Success means you "Have To" have written Goals!!!

Written Goals!

This chart says that only 3% of the population has written goals & Plans BUT they earned 10X's those without goals! Amazing!!  

The result of the Harvard written goal study!

Have you heard of this study? I had and I find the conclusion is true but the study is not. I follow a fellow by the name of Sid Savara and he did the research and found there was no Harvard or Yale study but in fact at the Dominican University by Gail Matthews, PhD

 The positive effect of written goals was supported: Those who wrote their goals accomplished significantly more than those who did not write their goals.

You "Have To" hear about "Owner-Less" trend discussed in www.trendwatching.com. They discuss the re-emergence of fractional ownership and lifestyle leasing business models .
It is more about the experience than ownership. You can experience more and own less! Have you used a Zipcar??? Have you shared or traded a home? Rented a gown? New word: OWNER-LESS.

Hey! Take a look at annstuff.com and learn about the "Zen of Have To!"

The Zen of "Have To"

The Zen of "Have To"
My "Have To" yesterday was quite mild. ... I had to watch American Idol. I wasn't going to...but I had to.  I wanted to see how the new panel did.  For my opinion, I liked it.  I like the kinder, milder approach.  Jennifer was easy to watch and Steve was quirky.  The real "proof in the pudding" will be the contestants they put together for the show. I have found the last few years would have been a complete yawn without Simon because the contestants were not engaging, exciting even entertaining. So can it now be about the contestants not the judges. you "Have To" tell me what you think.

Why is January so Long?

We "Have To" help January as a month. It lasts too long, the weather is too ugly and it follows a month of holidays. How do we make January more fun?  Do we look at it as the month we regroup, reinvent and reinvigorate? Do we look at it as the month we return the gifts we did not want and get the things we do want at better prices? Is it the month we plan our next vacation?

I improved my January with the iPad I had to have.  Having missed Cyber- Monday. I purchased a refurbished  model 32G WiFi for a remarkable savings at the Apple website.  I have had a great time this month getting familiar with all that it can do for me as a blogger!

How would you improve your January if you had to???

The Zen of "Have To"

The Zen of "Have To"

It is the new year and we all feel we "have to" get back in shape. I am addressing that with Zumba. I love it because I love to dance and therefore I do not feel like I am exercising. It also helps that I am in a class because I drive myself harder than if I do exercise at home.
How about you?
