Goal Setting – Zig Zigler Is A Legend
December 20, 2008 by Reba
Filed under Blog, Goal Setting, Hot Topics
In the first video, Zig talks about the formula he uses for setting and accomplishing goals. Do all the following in writing (writing it down is ESSENTIAL):
- Identify your objective – what it is you want to accomplish
- Set the date you expect to complete your goal – put a date on it
- Identify your obstacles – things you need to overcome
- Identify the people, groups, and organizations you need to work with – who will help you
- Devise a plan of action – include time limits
- Identify what it is you need know – do you need to learn anything
- Identify all the benefits to you if accomplished – “what’s in it for me”
Check out Zig ~ I love him, he’s such a motivator:

In listening to Zig speak, I’m not only motivated but a bit overwhelmed. Just the thought of doing all the steps can be more than we think we can handle alone, not to mention following through on everything. Having help is really okay. Getting someone to push you a little or having a system to follow can really be the difference in reaching your goals or just saying “I wish I had followed through” later.
If you’re looking for a system to help you reach your goals next year, check out Gary Ryan Blair’s (The Goals Guy) new program called “Got Resolutions?”. If focus, discipline, and accountability were the things that prevented you from achieving your resolutions in the past, then you must get the “Got Resolutions?” program!
Earlier this year you probably set some goals and resolutions, made promises to yourself, and ended up with unmet goals and unmet resolutions. Don’t let that happen in 2009. As Zig said, you need to devise a plan. Let part of your plan be to get some help and accountability to reach your goals next year.
Cheers!

The Start-Up of “Internet Marketing Boomer”
September 16, 2008 by Reba
Filed under Blog, Hot Topics, Internet Marketing Boomer Start-Up
Comments Off
After doing all the tech-stuff to get Internet Marketing Boomer, this beautiful website you’re reading right now, all set-up and ready to go, I found myself in the precarious situation of not knowing what to do next. It seems the business plan I had written wasn’t detailed enough, focused enough, or something. This was not a position I wanted to be in so early in the start-up of my business and I realized very quickly that it was a big mistake on my part that I was in this position. I was, and continue, to spend a lot of time writing information for this site, however, at the same time, I couldn’t quite wrap my mind around what I was trying to achieve. I knew I wanted to teach internet marketing to baby boomers, but what I couldn’t seem to figure out was exactly how I was going to do that. Yeah, it was time for me to have a sit-down with myself and figure it out.
All the research I’ve been doing to find information for this site put me into “overload”. There’s soooo much information about internet marketing and the more information I gathered, the more questions popped into my head. Where should I start, where would I find the time to write about everything I’m learning, what topics should I cover, what information was the most important to convey first, how do I present the information, how do I present the information so it’s relevant for baby boomers, and I could go on and on and on.
Well, with the help from my Traffic Secrets 2.0 Course to get my thoughts focused and the motivation of Brent’s post on goal setting and the Start Fast Finish Strong 100 Day Challenge, I’ve made some decisions.
- Rome wasn’t built in a day. Yes, Brent and I work full-time jobs and this website, as much hope as it brings me that I will some day be able to work on it instead of going to my day job, it’s just not possible to put everything we know and have learned over the last 10 years of studying the internet into words overnight. So patience and consistency will be my mantra, I will post on a regular and consistent basis.
- Too much of a good thing. There is just too much information to try to “dump” it all on a website without first having a focused plan. It’s not fair to my readers to just “dump” a bunch of unfocused information onto web pages and expect them to figure it all out. I will make a plan that will benefit my readers while remembering to stay patient and consistent with the information I’m presenting.
- I will not do this “half-ass”. Sorry for the language but after trying many things to make a living on the internet, I find that when you try to do things quickly instead of building quality over time, they don’t work, you end up with a “half-ass” product. I will not do that to my readers and in return my readers will read what I teach and reward me by using my affiliate link when they are ready to buy.
The three statements above will become my doctrine for Internet Marketing Boomer. Very soon I will finalize my plan and post it for you. You will know in advance what topics we’re going to cover and can expect those topics to be covered thoroughly in upcoming months. I’m going to cover topics in a sequential manner that you can follow easily, I even plan to use some video. I’m sure my “plan” will evolve over time as I plan to allow YOU to have input as well into what’s covered here.
And lastly, I just want to talk about the power of having a plan. Just having written this post I feel empowered. I now know what I need to do and will make every effort to actually do it. I feel energy that I didn’t have prior to making the decisions I stated above. I now feel the desire to make this website a premier place for baby boomers to learn how to make their dream of earning money on the internet a reality.
In fact, I’m now so motivated I’ve already made a decision. This post will become the first in a case-study for how we’re building the Internet Marketing Boomer website. To access the full series as it happens, just go to the Case Study category and choose Internet Marketing Boomer Start-Up. Every post in chronological order will be post there.
Next post from me? I’ll post my “plan” before we leave for California on Thursday. Brent and I will be taking the weekend off, we’re going to our youngest daughter’s volleyball tournament at Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA. Texas State will be playing Pepperdine, UC Santa Barbara and Cal State Northridge over the course of the weekend. It’ll be a great weekend vacation after living through Hurricane Ike last weekend.
Until my next post…

Has it been a productive year?
September 8, 2008 by Brent
Filed under Blog, Goal Setting, Hot Topics
12/20/08 - HOT NEWS! Gary Ryan Blair’s new program, “Got Resolutions?” is now available. Click to go to the website:
As a boomer, there are many times I wonder where my days go. Have you caught yourself saying, it’s September already? Well, yes it is September and it won’t be long till the holidays are upon us and we will be wondering where the year went.
And when the year is over we’ll be asking ourselves questions like, was it a productive year? Did I accomplish what I wanted? And did I use my time effectively and productively? I am sure a lot us can say “yes” to some areas of our life, but I’d be willing to bet we’d have to say “no” to other areas. What will it take for us to be able to say “yes” to all these questions?
I’ve been a long time fan of Gary Ryan Blair, or “The Goals Guy” as some of you may know him. Since September 22nd marks the 100 day countdown of 2008, Gary is coming forward to challenge us with his 100 Day Finish Strong Challenge!
Here are some questions Gary has put together for you to consider as you push toward the finish line and call this year a wrap:
- What specific results have you achieved so far this year?
- Are you healthier, wealthier, and wiser?
- Are you winning, losing or just holding ground?
- What results are you committed to achieve by the end of the year?
- How have you grown and what have you learned this year?
- Is there any unfinished business that needs to be tended to in your life?
- Are you actively pursuing what’s most important on a daily basis?
- What habits or behaviors do you need to change to ensure better results?
- What is the key issue that inhibits your ability to perform at your best?
Tough questions huh?
These questions help us to assess not only the goals that we set for ourselves, but also how we’ve managed our time in accomplishing these goals. And are we better off for it.
Setting goals should be the beginning step in any endeavor but how many of us actually take the time to sit down and put our goals to paper and outline the steps required to reach these goals. Setting goals for even the small things we want to accomplish will help us to be successful and have the confidence to approach the bigger endeavors we will want to achieve.
Being a baby boomer, all of us are thinking about retirement. Are we on schedule to be where we want to be when that time comes? Do we have the steps we need to take over the next few years to achieve this goal written down? Achieving this life goal will most likely require steps along the way that needs it’s own set of goals.
Financial goals aren’t the only goals we need to consider, what about those goals that are aimed at achieving a healthy and happy lifestyle? Are we maintaining a healthy lifestyle? Did we start that new hobby we’ve so desired? Have we developed some new personal relationships that will make us happy as we move forward?
Goals are important for us to have. They make it crystal clear what we want to accomplish over the long term. Our ideas and thoughts change over time and our goals can be upgraded or changed, but generally our original desires will remain in place. And basically that’s to have enough money and to be happy.
So will you join Gary and I in the 100 Day Finish Strong Challenge?
The 100 Day Finish Strong Challenge is a structured performance improvement program where challengers compete against themselves to achieve a number of challenging goals and finish the year strong.
