What can transform a monotonous task into inspired service? A mundane job into a passionate career? What separates the man who is laying brick from the one building a cathedral? Purpose. Purpose which is the reason for which something is done or created. Purpose can also differentiate a quota from a goal. You’ve probably heard the 5 points of an effective goal. It must be:

1. Meaningful to You
2. The Right Size
3. Specific and Measurable with a Due Date

Scheduling New Year’s Resolutions into Your Life

With 2009 right around the corner, many of you are starting to set resolutions or goals for the New Year. You probably have a long list of things you want to accomplish. Perhaps getting to the gym three times a week, taking a two week vacation, setting and sticking to a weekly budget, learn a new hobby, cooking and eating healthier each night for dinner, but you might be thinking to yourself, “Do I really have the time to make these resolutions a reality?”

We all know people, who seem to do everything, but how do they fit it in with work, family and other commitments? Did this just happen? Are they lucky? No, they are intentional with their long term planning.

Got Resolutions? Want them to Come True?


Control Your Finances - Got Resolutions? >


New Year’s is a unique holiday. It’s the only holiday that celebrates the passage of time.  Perhaps that’s why, as the final seconds of the year tick away, we tend to become introspective. Then we wonder: how did time get away from us? And why did all our hopes and dreams never materialized?

Inevitably, that introspection turns to thoughts of self-improvement and the annual ritual of making Resolutions.

We all do it. We swear to ourselves, “This is THE year” for transforming our lives and Read More...

How to Be Relentless

My Tony Robbins Coach shared this with me and I thought you would enjoy it…

Here’s a simple Yes or No question to consider:

Does your behavior demonstrate a relentless determination?

Your answer reveals a great deal about your future success.

Being relentless is a commitment and intention that stands in the face of obstacles, hardships, temptations, financial difficulties, failing physical health, and broken relationships.

By choosing to be relentless, you are demonstrating no abatement of severity, intensity, strength, or pace, nor Read More...

Simple Exercise to Get into the Habit of Hitting Your Goals

Filed under: Goal Setting — Tags: , , , , , — Tom Weber @ 6:00 am

Everyone has habits. We have good habits and we have bad habits. You might not even classify some of your actions as habits, but keep this in mind: Anything that you think, say, or do more than once is becoming a habit. It is impossible to QUIT a habit. A habit must be REPLACED.

So, how do we replace a habit?  Most research today says that it takes 21 days to form a habit and 21 days to change or break a habit. This is why most people fail at changing a habit; it takes a consistent, mindful and sustained conscious effort.  Forming a habit is not 21 days over the course of a month; it is 21 days in a row. This causes us to go outside of our comfort zone for 3 weeks straight, and most of us do not Read More...

The Habit of Hitting Goals

Filed under: Goal Setting — Tags: , , , , , — Freedom Personal Development @ 6:57 am

David DenisFor many people, goal setting is just an exercise in futility. We know we should do it, but it just never seems to work. We set goals, but never really achieve them. We try again, only to fail again.

Eventually, it becomes easier just to skip the whole exercise – after all, if I don’t set a goal, then I don’t have to feel bad when I don’t hit it, right?

The problem here is not with the concept of goal setting. The problem is that most of us never get the chance to experience the power of GOAL HITTING. This happens because of a few Read More...
