Goal Setting - Are you in the 3% Who Succeed?

 We are now into week 3 of the year 2011.  How many people do you think have given up on their New Year's resolutions and goals?  Are you in the 80% of people who have failured to carry through their 'improved health', or  improved 'wealth' plans, change of job and other resolutions that have now fallen to the wayside.


We see this time and time again each new year comes, people want to stop smoking,lose weight, change jobs, these are some of the top resolutions and 9 times out of 10 always are never seen to fruition.  How could you guarantee achieving your goals or resolutions?  If this could be bottled, someone would be very rich out there.


Goal setting is a way to ensure you achieve your new year's resolutions.  Behind each goal there has to be a reason.  It is important that this reason is one which keeps you focussed and on track at all times.  You need to be clear about the reason why you are achieving the goal in the first place.

Here is a short video I put together on goal setting which details all the steps you need to take to ensure success:



Secondly, mindset is key to achieving any goal which is set.  Here's some  great books that will help you with your goal setting from Amazon:The Magic Lamp: Goal Setting for People Who Hate Setting Goals, Goal Setting 101 : How to Set and Achieve a Goal!, A Guide To Goal Setting And Success In Life (Self Help Series)

 Putting your goals into action will help you achieve them,but remember to keep your focus and your reason why you are working towards your goals in the first place.  You may want to make yourself accountable, by telling friends and family of your goals will help you to keep focussed.

Keep Focused and be in the 1%....

Benefits of Using a Pedometer

Hi People,just a short blogpost on the benefits of a pedometer to help your weightloss regime, or indeed to improve your performance overall.  You must have all heard that ideally to keep active we need to complete over 10,000 steps per day which works out to about 3 miles (sorry guys not sure what the km distance is).  Having a pedometer can help you achieve this goal as it counts each step you take.

The benefits of this is it encourages exercise, you will also benefit from weightloss if you are walking to performing your10,000 steps per day.  More exercise in your routine will improve your chances of not suffering from high blood pressure or strokes or other weight related illnesses.

Keep track, set goals

By setting yourself goals and monitoring those on a daily basis, either electronically or manually in a diary is key to successful weight loss or improved health.

A pedometer  can catch small increases in activity, as you go about your daily chores, you would be surprised the amount of walking you can do at home, walking up stairs at least a dozen times or more for the day. Lets face it research has shown that  many people who increase activity while wearing pedometers seem to do so through these small bits of walking that would probably escape anyone’s attention. But a pedometer records them.
