Goal Setting Articles

Over the last 4 years my family and I have travelled extensively and regularly to Southeast Asia, and Thailand in particular, to broaden our horizons whilst at the same time deepen our family bond in beautiful and inspiring surroundings. These times are always amongst my favourite times of the year, reminding me of what I work so hard for the rest of the time... to learn, explore and discover with my family. On a recent trip, I took my family to the Chiang Mai region in Nor

No matter what we do, whatever we say, or how much we don’t want to, we’re all going to die eventually. I know you probably think that this is a terrible way to start off an article, but sadly we all know it’s true. The thing is, nobody knows when they’re going to ‘go’, and I’m sure if we did we’d probably freak out anyway. Now, I’m not here to lecture you about dying, nope that’s not the problem. The problem is what are you doing while you’re still aliv

Life coaches love to use Nike’s slogan: Just Do It. But is it Just That Easy? You have decided you want to live a healthier lifestyle and make positive advances in your health so you can fully enjoy life. You joined the gym; you’ve gone a few times, so you are familiar with all the ...

It’s out of the bag. I really need to get this off my chest.They say it is wise to learn from the mistakes of others so thatyou avoid doing the same. Why do so many people committhemselves to a 40/40 life? What is a 40/40 lifestyle? This occurs when one works 40 hoursplus a week for the next 40 years plus of their lives. On thesurface nothing may seem to be wrong with this lifestyle as itwas what we were taught to do to be successful. But is thisreally true? You decide. Loo

When you have set your goals in writing its important that you evaluate each of them to ensure they empower you for SUCCESS! nnIn goal setting its important that you set yourself up for success rather than failure. We all know someone who has tried goal setting once before, not achieved their goal and assumed it doesn't work, right? A far better approach is to ensure we evaluate each of our goals from the outset. By running our goals through a quick checklist we can move forw

Achieving your goals is an accomplishment that absolutely will not happen without the focus of both mental and physical effort. In fact the whole process actually starts with establishing the proper mindset which begins with a positive mental attitude. When you first set goals to achieve a 'synchronization' of your conscious and sub-conscious thinking starts to take place. You are excited and already anticipating the benefits you expect once you achieve your goals. This menta

We are capable of achieving a lot more than we were told we are capable of achieving. By comparing what we have achieved in the past and telling ourselves that that is all we are capable of achieving in the future, we are limiting our own potential, never finding out what we are really capable of. The past does not equal the future, unless you allow it to.

Why do so many struggle with success? Perhaps the best, and somehow least obvious, answer to that question is: they have never defined success for themselves. If you don’t know what you’re looking for, how on earth are you going to find it? While studying a chapter from Wallace Wattles outstanding “The Science of Getting Rich” I stumbled upon the following excerpt: “Getting what you want is success; and success is an effect, coming from the application of a cause.

Everyone has goals, but the difference between those who have mastered goal setting and those who simply wish for their goals to come true comes down to simply how they choose to phrase their goal! But wait, I can hear you saying. How can the way a goal be phrased influence whether or not it is achieved? Let's say you have a goal to start your own business. As an example, we are going to say that you are going start a plumbing business. A typical goal may look like this: "I

What sort of people will you find goal setting?

Almost every goal you want to achieve: losing weight, earning more money, or eliminating debt, has been accomplished by many other people. In fact, the exact amount of weight you need to lose and the precise amount of income you want to earn has already been accomplished many times before. Are those people any better than you? No! They merely understood that if someone else did it, so could they. Excerpt from Think GREAT: 5 Steps to a Greater Life I remember my first night in boot camp like it was yesterday. I was afraid.

2011 is approaching fast and your ability to “sell” will dictate your success in the New Year! “Sales” is a natural part of any job. Everyone is in sales. Doctors, lawyers, athletes, politicians, filmmakers, and janitors are selling every day. They want to obtain more patients, gain more clients, sell more jerseys, lock in more votes, sell more tickets, and earn more promotions. Those who do not “sell,” have made the choice not to sell.

There is a depressing number of people who have become so caught up in the mundane trivialities of day-to-day existence, that they’ve completely lost sight of the idea of goal setting (or perhaps they never saw it to begin with.) It’s a startling idea to me that some people live their lives without thought for improving, with an aversion to change, and an absolute absorption with “the way things are.” I’ve changed so much in the last three years I almost consider my

Developing success in life is similar to growing a garden. To have a bountiful successful garden, we must fertilize, water and continually pull weeds. To be a success in life, we also need to cultivate our personal development, build strong relationships, and continually remove barriers. As a child, I enjoyed working in my small vegetable and flower garden. It was always a joy to see the first seedlings as they pierced through my freshly tilled soil after I had sown the seed

Think for a moment about a big goal or objective you accomplished in your life. Maybe it was a financial goal, a physical, emotional, or spiritual one.

WOMEN 1) A good woman is like good wine—— she gets better with age. 2) Types of women: hot stuff; foxy; hot chick. 3) Good communications is when a woman talks and a man listens. 4) Men hang; women gather. 5) Be the woman that is a breath of fresh air rather than the cloud that bring a dark day. 6) Be the woman who calms the storms, rather than the one who whips up tornados. 7) A woman who pretends to her man does not tend to herself or her man. 8) Optimist: a woman with two or more husbands.r

“So, where do you see yourself in five years?” We’ve all heard that one before. It is an existential black hole of a potentially soul-draining question. Yet it has become a staple of every job interview. And if you’re like anybody else, the answer to the question usually lies in an empty blank stare across the table while you quietly think to yourself, “Not working here!” This while simultaneously preparing for your next interview and trying to figure out how many

One of the best books anyone can read is David Schwartz’ “The Magic of Thinking Big.” David Schwartz wrote the book back in the early 1960s, but it still applies to today’s life.

As we continue the Mid Year’s Resolutions journey, I wanted to address one of the biggest goals people have – financial independence.

I met with individuals, families, and business owners to review where they currently stood and where they wanted to go.

When I was more actively involved in practice, my associate and I went to a continuing education seminar. We were so excited about applying what we learned that we talked about it during the entire 2-hour drive home. We stopped by the office. Four patients had left voice mails that they wanted to be seen. We called right then and had them come in so that we could use the new procedures. We rarely had anybody call on a weekend. To have four call on Sunday was amazing.
