Poof! Just like that, 3 months gone!

It’s the end of March and one quarter of the year is gone.

Which means it’s a good time to do a review of the last 3 months.

So how are you doing, generally, and with your life?

Have you achieved what you wanted to? Why? Why not? (you want to repeat things that are working)

Do you need more support in terms of accountability or coaching?

Do you know what you want but just not how to get there, or is the vision fuzzy too? :)

This is a pic of the River Liffey that runs through Dublin, Ireland – pic taken in May 2008. Visiting Ireland was one of my life goals :)

Do this one thing and you’re halfway to your goals

You think I’m exaggerating, don’t you?

I’m not!

Before I explain more about the ONE THING, let me give you 3 quick goal-setting success stories:

1. Yvette

Yvette, an admin consultant, approached me at the end of last year and started chatting about her goals. I suggested my how to set and achieve goals e-book which she bought and started working through.

At the end of February this year, I ran into her and she was SO EXCITED because she’d already achieved her TWO major goals – buying a house and getting her driver’s licence.

Yvette did the ONE thing.

2. Glen

Glen is a personal trainer (a life coach for bodies ;) ) who set a couple of goals to improve his body stats.

A few months later, he sent me his before and after stats AND pictures. He’d reached every single goal!

He also told me what his physical goal for this year is, and I have absolutely NO DOUBT he’ll achieve it because he did the ONE thing.

3. Fiona

Fiona is a very busy work-at-home mom who set a goal in August  (see, you can set goals anytime) to make herself over – lose some weight and be a better, more put-together her.

At the end of November, she sent me an email, absolutely excited because she’d just about achieved her goals. She also did the ONE thing.

So what is the ONE thing?

They all wrote down their goals and kept them in clear view each and every day.

Yvette, Glen and Fiona did a goals review every single week and tracked their progress.

Just writing down your goals takes you halfway there.

There is a connection that happens in the brain when we put pen to paper and actually write down our goals.

If you also want to achieve your goals this year, download your 2010 goals form and write them down today.

How are you doing on your 2010 goals? Share in the comments.

    I totally agree. I am a huge proponent of writing things down, keeping them in front of you, carrying them around if you have to. It’s amazing how much more real things are if you put it in print.

      Absolutely, there is a connection that happens between the brain and your hand (I have no scientific experience but I’ve seen it with myself, clients over the years, other people) that writing down your goals just solidifies.

  2. Hi Marcia! It’s funny that you mention this… I was just thinking that it’s hard to believe that three months are already gone. One of my goals was to take my family on vacation… we did it all paid for by me! :) It felt so good to be able to do that! Goals really are so important! Hope you are well and the babies are growing!

      Yayyy, Megan! I love it when people reach their goals :)

      The babies are well and thriving – busy as anything. They don’t stay still for a minute!
