GOALS A GO GO!



Hi Everyone!

So, what were you doing 77days ago?

I know, funny question but there is a point, you see, today is day 76 of 2009 which means that 77 days ago you were celebrating New Year’s Eve and, like most people, you were setting up your New Year’s Resolutions and goals.

And look, here we are at day 76 already!

Time goes by quickly, doesn't it?

I’m not just asking you this to be some kind of timekeeper or clockwatcher, rather I wanted to share with you something that I’ve been thinking about a lot this week.

You see, it recently dawned on me that we’re already approaching the end of the first quarter of 2009 and that many of the goals I’d set for myself this year haven’t even been started. In truth, many of them haven’t even been thought about.

It’s not like they’re not important to me. They are, many of them would REALLY change my life for the better if I could bring them to life but, well, I just haven't got around to them.

I bet you’re the same, right?

I bet you have a huge list of things that you KNOW would absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt change your life for the better, yet you haven’t taken a single, solitary action on them, right?

Weird, isn’t it?

For instance in my own life I know that these goals are important to me:-

1. To have a holiday this year because Simon and I haven't had a holiday in 5 years and we REALLY deserve one!

2. To make my business a success because then we have a better chance of having that holiday!

3. To be a comfortable size 12/14 so I'll look good on that beach!

4. To train hard and regularly so I can inspire (hopefully) my clients to do the same.

5. To get rid of my overdraft - no explanation needed!

Most likely you’ve got a list like this too, haven’t you?

For example, what financial goals did you set for yourself on New Year’s Eve?

What about your health goals? I KNOW you had some of those!

How about adventures? We all want to travel more and experience more and I bet you had set some goals in this department, right?

Not to mention relationships, education, family and career goals.

I bet you had a whole load of them, yet where are you with them? That’s not a rhetorical question, I mean it. Where are you with these goals?

Did you achieve them as you said you would?

More to the point, did you even START them?

I know that I didn’t even BEGIN many of the goals I set at the start of the year. I know they’re important to me, I know they’ll change my life in more positive ways than I can even begin to tell you but for some strange reason, I haven’t even begun to chase them yet.

Like I said, weird......

So look, I have this MAD idea!

I want to help you achieve YOUR goals over the course of this year and I want you to keep ME on track. Does that sound like a fair deal?

It starts today.

Tell me what your most important, most pressing goals are and I’ll tell you mine and (hopefully) together we can see 2009 through in great style.

Of course, you could simply ignore this and pass it off as silly but, well, that’ll just mean that the next 76 days are just like the first, and the ones after that, and the ones after that.

I need help to bring my goals to life.

So do you.

So let’s do this!

I got my idea for this email from my friend Dax Moy (you may remember him as the Evil Genius from my MIM Challenge), Author of The MAGIC Hundred.

I’m glad he kicked my butt today :o)

Until next time......

BE YOUR BEST!
