I was talking via e-mail to Ali from The Office Diet who was kind enough to edit my new e-book ‘Know Yourself – Change Yourself’ the other day. She’d read the book, which I thought was a fantastic idea for an editor, and took issue with a point I made. I suggested that there are no right or wrong values, just values that are right or wrong for you. Surely, she argued, things like I’ve noticed a recent tendency for some Bloggers to drop in weekly links pages to other blogs that they read and think are worthwhile. Well, never one to miss out on some good old fashioned bandwagon jumping I have decided to dismiss originality and follow suit. I do like the idea because I know I’ve found some great self-development sites that I’d never have found otherwise and I’m always up for sharing the wealth If you read my post on goal setting the other day you’ll know that it’s a process that I believe strongly in. I believe in it, because I know it works, and I know it works because I have seen it do so time and time again with clients, and also with myself. I’m going to do something now I never thought I’d ever do in my life, and that’s quote Donald Trump. Don’t I recently wrote a review for the brilliant Steve McDermott book ‘How To Be A Complete And Utter Failure In Life, Work & Everything.’ It’s no exaggeration to say this is one of my favorite personal development books of all time. It’s not deep, it doesn’t spend 9 hours explaining why one person can work on a production line and be absolutely enthralled and another person wants to gouge his or her own eyeballs There is a chapter in my book about setting goals and I want to re-visit that topic today because although I posted it here many months ago it’s something that never losses its relevance. I have completely re-written this post because it’s so important, so no sneaking off because you’ve read the book and think you know what I’m going to say, because you don’t. The SMART system is a well-known goal setting method  We were about to take off from Tampa airport en route to Denver. As I settled into my seat and fished around for my Ipod I glanced over the aisle and noticed that the women in the center of the 3 people sat on the opposite side of the plane was not looking well, not well at all. In fact she looked a bit like Casper after he’d been for a swim in a Unsurprisingly, a lot of people come to me to help them set and achieve goals. I use my own method that I have adapted from SMART goals and an NLP system called Well Formed Outcomes and I call them SMARTER goals. Cute eh? I’m not going to talk about them per se today because you can go here if you want to know more or maybe even go crazy, buy my book (now available I have just watched a brilliant movie trailer and it prompted this quick post. Firstly, go and watch the movie here I hope you have done that. You have, haven’t you? No cheating because now I’m going to tell you why that will never work and you’re wasting your time. Yeh but it’s been hotter and much colder before in the earths history, so it’s nothing new, it’s just how it is Yeh |
