Can I get a recommendation?

Monday, January 25th, 2010

I’m currently reviewing several new books and want to know what you’re reading that you believe can make a difference for someone else. Each year I develop a list for my clients based not just on my recommendations but from others. I appreciate your help and will be posting the list. Thanks in advance and send your recommendations to me personally at robert@robertvanarlen.com.

New Year, New Goals

Monday, January 25th, 2010

I love the New Year because it’s like renewal and gives us the opportunity to establish calendar year goals. I started setting mine last year and I heard something new that I’m going to try this year. The concept centers on a new way of manifesting your goals. Yes, you should have a vision board because it’s important for you to see your goals daily and during the day. But this concept goes to another level where you develop a network of like-minded people or friends that you can talk to about your goals as if you’ve already achieved them. For example, if your goal is purchase a new car, you might say to someone in your network that you are going to drive over in your new car. It sounds pretty simple, but the mind is an interesting thing and has the power to supercharge you into way you want to live. Don’t be afraid to set goals that are big and audacious. If you do, you have the opportunity to achieve them, but if you don’t, guess what…you’ll never have that satisfaction!
