I have found that our positive attitudes combined with focused action on our goals have been the greatest factors in my success this past year.
Here are some thoughts to share on motivation & goal setting I wanted to pass on...
Step 1: Decide exactly what you want. This immediately moves you into a separate category of people because most people have no idea of what they really want. Clarity is the most important single quality of goal-setting and perhaps the most important single quality of success. Decide exactly what you want in each area of your life. Instead of fuzzy goals like more money, better health and happiness, be specific about exactly how much more money you want to earn in a specific period of time and combine that with exactly what level of health and fitness you desire.
Most people are unconsciously preoccupied with the fear of failure. It is the greatest single obstacle to success in adult life. And the fear of failure can work on you unconsciously by blocking you from setting clear specific goals. Why? Well, if you don't set clear, specific goals, then you can't fail to achieve them. So your subconscious mind is actually protecting you by helping you to avoid failure.
You must resist and overcome this tendency by having the courage to be bold and specific about exactly what you want. This is step number one.
There has never been a better time in all of human history to be alive than today. There are more opportunities for you to accomplish more things, in more different fields, engaging in more different activities, than have ever existed before.
Resolve today to make the coming year the very best year of your life. Resolve today to draw a line under your past and to focus very clearly on your future. Resolve today that you are going to set goals, make plans, take actions and achieve more in the coming year than perhaps you have ever accomplished in any one single year before.

I am teaching a variety of classes this month to help you achieve the focus you need to succeed. I will be teaching a “Balance Workshop” on October 2nd based on Gary Keller’s Quantum Leap class, Managing your Time To Achieve More on October 16th, and a Business Planning Workshop on October 30th. Now is the time to get clear on your goals for 2010. What you do now will determine what your January will be. Don’t delay in planning for your success.
