You need goals in your life in order to achieve your dreams and have success you desire. But just as important is a system for keeping your goals constantly in your mind. We're back to using affirmations and mind-imagery!

After you've written out your 100 goals, take all of them and write them in form of 100 affirmations. Example, if your goal is to earn enough money to take your wife on a second honeymoon to Caribbean, then you could write: "I am enjoying company of my wife in Caribbean sun by January 1, 2009 with money that I gladly save and invest for my benefit!"

Then, follow advice of Rod Moore of Self Management Systems who said: "Each morning, first thing you should do is spend 5 - 10 minutes and invest it in programming your mind to go get goals you have set for yourself. By doing so, you are imprinting or programming your mind each day to focus on what you want. By doing this consistently your sub-conscious mind will begin to manifest your desires into your life."

What I've found works best for me is to review my short-term goals daily, and then once a week review mid-term and long-term goals making adjustments as necessary to term of specific goals. I find that this keeps me focused on achieving goals with shorter term without forgetting about goals on horizon.

I want you to be tremendously successful and I believe that you will be with techniques and exercises that we've discussed. Be a goal-setter, but don't just set them and walk away. Set them and follow them and achieve success you deserve! Until next time!

To Your Success, Joel S. Nelson

In order to do this, you will need to know some basics about how to get most out of affirmations. First, subconscious mind does not understand future tense. When you use affirmations, you should always speak of present. The past does work but not nearly as well. Speak as if things you want are happening in your life right now. For example, if your goal is to become manager of a division you currently work in, you need to picture it now:

"I am enjoying title and responsibility of being manager for ABC Division of XYZ Company and am doing successful and important work. I am being recognized by my peers and my employer for my good and honorable efforts."

The affirmations need to be positive and personal! You should usually start your statement with "I." The affirmation should be specific. Tell your mind exactly what it is that you want and you will get better results.

The affirmation should also be short, easy to remember, and easy to apply.

Finally, your affirmation should be emotionally intense! Don't just say it, BELIEVE IT. Shout it at top of your lungs if you must, but convince your mind, no matter how hard, that it is actually true. This is so important! Your success in using affirmations will live or die on how intensely you can get your mind to buy into your spoken words.

I believe that you should write down and repeat your affirmations at least twice a day. I recommend that you do it as soon as you wake up and right before you go to bed. Your assignment for next two weeks is to write down five affirmations that you want in your life. Repeat them, at least twice a day, for two weeks. If you do so, I believe that you will be quickly on path to achieving success you desire.

To Your Success, Joel
