How to Achieve Your Personal Goals

If you want to know how to achieve your personal goals in life, but you feel overwhelmed about knowing where to start, know this: Reaching goals in life can be achieved if you have a plan. A very effective way to develop and succeed in your personal goals is to engage a life coach. A life coach can assist with goal setting. Your coach can keep you on track by breaking each goal down to the nitty-gritty and by enforcing accountability. In the meantime, in order to achieve your personal goals:


Want it - In order to reach personal goals in life, you have to first really and truly, have a desire to attain it. Without the "want", there is very little incentive to achieve your personal goals. Personal life goals have to be something you want before you can set out to realize them.


Name it - Writing down your goals in as specific a manner as possible is very important, because, if you can't name it, you can't do it. Goal setting simply cannot occur without actually writing down goals to attain in a very specific manner. "I want to lose weight" is not a specific goal. However, "I want to lose 50 pounds" is very specific and it makes it easier to follow the next step.


Identify the steps - Once you have a, named and specific, personal goal set your next step is to identify the steps toward achieving your personal goals. Reaching goals in life requires taking very specific steps every day toward your stated goal. Again, this must be specific. "I will eat right" is not specific enough. Instead, state exactly what and how much you will eat each day. State exactly what and how much you will exercise each day. List in writing each step you need to take, in very specific terms.


Commit to it - To achieve goals, even ones that you write down, you have to make a commitment to it. When you write your goals down in black and white, including the steps you plan to take to reach them, you increase your chance for success. Make it a contract to yourself by dating it and signing it. When you sign off on the steps you commit to take to reach your goals know that you are making a promise to yourself to do what is on the contract.


Visualize success - There are plenty of scientific studies out there that prove that simply visualizing doing something right can increase your skill level. This is true for sports, and any type of skill you're trying to develop. Therefore, if you visualize yourself following the steps in your plan to achieve your personal goals, you'll be more likely to be successful. Make daily visualization of success a habit.


Review regularly - Periodically assess your progress and review whether your steps are accurate and realistic measures to take to reach your goals. If you need to adjust your contract, that is perfectly normal and acceptable. Just write the contract again and sign it again when you make adjustments. However, don't let yourself off the hook by making your goals and plans too easy. Set your goals high enough so that you are challenged. In fact, your goal should be set high enough that if you realize an 80 percent success rate, you can consider this achieved.


Be accountable - Find someone to whom you can be accountable and share the contract with them. You can pay a life coach, or you can ask a trusted friend to assist you. You must find someone who is willing to call you out if you're making excuses. Life coaching is an excellent way to get help with achieving life goals if you don't know anyone to help you properly.

Twitter Account

I've finally joined the 2010's generation and set up a Twitter account.

I expect to be tweeting about new programs joining the directory, programs ending, and developments in online marketing.

If you want to 'follow' my tweets I'm at @AffiliateGeorge on Twitter.

This is a learning experience for me so don't expect great things straight away.

I'll most likely follow anyone who follows me so if you want followers let me know.

I received this letter.

"Hi George,

My name’s Karen and I’m contacting you with regards to the UK2.Net affiliate program on Tradedoubler. I wanted to get in touch to see if I can do anything to help you generate more commissions, as I can see you are currently generating clicks but no sales.

I would be pleased to hear about any ways that we can increase exposure on your website - for example, is it possible to trial one of our banners on your homepage? Or perhaps you have a newsletter/blog where you could feature some of our latest web hosting offers? We have two new voucher codes which you may wish to promote:

Code: FEBRESELLER
Offer: £20 OFF Reseller packages
Valid from: 1st February 2011
Valid to: 10th March 2011

Code: FEBHOST5
Offer: 5% OFF webhosting
Valid from: 1st February 2011
Valid to: 10th March 2011

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you require any further information about our services, our latest offers, or our affiliate program.


Thanks for your time, I look forward to hearing from you!


Kind regards

Karen"

Since Karen asked nicely I thought I'd blog the codes for UK2's offers. I know I haven't blogged much recently but that's not cause I've been lazy; it's because I've been busy.

I was without a phone for 19 days over Christmas and the New year and now have a new phone provider and ISP. That didn't help.

I've been thinking maybe the site is overdue for a re-design but this time I was thinking of something major.

How would people feel if the site stopped being a directory and became a wiki? Let me know.


George

Removal of Support for Programs of the Big Business Society 35

This week 35 Chief Executives and Chairman of some the laergest companies in the UK issued a statement in the form of a letter to the Daily Telegraph supporting the British Government's plans to institute widespread cuts in public services and state benefits.

See http://boycottbigbusinesssociety.blogspot.com/2010/10/offending-letter.html for details.

Given that such cuts will hurt their customers and ultimately their shareholders I have to assume that the motivations behind this action are party political rather than business-focussed and can no longer support the businesses of these individuals.

It is hard to see how business can continue to grow and develop when customers have no money to purchase goods and services.

The signatories to the letter are listed below and a number of their businesses, such as Mothercare and Carphone Warehouse run affiliate programs which have been supported by Global Affiliate Programs for many years. I have not yet identified all the brands of these companies; those I have identified will be removed over the next few days and others will be removed as their ownership becomes apparent.

Will Adderley, CEO, Dunelm Group
Robert Bensoussan, Chairman, L.K. Bennett
Andy Bond, Chairman, Asda
Ian Cheshire, Chief Executive, Kingfisher
Gerald Corbett, Chairman, SSL International, moneysupermarket.com, Britvic

Sir Christopher Gent, Non-Executive Chairman, GlaxoSmithKline
Ben Gordon, Chief Executive, Mothercare

Simon Wolfson, Chief Executive, Next

The action of the 35 super-rich business people has also been criticised by the Federation of Small Businesses, who are clearly more in touch with their customers than the super-rich are. See this report.

The spending cuts supported by these people have been attacked by senior economists.

David Blanchflower, a former member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, said of the letter: "It's a terrible, terrible mistake. The sensible thing to do is to spread [the cuts] over a long time. Clearly you have to deal with the deficit, but there is no economics that says you have to deal with it in a week or a month."

Big business seems to think it can dictate public policy to the rest of us. It has to be told it cannot.
