Internet marketing and the mindset required

Why do so many of us start out each New Year with such good intentions, yet so few actually achieve the results we say we want.

Below is a list of top ten New Year’s resolutions I found surfing the net today.
See if you have any of these on your list for 2009.

1. Spend Time with Loves Ones
2. Get Fit
3. Lose Weight
4. Stop Smoking
5. Enjoy Life More!
6. Stop Drinking
7. Get Out of Debt
8. Learn Something New
9. Be More Charitable
10. Reorganize Life

I believe that if you really are serious about successfully implementing your new year’s resolutions, you need to address the following three items.

1. A clear definition of what the resolution actually is. (You can’t hit a target if you don’t know what you are aiming at)
2. A time frame in which the resolution is to be completed.
3. An action plan or series of steps, that needs to be taken to achieve your new year’s resolution.

So let’s take one of these resolutions and see if we can increase our odds of achieving it.

Instead of just learn something new; let’s put the following steps in place.

1. Learn to play three songs by Powderfinger (My favourite band) on the guitar.
This is a clear definition of what I am going to learn we could go even further by naming the songs: sunset, lost and running and who really cares.

2. To be completed by 24th /12/2009

3. Find a guitar teacher and enrol in weekly lessons by the 15th/01/2009.

Do you think that by putting the above in place I might have a better chance of achieving my goal, than vague resolution of learn something new??

To get a different result you have to take different actions. If you go through 2009 doing the exact same things you did in 2008, then chances are you situation isn’t going to change.

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. Albert Einstein

Most people have convinced themselves that they have some valid excuse, holding them back from achieving their dreams. Yet very few people have a clear definition of what their dreams actually are.

If you haven’t done so yet do yourself a favour and get your hands on a copy of Timothy Ferriss book the four hour work week.

As well as showing you exactly how you can free up valuable time, so that you can spend doing the things you love, Timothy also shows you his spin on goal setting called dreamlining. He has an excellent spread sheet that will help you set your own dreamlines.
