Jim Rohn once said, “I find it fascinating that most
\npeople plan their vacations with better care than they
\nplan their lives. Perhaps it’s because escape is
\neasier than change.”<\/p>\n

If the statistics from motivation experts and success
\npsychologists are correct (95% of the people in the world do NOT have written goals and fail, while 5% have
\nwritten goals and succeed), then Mr Rohn’s observation
\nreally IS quite fascinating isn’t it?<\/p>\n

If clear, scientifically-written goals are the key to
\nsuccess, then why wouldn’t more people make the time
\nand effort to set goals? Beats me. Mystery of life.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for most people, the odds for success
\nare actually even lower, because out of the few people who
\ndo set goals, most don’t take goal setting seriously and
\nthey don’t do it scientifically.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of every year, you see countless articles
\nabout getting fit, losing fat, and nearly everyone talks
\nabout “new years resolutions.”<\/p>\n

And that’s the problem – you may think you are setting
\nreal goals, but if you’re like most people, you’re probably
\nonly making flimsy, wishy-washy, powerless “resolutions.”<\/p>\n

Zig Ziglar once said that, “A goal casually set and lightly
\ntaken will be freely abandonded at the first obstacle.”<\/p>\n

You might want to go back and read that quote again,
\nmaybe even write it down or print it out, because that
\none hits the bullseye!<\/p>\n

This truly explains why new years resolutions almost never
\nwork, and why so few people can keep off the pounds after
\nthey get rid of them.<\/p>\n

Goal setting should not be casual or lightly taken. Goal
\nsetting is an important and serious matter. This is not a
\ngame – this is your life, and you only have one life to live.<\/p>\n

Goal setting is so important, that I always teach goal
\nsetting and mind dynamics first, and only THEN, do I teach
\nnutrition and training second.<\/p>\n

In fact, I devoted the entire first chapter of my book,
\nBurn the Fat, Feed the Muscle (BFFM) to this subject of
\ngoals and constructive “mind programming” for success<\/p>\n

I don’t care how much you know about nutrition or exercise,
\nuntil specialized knowledge is linked with purpose, vision
\nand goals, the knowledge is useless and there can be no
\nintelligent accomplishment.<\/p>\n

If you want to learn more about the real proven science
\nof achieving goals and getting the body you want, then
\ngoing to www.BurnTheFat.com<\/a> and getting the Burn The Fat,
\nFeed The Muscle ebook may be the most important investmen’t
\nyou make this entire year…<\/p>\n

Why? Because you won’t just learn what fat burning foods to
\neat or how to exercise for burning fat, you will also learn
\nhow to set goals scientifically and how to harness the awesome
\npower of your mind to help you acheive your goals and to put
\nyourself in that elite group of the 5% who succeed.<\/p>\n

As you start thinking about your goals for 2014 right Now,
\nI’d like to help you start the year off right by sharing
\none very valuable and powerful tip:<\/p>\n

*** Set realistic goals, without limits ***<\/p>\n

I know that may sound contradictory. How can you set a
\ngoal that is realistic and also has no limits?<\/p>\n

Let me explain<\/p>\n

As a fat loss coach, I sometimes have a dilemma…<\/p>\n

One one hand, I want my clients and proteges to set goals
\nwhich are achievable and realistic. But on the other hand,
\nI hate to set limits on what someone can or cannot achieve.<\/p>\n

I like to say that If youre going to question anything,
\nquestion your limits.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I suggest to do when you set your goals
\nfor 2014:<\/p>\n

Set goals that are specific, measureable, ambitious, and
\nhave a realistic time frame (deadline). But don’t stop there…<\/p>\n

This year, turn your goals into NO LIMIT goals!<\/p>\n

As the subconscious mind tends to take you literally and
\nat your own estimation, why put a definite cap on your goal
\nby stopping with a goal statement like, “I am losing 6% body
\nfat by April 15th?”
\nWhy not say, “I am losing 6% body fat OR MORE by April 15th,” or,
\n“I am gaining AT LEAST 12 pound of lean muscle in the next
\nthree months.”<\/p>\n

When you say, “I will achieve X OR BETTER,” you can have a
\nrealistic goal, but one without limits.<\/p>\n

Make the time to set your goals, today! Take it seriously
\nand set your goals without limits.<\/p>\n

Do it and this could be the best year of your life.<\/p>\n

Train hard and expect success,<\/p>\n
