Happy 2009!

My family and I had a wonderful holiday enjoying time with friends and family. We spent 5 days visiting one of my sisters (I have 4!) in California, enjoying the great weather, and a bit of Disney magic. Here's a picture of my son at Laguna Beach. He loved having the water “chase him”.

Back in December I invited you to join me for a 2-hour teleclass on making 2009 YOUR Best Year Ever. I previously offered this course three years ago for $79, but this year it is my holiday gift to you.

Yesterday was the first of the two noon classes. It was extremely well attended (even someone from France joined us) and those on the call left armed with tools and exercises to not just set powerful, inspiring goals, but to actually really get them achieved. At the end of the call my co-host and colleague, Tammy Cook, and I shared information about our upcoming group coaching program. You can learn more about it at www.BestYearEverCoaching.com or join us for the 7 PM CST sessions beginning on Tuesday, January 27th where you'll hear more, receive a limited special offer AND extra bonus! Intrigued....get registered now.

The very best to you in 2009!

“There is fierce resolution in the heart of the man who sees golden towers beyond the hill. No matter the obstacles, his image propels him.” ~ Fabienne Frederickson

“Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.” ~ Vincent Van Gogh

“Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.” ~ Foster C. Mcclellan

Ready, set, goal
10 steps to getting what you want

Hopefully you took the time to read last month's article and answer the questions for a thorough review of your 2008 goals. If not, check out So, What's Next.. Now, it's eady, set, goal! Here are 10 steps to getting what YOU want:

1. Choose a goal. Specifically ask yourself, what is it that I want? Write it down. Be bold and assign a deadline.

2. What will make attaining this easier? If you want to start exercising, try signing up for a new gym membership. If you want to retool for your career, look into registering for a training course.

3. What's my motivation? What is it about your goal that motivates you? If you're seeking a new job, is your motivation a higher salary? A more challenging position?

4. Obstacles and solutions. Write out your obstacles that hinder your goal and possible solutions that can help you overcome these obstacles. For example, if you want to lose weight, you could write: obstacle - I nibble; solution - keep chips out of the house.

5. What's my roadmap to success? Create a plan. Do you want to clean closets? First, get rid of unused stuff. Figure out what organizers you need to help you achieve your goal, then make the time to do it.

6. My moral support. List all the people you can rely on. Is there a friend who will go for walks with you at those times when you really want pie? A relative who works in the industry you're trying to get into who can mentor you?

7. Visualize. Imagine yourself achieving your goal. Picture the new home, the organized desk, yourself crossing the finish line of that 5k race.

8. My slogan. Think positive. Use affirmations and a progressive approach such as "I can do this," "I am strong and successful" or "I won't quit no matter what."

9. The carrot. Develop a plan for rewarding yourself. A new outfit for when you lose your next 10 pounds? A new house cleaner after getting that new job you're working for?

10. Keep it posted. Hang your goals and plans on your bathroom mirror or wherever you'll see it.
