Do you have trouble setting your goals and even more trouble accomplishing them? There is a well known and established method of both setting and accomplishing goals. It is often referred to by its acronym SMART. It will definitely make you feel smart once you understand it and implement in your life. It always helps if you study and use a system such as Getting Things Done. You don't have to use all of it but a system will always out perform random acts of goal setting.

I would like to thank everyone for their support and feedback in the last few weeks.  Its quite hard starting a website, and especially difficult trying to come up with useful and usable information for you all.  Hearing your suggestions has helped to shape my thoughts and ideas.

I was paricularly inspired by one email.  I hope she doesn't mind me mentioning it here.  In it she said that she felt that she hasn't accomplished much, despite raising a family...

Remember when you were a kid and your parents told you that you could do anything you set your mind to … even if you wanted to become the president of the United States?

I do!

I can almost feel the same excitement I felt when they told me. I was excited to one day play in the NBA the NFL and I’d also be an all star pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. If someone would have asked me if I truly believed that I could accomplish all those things I would have said,...

When an idea is tested, many and varied obstacles will be thrown against the faith level of the one who believes in the idea. Unbelief will challenge belief, not just once, but many times, again and again, testing the endurance level of the believer, and equally, in return, the believer testing the unseen forces of unbelief – until one or the other wearies, and finally admits defeat.

Opponents may enter the ring in the challenge of a boxing match. One is more skilled than...

As we grow and mature there are many people who come into our lives.. Parents, Teachers, Friends, Bosses and Spouses. Some inspire... Some aspire to tear you down or put a cap on your expectations.

"You can't"... "You won't..." "You never..."

It has been my experience, that even the people who loved me the most, have slowly chipped away at my self belief, though I know they had the best of intentions. If we aren't careful, we'll find...

To achieve success in life target setting is very important. But, people do not know how to set targets and how to implement. The ability to set targets and make plans for their achievement is the tremendous ability of success. It is the single-most significant ability that you can learn and perfect. Target setting will do more to help you get the things you want in life than will something else you’ve been exposed to. Becoming a specialist at target-setting and target-achieving...

Our subconscious mind is always happy to...

"Beliefs Block Your Beingness"

Lester made this statement when talking about beliefs, or as he called them, programs. What does it mean in the practical terms of achieving goals, having more money, and being happier?
