You might be tempted to set goals which you know you can easily achieve. By all means you should set out to achieve these things but don't call them goals. If you're going after something that you can easily achieve where's the challenge? You're really laying out your plans.
A goal, something that is truly worthy of you, will stretch you and cause you to grow in ways you may have never imagined. It is what you become as a result of pursuing your goal that is of importance more so than the goal itself.
This is why some people don't feel the sense of satisfaction that they thought they might experience as a result of achieving their goal. They were either so caught up in the pursuit of the goal that they missed the process and their own transformation or else the goal they set wasn't a worthy goal. It was something that they already knew how to achieve. All they had to do was put into play a known sequence of action steps. Where's the challenge in that?
You might be thinking why would you set a goal that you had no idea how you were going to achieve it? The Universe operates by laws and when you learn how to lead your life and pursue your goals working in harmony with the laws then all things are possible.
You see the laws that govern the Universe also govern you. Consider the following extract from "The Dore Lectures on Mental Science" by Thomas Troward:
"My mind is a centre of Divine operation. The Divine operation is always for expansion and fuller expression and this means the production of something beyond what has gone before, something entirely new, not included in past experience, though proceeding out of it by an orderly sequence of growth.
"Therefore, since the Divine cannot change its inherent nature, it must operate in the same manner in me. Consequently, in my special world, of which I am the centre, it will move forward to produce new conditions, always in advance of any that have gone before."
Now can you begin to see why you should be setting goals that are outside your current experience rather than simply setting targets for things which you already know how to accomplish? If you are not setting challenging goals you will not experience growth and we know the Law of Polarity that anything that is not growing is by default dying.
Let's look at a practical example of this type of goal setting. When Wilbur and Orville Wright invented the "flying machine" which we now call an airplane none existed. So they had no experience in this field. How could they? What's more they were bicycle mechanics.
Their relatives thought they were mad and even had them committed. They experienced several setbacks but they kept encouraging each other because they believed that what they were striving to achieve could be done.
However, the knowledge of how to fly has always been here and because the Wright brothers were relentless in the pursuit of their dream they achieved it.
So, when setting a goal, don't worry about how you are going to achieve your goal. Be concerned about ensuring that the goal you set is worthy of you and is something you are truly committed to achieving. Now although you may not know how you're going to accomplish your overall goal there will be something that you can do to get started in the right direction.
And no matter how small that something is you must take action. It may be that there is someone who has already achieved what you are striving to achieve. You may not even know them but you can still seek their advice directly or indirectly to help you achieve your goal and achieve in record time.
"The most important thing you can do to achieve your goals is to make sure that as soon as you set them, you immediately begin to create momentum. The most important rules that I ever adopted to help me in achieving my goals were those I learned from a very successful man who taught me to first write down the goal, and then to never leave the site of setting a goal without first taking some form of positive action toward its attainment." Anthony Robbins

Jim Carrey's Latest movie "Yes Man" is now on general release and while I haven't seen the movie or read the book on which it is based I find the concept behind it intriguing. "Yes Man" is based on the book by the British comedian and TV personality Danny Wallace who spent a year of his life saying "yes" to every opportunity presented to him.
It certainly is risky saying "yes" to everything yet many people, like the character Jim Carrey plays in the movie, Carl Allen, practice saying "no" to life. This happens in particular when we aim to set goals for ourselves and when we find ourselves confronted with challenges. I'm sure that you've experienced this. You want to achieve something significant in your life but you find yourself coming up with all kinds of excuses as to why you can't succeed at what you want to achieve.
One of my mentors, Bob Proctor, found himself in such a position when he was maturing as a young man. At age 26 he was working at a Fire Department in Toronto. He was unhappy, unhealthy and broke. You see, at the time he earned $4,000 per annum but he owed $6,000 so, as he put it, he would have to work for 18 months and commit 100% of his salary to clear his debt but that of course was unrealistic.
Yet this job was the best he'd ever had. He had just two months High School and no business experience. He was brought up to believe that if you don't have experience you can't win and if you don't have an education you can't win. Fortunately, he had a mentor who said to him:
"There're the reasons why you can't. Have you ever stopped to think of the reasons why you can?"
There may be something that you'd like to achieve that you lack experience in. Will you let this stop you or will you find a way to overcome this hurdle. Even if you decide to pursue your goal there will be many more hurdles that you will have to overcome. Will you let them keep you from achieving your goal or will you raise your game and find a way to clear each and every hurdle that you encounter?
The more you practice facing up to your fears the more easily you will be able to brush your fears aside the next time they show up. And fear will stare you in the face. Everyone experiences fear but it your attitude to fear that will determine how successful you are in life.
"Many of our fears are tissue-paper-thin, and a single courageous step would carry us clear through them." Brendan Francis
Many people are experiencing a tough time as a result of the economic crisis. However, within every challenge that an individual is currently facing is an opportunity. Do you have the courage and the clarity of mind to look past the challenge to see the opportunity? Do you know that the bigger the problem the bigger the opportunity? Hugh Miller said,
"Problems are only opportunities with thorns on them."
If you were given a glorious rose that had thorns on it you would no doubt still be captivated by the beauty of the rose, the velvety smoothness of its petals and its delightful scent. You would carefully clip away the thorns or wear protective gloves to handle it.
So will you allow yourself to be weighed down by your challenges or will you seize the opportunities that present themselves with a resounding "Yes!"?
First he had a book that no one wanted to publish and now publishers were scrambling over themselves in their desire to publish "A Christmas Box". Richard knew when he was in over his head and sought out an agent and not just any agent. He chose one of the best in the business, someone who is simply passionate about what she does. Her long line of credits included Robert James Waller's "Bridges Over Madison County".
It was decided to auction the book and the auction started with 16 publishers trying to outbid each other. After the first round only one publisher couldn't take the heat and dropped out of the bidding war which Disney was leading with an offer of $2.75 million dollars.
Suddenly there was an advantage to having received all those endless rejections from publishers. He knew every one of the publishing houses now bidding to publish his book. This knowledge would help him to make his decision once the auction had run its course. It was a bizarre twist of fate.
In the end Bantam Press & Simon & Schuster were the front runners both had bids on the table that were in excess of $4 million dollars. Richard decided to go with Simon and Schuster – much to Bantam's disappointment. He was given an advance of $2 million dollars and the hardcover version of the book was released by Simon and Schuster in 1995.
"A Christmas Box" went on to be the first book to simultaneously reach the coveted No. 1 position on the New York Times bestseller lists for both the hardcover and softcover versions. The book was also turned into a movie of the same name starring Richard Thomas and Maureen O'Hara.
But this isn't the true triumph of this book. Richard Paul Evans came from an under-privileged background. Both he and his wife were anxious that his family's new-found wealth didn't spoil them. He wanted to use his success and wealth to make an even greater difference in people's lives.
So in 1997 he founded "The Christmas Box House International" - a non-profit organization that is devoted to building shelters and providing services for abused and neglected children. To date, more than 16,000 children have been housed in Christmas Box House facilities and it has made a profound difference to their lives as the video above the post reveals.
Isn't it a funny thing that when you write a book from purely unselfish motives that money, fame and fortune seem to follow? True Richard worked extremely hard to promote his book but it the success of the intial word of mouth publicity that convinced Richard to publish the book in the first place. And you get the feeling that if money had been the primary motivation behind the book that it would not have enjoyed the success it did.
Richard Paul Evans has sold over 8 million copies of "A Christmas Box" and has gone on to write 11 consecutive New York Times bestselling books. He has 14 books in print and has sold over 14 million copies. He now mentors other aspiring authors. To discover his secrets to creating and marketing bestselling books click the link below:
Richard first 'released' his book "A Christmas Box" in December of 1992 but in February of the following year people he was still receiving orders for this book. So he decided it was time to publish the book but one-by-one publishers rejected it. Frustrated, Richard decided to self-publish his book and initially printed 7,000 copies.
Now most books do not even sell 5,000 copies so this was a bold move. He finally found a local agent willing to represent his book who enthusiastically told him:
"We think you're going to be really well. We think you might sell as many as 3,000 copies."
You didn't need to be a maths genius to work out what that would imply. Richard felt a sinking feeling inside. What was he going to do with 4,000 books?
The agent had based his estimation on the sales that his best-selling local author was achieving but a few weeks later he called Richard to say,
"Rick, you're going to need more books."
"How many?"
But the agent was reluctant to say. "A Christmas Box" was performing beyond expectations but for how long it would continue to do so was difficult to tell.
Richard's intuition told him to print 20,000 more copies but he was nervous. Instead, he printed another 10,000 copies and dispatched them to the bookstore. That was on 3rd September. On the 6th September he received another call requesting more books.
"I sent another 10,000 copies. Didn't you receive them?"
They had but they were now shipping this book at a rate of 3,000 copies per day. It was unprecedented.
Richard decided that it was time to build on his local success and take his book national.
He was ill-prepared for the reception he experienced. He said he felt as though he were being mugged everyday. But he believed in his book and knew from the numerous testimonials he was receiving that this book was indeed life-changing.
So he persisted and embarked upon a relentless marketing campaign. He talked to anyone that would listen about his book and he did countless radio interviews. And, by Christmas of the next year he had a breakthrough. People's Magazine contacted him to do a feature story. Then he was contacted by the Today's Show and suddenly "A Christmas Box" took on a whole new lease of life.
Major publishers started queuing up to buy the rights to publish this book. The first was Warner Books. Their representative didn't beat around the bush. He told Richard Evans that he was authorised to offer him $2 million dollars for his book. Two million dollars - it was a lot of money. Richard turned down the offer.
Next was Disney who embellished their publishing offer with the offer of an exclusive vacation for himself and his family at Disney World.
"Will Mickey Mouse present the cheque?" asked Richard.
"If you like," was the glib reply. Richard turned down Disney's offer.
This is the end of Part 2. The final part of this series coming soon.
Richard Paul Evans had always wanted to write a book and at age 29 he decided to do it. The book was intended as an expression of love for his (then) two daughters. Once he committed himself to the writing of his book he was truly inspired. He sometimes found himself pulling off the highway so that he could capture his thoughts. It was almost as if "A Christmas Box" wrote itself.
Just completing the manuscript gave him a tremendous feeling of accomplishment although he did think to himself how great it would be to have his book actually on a bookshelf in a bookstore. However, initially this was not a predominant thought and first he needed to get some feedback.
So first he asked his wife to read his book. Keri, not wanting to be placed in a position where she just might have to play her diplomatic card tried to wriggle out from having to read her husband's first book. But he pleaded with her:
"Just read the first 3 pages."
Reluctantly, she took the manuscript and settled down to read it and she didn't stop until she had finished way past midnight. By the end there were tears streaming down Keri's face. Richard didn't know whether to be alarmed or overjoyed by her reaction.
"Rick, where did you get that story?"
He explained that he had made it up and when he pressed her to say what she actually thought of the book she said,
"It makes me want to be a better mother."
Feeling emboldened he went to Kinkos, printed 20 copies and distributed them to his family, friends and neighbours. And at that point he really felt he was done. Then he received a call from one of his brothers. He braced himself, thinking that his brother would call him on his poor punctuation, grammar or both but his brother simply said:
"Your book has changed my life."
And this was the first of many similar calls that he received from those to whom he had shared his book.
Then, about 3 weeks later he received a call from a woman who said:
"Mr Evans, I want to tell you what your book means to me."
"Who are you?" he asked.
She told him but he realised that he didn't know her and so he asked how she had come by his book. She told him who had given her a copy but he didn't know that person either. So he did some research.
He contacted everyone who he'd given a copy of his book and found out who they'd given it to and contacted them. From his research he estimated that in the 4-week period since he had first distributed the 20 copies of his book that it had been read over 160 times. He was flabbergasted but there was more to come.
Two weeks later he received a call from a book clerk at local bookstore.
"Hello Mr Evans, did you write "A Christmas Box"?"
When he replied yes the sense the relief in the clerk's voice was almost tangible. He had been diligently and systematically calling all the "R Evans" in the phone directory.
"Oh good, where do we order it?"
Richard replied,
"You can't order it. It's never been published."
You could sense that feeling of relief evaporating and being replaced by confusion and incomprehension. The clerk was quiet for a moment then he said, "but we've had 10 orders for that book this week."
When Richard elaborated on the situation the clerk replied,
Major countries across the globe are currently griped in the vices of a deepening economic crisis. Many thousands of individuals have lost their jobs and many more are likely to do so. Here in the UK, for the first time since 2001, the total number of people on unemployment benefit has surpassed 1 million.
David Blanchflower, Bank of England policymaker, has forecast that the economic crisis will deepen. He forecast that unemployment figures would exceed 2 million by Christmas and peak above 3 million in 2010.
There are therefore fewer jobs available but more people competing for those jobs. At times like this people increasingly turn to other means to make money.
The viability of the methods presented hasn't just been tested and proven by the writers of this ebook but they have also been put to the test by other individuals as well including those who could be described as Internet newbies.
The strategies for each method are clearly laid out and references are given for lots of other resources so that the reader can find out more in-depth information or simply set themselves up to follow through with their chosen method of generating extra income.
Now, from the outset, many readers will have a clear idea as to which method they want to pursue as determined by their existing skills, experience, likes and dislikes. Nonetheless, it is well worth reading this book through from beginning to end as other ideas will undoubtedly be sparked.
There are also ways in which some of the income-generating method described can actually work together. In addition, there are little nuggets of information that could be useful no matter what you are doing that you'll otherwise miss if you only read the sections that relate directly to what you think you'd like to do. Having said this, if you're not into a particular subject then some sections of this book will probably make your eyes glaze over.
This book provides an honest appraisal of what works and what doesn't. There are no exaggerated claims which can lead to false expectations. And, although each strategy is clearly outlined, there is no illusion as to the effort that will be involved to make earning $100 a day a reality.
Even with 247 pages of material it isn't possible to go into complete detail with every strategy that is presented but there really is enough information for someone with even rudimentary knowledge of the Internet to get started. What's more this book also gives advice on how individuals can work with offline companies as well which further adds to its versatility.
Overall, this ebook contains great information at a very affordable price and it's an excellent resource for anyone seeking to generate extra income.
