Goals
Just in time to reenergize yourself and your team for the 4th quarter push to reach 2011 goals is the NEW Movie Goals! It is the perfect tool to provide the goal achieving information you need in a straight forward and systematic manner. The author of Goals, Gary Ryan Blair, is considered one of the nation's experts on the topic of goals.
Setting and achieving goals seems to be a consistent theme at the beginning of a new year. One key to reaching those goals is continued motivation. The book and movie, 212, The Extra Degree, is an excellent resource to inspire and encourage yourself and others to commit to and attain those goals. Take a few minutes to discover the difference when you give and go “The Extra Degree.”

Unless you choose - with certainty - what it is you want, you accept table scraps by default! The world is plump with opportunity. With boldness and conviction, stick a fork into the goals you want by being decisive. You are born with great capabilities, but you will not achieve your potential until you call upon yourself to fulfill it. You will rise to the occasion when it presents itself; yet, to assure self-fulfillment, you must provide occasions to rise to. Clearly defined goals allow you to travel toward another horizon that represents the end of one experience and the transition to a new and better existence. The objective is to choose the right goals, and then to create the necessary causes - the effects will follow! The difference between what one person and another achieves depends more on goal choices than on abilities. The profound differences between successful people and others are the goals they choose to pursue. Individuals with smaller talents, intelligence, and abilities will achieve different results because they select and pursue different goals. Each decision affects what you become. We form our decisions and our decisions form us. There is no escaping this; the smallest choices are important because - over time - their cumulative effect is enormous. Never overlook the obvious: The nature and direction of your life change the instant you decide what goals you want to pursue. Once you make a decision, you start down a path to a new destination. At the moment the decision is made, your decision to pursue a goal alters what you are becoming. Just one spin of the lock's dial - a single choice - can alter your life, your destiny, your legacy. Think about it - your goal decisions represent and express your individuality. You seal your fate with the choices you make. You define yourself by your decisions. Your dialogue with success is ultimately a solo one. Decisions and goals made must be your own if you are to call your life a success. Always establish the best goals you can. Goals are the seeds of success - you become only what you plant. The quality of your harvest is a direct reflection of the quality of your seeds-your decisions! Indecision is the big eraser of opportunity and potential. Risks and costs accompany every decision; however, the price of decision is far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction. When it comes to decisiveness, squatters have no rights. Everyone has an official wish list of things they think are "reasonable". What about the unofficial wish list? The one that common sense tells you to ignore? The list that exists deep in your mind, the list that keeps you up at night, that makes your toes wiggle when you think of it? Why not choose that list for a change? How long have you dreamed of being, having, and doing what you really want? Think big, as when it comes to your goals, the size of your ambition does matter. Happy New Year 2011! How did you do on achieving last year's resolutions? Want to know the difference between those who accomplished their resolutions and those who didn't?
Constantly thinking about your goals...That's what The Strangest Secret is all about.
For all of us there are turning points in our lives. One of mine was the first time I heard The Strangest Secret in 1964. It was then, and still is, the most powerful and thought provoking message I've ever heard. In many ways it changed my life.
Earl Nightingale's radio recording that he called The Strangest Secret electrified his listeners all over the country. The stations that carried his syndicated show were deluged with requests for copies of it.
As a result, the audio version of Nightingale's message was recorded, and sold over 1 million copies. In fact, Earl Nightingale's recording of The Strangest Secret was the first non-music record to exceed the one million mark!

What's the #1 key to success? Most would say—having DEFINED GOALS. But, did you know that: Every decision you make affects what you become? Welcoming failure is crucial to how well you succeed? Your commitment is more important than your skill, ability or intelligence? Goals: The 10 Rules for Achieving Success is one of the most important books that we've ever published at Simple Truths. It has the answers you need to help you clearly define...and achieve your goals. And, without goals, your dreams have no chance to become a reality.
Author Gary Ryan Blair is one of the nation's top authors on the topic of goals. For the last 20 years, his 14 books and training materials on goals have been used by more than 80,000 organizations and 4,000.000 employees world-wide.
Today, I'd like to share Gary's introduction to Goals. Enjoy! An excerpt from On everyone's short list of things to do during their lifetime are the accomplishment of worthy goals and the fulfillment of one's purpose.
Achieving a goal is like opening a combination lock. You need the correct numbers in the correct right, left, right sequence. There are thousands of possible combinations; and if you are aware of the settings but not the sequence, your efforts will be futile.
The Ten Rules of Goal Setting is the combination that opens the lock of success. Each rule is one piece of the combination; each seamlessly integrates with the other nine; each one counts!
The book provides the goal setting information you need in a straightforward and systematic manner. You will be hard pressed to find a goal that does not require each of these ten rules.
Not all goals are equal, but all goals contain the same foundational elements.
When it comes to setting goals, we often don't know what we don't know.
And, what you don't know can—and most likely will—hurt you by limiting or compromising your success.
Each rule calls for and requires know-how of multiple disciplines. No one is born with all the talents to achieve a goal—you learn as you on the fly!
Everyone needs to know how to set and achieve a goal. Everyone needs an awareness of proportion and a keen sense of the possible. Everyone needs the will to pursue his or her dreams and to know what it takes to taste victory.
If I could carve ten rules for achieving a goal into the walls of your mind, they would be the ones contained in this book. The ten rules work because they are simple and they are simple because they work.
The potential for personal growth and personal expression—as well as for mind-boggling personal wealth—makes this a time of opportunity...a time to create the kind of life that previous generations could not imagine. That is why goal setting is important.
Success is individual. Your definition of "the good life" may be very different from others'. Yet the underlying steps toward that end are the same. That similarity helps you to understand what success really is.
Success is the ability, first, to recognize opportunity: second, to form plans and strategies that leverage opportunity; and third, to develop the necessary skills needed to executive those strategies.
The ten rules, like anything else in life, operate best if they are self-enforced!
Success is beautiful because of how it looks to you, how it works, how it feels, and how it represents the fulfillment of goals pursued. Grow accustomed to prosperity and confident in the process of achieving a goal. Embrace these ten rules of goal setting and give witness to a powerful transition in your life.

We are kept from our goal not by obstacles but by a clear path to a lesser goal. ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com
When I was a Boy Scout, we played a game when new Scouts joined the troop. We lined up chairs in a pattern, creating an obstacle course through which the new Scouts, blindfolded, were supposed to maneuver. The Scoutmaster gave them a few moments to study the pattern before our adventure began. But as soon as the victims were blindfolded, the rest of us quietly removed the chairs. I think life is like this game. Perhaps we spend our lives avoiding obstacles we have created for ourselves and in reality exist only in our minds. We're afraid to apply for that job, take violin lessons, learn a foreign language, call an old friend, write our Congressman - whatever it is that we would really like to do but don't because of personal obstacles. Don't avoid any chairs until you run smack into one. And if you do, at least you'll have a place to sit down. ~Pierce Vincent Eckhart

None of our men are "experts." We have most unfortunately found it necessary to get rid of a man as soon as he thinks himself an expert because no one ever considers himself expert if he really knows his job. A man who knows a job sees so much more to be done than he has done, that he is always pressing forward and never gives up an instant of thought to how good and how efficient he is. Thinking always ahead, thinking always of trying to do more, brings a state of mind in which nothing is impossible. The moment one gets into the "expert" state of mind a great number of things become impossible. ~Henry Ford, Sr.
There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all. ~Peter Drucker
We are too busy mopping the floor to turn off the faucet. ~Author Unknown

You must have long-range goals to keep you from being frustrated by short-range failures. ~Charles C. Noble
Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the goal. ~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it. ~Elbert Hubbard
We're still not where we're going, but we're not where we were. ~Natash Jasefowitz
Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another. ~John Dewey
The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible - and achieve it, generation after generation. ~Pearl S. Buck
As long as I have a want, I have a reason for living. Satisfaction is death. ~George Bernard Shaw
If you aim at nothing, you'll hit it every time. ~Author Unknown
Vision without action is a daydream. Action with without vision is a nightmare. ~Japanese Proverb
When the horse is dead, get off. ~Author Unknown
This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anyone could have. ~Author Unknown
If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it; every arrow that flies feels the attraction of earth. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
One may miss the mark by aiming too high as too low. ~Thomas Fuller
When people say to me: "How do you do so many things?" I often answer them, without meaning to be cruel: "How do you do so little?" It seems to me that people have vast potential. Most people can do extraordinary things if they have the confidence or take the risks. Yet most people don't. They sit in front of the telly and treat life as if it goes on forever. ~Philip Adams
Establishing goals is all right if you don't let them deprive you of interesting detours. ~Doug Larson
