Are You 100% Committed?
Filed Under Goal Setting, Personal Development, Time Management, Change & Growth, Life Balance | 2 Comments
I am implementing a new time management tool in my business and personal life that is working like magic: I am committing 100% to a handful of key areas & tasks.
This might sound simple enough, but the concept is quite profound. Most of us have a tendency to commit to many different things and then give 80% here, 60% there, and maybe 90% or 95% somewhere else.
But with a 100% commitment, there’s far more at stake. Of course, the upside of that is there’s far more to gain!
How to Commit 100% - Three Simple Steps
1. Set your most important goals.
Over the past month or two, I have been prioritizing my goals every day. In my daily “workshop” (a term I borrow from the Abraham-Hicks writings on The Law of Attraction
Setting goals is a tremendously useful process – especially if done every day – and I highly recommend the daily exercise. But the absolute best part of doing it lies in the quick identification of what goals matters most in the short-run that will greatly contribute to success in the long run.
For me, several things came rising to the surface as “key goals.” Even as I set forth clear intentions to perform specific tasks that would lead me towards goal-achievement, I found it difficult to follow through on some days. I knew what I needed to do next…
2. Commit 100% every day.
I spent some time thinking and writing about these things that mattered most. (By the way, this could include many different things for you, but examples might be exercising, starting a business, improving a relationship, meditating, getting organized, etc.)
Then, I looked for a way to commit 100% to each area every day. One example for me is personal organization with the Getting Things Done
3. Track progress on daily checklists.
This last part is simple. I typed up my list and added bulleted check boxes for each goal. I made sure each listed 100% goal was measurable and not too general. For example, “Exercise for 30 minutes” is much easier to quantify than simply “Exercise.” I carry this checklist around with me in an organizer and review it periodically throughout the day.
Implementing the system will take some work, but don’t let initial difficulties discourage you. In my case, it took several days before I had a realistic but challenging list of quantifiable tasks. You might give yourself a week to experiment with the list. After that testing period, it is essential that you put the list into action, make it permanent (at least for several months), and not allow yourself any easy-outs.
Prepare for potential setbacks and make a plan for dealing with them. If you want to work on your business every day for at least one hour, then make sure you can do it – even on the weekends, even if you’re on vacation, even if you’re sick!
100% commitment means sticking it out even when you don’t want to, following through even when it seems too hard. But 100% commitment also means reaping great rewards, building your self-belief, and moving faster every day towards your most important goals!

Podcast Review - Internet Business Mastery
Filed Under Information Products, Podcasting | Leave a Comment
Since buying an iPod
With the iTunes system in wide use today, many free podcasts are available out there, but few are impressive enough or informative enough to keep me subscribing.
That said, occasionally I do come across some remarkable material. The gem I want to share with you today is the Internet Business Mastery (IBM) Podcast of internetbusinessmastery.com – the companion blog & website.
If you are interested in starting an internet business or already hard at work on your webpreneur riches, this podcast is an absolute MUST. The podcast is a weekly show hosted by two internet entrepreneurs, Sterling & Jay. These two know what it takes to be successful online - they do it every day!
As of this writing, Sterling and Jay have 25 solid shows with between 30 and 60 minutes of great content per show! The podcasters are business partners, friends, and allies in their pursuit of financial and time freedom.
I really enjoy the casual but professional tone of their show. As a regular listener, I feel personally connected to Sterling and Jay because of their broadcast style - a feature that I believe will bring them a wide audience. One of my personal goals right now is to start a thriving mastermind group and until that happens the IBM podcast is a nice substitute!
I strongly suggest you subscribe to their podcast and newsletter today! Get a taste of what good podcasting sounds like and join these inspiring entrepreneurs…
Keep up the great work, Sterling & Jay.
