From the Desk of Bob

Dream Big Dreams and DO NOT ALLOW ANYBODY TO STEAL YOUR DREAMS. This planet is full of dream stealing people. Be aware, be very aware this sad thing that some people will do to you. Share your goals and dreams only with people who care about you and want you to succeed.

This is a reminder that at one of my favorite websites - www.prairiebeaconradio.com you will find over 40 episodes / podcasts on a plethora of topics I have produced for your learning and listening pleasure.

Side Note: I have pulled off over 60 pounds of body fat in the last 5 months. I have lost several inches around my belly. I am wearing clothes I have not worn in years. I have 100 pounds yet to go. I will persevere. I will succeed.

Maximize Your Monday! Bob

Seeds of Success: A Goal Achieving Formula

By Robert A. Prentice

Setting goals is one thing, but accomplishing them is entirely another matter. I'd like to tell you about a formula that I have shared with thousands of people over the years. It is truly powerful, because it can help anyone to accomplish their goals and dreams.

First of all, become a thinker of big goals, dreams, and desires. Do not let anyone come and steal your goals or put you and your goals down. You will achieve about 5% of the goals that you think about. While dreaming is good, unfortunately, it is about as far as most people get.

A few people will actually put their goals in writing. You will achieve about 35% of your goals by simply writing them down on paper. The key is getting the thoughts out of your mind and onto paper. Be specific.

Increase your success rate to 65% by simply putting a deadline or a timetable on each specific goal you have written down.

Next, go to someone you trust, respect or love, and ask them if they will hold you accountable to your goal(s). When you do this, you will be amazed to discover that you achieve your goals, dreams and the desires of your heart and mind 95% of the time!

Imagine achieving 95% of the ideas you come up with. Just follow this simple formula and you will enjoy success. Our whole family applies this goal achieving formula to every area of our lives-family, work, finances, spiritual, health, educational and basic life strategies. In fact, you are now reading the product of one of our family goals. It really works if you work the formula.

On the Sunny Side of Life: For those who take life too seriously...

1. Save the whales. Collect the whole set
2. A day without sunshine is, like, night
3. On the other hand, you have different fingers.
4. I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.
5. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.
6. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
7. I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
