"Helping You Keep Your Path Focused, Your
Life Meaningful, and Moving You Closer to
Your Goals Each and Every Day of the Year"

By Gary Ryan Blair,
The Goals Guy

Dear Friend,

Are you an eternal optimist? Do you sit down every year for five minutes and wish for that promotion? Wish you could fit into that pair of pants? Wish you found your Soul Mate? Wish your credit card balance was zero? Wish you weren't so rushed and worn out?

Then six months later, find yourself in the same position -- or worse?

I'm concerned -- no make that worried -- that the the New Year will be here soon and you will be making those annual New Year's Resolutions, and once again NONE of the resolutions you made LAST year will even come close to happening.

What's the point in that?

Yes, I know... New Year's Resolutions have an 85% failure rate. In fact most people drop off before the first month even comes to a close. Who wants to be in that majority? Not me. And I'll bet - not you either.

Imagine, just for a minute...

It's 90 days from now. And your major goals have been achieved.

It doesn't matter what the goal is: You lost those 10 pounds (or more!). Wanted a new job? Checked off! Debt? Gone! Needed to organize your office? Done! Free time? Lots! ...and best of all, you discover you are achieving your new goals faster than ever before!

Sound crazy, or impossible? Then keep reading...

Every year around this time I get hundreds and hundreds of requests for interviews from major TV, radio, magazine and newspaper reporters. The list is long and includes: USA Today, NY Daily News, NY Times, Chicago Star-Tribune, Barron's, LA Times, Las Vegas Sun, Houston Chronicle, Boston Globe, Atlanta Journal, Seattle Times, Washington Post. CNN, BBC, and other networks feature my success in helping people like you achieve your goals.

Over the past decade I've become an expert at helping people set and keep their goals. They even call me the "Goals Guy." I've discovered how to almost "trick" people into automatically accomplishing more... by paying careful attention to how people tick and what motivates them to take action.

Life Will Not Go According to Plan . . .
If You Do Not Have a Plan

If you decided you really wanted to go to New York, chances are you would do it. You would choose between driving, flying, or taking a train. In fact, you could probably think of many ways to achieve that goal.

Your next step would be to prepare for the journey. You would pack your bags, buy the airline ticket, water the plants... book your hotel... No doubt you would have a list of steps you needed to complete in order for the trip to go as planned.

Once in New York, you would probably have a great time.

Think about it for a minute...

Every time you set out to do something that is crystal clear in your mind, you take your steps and achieve it. But for some reason, everyone seems to think that this concept does not apply to their lives as a whole. I hear it all the time, "Yes, Gary, I can plan a vacation and get there, but I can't __________ (fill in blank)."

I understand completely why people have this problem. Life can be a complex puzzle that feels overwhelming, to say the least.

But, what if I figured out how to help you solve your puzzle...

What Six Year Old Children Taught
Microsoft and IBM About Goal Setting

One of my favorite exercises with school children, and one of my favorite examples to use with executives at organizations like Microsoft and IBM, involves a simple jigsaw puzzle.

To start the exercise with children, I first divide them up into three groups. I give each group an identical jigsaw puzzle and the same instruction: “This is a timing test. I want you guys to work on this and put it together.” I said, “You can talk, laugh, have a good time. Just you can’t look at the other tables.”

Since I'm teaching a lesson, however, I do one thing differently. The first group gets the puzzle with the right cover (which has the photo of the completed puzzle on it). The second group gets the exact same puzzle, but I take away the top. They had no idea what this thing looked like. I give the third group the same puzzle, but with a zinger. I give them a puzzle top to a different puzzle. The picture doesn't match the puzzle.

How important is it to have a clear vision? You are about to find out.

The kids will typically say something like “No problem.” and get to work.

The first group gets the puzzle done done in about three minutes… done… over with. By this time, group two is usually struggling, but making some progress. About 60% there.

The third group typically has made no progress whatsoever by this point. They are absolutely, completely confused. And they are the most stressed out. I can see that they are really starting to get really agitated.

To the first group, I give a congratulatory remark and ask “How did you put that puzzle together so quickly?” The kids respond with something like, “Well, we just kind of looked at the picture in front of us and sort of put it together.”

By the time I'm finished talking with the first group, the second group is usually getting close to done. I'll ask the second group, "How did you guys do it?"

"Well, we were just going for the corners and that was the best strategy we could come up with. We try to slowly put the…try to figure out what piece would go in there.” It obviously took them a lot longer.

The third group is typically making little progress by this point, and usually the kids are talking about something else or have entirely given up. Then I point out to them that their cover picture looks nothing like the finished puzzle of the other groups.

I will then bring them the correct puzzle top, and they will finish the puzzle very quickly and receive my congratulations. I go on to explain to the kids the lesson they just learned.

How clear is your Vision?

Are you like the kids who had no Vision? Feeling your way tentatively?

Are you like the kids with the wrong Vision? Wondering why you are getting nowhere fast?

Would life be easier if you had a crystal clear Vision like the first group of kids? They are often TWICE as fast as the group with NO Vision.

What is scary is what happened to the group with the wrong Vision...
Hopeless, frustrated, agitated, angry...

Good Planning Doesn't Cost You Time . . .
It Saves You Time!

These same questions are what I ask executives at places like IBM and Microsoft. Are they giving their employees the right puzzle cover, no puzzle cover, or worse, the WRONG puzzle cover...

And I am now asking you:

Is your life like a jumble of puzzle pieces scattered all over the place, while you're
holding the wrong cover?

It is, for most of the people I work with.

The good news is that it is easy to get the right cover. You already have all the answers. They only need to be gently pulled out of you and assembled in an organized fashion. Trust me, I've done it with tens of thousands of others just like you.

Here are some examples. To see more examples of what people are saying about my programs, click here.

"...finally got the job I always wanted!" "I got it, I finally got the job I always wanted, and can't thank you enough for all of your planning insights. None of this would have been possible without your help and your program and to be honest with you, I am blown away by it all. You were absolutely right when you said; Life will not go according to plan if you do not have a plan. I am so glad that I followed your advice and plan. Each step moved me one step closer to my goal, just as you stated, thank you!" ~~Joanie Lintz

Optimize Your Time, Energy and Activities and
Get What You Want Out of Life!

Here are the pieces of your puzzle, do you know what your cover looks like?

Each piece of the puzzle builds on the others. And a major mistake most people make is missing one of the pieces because they underestimate its importance. Remember my example about driving to New York and underestimating the importance of filling up your gas tank?

It wouldn't matter if you did everything else right, would it?

So let's get into all these puzzle pieces in more depth...

Introducing the 2009 Personal Strategic Plan

Personal strategic planning is based on the premise that life will not go according to plan, if you do not have a plan. The benefits of personal strategic planning will help you:

Guide your career for maximum growth and contribution.
Make decisions that positively affect your future.
Clarify your legacy.
Become a better human being that adds value to society.
Focus your energies on what’s most important.
Achieve the greatest results in the shortest period of time.
Significantly increase your level of performance.
Enjoy more time, money, balance and freedom.
Eliminate uncertainty, anxiety, doubt and fear.
Leverage your skills more effectively and efficiently.
Prepare for all life stages including retirement.
Enhance your quality of life, and overall peace of mind
Be more, do more and ultimately have more from life.

And the beautiful thing about Your Strategic Personal Plan is that I have arranged it in an easy-to-implement, step-by-step program...

**Your Personal Strategic Plan** "Everything Counts! One Hour of Planning Saves You Ten Hours of Work!" Your Personal Strategic Plan Master Manual To sum it up, the Personal Strategic Plan Master Manual creates your very own, unique plan to achieve more in 2009, in all areas of your life. And you can complete it in one night... but it can change your life forever. Your Personal Strategic Plan is comprised of twelve Goal Accelerating sections: I. Vision Statement II. Legacy Statement III. Mission Statement IV. Personal Philosophy V. Core Values VI. Code of Ethics VII. Goals VIII. Plans, Strategies, and Timelines IX. Themes X. Personal Board of Directors XI. Personal Maintenance & Performance Check-Up XII. Personal Reasons Why Like I said before, I made this fast and easy for you. Gary Ryan Blair's Very Own Personal Strategic Plan Here is my Personal Strategic Plan. I am a firm believer in modeling. So I wanted to give you the opportunity to see exactly how I write out, set up and implement my own plan. You'll be able to see how I structure my Vision Statement, Core Values, Themes, Plans, Strategies and Timelines. Personal Balance Profile The Personal Balance Profile is designed to help you evaluate your life on the characteristics taught in The Personal Strategic Planning Program (PSP). The purpose of the profile is to help you gain a better understanding of how you are performing in the ten life areas discussed in the program. The Balance Wheel gives you immediate visual feedback on where you are in your life.   Personal Reality Check The Personal Reality Check allows you the opportunity to review your Balance Profile with a close eye. Now that your current life’s reality is identified, we can analyze each of the ten life areas with clarity of purpose. What you are striving for are the thoughts, feelings, beliefs, experiences, actions and patterns that make up your given score and current reality in each category. This is where you learn and use the GoalsGuy Continuum...

With Your Personal Strategic Plan, the only limit to the goals you can achieve is your imagination.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: You've arrived at this page just in time to take advantage of my special "Personal Strategic Plan" Version 2009 launch celebration offer.

Not only am I going to give you a series of SUPER BONUSES to keep, no matter what you decide... I've ALSO decided to send you the entire package, PLUS a free one-month membership in my Circle of Excellence Members-Only site for the very reasonable investment of just $97.00.

... Just a small fraction of what I charge for a one-hour phone consultation with me... or the $12,000 I typically charge for a single day with a Fortune 500 company.

And the truth is, you're really getting a lot more; I could never cram all of this into a single hour on the phone -- or even a weekend seminar!

But I wanted to make sure Your Personal Strategic Plan is accessible to REAL people -- like Katie, Audrey, Lynne ... and YOU!

The Four “Simple Little Secrets” to
Achieving Your Goals

This is something I'm REALLY EXCITED about!

As part of my Personal Strategic Plan 2009 Launch Celebration, I'm going to give you four very special reports...

**Four Powerful Special Reports** "You'll Be on Your Way to Achieving Your Goals!" Special Report #1: New Year‘s Resolutions How to Make Them—How to Keep Them! Discover The Five Stages of Successful Resolutions Learn the four guidelines to help you achieve all of your New Year’s Resolutions Complete the “Resolution Contract” Far too many people have had a bad experience when it comes to achieving their resolutions. Most of us make them, intend to achieve them, and unfortunately break them before we ever get a chance to see change take place. That leads to the thought that resolutions do not work! That’s simply not true! Resolutions do work, goal-setting is a highly effective tool, and change is possible, but only if you know the right way to approach it. This Special Report will help you achieve every resolution you make!   Special Report #2: Leapfrogging A Strategy for Exponential Growth Would you like to know the secret to rapidly and significantly increasing your performance? Would you like to learn how to make progress by large jumps instead of small increments? Would you like to create a sudden, courageous, and monumental change, change on a grand scale that will revolutionize your life and those around you forever? If you answered “Yes,” then you’re ready to leapfrog to the next level!   Special Report #3: Master Mind Secrets A Master Mind is the coordination of knowledge and effort harmoniously between two or more people to achieve a specific goal. By leveraging the know-how and experience of others, you dramatically cut down the time and effort required for success. In this Special Report, you will learn how to make the most of your Master Mind.   Special Report #4: Be Your Own Brand: Creating Celebrity Status with Your Target Audience Your personal brand is the firm impression or fixed image that comes to mind when people think of you. A personal brand is the mental picture that people conjure up when your name is mentioned. For any business or individual to become truly successful, positive brand recognition is a necessary component. This report explains how to build and develop Brand You through your own step-by-step branding blueprint.

Recently, we made your Personal Strategic Plan an even more powerful learning and goal-achieving resource, by adding what we call "A Ten-Pack of Power Surges." A "Power Surge" is a concise, inspirational audio report designed to teach a concept that will help you achieve your goals.

**A Ten-Pack of Power Surges** "An Extraordinary Combination of Goal Achieving Shortcuts You Will Not Find Anywhere Else" Weapons of Mass Production: These weapons are possessed by all high achievers and are designed to help you construct the winning attitude required to remain competitive and achieve any goal. Top performers use them all the time, now you can, too! Be unreasonable and adopt Weapons of Mass Production!   Big Bang: Big BANG is an acronym for Big Bold, Ambitious, Noble Goal. Applying the Big BANG formula to your life or career can allow you to create monumental, quantum-leap performance and profitability gains.   Energy Management: Managing energy, not time, is the key to success. Everything we do -- from interacting with colleagues and making important decisions to spending time with our family requires energy.   The Power of Boldness: Boldness is a spirited word that eloquently describes bravery. It takes a great deal of boldness to confront and tackle the issues in today's society with a straightforward approach.   Do it Right the First Time: Success is far easier than failure and in this lesson, you'll learn 21 reasons why it's paramount that you do things once.   Create a Sense of Urgency: We can achieve true greatness only after we develop a sense of urgency and importance about what we are doing - urgency to the extent that getting results and achieving our goals is a matter of life or death.   Best in Show: There is absolutely no inherent value in mediocrity and we should all consider adopting the highest standards of behavior, habits and attitudes to ensure that we live and consistently operate at the highest level of our capabilities.   Discipline - The Aristotle Way: To experience true freedom, you must prove to yourself that you are the master of your own destiny. Never are you less free than when you are held hostage by your excuses and lack of discipline.   Passion, Purpose, and Potential: Passion is hard-core devotion to a person or cause; it infuses life with meaning, joy, and unbridled enthusiasm. Passion is desire in your heart, fire in your belly, an indispensable virtue that is far more valuable than money, power or fame.   Keep Your Promises: Promises present themselves in delineations of black and white. You either honor your promises or you don't. Success is the result of making and keeping promises to yourself and others

What could be better than making a commitment to yourself – right now – that 2009 will be the year you achieve all your goals?
