1. This Week's JumpstartBe willing to say to yourself, "I'm on the right road. I'm doing OK. I'm succeeding." We too frequently become adept at pointing out our flaws and identifying failures. Become equally adept at citing your achievements. Identify things you are doing now that you weren´t doing one month ago... six months ago... a year ago. What habits have changed? Chart your progress. Doing well once or twice is relatively easy. Continuously moving ahead is tough, in part, because we so easily revert to old habits and former lifestyles. Over the long run, you need to give yourself regular feedback to monitor your performance and reinforce yourself positively. Don't wait for an award ceremony, promotion, friend or mentor to show appreciation for your work. Take pride in your own efforts on a daily basis. -- Denis Waitley
2. The Champion Within ArticleBeware of the Grinch (an adaptation by Denis Waitley of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas)Now's the time you should hear this! For very good reason! It could be his head isn't screwed on just right. The Grinch is a dream stealer of many disguises. When you say you look forward to earning a million. Sometimes the Grinch is quick to appear. He especially hates Christmas and the spirit of giving Sooner or later all dream stealers find As you sit by the fire and plan the new year "Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store."

Seeds of Greatness by Denis WaitleyIf You Think You Can, You Can (This excerpt was taken from Denis Waitley's Seeds of Greatness Treasury) You can be a total winner, even if you're a beginner It's not your talent or the gifted birth You can live with "coulds" or "shoulds," or be like Tiger Woods It doesn't matter what you've done before Just grab your dream and then believe it
4. The Winner's Edge Coaching TipsThis week I'm sharing an excerpt taken from an event I participated in a few years ago. One of our guest speakers was Vic Johnson who spoke at a Saturday VIP breakfast. His topic was having BIG goals, and since the end of the year is always a great time to focus on setting goals, then I felt this would be appropriate to share. Enjoy! -- DW The Modern Day (Real Life) Indiana Jones by Vic Johnson (This article was excerpted from the 2004 Jim Rohn Weekend Event CD/DVD package) One of my life's most valuable possessions is my journal. Why? Because my journal contains my dreams! And my dreams are my future! I learned this principle from a story about a 15 year old boy by the name of John Goddard. John, one day, happened to hear his parents and another adult talking, and the other adult had been telling John's parents about how miserable his life was and how much he had failed. He wished he was John's age again and could live his life over and do some things differently. Well, John heard the anguish in his voice, I suppose, and he made a vow that he was going to do something at 15 years old. So at 15 years old he took out a legal pad and began to write the things he wanted to do in his life, what he wanted to accomplish. Before he was finished he had 127 things on his list. He called it, "My Life List". Today John is in his mid 70's. Of his original 127 goals, John over the last 55-60 years has accomplished 111 of them, plus 400 other ones that he set along the way. And just so you know these weren't some small goals, here are some of the goals that John Goddard has accomplished that were on his list: - He's climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, he's climbed Mount Ararat, in fact, he's climbed every major peak in the world. Now just that, how many people just doing that, would be one great life experience? But that's just one of 500+ for John Goddard. - He took Marco Polo's route through all of Asia and China. - He ran a mile in five minutes, he broad jumped 15 feet, high jumped five feet, and so on... - He was the first person to explore the entire 4200 mile length of the Nile River (that was his number one goal!). When he was 15 years old, no person had ever done it, but that fifteen year old boy didn't know that, it didn't matter to him. He put it on his list and when he did it, USA Today named him the modern day Indiana Jones. He's been down not just the Nile River. He's been down the Amazon, down the Congo, etc. - He's been to 122 countries and lived with 260 different tribes. - He's explored the Reefs of Florida, the Great Barrier Reefs and so on... - He's flown 40 different types of aircraft. Still holds civilian air speed records. Just that alone would be a great life experience, that was just one of John Goddard's goals. - He's read the Bible cover to cover. - He's taught himself French, Spanish, Arabic (who reading this could not learn a foreign language in the next couple of years?). And that is just a portion of over 500 dreams that John Goddard has accomplished. I hope we all learn from John Goddard! Here are two major points that were impressed upon me: 1) John Goddard's goals (dreams) were written down. How many of you have heard that before, to write your goals and dreams down? Because for 20 years I heard it and I had never written mine down, until just three years ago. Brian Tracy says if you'll write your goals down you have a 100 times greater chance of success, just by writing them down. Now I look at that mathematically and then by an inverse way, from an opposite way. What it says to me that if I don't write my goals down, I only have a 1 in 100 chance of succeeding. Write your goals and dreams down. 2) His dreams were BIG! I've found that a small dream will not give you the bullet proofing you are going to need. A small dream won't protect you when bad times come. A small dream does not have any power at all - it has to be BIG! So get started today! Go get a journal (or wipe the dust off the one you have) and write down your BIG goals! And then get started on your life story!
