a new one if you need to. You have permission to look at your life from the perspective of new and better possibilities and unlimited thinking and then be empowered to "go for it".

But let me give you the bad news/good news up front. Bad news - it takes some time and effort to sit down and contemplate, to reflect and day dream about the life you want. To plan and set goals takes an intentional decision. Now, the good news - budgeting the time and energy to plan and set goals will create insights, excitement and ultimately great results that will have a positive impact on your life in a permanent way. This week is the week that you get to create what the next 52 weeks and beyond will be for you. The week to focus on your Dreams and Goals.   Article Continues

Singular Success Method

If you have tried those weight loss programs where you have to keep to a strict eating plan and follow a particular exercise regime you may have found it a bit of a struggle to keep going.

Chances are you gave up after a few weeks or even a few days.  When we start out full of enthusiasm it's difficult to see the sheer effort that it will take to keep going when the novelty has worn off, it's a wet Tuesday In February and we're just plain tired of it all.

Some people do manage to makeover their lives overnight. It's fantastic if you have the willpower and determination to achieve this but most of us can't handle that much disruption to our lives all at once. We are already struggling to keep up with all we have to do each day.

So what do you do if you know your willpower is likely to give up on you when the going gets tough?

Creating a Life Mission Statement

Much like a corporate mission statement, your personal mission statement defines who you are, what you’re all about, and why you’re on this earth. Why do you need a personal mission statement?

·        It helps you make difficult decisions when faced with the myriad of choices life presents.

·        It helps you realize how very little time you truly have to accomplish the important things in your life.

·        It helps you recognize when you’re off course and steers you back in the right direction.

Do Your Goals Have Enough Gravity?

Big goals are not only more fun and exciting; they carry more weight than small ones. Ambitious, serious, “weighty goals” have attraction power.

They attract others into the process and magnetize ideas and resources. Big goals pull you along. They pull you through the difficult times and help you remain diligent. They inspire you to greater innovation and effective action.  Article continues

What Worked, What Didn't, What's Next?

By Michael Angier, SuccessNet

One of the common denominators of successful people is their ability to persevere when things don't go as planned. Effective people don't allow themselves to get bogged down in feelings that don't serve their purpose.

On the other hand, ineffective, unsuccessful people allow their emotions to rule rather than their rational and objective nature. They lament what happened or what didn't and become victims rather than masters of their circumstances.

We all have disappointments. We all suffer setbacks. If we're going to attempt anything worthwhile, we're going to experience failure. The mature—and ultimately successful person—sees failure as part of success. When one method fails, they try again with a new one. Sometimes it takes many attempts.

Set realistic goals

The lesson here is to continue to dream big dreams, but realize that the short-term goals that take you to the next plateau are the real keys to success.

 

The person with a fixed goal, a clear picture of his desire, or an ideal always before him, causes it, through repetition, to be buried deeply in his subconscious mind and is thus enabled, thanks to its generative and sustaining power, to realize his goal in a minimum of time and with a minimum of physical effort. Just pursue the thought unceasingly. Step by step you will achieve realization, for all your faculties and powers become directed to that end.

Claude M. Bristol 

 

 

 

Setting Personal Goals - Why? - Because you have ‘gone public’ and you do not want to lose face or have to answer questions about what happened to that lofty goal of becoming first in your graduating class.  Studies prove that public goals create more positive forward pressure. Having said that, there are times when you might NOT want to announce your goals to the world.  Choose whom you tell, when you tell, IF you tell!  And do so, consciously!

Brain Science and new Years Resolutions

Motivational speaker Jim Rohn once said, "I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacations with better care than they plan their lives. Perhaps it's because escape is easier than change."

 

Success psychologists say that 95% - 97% of the people in the world do NOT have written goals and fail, while 3-5% have written goals and succeed.

 

If these statistics are correct, then Mr Rohn's observation really IS quite fascinating isn't it?

 

Unfortunately for most people, the odds for success are actually even lower, because out of the few people who do set goals, most don't take goal setting seriously, they don't do it scientifically and they only do it once a year.

 

Goal setting is so important, that I always teach goal setting and mind dynamics first, and only THEN, do I teach nutrition and training second.

Creative Goal Setting for kids and teens

An Indian guide who displayed uncanny skills in navigating the rugged regions of the Southwest was asked how he did it. "What is your secret of being an expert tracker and trail-blazer?" a visitor asked him.

The guide answered: "There is no secret. One must only possess the far vision and the near look. The first step is to determine where you want to go. Then you must be sure that each step you take is a step in that direction."

A dream is what you would like for life to be. A Goal is what you intend to make happen. A goal is the near look; what, specifically, you intend to do on a daily basis to get there.  >>> more

 

 

Making Your Goals Count in 2006

by Jim Rohn

As we enter into this New Year we all tend to have a heightened sense of the opportunities and possibilities that 2006 can bring. The need for goal-setting becomes more obvious and clear. And the great thing about goal-setting is you can keep it as simple or get as elaborate as you would like. In fact, we have spent the last month in the One-Year Success Plan solely on the subject of goal-setting and have dedicated over 125 pages in the One-Year Plan to exercises on the subject. Space and time won't allow that here, but below are some abbreviated points on goal-setting for the New Year.  Article continues

Three Keys to Making Conscious Choices in 2006


By David Steele

In this first month of a new year I'd like to declare 2006 the "Year of Conscious Choices." Our planet would work so much better if all choices were conscious.

(Note: see below for f`ree Making Conscious Choices audio program.)

What does it mean to be "Conscious?"

To illustrate, I propose the following three levels of consciousness:      Article continues
