Every New Year the old chestnut of New Year resolutions comes up.



It seems that every newsletter online focuses on the subject - why to set them, why not to set them, how to set them, er, how not to set them, blah blah, yada yada.

Then a week later, those same newsletters go back to the focus of ?buy my latest product.?

I make my view known around the same time, don't get me wrong, but since the whole point of my book and newsletter is goal achievement and self improvement, I reckon I'm allowed to.

In a nutshell, I tend to say that a joking ?intending to fail? resolution is bad news, as it tells your subconscious mind all the wrong messages.

So here we are, with March 1st looming this week.

If you made any resolutions at all in the New Year, how well are they going?

Has anything changed between then and now, or are things exactly the same as they were.

If they're the same, is that what you want?

If that isn't what you want, what will you do about it the next 2 months that you *didn't* do in the last 2 months?

Basically what I'm saying, is that March 1st is a great time to set your yearly goals.

You don't get caught up in all the New Year nonsense.

You have had a chance to assess how the year has gone, and how it will carry on if you let it.

It's a much better date to decide by yourself, for yourself, what you want for the upcoming 12 months.

Then you can look back on March 1st 2008 and do another check.

When people ask you about your resolutions on Jan 1st 2008, you can tell them about your March 1st goals.

If they know anything about goal achievement, they'll smile and acknowledge your plan.

If they know nothing about goal achievement, they'll laugh at your ?silly idea.?

You'll be the one laughing loudest though, when you see how setting March 1st resolutions makes much more powerful changes in your life.

I hope you can see the logic here, I welcome your feedback as ever, and if you don't think the idea's any good, let me know what you've done goal achievement wise in the last 2 months
