A Blueprint for Successful Goal Setting.

A study on goals begun in 1953 found that 3% of that year's Yale graduates had written specific goals.  Twenty years later, those 3% were worth more than the remaining 97% combined.

Scott Groves is an Australian success coach who 'walks his talk.'  Here, he details a process of overcoming fears, limiting beliefs and subconscious images.  He shows the ways to free your mind and move forward, avoiding the traps of common fears and doubts.  Anyone can do this and you are never too old or too young to start.

"We are born goal seeking organisms.  Our minds have the ability to bring into reality that which is consistent with our subconscious conditioning.  Goal setting has nothing to do with where you are coming from or what happened to you in the past.  What really matters is the direction you are going from this day on."

The book is structured to take you through a series of self-examining exercises.  The crucial What, Why, How formula for setting goals is explained.  The author asks you to focus on What you want and Why you want it, to free you from the How which can sabotage you, if given priority.

He encourages daily visualisation of your goals to make them brilliantly bold and clear, as well as reminding ourselves Why we want them.  We can want things all day long but it's the emotions that drive the subconscious.

"What you have in your heart, you can hold in your hand."

Prioritising, planning, beliefs, action and self-talk are covered, as are his three golden rules for success: pay full price, pay in advance, enjoy the rewards.

This is very readable and peppered with pithy quotes and personal anecdotes to inspire you - a genuine blueprint for successful goal setting that is practical and do-able.  The author has put plenty of sincere wisdom and experience into this book - a quality product.
