Here's something I discovered. Most of us have heard the story of the Harvard Business School Study, and many of the top speakers use that story. What I found out, however, is that, apparently, it isn't true! I have researched it and discovered various links, but here is one:<br><a href="http://rapidbi.com/management/harvard-yale-written-goals-study-fact-or-fiction/" rel="nofollow">http://rapidbi.com/management/harvard-yale-writ...</a> Would love to have your feedback! Keep up the good work with your posts! Text "CoachB" to 90210 if you want to touch base with me about this.

I find that working on a long-term goa is easier if you break it up over a period of time, into smaller mini-goals, so to speak.

Like this year, by the end of the year I want to be a full-time CEO, as you know by reading my blog, Maren.

However, to make sure I stay focused and dont get too overwhelmed, in January at the beginning of everything, I broke that goal up into 12 mini-goals, one for each month.

I am happy to say I am already DONE with August… and its only the first week of the month. It really helps to break things down.

Nice post, Maren.

You've got to switch to Verizon. The HTC Incredible is … Incredible.. plus the new droid x.. You are missing out.

That's a truly new one to me, and like so many original ideas, it's "obvious". (I mean that as a compliment - it takes a creative mind to take something in plain sight and turn it into something new and valuable.)

It really puts a fire under you and the satisfaction of completing the goal is greater too. That really does help – The sooner the deadline the better too.

I am just revisiting my goal setting strategy and I think these steps will be a great help in my plan. I have decided to focus on more of my shorter term goals to light more of a fire to get more done. Short deadlines always create the best results for me. Keep up the great work!

I see the two approaches as going hand in hand – you set your goals – then you “act” everyday towards those goals, every day you wake up working towards your goals you are very much living in the present (in my opinion).

Hope things work out alright, I know that is a tough time!
