In this article, I am going to share some helpful ideas to help you turn your hopes, wishes, and dreams into your future reality.
Goals and buildings have several characteristics that are very similar. If a building is engineered properly, and built with structural integrity; when the storms blow, the building stands; when the earth shakes, the building stands. If a building lacks that structural integrity, the storms force is likely to reduce it to rubble. Your goals are the same way.
If your goals are engineered with the proper dynamics in place; when adversity strikes, your goals will stay clear; when the unexpected happens; you will adapt and move closer to your objective and Read More...
The Law of Attraction is the closest thing to magic I’ve ever seen. The Law of Attraction basically states that every result and situation you have in your Life, you have attracted with your thoughts.
It’s been expressed many ways over the millennia, from the book of Proverbs (as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he) to Earl Nightingale’s The Strangest Secret (you become what you think about) to Jack Canfield, James Ray and even Oprah this year.

I want to give you a couple of powerful ideas on how to give your new goals some momentum.
Here are the simple steps I take every year to really get some power behind my goals.
1. Set my goals in all areas of my life: professional, financial, mental, physical, family, and social.
2. Look for an overarching theme. This is usually something that links many of the goals together.
3. Pick an appropriate symbol for the theme.
For example, in 2006 I had the Year of the summit, because climbing the mountain was a physical goal as well as metaphorical goal of hitting team goals, sales goals, etc. In 2005, I had the Year of the House, which was the year that I invested in Read More...
We just found a super cool (and free) website/service that increases your accountability to your goals and commitments by allowing you to put a “contract” on yourself.
The website is www.stickK.com and it is free to use.
You make a “Commitment Contract” with yourself and set the stakes as to what happens when you miss a check-in or your goal.
The Commitment Contract concept is based on two well known principles of behavioral economics:
1. People don’t always do what they claim they want to do, and
2. Incentives get people to do things
Here is how it works:

Why wait for your manager to cook up contests, rewards and incentives? Keep your business fresh and exciting by creating your own fun and games.
If you are like me, you take great pride in being paid on commission and wouldn’t have it any other way. But sometimes, the regular commission plan is not enough to keep the old fire of desire red hot and ready.
Just as your muscles adapt to your regular training routine and need changing stimuli to keep up the training effect. The human psyche also adapts. So juice up your work with a little extra challenge.
Set up a short term contest for yourself. Just as some companies might offer a cash spiff or dinner and a show for hitting a sales quota, you Read More...
