Goal Setting for 09
Welcome back!
After posting about goal setting vs resolutions I decided to post my actual goal setting formula that I use to set goals and how I achieve them successfully.
This goal setting formula is a 7 step formula that I have used for years.
1.Decide exactly what you want.
- Decide what you REALLY want. For example I wanna lose weight but I didn’t just put I want to lose weight. I wrote “I weight 190″. Or for money I wrote I want to make 5k a month not just ” I wanna make more money”
2.Write down your GOALS!!.
- If you don’t write your goals down they are just a dream and you won’t have anything to reference how you’re doing with the goals.
3.Set a deadline for GOALS and sub deadlines for bigger GOALS.
- Put a timeline with the goals that you have set. Having a deadline will let you see youre progress with that certain goal.
4.Make a list of things you have to do to achieve the goal.
- Write down what you need to do to achieve the goal. For example I said I want to weight 190. So I would have to lose 20 pounds. I would write down a list of what I need to do to lose the weight.
5.Organize the list into a plan.
- Now with the list you just created organize it to an action steps plan so you achieve it.
6. TAKE ACTION!!!!! MOST IMPORTANT!!!
- What good is setting goals if you don’t do anything. If you want to lose weight or make more money but all you did was set goals and not take action nothing will happen. This is the most crucial step. Some people think that just because they set goals the law of attraction will bring it to them. But it won’t, you have to take action.
7.Do something every single day that moves you closer to your goal
- For now till 2010 do something to help you with that goal everyday and I promise you, you will achieve it. If your goal if to lose weight then do something each day to help you with that goal. Don’t get discouraged and stick with it. Doing even a little bit at a time will accumulate.
New Years Goals Vs Resolutions
Do you set new years goals or resolutions?? Well are they the same you ask? To be personally they are quite different.
The new year is coming and with that comes the hope of having a better year then the last year. Like many people I used to set my new years resolutions before the new year would come. They would be like lose weight, make more money, etc…. Then when the year would be up I would look at the resolutions that I made almost a year ago and to my disappointment see that I only accomplished a few of them.
Fast forward to another year when I stumbled upon something that showed me the reason resolutions don’t work. Resolutions don’t work for most people because they have been setting new years resolutions year in and year out and don’t accomplish them. So they go through the cycle every single year and at the years end wonder why they never achieved them.
Now with new years goals I personally have had better results. I feel that with goals I am able to set an actual game plan for what I need to do to achieve them. And also with goals I set them every single month and look over my yearly goal to see where I stand with that goal.
Maybe it’s just a personal preference with my choosing to write new years goals vs resolutions because with resolutions I feel like I was just spinning my wheels year after year having the same resolution and not achieving it. But with goals I write them and have had better luck achieving them.

Blogging for money Tip Tuesdays – Different blog post
Here’s a blogging for money weekly Tuesday tip. Come here every Tuesday for I will give you a tip every Tuesday on how to help improve your blog with traffic, monetization etc….
What types of blog post do you put on your blog? Do you just post your own articles? Do you link to things you find in other blogs? Maybe even a guest post from another person. Perhaps a review of a website or product.
What ever you pick there a hundreds of different blog post that you can make on your blog.
Here’s a list I found on Problogger.net that shows you in full detail 20 types of blog post. I’m sure there are a lot more out there now but these 20 types are real good especially for the beginning blogger.
You gotta be hungry!!!
It’s been awhile since I last posted. With the holidays I have been very busy but that’s no excuse so I apologize. I WILL keep this blog updated because I have gotten a lot of good things that you guys will love to see.
I was on youtube the other day and stumbled upon Les Brown. Those of you who don’t know Les Brown, he is a very strong inspirational speaker. I saw this video that talks about being hungry (not food wise) but being hungry that you will do what ever it takes to get the job done. He talks about staying up late and waking up early. Really good video.
Les Brown is definitely on my top list of motivational speakers.
Happy Thanksgiving to ALL!!!
I just wanted to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving day. Thanksgiving is about giving thanks for what we have. I know with everything that’s going on in people’s lives we tend to forget the things we already have. So starting today give thanks for what you ALREADY have even if it isn’t much. If you sit down for five to ten minutes you would be amazed at how many things you already have that you have been taking for granted.
Give thanks for your friends, family, loved ones etc… Again focus on what you already have, GIVE GRATITUDE..
So when you’re enjoying your great feast tonite with people tell them how much you appreciate them, you’d be amazed what a simple thanks can do for people.
And with the amazing power of the law of attraction what you give out through positive energy comes back to you ten fold. So express gratitude for what you have now and the things you’ve wanted will come to your life.
PS I want to give thanks to my readers and the people who have supported me with my journey of blogging
The Secret Money
The secret money is a video that I watch occasionally with the other secret affirmations video that I have posted. As you can tell I’m a big believer in affirmations. I suggest you watch this video or my other videos daily when you wake up and before you go to bed and watch all the positivity flow into your live. I’ve found that the best way to apply this technique of affirmations is to truly feel as if that is you. Feel that you are generating all the abundance in your life. Remember that good feeling as the law of attraction will attract in your life what you give out into the world. Have another great day

But in case you’ve been hiding out away from your email
recently… Vince Tan just launched his history making
Biggest Firesale, which is now live for a VERY short time.

Why is this history making you wonder?
Well, Vince has spent the better part of one year to
convince over 100 top marketers to put their best selling
products in his Firesale, for you.
From what I’ve heard, he did pretty much everything he
could to secure these products for you — including
bribing, begging, pleading, twisting arms, and just
about anything you can imagine.
And I have to tell you that the end result is AMAZING.

up for a steal (and I do mean STEAL).
There’s no way for me to do this offer the justice it
deserves — at the very least you need to see for
yourself what Vince pulled off for you:

I’ve gotten a copy already. There’s fast action bonus
that’s worth $700 which you will not want to miss!
Dieting Vs Marketing
If you failed in any diet like the rice diet or the fat smash diet chances are you also failed with your new online marketing efforts. Dieting and online marketing are very similar in that they are both easy to achieve success and failure.
How do you succeed in Dieting? It’s easy, you eat smaller meals everyday of quality protein, fruits, veggies, fibers and fats. You exercise at least 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week. Simple right? But why is obesity at its highest rate ever? It’s not the lack of information but the lack of discipline. There’s millions of dieting plans out there like “lose weight in 2 weeks” or the rice diet sure most work but it’s just the lack of discipline that people have to follow the diet. Many times people will workout really hard in the first two weeks then they stop when they don’t see results. It’s easy to do those everyday things but it’s also easy not to do them. Losing weight doesn’t happen overnight, it takes time. It’s the discipline of doing the small right things to lose weight over and over again everyday that adds up to you getting to where you want to get in dieting. But if you regularly eat bad or not exercise it will add you. You might not see it that day or week but the sum of what you did will add up months ahead.
Now how do you succeed in your online marketing efforts? You may have a new online marketing plan that you found that promises to help you generate traffic but if you didn’t stick to it daily chances are you failed with that online marketing product. How do you generate traffic to your website, by doing a series of things to generate constant flow of traffic to your site. You must commit to doing it everyday. You may not see results the first week or the first few months but if you stick with it you are bound to get a constant flow of traffic.
In closing, the way to succeed is to always start with the end in mind. For example, if you wanted to generate 10,000 visitors a month, you would start with that as your goal and work your way backwards. That way you can get a clear picture of what you need to do to accomplish that goal. You can break down exactly what it is you need to accomplish on a daily basis to attain it. Whether you are dieting or marketing online always make sure what you are doing at that very moment is for your goal and not against it.
Are you using Twitter??
Have you been using twitter for you online marketing efforts?? If not you need to get on it. Twitter.com is a mini blog site that allows you to update your status on the web and also on your phone. If used correctly you can generate some traffic to your blog or website. What ever you do, don’t become the twitter spammer that just keeps saying something like “check out my blog at www.blahblahblah” for their every status. Be a real person do a couple updates from your day and throw in some “quotes” then use your “money” tweet. I was just at a conference call last week and they came up with using the ratio of 6:1 meaning 6 updates or quotes to 1 money or promo tweet.
If you are on twitter make sure to follow me at http://www.twitter.com/yveslanot
In the next couple days I will be posting up some more twitter tips and apps to use to help with you online marketing.
