> FEATURE: Forget New Year's resolutions

This is the time of year when most people begin falling off the bandwagon and ditching their New Year’s resolutions they were so determined to keep just two weeks ago.

Research shows that 92% of people abandon their new year’s resolutions. So, why can’t we seem to keep our resolutions?

HOW TO MAKE RESOLUTIONS THAT REALLY STICK...

Problem #1: Most resolutions are like fish out of water. In the same way a fish needs water in order to survive, a goal needs a vision in order to thrive. Most people have no vision for their lives, so their goals end up being superficial goals that don’t really light them up.

Solution: Before you even think of creating New Year’s resolutions, create a vision for your life. Your vision is your purpose for being alive. Now, here’s the deal with creating a purpose – it has to be authentic for you.

NOTE: If you create a vision to please someone else, a religion or a work obligation, it won’t get you very far. Create a vision from your heart and I promise you a life of inspiration and fulfilled goals.

My personal vision is ‘to travel the world, assisting people to realize their full potential, all the while doing the things I love with people I love.’ I make sure that every goal or resolution I create somehow fits within that vision. If it does not, I usually don’t bother.

Problem #2: Most people’s resolutions are not in line with their highest values. We all have a hierarchy of values that we live our life by. These values determine what we do and don’t do.

For example, if one of your New Year’s resolutions is to make more money, but your highest value is spending time with family, chances are that you will dedicate far more time to your family than to making money. The result? You will be unlikely to increase your wealth this year.

Solution: Link your goals to your highest values (something I learned from Dr John DeMartini from The Secret). The person in the previous example could link ‘making money’ to their highest value of ‘family time’ by setting a goal to take the family on holiday 4 times in 2008 with all the wealth they are creating.

Here’s how I did this in my life. I have always wanted to see my abs. I kept unsuccessfully setting goals related to how great I would look with abs. With the help of a good friend of mine, Jaime Kessel, I got to see that ‘looking good’ was not very high on my value list. However ‘windsurfing’ is very high on my value list.

So, I created my goal to have a body that supports me to do all the windsurfing tricks I desire. What a difference in attitude I now have when going to the gym! Instead of dragging myself out of bed to go to gym (chasing those illusive abs), I am now inspired to get to the gym to create a body that supports one of my highest values – windsurfing. Got it?

If you complete this exercise, your New Year's resoluations will stick like glue. If you really want to increase your odds of making 2008 your most powerful yet, then let me support you with my new product designed to make your goals reality. Go get ’em!

> Extraordinary people: It's never too late...

Petr, aged 69, is an extraordinary man. He has just returned from fulfilling his life long dream - to sail around the world on his yacht, 'Shoestring'.

For many years, Petr had a goal of sailing around the world. He has built three yachts in his back yard. His last yacht, 'Shoestring 3', took him 15 years to build between raising a family and running a business.

Some people thought Petr would never set sail, but in 2005, he set to sea for what would become a three year epic journey that changed his life forever.

Watch my interview with Petr as he tells of his journey and how he survived a shipwreck and miraculously repaired his boat in the middle of the Indian ocean, fulfilling his life dream of sailing around the world. He also happens to be my father. http://www.designer-life.com/blog

> NEWS:

- Leave a Legacy... Build a school with your name on it?

Well, that's just what my dear friend Matthew Brown and I are doing. It costs $25000 to build a school in Vietnam. Matthew and I are raising that amount together & plan a trip to Vietnam to see the completed school. Why not join us?

The project was inspired by ex-Microsoft Marketing Director, John Wood, who left Microsoft to follow his Designer Life. His book is fascinating and his charity has already built hundreds of schools in developing countries.

Watch a inspiring video of John Wood's journey from Microsoft to Nepal on my blog.
