A Few Notes From Cheryl

Happy New Year to you and your loved ones!  I hope that 2005 will be a year filled with abundance, good health and peace for each of you.

2004 closed in a devastating way for those in Southeast Asia, and this was a painful reminder to all of us about how important it is to fully live and appreciate each day.  I was in Thailand two years ago, specifically in some of the coastal areas that were hardest hit.  My heartfelt sympathy goes out to everyone who has been impacted by the tsunami and earthquake, and especially our Thai friends that we met two years ago.

On a lighter note, for those of you who are ready to make 2005 your best year yet, this newsletter is packed full of resources to help you be successful.  See below for details on coaching groups starting soon, a f-r-e-e teleclass on January 18 and other new programs that were designed just for YOU!  And, for the first time ever, we have two very s-p-e-c-i-a-l  o-f-f-e-r-s for you below....

S-P-E-C-I-A-L  O-F-F-E-R #1:  Our first complete, step-by-step home study program is now available for you!   "6 Steps to Setting and Achieving Your Most Meaningful Goals" contains a 53-minute audio CD narrated by yours truly, along with a 23-page workbook containing all of the exercises you need to complete the program as we walk through the audio portion together.  We're offering an introductory launch price so that you can s-a-v-e  20% and put $11 more in your pocket if you order by January 31.   And, to help those affected by the tsunami and earthquakes, we will donate 10% of your purchases in January to the American Red Cross International Response Fund, so that everyone benefits.  See complete details at http://www.goalsinsight.com/products.htm  (and remember to come back here to read the rest of the e-zine!).  Want to purchase this program for several employees or friends?  Contact us about quantity pricing.

S-P-E-C-I-A-L  O-F-F-E-R #2:   Would you like to receive this new self-paced goal setting program for f-r-e-e?  If you start coaching with Cheryl in January or February under the "Achieve Your Goals in 90 Days" individual coaching program, you will receive a f-r-e-e  copy of the complete "6 Steps to Setting and Achieving Your Most Meaningful Goals" home study program, saving you the full retail price of $54.  See complete details about this comprehensive coaching program to help you achieve your desired goals at
http://www.goalsinsight.com/coaching_programs.htm) .  Coaching is not for everyone -- you must be ready and excited about achieving the goals that are most important to you.  If you've been thinking about individual coaching and you're ready to get started, NOW is the time -- just contact us to set up your complimentary consultation to determine your eligibility for the program.  Providing you with the home study program as an added b*o*n*u*s if you start in January or February is our way of helping you start the New Year off right, with all of the resources you need!

Best wishes for a wonderful 2005,

    Cheryl

Feature Article:  How Will This Year Be Different For You?

As we move into this new year, it is a fitting time to recap our learnings from the past year and determine what we want to create in 2005.  As I reflect on the past year, I am filled with gratitude for all of the people, resources and abundance that came into my life.  And, I'm ready for 2005 to be an even more successful year in many ways as I create my most meaningful goals.

So, how will this year be different for you?  What are the goals that you will set in 2005 so that you can create the year you truly desire?  How will you ensure that the goals you set will be achieved?  Remember that in order to achieve a goal, you will have far greater success if the goal is a SMART goal.  SMART stands for:  Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-oriented.  Most importantly, what will you do to ensure that the goals you set truly reflect YOU -- your values and your priorities?

These are all important things to remember as you plan for the coming year.  In addition, as my clients do when we coach together, it is important to acknowledge and celebrate your accomplishments.  What did you accomplish in 2004?  How will you celebrate those accomplishments so that you can maintain that momentum in 2005 (the saying is really true -- success does breed success!)?

Now is a wonderful time to reflect back on the past year, so that you can create your desired life in 2005.  Give yourself the gift of this reflection time right now, and you will reap the benefits this coming year.  How to get started?  Take a weekend day and go to a quiet place, with pen and paper (or for those techies like me, a laptop!).  Or, take a day off  or a half day off from work and go somewhere that no one will interrupt you.  Do whatever you need to do in order to take the reflection time that you need so that you can reflect and plan without any distractions.  Make it fun!  You will be so glad you did!

Here are some questions to consider as you reflect on '04 and plan for '05:
  • What is my vision for 2005 -- by the end of this year, what will my life look like?  What will be work / business look like?  What will be different about me?
  • What were my biggest accomplishments in 2004?  What did I learn from them?  How will I celebrate them, if I haven't already?
  • What were my biggest "failures" in 2004?  What did I learn from them?  How will I celebrate them?  (Yes, even "failures" are learning opportunities and reasons to celebrate because you took a risk to try something new!)
  • What worked well in 2004 that I want to carry into 2005?
  • What didn't work well in 2004 that I'm ready to leave behind?
  • What do I want more of in 2005?
  • What do I want less of in 2005?
  • What are my top 3 desired goals for 2005 (hint:  my clients find that they're more successful when they focus on a few primary goals rather than a long list so that they don't get overwhelmed)?
  • How will I accomplish my desired goals in 2005 -- what resources do I need?
  • Who will I ask to help support and hold me accountable to the goals so that I can ensure that I am successful? 
I invite you to consider the above questions carefully.  It IS possible to create the year you want in 2005 and the time to take action is NOW!  Will you do that?
