Goals and Aspirations

30 day Goal Setting Challenge -- Day 10 already!

On July 21st I issued a Goal Setting Challenge

The Challenge: set a goal that you will achieve or be well on the way to achieving within a month.

And we are now a third of the way through... and time we evaluated our progress!

The goal I set: to have my e-book completely finished and up and running online by 21st of August!
My progress: I have completed 3 of 4 elements I wanted to finish by this stage.  I still have quite a lot to do but I can see the steady progress.

Many people e-mailed me about their goals... and several have joined in the challenge on my FaceBook group "Achieving Your Goals and Aspirations"...

So...
    How is your end of the challenge going?
    Did you set a goal?
    If you did set a goal... how are you going with it?

Perseverance -- Inspirational Video To Encourage You!

An essential ingredient to successfully achieve any goal you set is to have a huge amount of Perseverance. 

Without Perseverance not much would ever have been achieved!

This short video illustrates the necessity of Perseverance by showing you several extremely well-known personalities and celebrities who all persevered in their quest to achieve their goals.

Often people set a goal, have a couple of miss-hits and setbacks to achieve their goal... and then begin  thinking and believing they will never be successful because they can't achieve what they've set out to. 

All too often they believe they have tried absolutely everything... and nothing has worked.

The reality is however... they have only tried what they know to try... and most times they haven't done enough before throwing in the towel and abandoning their goals.

Remember: every successful person has had many miss-hits, setbacks, and failed in their attempts to achieve their goals.

So, if you have a goal you are having trouble achieving right now... take a look at this video and be inspired!

And let me know if you need support and guidance to persevere with your goals... click on the comment link and leave your thoughts!  It's always great hearing from you.

Goal Setting Challenge -- are you up for it??

This year I've been creating e-courses and e-books focusing on achieving goals.... putting on paper (ok, virtual paper) the techniques, strategies and steps for achieving goals I've learnt and used professionally and personally that work for any person with any goal.

Last night as I was working on my new e-book on Goal Setting I had this wild idea of putting out a challenge to everyone...

The Challenge: set one goal you will either achieve or be well on your way to achieving within the next month. 

Today is 21st of July... what goal are you going to set that you will have achieved, or on your way to achieving, by 21st of August?

My goal: by August 21 my e-book (can't tell you the name yet... it's a secret) will be completely finished and readily available online. 

My intention for issuing this challenge is to provide information about the essential elements of setting goals so you actually will achieve your goals. 

When you participate in this challenge, you will have the opportunity to get support and discuss any questions, problems or difficulties you may have with your goal.

So... are you going to take up my challenge??  I really hope you do!

Click on the comment link below and let us know what your goal is.  Remember... you don't have to completely achieve your goal within the month!  But participating in the challenge you have taken a huge step to successfully achieve your goal!  What have you got to lose????

Is One of Your Goals To Write a Book?

Writing a book is a common goal for many people... and if it is one of your goals, this will be appropriate.

Over the last couple of weeks I've been writing a new e-book... my goal is to have it finished by the end of July. 

Even though this is my 3rd book, I've always floundered with putting it all together... in other words, what bit goes where in a logical order. 

I'm not talking about the actual writing of the book, because that's a whole different topic.  What I'm talking about is after you have written it and you're at the stage where you're putting it all together in a way which looks professional and looks like a real book you would find in any bookstore.

A few months ago I came across an extremely useful, an extremely affordable, e-book which shows you how to put your book together.  It shows you what goes where... and takes the guesswork out of everything which suits me down to the ground in a huge way!

The book is very appropriately called "Recipe for Quick and Easy Product Creation"... and one of the advantages of this book is that it will give you the wording to use for different pages so you can copy and paste onto your own book and alter to suit your needs.

I've used this book a couple of times and I'm in the process of using it right now.  This prompted me to let you know about it as well.

Not only is the book easy to use... it gives you templates to follow for each section e.g. disclaimer, copyright information and so on, and gives you so many tips that are truly invaluable.

So... is writing a book 1 of your goals?  Click on the comment link below and let me know if it is... I'd love to hear all about it!

Dancing Brings the World Closer

A little bit of dancing to get us going on a Monday morning!

This zippy video demonstrates how the world is getting smaller... a guy called Matt came up with the idea and it is so refreshing.  This 4-minute video took 14 months to make and involved a cast of thousands from 42 different countries... and it is such a great concept!

Take a look for yourself... I hope it makes you smile as it did me!

Goal Setting -- but what about achieving goals??

We all set goals... we all have goals we would like to achieve.

Some goals are related to the work we do, our financial situation, our health and fitness, our relationships, where we live... or related to our happiness.

Having a goal you want to achieve is important to everyone -- having goals gives us purpose and direction in our life.

But what is the one thing, the major thing, that prevents you from achieving your goal?

If you have set goals in the past and not achieved them... what has got in your way? 

I would be really interested to know from you, what is your biggest hurdle, obstacle or problem to achieving your goals?

Please click on the comment link below and let me know "What prevents you from achieving the goals you set?"

Your response to the question would be greatly appreciated and it will provide valuable information for the next program I'm developing...

The question again: "What prevents you from achieving the goals you set?"

leave your answer on the comment link below or you can always e-mail me... it would be great to hear from you.

Inspiration from Jim Rohn and U2

I was looking for a little inspiration to share with you this morning and came across this wonderful video.

The words are from Jim Rohn and they are powerful in their simplicity.  The music is equally powerful from U2... one of my favourite groups!

One of the videos message is sometimes you can't do it on your own... and how true is that!

There are lots more messages with lots of wisdom in this video... and heaps of inspiration and motivation!

The link to the video is:
