Want to be Sexy? Set Goals with Deadlines
Yesterday, John Chow wrote a great entry on the difference between successful and unsuccessful people. He writes that if you ask a successful person about their goals, he/she will tell you their goals and by when they will be achieved. However, when you ask an unsucessful person the same question (and they have a goal), they will say something like, “I hope to do this someday.” As John says: a goal without a time limit Is no goal.
I think this is so very true. Set a goal today with a deadline if you haven’t already. That one thing that you’ve been itching to do but have just been too lazy. For me, it’s sleeping earlier. So I am trying to sleep by 12:00AM every day of this week.
When the new year began, I wrote a post with my 3 goals for the year. I also asked you all to submit your goals in the comment section. I’ve been actively committing to my goals and that makes me feel good. :) As promised, I will be contacting you to make sure you’re all following your goals…
Oh.. and my offer to take your $20 still stands. :)

I hope it was a Mac Book Pro because if it was just a regular Mac Book I’d tell her to run for her life. ZING!

I see why you had to stop talking tonight. Quick tip, you should add an email subscription feed cause many of your young readers may not use RSS shit.

Thanks Noah, good point. I’ll look into that asap.
