| Article Title :: Goal Setting: Stop Failing and Start Finishing |
| |
| While the idea of goal setting is not a new concept, we do see an ever-increasing number of people becoming more and more frustrated with setting a worthwhile goal. The frustration, it appears, comes from never being able to realize the fruit of their labor. Therefore, it is with this growing number of goal setting failures that I wish to illustrate three fundamentals of proper goal setting that should significantly increase the probability of a finished goal rather than a failed one.1. Feed “Your” DesireAny goal that you seek to accomplish should be complementary to your desires. For instance, you may have a desire to become wealthy or debt free. Maybe your desir (read full article) |

| Article Title :: What Words Will They Chisel Into Your Tombstone? |
| |
| One day you will inevitably die. A morbid statement, I know, but one that is true. I don’t want to upset you so let me say this - hopefully that day will be a long, long way off. However, I have a question for you now.What words will they chisel into your tombstone? Oh I know, most people are cremated these days. What I am really saying here is this - when it is all over for you, what will you be remembered for?What about something like this?“Here lies Fred Nurk. He was born. He lived. He died.”Not too impressive is it? You might ask: “What did Fred do all his life? Perhaps somebody in the mourning congregation might say a few words to explain the mean (read full article) |

| Article Title :: One Focus To Success |
| |
| Too many times we are distracted from our main goal and purpose by all of the different things out there that we want, or think we want. Instead of making choices, we seem to want it all, everything we come across. Too many conflicting desires is a recipe for disaster.With every goal which does not align with our main definite goal or purpose, our percentage chance to achieve it goes down. With dilution, our focus and concentration lose strength, and we lose momentum with each direction change.Another potential downside to having too many goals and not attaining them, is the potential negative hit to our self image. This could be disempowering in the long term if not put int (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Setting Goals and Achieving Them |
| |
| Whatever you want in life, you have far more chance of achieving it if you set a clear goal, written down, with a definite time scale.For example, if you want to lose weight, set a target weight and a realistic date for reaching this target. This way you will be more committed to actually forming a plan to do something about it, and keeping to it. Follow this step-by-step process for your goal.1. Once you have decided what it is you want to achieve, make sure you have a clear vision. Really see it, feel it, hear it, taste it. If you have a goal to lose weight, imagine how you will feel when you have reached your target weight - how will you feel about yourself? How will y (read full article) |

| Article Title :: It's Your Dream - Are You Using The One-Two Punch? |
| |
| Have you ever noticed? There are some people who seem to
know exactly what they want and how to get it. They move
toward their targets with precision, and appear to achieve
easily without goals or planning. They have a narrowed focus
and motivation, reasons for doing what they do. They don't
even have a set of written goals, yet they move through life
attaining what they go after.Then, there are some of us that need the strategies, the
written goals and plans of action, and great role models to
follow. Neither is good or bad, right or wrong. There are
just different needs for different people. This article is
for those of us who need the latter.What's your dream? W (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Goal Setting: Plan for Success |
| |
| The purpose of having an analytical brain is to use it to think and make a plan before we act.Acting spontaneously out of fear, revenge, spite, anger and a host of other emotions is a sure-fire way to set yourself up for failure.If you plan your moves in advance your chances of success are increased. The most successful chess players do this.By reacting to outside influences you will always be controlled by those influences.By being pro-active you are dictating the terms. It doesn't matter what field you are in - business, a personal relationship, sport, a hobby - planning ahead will always bring about better results. But how many people are prepared to devote (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Goal Setting - Get Exactly What You Want! |
| |
| I am writing you from the quaint sea town of New Bern, NC where my wife and I are catching some much needed R&R.Lately many of our students have been telling us that their biggest goal is to leave their current 9 to 5 J-O-B and start investing in real estate full time. They no longer want to be tied down by corporate rules and structure.While I was on this trip I realized that if my wife had not left her job last week, we could not be here right now. She simply would not have been able to take time off. So, how was she able to retire at 24? The answer is quite simple…She took a few of the success principles Lou and I preach to our students daily and took action on t (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Goal Setting and Goal Getting: Go Use This Stuff! |
| |
| Q. I have always had such trouble with doing this goals thing. I don't know where to start or what to do. I can't seem to get going. I end up floundering, getting discouraged and giving up. Can you help me figure this thing out?A. There are lots of things wrong with goals. One is growing up believing we set them only once a year - the dreaded New Year's resolutions. Another is believing goals are something you achieve and then walk away.There are many things that get in the way of achieving our goals.We have the false notion that goals are to be set only at the beginning of the year. Most New Year's resolutions are broken and forgotten before the end of January, so it (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How To Achieve Your Goals |
| |
| The first step, of course, is to set them. You can't get anywhere if you're not heading in that direction. Intention is essential.The second step is to achieve them. Many people do get down to setting goals, but they don't achieve them.A goal set in motion will be achieved...unless, you stop thinking and acting on them.It's that simple.For some reason people believe that the size of the goal is what makes it more possible. They also believe that they have to have the resources to achieve the goal.This “realistic” thinking, however, has nothing to do with goal achievements.The history of goal achievers shows that almost anything is possible.

| Article Title :: Give Your Dreams Substance |
| |
| Setting goals is wonderful; it confirms that we've taken those first awkward steps towards attaining what we desire in our lives. The simple fact that you've taken the time to plan out what you want to achieve puts you in a distinct class.Amazingly very few people take the time to keep a running list of goals. Sadly, even fewer people actually work their goals. So take the time right now to give yourself a little pat on the back! You deserve it.You're part of the elite group of people who have chosen to take an active role in their own success. If the whole idea of goal setting (and goal achieving) is a new one to you, don't worry; the important thing is that you've decided (read full article) |
