Every test in life makes us bitter or better, every problem comes to break us or make us. The choice is ours whether we become Victim or Victor. - Tammy S. Ernst       Tammy Ernst sounds like she trained at the same martial arts school as me. This quote from Tammy is very similar to the "mantra" we stated at the beginning and end of each class in our dojo. Shiken haramitsu daikoumyo This sacred Buddhist mantra in Japanese is taught and used by all members of the Bujinkan Dojo. The meaning as explained by my Sensei when I started training was: "In every encounter or experience...

Tanner Gers I met Tanner online in one of the Facebook groups I frequent. Tanner, like me, is a motivational speaker and podcaster. I heard Tanner's story on several podcasts and I was impressed and inspired by Tanner's ability to overcome the obstacles put in front of him. After hearing Tanner's story, I wanted to interview him for Goal Getting Podcast so you could hear him, learn from him and understand that we don't have to let obstacles keep us from achieving our goals.

S3Q2 - Springing to Success This Year show art S3Q2 - Springing to Success This Year

Goal Getting™ Podcast

Spring is the time to find out where you are, who you are, and move toward where you are going. Spring is my favorite time of the year. We are just coming out of a cold, dreary, time in our life. That is unless you live in a tropical climate. Then spring may be just a little warmer than it was yesterday, weather wise. But I often think of spring as when we need to reflect back on where we are, who we are and where we want to be. That's why this quote hits home with me. Many do this reflection at the the beginning of the calendar year. In December and January, we start working on our goals for...

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.   Quote by President Calvin Coolidge   Hi Goal Getters, I've done a couple of my last speeches at my Toastmasters clubs about Persistence. I was backup speaker at Cable Car Toastmasters one morning and our Grammarian, Mike Kress, selected the word Persistence for our Word of the Day. That...

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.   ~~ Abraham Lincoln     Turn New Year's Resolutions into New Year's Realizations   It's the end of the year and like millions of people in the United States and other countries and possibly even on other planets you are probably thinking about making your usual New Year's Resolutions.

Marriage and Goals take commitment. For either to succeed you must have commitment

Are You Afraid of Commitment?

Marriage and Goal Getting require commitment. Commitment to the success of each. Without a commitment to the successful outcome of both, they are each likely to fail.

When you get married or take out a loan, you are making a promise to do something. In marriage, you, typically, make a promise to Love, Honor and Cherish the one you are marrying, until death do you part. When you take out a loan, you are making a promise to pay the amount borrowed back, usually with interest on a specified date. You, typically, make an agreement to pay back a certain amount over a certain period of time on specific dates until you have paid the lender back completely.

When you start a goal, you should make the same type of commitment.  The commitment to do the actions necessary to complete the goal you have set on a specific date.  Like I said in the show, you should set up your Action Plan and create a Measurement worksheet.

You can get your free copy of the Goal Getting Action Plan by clicking below:

Goal Getting Worksheet - Goal Getting Podcast

You can get your free copy of the Goal Getting Goal Measurement Worksheet by clicking below:

Goal Getter Goal Measurement Worksheet

After you have created your plan and your measurement sheet, you should create a Goal Promissory Note to enter in an agreement, a commitment with yourself.  This is one that I've used before:

Personal Goal Promissory Note A Commitment with myself

Accountability Partners & MasterMinds

Napoleon Hill believed and wrote in Think and Grow Rich that the two most important things in creating success were:

1. Being part of a Mastermind group

2. Creating Clearly Defined, Written Goals.

He counted being part of a Mastermind group as them most important. Two or more people of like mind, coming together to support one another and help each other grow and prosper.

Find an accountability partner, or Mastermind group to keep you motivated and alert. They will keep you heading towards your goals.

Beware of "Ampires"

Do not hang around negative people that can suck the life out of your goals and dreams.  These people are energy suckers! They suck the life out of all of your ideals and goals.  Avoid them as much as possible.

Hang around all of the people that want you to succeed.
