Default Re: Several issues Dien, like supplemental vs fundamental income stream...

Gordon/Dien/Taylor -

What an excellent topic to end one year with and begin another. *g*

Dien, AFA dreaming big dreams, let me share some things with you. One of my favorite tape series is "Thinking Big" by Brian Tracy. I've listened to it many times. If you don't have it in your audio library, Nightingale-Conant has it available here: http://shop.nightingale.com/index.asp?WCI=ProductDetail&ProductIDN=14030&PD=L&WCU=341291

Anyway, Brian Tracy quotes someone during the series, (I can't remember who at the moment. I think it was Thoreau.) He says, "Are you building your castles in the air? Good! That is where they should be. Now get busy and build the foundations under them." In addition, Tracy goes into some detail about creative problem solving, goal setting, setting high/large goals, etc. But Tracy goes one better. He tells you *how* to do these things, not just the *what*. I can tell you it was through using these principles and taking the actions that were presented to me that I was able to double my income in very short period of time. And it came about in a direction that I least expected. Tracy also discusses that. He says that just by recording the goals, unexpected doors and avenues will become available to you that would not have been available had you not written the goal. This was certainly the case for me.

> So, is goal setting a personal thing?

Absolutely.

>Does it work for everyone?

Some people seem to do fine without setting goals. I seem to need them. However, I think even those people who claim they don't set goals have some kind of direction that they follow. Those that don't have either seem to drift.

>Is there a definitve way to set goals?

There is for me.

> Do larger goals cause different CHEMICAL
> reactions in the brain?

Well, it seemed to work in my case.

I will be putting these methods to the test again during a trip out of town. Perhaps I will record a few goals here after I return on Monday. Then we can see how they come out at the end of the year. Although that might become self-fulfilling prophecy. *g*
