Book review: Greatest Salesman in the World

This self-help classic from best-selling author Og Mandino has been around since 1968, and yet a surprising number of people in this generation have not read it or even heard about ‘The Greatest Salesman in the World’ . It’s a small book with some powerful principles, written in a compelling, clear style that makes for a quick read followed by a lot of reflection.

Three Simple Secrets to Happiness

We all know that money can’t buy happiness, but many times, we act as if we will be happier if we had more money. We are conditioned to want to be rich (when we know the rich aren’t happy either); we are trained to want the latest gadget or styles in vogue; we want to earn more money because we will have the good life. But none of that will bring us happiness.

Weekly Review: Goal revitalization time

Earlier this week, I challenged you to re-strategise by thinking about your goal and trying to develop them. Step 1 of this process was to think about what you’d like people to say about you at your funeral and Step 2 was to jot down ideas for life goals you will like to achieve before you die. Step 4 was to break it down.

Book review: The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

By Leo Babauta

The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari: A Fable About Fulfilling Your Dreams & Reaching Your Destiny, by Robin Sharma, is an interesting book — as the subtitle suggests, it’s a fable, and it’s one that will certainly make you give some thought to your life, your goals, your dreams and how your daily habits help you reach those dreams.

I Heard You Need a Push

This article is a list of tips and tricks that, if used in combination, are a nearly sure way to achieve your goals. Achieving goals is not a matter of having “discipline”. It’s a matter of motivating yourself, and keeping your focus on your goal. Follow these tips, or any combination of them that works for you, and you should have the motivation and focus you need.

Relax and Celebrate Your Self

Too often we are hard on ourselves and feel bad about our lack of progress. We feel guilty that we have missed a couple of opportunities, our progress in achieving our goals are hindered or that we made a really terrible decision. But, that’s like looking at the glass as half empty, and it is almost guaranteed to hinder your progress towards your goal.

10 Habits to Develop for Financial Stability and Success

I read this article on Leo Baubata’s blog and thought it wise to share. I hope you will find it useful. Just like any goal; getting your finances stable and becoming financially successful requires the development of good financial habits. I’ve been researching this topic extensively in the last few years in my quest to eliminate debt, increase my savings and increase financial security for my family. I will talk more about these habits individually, but wanted to list them in a summary.

I Care About You

From time to time, we all get a little down or depressed. Sometimes, we feel overwhelmed or bad because we are not doing well with our goals. Feeling a little depressed can interfere with achieving our goals. We know we should be doing something, but we just don’t feel like doing anything. This can last for a long time if you don’t take them off your mind as soon as possible and take action.

Reviewing Your Goals

How often do you review your goals? Annually or Bi-annually? If so, you are definitely ahead of people who have not set theirs. Nevertheless, I recommend a more frequent review period that will seem like overkill for some people; I personally believe this is a key to maintaining focus on your goals and actually making them a reality. The key habit to actualizing your goals is to review your goals at least once a week.

What If You Re-strategise

There is never a good time to sit down and think about what you want to accomplish in life. We all have busy lives, and even when you are not busy, we often feel more like whiling away in front of the television or surfing the internet than thinking about the rest of our lives.
