Special Announcements
Dear [firstname,fallback=reader]
The new year is upon us and
with it comes the opportunity and potential to do something new and
exciting. The changing of the year has become a symbol of renewal,
rejuvination, and one of hope for positive change. With it comes an
excitement and an energy that far too often dissipates as the weeks and
months pass by. Did you know that fewer than 10% of people that set New
Years Resolutions actually achieve their goals? I hope you enjoy
the article in the next section on how to successfully reach the goals
you establish for the new year.

Today's
Article: Achieve your goals in 2007!
Many of us make a new years resolution - only about 10% of which are
ever fulfilled! Personally, I refrain from creating my own new
years resolution, simply because each and every day provides the
opportunity to make positive change in our lives. Why wait for
the beginning of a new year to start something new, or to give
ourselves the recognition for accomplishing something we set our minds
to at another date?
Whatever your personal philosophy, the new year break does
provide a unique opportunity for us to do some soul searching to see if
there are areas we'd like to enhance or fulfill in our lives.
Some of the top new years resolutions include: Losing weight, spending
more time with family/friends, taking time to enjoy life, quitting
smoking/drinking, becoming organized, exercising, getting out of debt,
and educating ourselves. Do we see a theme? Essentially
people are looking to enhance their quality of life and their personal
wellness. Given such a tremendously admirable, courageous, and
fulfilling set of goals - its a wonder that only 10% of people actually
achieve them. Instead of looking at what people fail to do in
accomplishing their goals, lets take a look at what the 10% do in
successfully completing their goals. These are simple steps that
anyone can take to improve their likelihood for success.
Get support:
Don't be a lone ranger doing everything on your own. Ask a buddy
if they are willing to join you, call you, and constantly enroll you in
your vision. If you don't have someone that fills this shoe, you
can always enroll a coach!
Be clear of your vision:
Do you really know what it is you want to accomplish or is it a
vague goal? Make sure your goal is specific and clear.
By when?:
Have a clear date by which your goal must be completed.
This is not flexible - if you peg it as being flexible, you are
giving yourself room to push it off.
Write it down:
Make the goal visible to yourself - and others! The more
you see your goal, and the more others see it, the more the goal is
present in your mind and the more accountability you have towards
achieving it.
Don't give up and have compassion:
Its easy to talk ourselves out of our goals, dreams and desires.
When we get closer to taking action towards something big - the
conversations in our head become stronger and stronger suggesting we
should have never tried! This is normal! Recognize that the
dream is bigger than the conversation in the moment and pursue the goal
- you are worth it! If we happened to listen to the conversation
yesterday and lets say we had an 'eating binge', have compassion for
yourself and move forward. Thats no reason to give up.
For those looking to set some new goals in 2007, you may find the following tools useful in turning these into a reality.
1) Guided visualization. Learn to write your vision and use it as a source of motivation in attaining your goals.
2) Use my free goals report tool to develop an inspiring goal and get regular reminders to track your progress
