To Clear Up Confusion About 101 Goal Setting Breakthroughs
Posted under Announcements, Goals and Goal Setting, ThoughtsA lot of people are emailing and posting comments about the missing parts of 101 Goal Setting Breakthroughs: A 31 Day Blog Series That Will Make 2008 Your Best Year Ever!
If you feel you are missing parts there are two reasons:
1 I used a template that posted the wrong numbers to some of the tips.
2. I wasn’t clear to you about how the tips would be presented and counted.
I still have the rest to post (I know, I know I’m late!) I am usually slammed, but this has been the busiest January of my entire life. Regretfully I am running 2 or 3 days behind on the posts.
How the series changed…
Quality: When I first embarked on this journey, I figured I’d do two to four posts a day consisting of one paragraph tips. Instead, when I started getting into it, I started having a great time. Most of the posts exceed 500 words. And I feel that many of them are some of the best in this blog’s history.
Reader response has born this out and inspired me keep with quality over quickness.
I understand some of you, because of shyness or fear of public scrutiny, decided to email me directly instead of posting your comments. I especially enjoyed hearing stories of how one of the breakthroughs came just at the perfect moment and you were able to solve a problem in the nick of time.
More emails revealed the confused sadness over the loss of a love and how one of the articles “turned on all the lights” for you. Candidly, I am not sure which post you are speaking of, but that’s ok. I often enter a state of “writing flow” where the words race onto the page as if I am transcribing them from some other source. I believe the flow state involves sensory memory, which is fleeting and gone. I’ve learned to trust this state of streamwriting.
Without trying to sound like a complete nut job, some of the posts were so completely inspired, I can’t necessarily remember what I said. However, I am happy the posts have helped you. That is, after all, the whole point of this blog.
So although I am disappointed it’s talking longer than I thought, the results are much better than I had hoped for.
Compiling all the information…
When I am done I’ll compile them all into one humongous post. it won’t contain all the content from the posts in the series. Instead it will have the title of the tip, a short blurb and a link to the larger posting. That way we’ll all be on the same page :)
Thanks for reading, I am glad you are here!

Good idea to compile them. I’ll keep an eye out for that and will enjoy reviewing these all over again! Thanks!
I LOVE this idea … I’ve been going through the whole thing writing them down. Thank you!
