1. Welcome & Announcements

It seems like a lot of folks haven't even put away all of their holiday decorations, and we are already approaching the end of January 2007. Can you believe it?!! I hope you have caught up with all the work and kicked into high gears in achieving your 2007 personal and/or career goals.

If you have not set your Top 3 Goals for 2007, I urge you to go to my website and take this f.ree goal-setting quiz now. It only takes 5 minutes to do it. You will receive a FREE, personalized Goals Report along with the top 10 tips to help you achieve them. Take the goal-setting quiz now

When you get clear about what you want (your goal), and WHY you want it, it is critical to have a good plan to achieve your goal. A goal without a plan is just wishful thinking. In my January Teleclass, I talked about the 5 Master Keys to Keeping Your New Year Resolutions (you can listen to the Teleclass recording and download the worksheet here). In fact, these are the same 5 Master Keys to achieve ANY goals you want. Most people fail because they either didn't have a solid action plan (Master Key #4), or they did not set up the appropriate "support structure" and "accountability partners" (Master Key #5) to help them stay focused and motivated on achieving their goals. Let's face it, when left to their own devices, most people don't have the discipline and perseverance to make sustainable changes and stick to their goals until the end. When you make a promise to someone else, you are more likely to keep your words. That's why it's very important to tell others about your goals, and have someone keep you accountable. Be very careful about who you tell your goals & dream to, though. You want to share your dreams and goals only with those who will support your vision, believe in you, and help you succeed. You can read more about how to build your own success team in this month's featured article.

Coaching is an ideal support structure to help you achieve your personal and professional goals, because accountability and commitment are two of the most important elements in the coaching process. A coach can help you set realistic goals, serve as a sounding board, give you insights and resources, teach you new skills, help you design a step-by-step action plan, and keep you on track and accountable. Every week you come to coaching session to work on your challenges, celebrate your progress, and you get a coaching assignment, which is your next action step that you commit to do the coming week. This is how I can keep you accountable and keep moving forward toward your goals.

February FREE Teleclass
"Make Up Your Mind And Move Forward: Decision-Making Strategies for the Indecisive"

To be or not to be?" We have to make many decisions every single day. Some decisions are easy to make and have little or no impact on your life or work. Some decisions are life-or-death and you could suffer dire consequences if you make the wrong choice. Once in a while we're stumped by really tough decisions that require extensive soul-searching. Should I take that job, leave this relationship, move across the country, get the surgery, start over? We've all been there. But, what if you are constantly stumped by decisions big or small, and feel stuck in your life because you can't make up your mind & move forward?

In this Teleclass, we will explore some underlying reasons why you are indecisive, and what can you do to make up your mind so you can move forward. You will learn a powerful decision-making process as well as many useful tips to help you make the right decision for you.

2. Featured Article: Build Your Success Team

Are you a loner? When it comes to success and goal-attainment, there is power in numbers (of people, that is). Let's face it, when left to their own devices, most people don't have the discipline and perseverance to make sustainable changes and stick to their goals until the end. Interestingly, among the people who took my goal-setting quiz, many of them identified "being a loner" as their #1 self-sabotaging behavior. Can you relate to this? Read the featured article to see why being a loner could really hurt your chance of making it, and how you can build your own success team to support your goals.

According to a survey conducted by Leo J. Shapiro & Associates, for the American Bar Association Section of Litigation, seven in ten U.S. households (71%) report experiencing some event in a twelve month period that might have led them to hire a lawyer. The study indicated that for the consumer, legal services are among the most difficult services to buy. As a result, many people are in need of a lawyer but they do not hire one. If you are thinking of using a prepaid legal plan, here is some useful information to help you make a good choice:
