The Power of Accountability

Do you want to take your life to the next level? Do you feel like you can't get out of the hole you're in? Are you tired of setting goals, only to watch them go un-achieved each year?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions realize you are not alone! In fact, you are part of the majority. A recent study showed that 98% of people who make a New Years Resolution quit within the first month. Everyone wants change and growth in their lives, but few accomplish it.

What we have done to combat this epidemic is we have created a system that gets people where they truly want to be. We have put together the How-To's and we have someone that walks you through the process. We don't just focus on one element of your life we focus on your world as a whole!When looking to improve yourself many questions arise, and they usually cause us to quit before we ever get started.

Read the following questions and see if this dialogue has ever played out in your mind.

If you want to LOSE WEIGHT or INCREASE YOUR ENERGY...
What training routine should I be doing?
What vitamins and supplements should I buy?
Where is the cheapest place to buy Supplements and vitamins?
What foods should I be eating?
How do I track my progress?
And the list goes on!

If you want to boost your BUSINESS...
How to I increase my leads?
How do I set up a Business Plan?
How do I get repeat business?
How do I market?
How do I establish a Web presence?
And the list goes on!

If you want to boost your FINANCES...
How do I invest wisely?
What risks should (n't) I take?
How do I budget for my business and at home?
How to I create a surplus?
How do I invest in Real Estate?
And the list goes on!

If you want to improve your FAMILY LIFE...
How can I connect with my spouse better?
How do I spend more Quality time with the kids?
How can I take vacations and save money?
How can I get my family to grow themselves?
And the list goes on!

If you want to increase your KNOWLEDGE or EDUCATION...
What books should I read?
What school should I attend?
What classes can I take to grow myself?
What things can I do on a daily basis to increase my mental clarity and sharpness?

All of us have asked these questions. And because we didn't know the answers we quit or chose not to take action. These questions can be looked at in two ways; they are either the Problem or the Solution. If you don't have answers to them they are the problem. But if you can answer them (and put those answers into consistent motion) they have now become the solution!!

A car has 6 cylinders. Each fire at different points in time, which allows your car to move forward. If your car is only running on 1 or 2 cylinders your engine won't last long. It will burn out! Our lives work the same as a car engine. We operate on these 6 cylinders: Spiritual, Family, Business, Financial, Body, and Mind. If any of these cylinders aren't firing you will burn out! For most of us, we have already burned out.

Just like a knowledgeable mechanic our coach's are trained to give your world a massive tune-up. It doesn't happen overnight. But the results are amazing!!If you want to take your life to the next level, or if you just want find out more information,post me or call us at 800-990-2473 Ext. 199 .

Are you aiming at nothing and hitting It with amazing accuracy?

Most people never set a goal, and magically, they reach that goal. I was very fortunate to have a mentor growing up who showed me the importance of setting goals. Stanford did a study back in the early 80's. What they did was they interviewed the graduating class of '81 to see how many people had set goals and how many didn't. 20 years later they followed up with the class and were astonished at the results. 2% of the people who graduated had set goals, and get this... the 2% was worth more than the other 98% combined!!!

The power of focus (which is also a great book, this was a semi-reference) is so incredible when it is used. Bob Proctor, Anthony Robbins, Jack Canfield, and the list goes on and on, all talk about the power of setting goals. And most importantly focusing on those goals. Have you ever sat down and imagined already having everything you have ever dreamed of? I mean really gone there in your mind. It is a complete trip!! Scientists have studied and found that your mind can't tell the difference between real experience and mental experience. This is probably why our dreams (sleeping dreams) seem soooo real.

If you haven't seen the movie The Secret I highly recommend it. It lays out a detailed explanation of how the power of goals and the sub-conscious mind work. If you would like to discuss things on a more personal level feel free to post, call, or check out my website at http://www.ilivebydesign.com .

Best regards,

P.S. - Go set some goals!!!

Living by Chance??

I feel that it's very important to title my first Blog, "Are you living by Chance?" because I feel so many of us are just living without purpose and direction. Have you ever wondered what your calling is? Ever wondered if you have a higher purpose? Ever felt like you were living for someone else? Or that you have spun your wheels for the last decade and moved backwards? I have recently gone through a major life change and realized that these questions were haunting me. I knew I had to do something about it. For the last ten years I was living out someone else's plan, someone else's dreams. I finally understood that I wanted to live for myself, and start planning out my dreams, and actually make progress towards them (imagine that.... progress). In asking these questions and searching for the answers I came to this conclusion... I am not alone. The mass majority of society doesn't know what they really want. And a more astonishing fact, most people die without finding their passion and never fulfill their own dreams.

Why would so many people go through life without ever finding their purpose? Why would so many work so hard to end up in a place that was incomplete and unfulfilled? The answer is simple. People never planned. And those that had a glimpse of what they wanted in life got "Caught Up''. The true reason why so many are unhappy in life is that they are working soooo hard for things that don't really matter.

For the last 5 years I have been studying those who are excited to be alive because they know where they are going, and more importantly they know how to get there. That is the formula for a truly successful life. Having a plan, with a road map, and a navigator to help you create your passion in life. If you are feeling the same way that I was please post and let me know how I can help you create your meaning/ passion in life.
