Setting New Years Resolutions does little good for most people. We both know that right? So let's be realistic. But doesn't saying 'let's be realistic' sound almost crushing? As if our dreams and hopes for 2007 are not 'realistic', not likely to happen! Well consider that Lenin was told his plans for taking over the country were not realistic. And he said 'so much the worse for reality'. He had conviction. He had emotional dedicatio... more...

Just look at all your New Years Resolutions. Lot's to do right? So when ya gonna do it all huh huh huh? Painful to really think about isn't it? Well here's a few important tips I gave my clients... To do more of one thing, you will have to do less of other things. You don't have any 'free' time in your life, because you're already using up every single one of your 24 hours per day (that's 168 hours per week). Take for exampl... more...

The ability to set written goals and to create action plans are the 'Master Skills.' These are far more important than technical skills, selling skills or speaking skills, because they bring into effect the "cybernetic goal seeking mechanism" of the brain. This mechanism means that once you impress on your mind the goal, then your mind moves unerringly towards making your goal into a reality in every situation. The oil millionaire E.L.Hunt, when asked what the sec... more...

It's tradition to make New Year resolutions but how many of them do you actually keep? By the time the excitement of the New Year's celebrations have worn off many resolutions have already been discarded like the millions of tossed out Christmas trees. You slip back into your old ways. You get comfortable. Nothing changes. Indeed that is the crux of the matter. You want things to be better, you really do. And you really try to change your old habits and that is the di... more...

With these 4 tips you'll have a clear and simple way to set your 2007 New Years Resolutions. And you might just find yourself with far more optimism and expectation for better results than ever before. New Years Resolutions Tip 1 Before you can say what your resolutions are we must first agree on just what do we really mean by a New Years Resolution. For some it's a wish list, not much more. But there are those of us, perhaps 3-10% of us, that have commitm... more...

In the mortgage business, things usually slow down in the last few weeks of the year. It's nice because it gives me a chance to reflect over the last year, see what goals I have accomplished and prepare my business objectives for next year. This year I had some pretty aggressive goals - both personally and professionally. Personally I wanted to lose at least 50 lbs and be able to run a 5K. Well, since March I have lost 68 lbs and I can easily run 3 miles. I focused hard on my fitness... more...

Enhance your power to manifest the life of your dreams using these ten creative methods: 1) Keep the end in mind. Ask yourself, what specific quality of life will the object of my desire bring to me? Why do I want this? Will it bring more Love, Harmony, Joy, Peace, Wisdom or Prosperity? Once you identify your real goal, do your best to assimilate that quality without the object and you will be deliberating achieving a vibrational harmony with the object you desired in the first place. Whe... more...

What your beliefs are and the way you think are the two defining factors that will determine whether or not you will have success with your internet business. These two defining factors are what is known as a mindset. A mindset is universally defined as a habitual or characteristic mental attitude that determines how you will interpret and respond to situations. Two examples of individuals having incredible mindsets are Michael Jordan, and Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods has a mindset and... more...

Just like you may have Video on Demand as part of your cable or satellite TV service, your brain's got something called Vision on Demand. What happens when you go to the movies? You enter the theatre and take a seat. It's dark so you'll look at the screen rather than your surroundings. You've got to turn off your cell phone so you don't ruin the sense of suspended reality for the other moviegoers. You sit, watching. If it's a compelling movie, you fee... more...

The whole point of setting a goal is to help you bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be. If you set goals and work toward them diligently, you can have all the things you want. People who set and achieve their goals are people who've decided what they want, committed themselves to going after it, and haven't let anything stand in their way, short of violating the rights of others. A proper goal gives you all the incentive you need to grow in your awarenes... more...

If you've been affirming, visualizing and using manifesting techniques for years now and managed to manifest some of the things you've wanted, but still find that there are a few goals that you just can't seem to manifest, why does it seem to work some of the time but not all of the time? Maybe you don't deserve it! I mean, truthfully, do you deserve what you want? Do you really deserve the dreams and goals that you've set your sights on? Before you retu... more...

Simply put: holidays are a time of indulgence. We eat more food, buy more stuff, see more people. It's easy to get caught up in the snowflakes and tinsel and make somewhat unrealistic New Year's resolutions only to become so frustrated that we put away our resolutions along with our fruitcakes and mistletoe and only bring them back out when the next New Year rolls around. The "holiday spirit" is an elusive beast, spreading goodwill and festivities for only a short whil... more...

In my last post, I mentioned that we should set goal clearly and do it daily. Now, the question is, when is the best time in a day? Of course, the answer is in the morning. However, it should not be just anytime in the morning; it should be first thing in the morning! Yes! The first thing when you wake up, instead of brushing your teeth, you should rush to your desk, and start writing your daily goal! I mentioned in my other posting that there are long-term goal and short-term goal (whi... more...

There are many goals. Basically, they can be categorised into long-term goals and short-term goals. 1. Long-term goals: Anything that is bold! Just write down anything outrageous! It is ok; it is GOAL anyway, right? Remember, no invention begins without a boald dream! We will not have computers, if nobody dreamt of having a machine think as fast as us. We will not have cars if on one ever though of having a machine to carry us around. Next, write down not one or ten . .... more...

Everyone is familiar with a todo list. However, most people don't really understand the importance of having a list of the things you want to accomplish. Creating a todo list is creating a list of goals. The list tells you what you need to do to achieve some larger outcome in your life. The power isn't so much in the list itself, but in the overall goal it helps you to achieve. Having a list is a way to break down your life goals into easy manageable steps that you ca... more...

Goal setting is a critical part of your business and is one of the main parts of a good business plan. Many people when they first start a business neglect to do this and just go around in endless circles achieving very little. Without having some direction for your business it is very difficult to succeed. Lack of direction and purpose is the reason why many enterprises fail within their first year. Before you do anything for your business you will need to have a plan with realistic obje... more...

"Your beliefs form your reality, your body and its condition, your personal relationships, your environment, and en masse your civilization and your world." - Seth In the creation of wealth, you require to ensure that you are clear and positive (allowing, not resisting and negating) in four key areas of wealth: 1.

For a person to miss out on the staggering advantages of setting goals, there must be a psychological block somewhere. The block is the subconscious realization that every goal has an associated price tag - that it doesn't come free. It does not 'flow freely from the wondrous bounty of the universe.' There is a price to pay in order to achieve each goal. This knowledge evokes fear which triggers inertia and this stops you from taking this important first step. Of c... more...
