"Got Goals? Here's a System to Achieve Them" ISSUE #122
November, 2009
Note from Marian
Boston was a great trip. The weather cooperated and we were able to do a lot of sightseeing. New England seafood is always great.
One of the highlights was going to visit the U.S.S. Constitution (Old Ironsides), which is the nation's oldest commissioned ship (July 22, 1798).
It's now a museum and worth the wait to go on board and learn about life on the high seas in the late 18th century.
With 2010 just around the corner it's time to start making decisions and setting your plans. Before you do, join us for the Brain Exchange Roundtable, scheduled for Wednesday, November 18th, 6 - 8 p.m., where our topic will be "How to Reap Juicy Profits in 2010". We'll be covering the principles of profit and showing you how to improve your bottom line.
And if you're concerned about how you're going to reach the goals you're setting for yourself and your business read the feature article, "Got Goals! Here's a System to Achieve Them". You'll learn how the system works and why it works.
Plus, all this month, you can get my secret weapon for goal achievement at a discount. This tool helps you stay on track toward your goals on a weekly basis. It's called the Goal Tracking Worksheet, and you can download it now with complete instructions on how to use it. It's a steal at $37, but use code GTW10 and it's yours for $27 till the end of the month. My clients swear by it.
This year, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving on November 26th. It's probably my favorite holiday because I'm always reminded to be thankful for the many blessings I have. Thank you for being an important part of my life.
To your success!

Got Goals? Here's a System to Achieve Them
By Marian Banker
Which of the following scenarios describes you?
* You have specific, defined goals for next year. You've quantified and are prepared to carry out a written plan of action.
* You have mental goals that you think are going to take you in the direction you want to go, but you have not been taking consistent action toward.
* You know you should set goals and be working toward them, but you're not really clear about what you want to accomplish or even what's realistic.
If either of the last two describes you, I predict you could be in for disappointment come the end of next year. What I've learned in coaching business owners is that goal achievement is something everyone knows about and wants, but frequently are at a loss Brain Exchangeabout how to attain. Goal setting and achievement is a process with a beginning and end point with specific interim steps in between.
The game of football offers a good analogy; always seeking the end goal, but setting and achieving short term yardage goals that eventually add up
to a touchdown.
