And you don't need to be a 'failure' or having a bad life to want to do this. This process is a continual journey because as you reach and achieve goals you reset them. Therefore rather than seeing this as a burden look at it as a lifestyle change.
Chapter 7 is a milestone because it now means I'm or we (for those along for the daily journey) are more than 10% through the book - Yay! And it just keeps getting interesting and this is from a person (me) that has been doing this kind of thing for decades!
Chapter 7 is Unleash the Power of Goal-Setting - and I agree this is nothing new however Jack Canfield does talk about the list of things you need to do such as (and I'm quoting directly from the book):
- Make a list of goals you want to accomplish
- Make sure they're measurable
- Have goals for every aspect of your life vision
- Have a breakthrough goal - carry it with you daily
- List 101 goals you want to achieve before you die
To be in the top 1% of achievers:
- Write specific action steps on your daily to-do list
- MAKE SURE YOU TAKE THOSE ACTIONS
Phew - feeling daunted or motivated?
However, what he also shares are the top 3 things that emerge that stops people from achieving their goals. That I found interesting both personally and as a business mentor.
