A few nights ago on the tee-vee I overheard people getting
interviewed about their New Years resolutions. “I want to party
less.” “I want to lose weight.” “I want to get a life.” Blah
blah blah.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all about improvement. But how many
new years resolutions have you broken? I can think of a ton of
new years resolutions that I’ve made myself, and guess what?
I’ve kept NONE. Resolutions are essentially a wish list.
So this year, I say no more resolutions. New Year’s resolutions
are a prescription for frustration, failure, and regret. Sounds
like a crummy way to begin the new year.
Instead, let’s have Goals we’re going to Accomplish in 2009.
Goals are much more powerful than wimpy resolutions. They come
from the heart and soul. And you don’t need a once a year
holiday (or Dick Clark) to set and accomplish them.
A good goal gives you the ability to achieve something you truly
want – to accomplish your dreams – and is something you can
strive for every day. And you should.
Personally, I’ve set some goals that I look at every single day,
and as I work, I can literally feel myself moving closer to
them. If you’ve never given yourself the chance to feel that -
I highly encourage you to do so.
For a good goal, all you need is a clear mental picture of the
goal, a timeline, and a plan of action. This is why I’ve given
up on New Year’s Resolutions – and so should you.
If you’re serious about accomplishing your goals in 2009, I’ve
rolled out a number of tools to get you there faster, and rocket
launch you to the most prosperous year of your life at

Unlike wimpy resolutions, these resources can be your
prescription for success.
Wishing you success in 2009,

P.P.S. – One secret lost on most web designers is define goals
for your visitors – as in, what do YOU want them to do? I teach
this super important concept and many more in my amazing new CD
