I’m all for goals. But, over the years, I’ve realized not all goals are created equal. In fact, some goals don’t matter as much as others. Focus on the goals that matter—meaningful goals. That’s when you produce transformative results. What do I mean by goals that matter? They are aspirations that change your life when …
A lot of people don’t pursue their dreams. They want to be writers, dancers, actors, painters, Olympic athletes, singers, or entrepreneurs, for example. But they doubt that they can realize their dream. They don’t think they can do it. So rather than try, they don’t do anything. They don’t pursue their goal or dream. Can …
You are the average of the ten people with whom you spend the most time. That’s right. So do an accounting right now… What friends, family members, and co-workers do you hang out with every day or week? Do you want to be more like them…or less? If, for example, you aspire to become an …
Are you a “wannabe”? Or are you someone who is becoming what you wannabe? What’s the difference? One type of person stays a wannabe. The other takes action to become what they want to be. All Talk No Action I recently spoke at a writers’ conference, and the majority of attendees at the event were …

Yet very, very few of us accomplish …
Decisions. You either love or hate them. Without them, however, you never make a choice—about how to live, what to do, how to behave, or how to move forward toward your desired future. You stay stuck in place. No Decision is a Decision Many of us avoid decisions. We are afraid of the potential outcome …

Goals. Lot’s of people set them at this time of year—right before or after the New Year. But few people—only eight percent—achieve the goals they set. Call them resolutions, intentions, or commitments—it doesn’t matter, writing them down and aspiring to these new behaviors, mindsets, or habits represents a significant and positive practice. But wanting to …
You have two months to complete your goals before New Year’s Eve rolls around again. Then this year is over, finished, kaput, gone! And here’s the big question you must answer (drum roll, please…): Have you achieved last year’s goals? Remember those goals you set back in December or January last year? Like most people, …

Habits are a funny thing. In many ways, they define us—whether we like it or not. And I’m not talking exclusively about physical habits here, like smoking, drinking, spitting, or biting your nails. Although those define us, too. I’m talking about mental habits as well. How you approach the day. How you handle adversity. How …
