What Everybody Should Know About Setting Goals By Andrew Rondeau

Probably the hardest part of setting goals is the first step of actually deciding to take action! The main hurdle that most people face is the incorrect assumption that goals are only for business or sales-minded people. The reality is everyone subconsciously sets goals throughout their day. There are always occasions where something has to be done at a particular time or place. Simple examples could be getting up at a certain time in order to be at work, or to meet with a friend for a leisure activity.

After years of sales meetings, one small statement made me realise that this process is as natural as breathing. The beauty of having goals is the uniqueness of each one to the person setting the goal. They are very specific to them and their circumstances whether in the area of business, financial, personal or spiritual.

The most important part initially, is to write them down. Having the goals written down gives incredible power and focus to your efforts.

Aim for something that will stretch you whilst remaining achievable. If the goal is achieved too easily it is not high enough to make any significant change in your life and needs to be adjusted. On the other hand, if you consistently miss the goal, re-evaluate and consider setting it a little lower as you will probably get discouraged and give up. The aim is to keep growing, and moving into a more satisfactory position for your circumstances.

The goal should be as specific as possible with a benefit of attaining it. Another good idea is to also have the result of not reaching the goal. This will strengthen your resolve to take the necessary action.

As you obtain the levels that you have set for yourself always include a small reward at each point. This will only need to be a small treat in the beginning, such as a meal out or a weekend vacation.

Remember that these changes will not take place overnight and there will be a period of time when nothing seems to be happening. This is why the goals need to be detailed and as specific as possible with a consequence and a benefit.

Allow some time on a daily basis to educate yourself on how to make the necessary adjustments in your life. This could include listening to a cd or reading a book on motivation etc. There is an enormous amount of resources available to anyone looking for help in this area.

A simple method to start with could be one goal in the main areas of life to be achieved in one month, six months, one year and five years. Break that down further into a daily, weekly and monthly plan.

The main areas could include: Career, Finance, Personal Growth, Health, Family, Relationships, Social Life, Home.

To summarise. Have goals across your main areas of life. Write them down, be specific, allow time. Review and adjust on a regular basis. Stay focussed and disciplined to achieve all you desire.

What Are the 5 1/2 Things You Need in a Survival Kit? By C West

When you are putting together your survival kit for home or office, there are items that you need to have to be minimally prepared. These are:

1. Food and Water

Lets face facts. The body can last only 3 days without water and several weeks without food. But when dehydration kicks in, you make mistakes due to confusion. Having plenty of clean water is crucial. A case of bottled water will do. Add some high energy bars for 3 days worth of eating, you can keep the mind fueled right and hopefully not making mistakes due to hunger/thirst.

2. A Multi-tool (Leatherman/Gerber/etc.)

A multi-tool is crucial since you never know what situation you will come across where a pair of pliers or a knife is needed. When you are tired and the food bars wrappers are hard to open, guess what - a multi tool comes in handy. Plus you never know when a screwdriver or other attachment is needed!

3. A Space Blanket.

At night, keeping warm is important. A space blanket is light weight and waterproof. Wrapping yourself in the blanket at night will ward off hypothermia which is dangerous in cold climates. If you have a couple of them, you can use one as a cover and a second as a blanket.

4. An LED flashlight:

Traveling at night if hazardous without a light. Tripping over stuff can be hazardous to you! Be sure to have additional batteries as well. If you want to have a multi purpose light, get a combo light and radio (make sure it can get NOAA weather stations!) Make sure that you get one that uses LED for the bulbs since they last way longer than a standard bulb and are more durable!

5. A First Aide Kit

Having a proper first aide kit with supplies can be a life saver. Make sure it is properly stocked with supplies which are not EXPIRED. The best way to ensure the kit is up to date is to have an annual kit check date where you dump the old/expired stuff and replace it. If you plan to do this on new years day, you will always have your ducks in a row!

5 1/2. An Inventory List

Having a method to check what should be in the kit and when it was last replaced is all too important. What good are expired supplies or spoiled food in your kit at a time of disaster? The easiest way to store your list is to type it up and place it in a zip lock style badge. Make sure you have a date written on the list as well for a quick view for the last time you checked your kit.

Make sure you keep these items in a soft briefcase, backpack or other other case with a strap which you can sling over your shoulder. Be sure you also keep a set of comfortable shoes in your office as well in case you have to get the Heck otta Dodge!

Just Exactly What is Brainwave Technology By Gregory Frost

In this day and age, there are many names for brainwave technology, but the most common one is either brainwave entrainment or brain wave synchronization, which in the area of science and technology, is the practice and the method of forcing the brain to emit a particular frequency which then will stimulate the brain to produce positive effects associated with the particular wave pattern. In the area of neuro science, this is called the frequency following effect, and it is something that happens quite naturally in the brain.

The neurons in the brain are in the constant state of producing electrons and electromagnetic pulses, and this is down to its communication mechanism from one area of the brain to the next. When it does this, machines like the ECG machine, are able to pick up these wavelengths and measure them. We are able to do the same thing with a whole host of stimuli, which can vary from visual or auditory stimulation. This can range from subliminal flashes, to the dream machine, to binaural beats and even isochronic tones, which are all in the category of engineered stimulation which will be perceived deep within the subconscious of the brain, as well as the cortical.

Of course, these are the more common methods of brainwave technology, and there are other, much more complex methods, which include things like the mind machine, electromagnetic radiation as well as force induction of magnetic waves using stimulus head gear. These are available only within the arena of science labs and advanced hospitals. One of the most common forms of this technology, and the one that you will be encountering when you are researching this technology is binaural beats. What they are is actually a reverse engineering of the available technology in the brain as well. For example, the brain is able to gather itself and be in the state where it is greatly focused, has high levels of creativity and is able to think and react much faster.

So, in terms, the wavelength of this in accordance to brainwave technology is somewhere in the high theta ranges, or the high end of the brainwave spectrum. So to produce a 30 plus wavelength range in the brain, binaural beats will then introduce a 540Hz and 510 Hz engineered beat in both sides of the ear and what happens then is that the difference is picked up in the cortical of the brain, and in the frequency following response, the brain will then be set to a 30Hz wavelength electromagnetic pulse. With this, you are able to be much more creative and much for focused. As you can see the application of this technology is quite enormous and there is nothing you cannot do now that you are privy to this new fangled brainwave technology. All you need to do to gain access to this revolution of the mind is to get online, search for it and order. Do your research, gain the best one and the rest is just a matter of the mind.

Who Else Wants Success by Choosing What They Want in Life By Andrew Rondeau

You can choose success. Do you believe this? If you do not then you have chosen (yes chosen) a different route and success will not be a prominent feature! Success is about choosing what you want in life and taking the necessary steps to achieve that goal. Success is not stopping until you get there!

Read the last two sentences again. Easy to say but how do you get there? What are the choices made by the successful? What are they doing differently from everyone else?

Choose to remove whatever is holding you back.

Has something happened in the past to affect your self-esteem? Do you immediately have negative thoughts as soon as money and success come to mind? If you are not choosing success then it is likely that something is blocking your ability to change and follow a new path. To remove the block you must have focus. To have focus you must first have an all-consuming dream of where you want to be. Only when you have defined that dream can you start to focus on it. Focus so intently that everything you do is done with your dream in mind. Only then can you move toward that dream.

Choose to live your success.

Live your life as if you were successful, as if you had already achieved the goal that you are focusing on. When you are at work, visualise what your workplace will be like when you have reached your goal, and place yourself there. Sit at your desk as if you were running the multimillion-dollar business that you are focusing on. When you get into your car, visualise what your dream car will be like and see yourself sitting in it. Visualise yourself driving away from your dream house. When you are in your home - look around it and see your new surroundings. Get inside the feeling - really be there.

The more you do this…

…the more your subconscious will think that you are successful and move you towards these things. Live your success expecting to realise it. Living it now is a practice run for when it comes to you. After all, you want to be prepared, don't you?

Choose to believe in your success.

What your conscious mind believes, your subconscious strives to achieve. Look around at your friends and acquaintances and ask yourself how many of them have unshakable belief in where they are going. Are they successful? Possibly not - they may be in a good job and have a nice life but they do not have the success factor. Perhaps you do know of someone with unshakable belief. They may not be successful now but they will be moving in the right direction. Watch that space....

Belief is the catalyst, which takes the dream and turns the focus into a plan to get there. Never underestimate the power of belief.

Choose to be emotional about your success.

Belief plus emotion are unstoppable. If you have utter belief then you will develop emotion. If you want something badly enough it is emotive. Maybe it is to get out of debt. If you have suffered the hardships of this situation you will feel everything to do with debt and money is charged with emotion. This is the reason behind so many 'rags to riches' stories. Sometimes only the most devastating of emotional circumstances are the catalyst for change and a move toward success instead of away from it.

You can choose success.

Or you can choose to stay safe and do what you do now. Guess what - you will still be doing the same in ten years time. The question is - do you want to?
