Happy Holidays!
 There is no doubt in my mind. The year 2010 will be an incredible year for anyone who wishes it so.
The recent shift in energies leading up to 2012 (which will NOT be the catastrophic event Hollywood depicts) will allow you to make the changes and the huge strides in your life that you have longed for. This is going to be a very different kind of year, the first of a trio which get better and better. The only thing you have to do is commit. C'mon, yes you can. 2010 is just the beginning, hop on board now so you won't regret it later.
Personally, the year is going to take off like a rocket as I have some HUGE goals for this year! And only one year in which to get them all done! The least of which is the publication of my first book in the spring, the launching of my live speaking engagements arm of the business and more writing, audio and video projects. Keep watch for all the surprises.
As this is the traditional time of the year for reflection and planning, what's on your agenda? My article under "To Your Goal Progress" below is loaded with some of my secrets from my brand new goal setting and achieving method to help you go for the Golden Goal in this Olympic year!

My rocket is rumbling to life on the launching pad and I can't wait for lift off to the most eventful and successful year ever for my coaching business!

BOOK UPDATE: The manuscript is done and in the hands of my writing coach! She and I have a date on January 6th for a consultation and I'm nervous! Will she like it? What changes will she suggest? Do I have to make it longer? Shorter? Who should do the cover design? What kind of binding? And most of all, the steps to get it published. I’ve discovered that the writing is only half the job!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 WEBSITE UPDATE: Progress is being made! The home page now has my WELCOME VIDEO! I'm much more comfortable writing than I am talking to a camera and this is one of my first attempts and it will do for now, but I have interesting plans for a new one after I have improved with practice! Check it out.
TO YOUR GOAL PROCESS
"How to Successfully Establish a New Year's Goal"
It’s the first week of January in a brand new year. Tradition says it's time to set some goals. You sigh deeply, ho hum, put your chin in your hands and grind the brain into action to think of something you want but won't be too difficult to get, or something you ought to do, but don't want to, or you get very pie in the sky and impulsively reach for a goal in another galaxy. Sound familiar?
What’s wrong with this? Well, several things.
- Consciously establishing goals is not a once a year activity. That's like going to the gym once a year and expecting to be fit.
- Trying to cheat the system by aiming for the floor instead of the ceiling only makes you feel cheated.
- One thing that will never work in your favor is 'should-ing' on yourself. Don't listen to what other people say you ‘should’ do either, this is your life and your target.
- Aiming for the stars is wonderful! But start with ones within sight, not those hiding behind Pluto (the ‘former’ planet, not the dog).
Notice I've been saying 'a' goal, not a list of goals. How do you feel when you are faced with the dreaded 'list'? Uh-huh. Me too. "How am I ever going to get all this done?" "Rats, I have so much to do." "Oh brother, where do I start?" are just some of the phrases that come to mind. This is the solution:
Determine just one goal. Whew, are you relieved?
How do you do that? There are a couple of ways.
First, have you ever thought of letting the goal come to you? Now that's novel. If you practice meditation or are able to just sit quietly and find yourself easily daydreaming you can set the intention of a goal coming to you, then put that thought aside and meditate or daydream. I find staring at a candle flame helps me. If a thought comes zinging in and tap dances on your cerebrum, it is meant to be your goal even if your first reaction is, 'No way!' Let it perk for a few days and you may feel quite differently.
If all that happens is you have a lovely quiet time, but no tap dancing, try this. Have a pen and paper ready; set a timer for ten minutes. You must write for the entire ten minutes without stopping and not lifting the pen off the paper. The subject you are writing about is, "My ideal life looks like..."The reason you can't stop or lift the pen is because you will start thinking. Your writing needs to come straight out of your subconscious mind and thus the uninterrupted flow is necessary. Guaranteed, there will be several fertile goal seeds in what you have written, things you have secretly been longing for.
You can also hire a coach, all successful entrepreneurs, business climbers and companies use coaches. They are not just for sports anymore. A coach can coach your goals out of you. Things you never even knew were in there! Even just one session with a coach can turn your life around. Invest In Yourself
Now that you have your target firmly in place, you say to yourself, "If I am to make this happen, what is the first thing I need to do?" You do know what that is, don't kid yourself. Now do it. Those three little words are the most important of all the words on this page. If all you do is think about it, nothing happens. And this is where most people fail in accomplishing goals. They don't act. You're going to be different, you will go into action.
When that is done, you ask yourself, "What is the next thing I need to do?" And you do it. Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat until you hit the bull's eye in your target.
If you get stuck with a 'how' or a brain traffic jam, its back to hiring that coach. It's no shame to ask for help, you don't have to do this all alone.
So you can see the reasoning behind just one goal. You are going to be much more successful if you focus entirely on one target. An archer doesn't aim at more than one. I'd hate to think of the result of William Tell aiming at more than one apple on his son’s head. Ouch!
With practice you will find yourself following one successful achievement after another, and don’t wait for another year to pass before you do!
Make it a goal!

RECOMMENDED READING
Books are some of my closest friends. Even in my RV one overhead storage cupboard is dedicated to my library. Below are some classics and some newbies that I'm sure will become classics:
NEW! 'Man's Search For Meaning' Viktor Frankl. Written in 1945, it is the story of Dr. Viktor Frankl's years of unspeakable horror in Nazi prison camps and how he, as a psychiatrist, not only survived but went on to develop the most significant psychological movement of the modern day.
'The E Myth Revisited' Michael Gerber. Anyone in a business or contemplating beginning a business would do themselves an honour if they read this book. Subtitled: "Why most small businesses don't work and what to do about it"
'A Whole New Mind' Daniel Park. Exciting and entertaining. Taking a peek at where we are going after the Information Age'.
'The Alchemist' Paulo Coelho'. An oldie but goodie modern classic worth a re-read often. Written as a fable, it teaches us the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts and following our dreams.
'The Moses Code' James Twyman. Book and DVD. Another outstanding publication from Hay House. This book and DVD had a profound impact on me!
'The Last Lecture' Randy Pausch. The legacy left by one man with an incredible soul to his wife, children and the entire world. Magnificent!
'The Pillars of the Earth' A superb piece of fiction by Ken Follett
Three Cups of Tea' Greg Mortenson & David Oliver Relin. "Thrilling proof that one ordinary person, with the right combination of character and determination really can change the world" - Tom Brokaw
'You Can Heal Your Life' DVD and book by Louise Hay
'The Secret' DVD and book by Rhonda Byrne
'Eat, Pray, Love' Elizabeth Gilbert'
'Five Wishes' Gay Hendricks
'The Four Agreements' Don Miguel Ruiz
'Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus' Dr. John Gray
