The jig is up come on admit it You know yoursquore a knucklehead Why else would you be reading a manifesto on knuckleheads if you werenrsquot a knucklehead

The way I see it this manifesto is in your hands for one of three reasons

bull A friend or family member gave you a copy because they think yoursquore a knucklehead

bull A boss or co-worker gave you a copy because they are convinced yoursquore a knucklehead

bull You raided the piggy bank coughed up a few bucks and bought a copy for yourself because you KNOW yoursquore a knucklehead

Hello Knucklehead

It is the proverbial banana peel that we step on that slows us down beats us up or worse yet prevents us from achieving our goals

Knuckleheads fall madly in love head over heels go-go ga-ga about behavior that does not deliver any results ndash at least any results worth bragging about

Consider this question acuteKGRSHRSOHHQJDJHLQDEHKDYLRUJHW ORXVUHVXOWVDQGWKHQJRULJKWRQUHSHDWLQJWKHVDPHEHKDYLRUDOORYHUDJDLQmicro Why Because theyrsquore knuckleheads

You know who you are You know more about right and wrong than anyone else Yoursquove read the books taken the courses bought the tapes and watched the videos but yoursquore still a knucklehead

Now Irsquom not here to tell you to ignore all of the advice that yoursquove ever been given I would tell you that but yoursquore already too far-gone to hear that argument Instead Irsquom just going to give you a few lessons that signal danger like sitting in a metal chair in the middle of a lightning storm

Scoff if you want Dismiss me if you will But ignore me at your own risk and you ignore powerful signs at your own peril Got it knucklehead

This manifesto is also for all those know-it-alls who think they supposedly have it all together who know everything You know who you are - judge jury and executioner of all that is right and wrong If thatrsquos your view Irsquove got news for you yoursquore a knucklehead just for thinking that way

This powerful little report will poke you in the eye jab you in the ribs kick you in the shins and sock you in the belly when you engage in knucklehead behavior

The principles for both success and failure are surprisingly similar Success and failure are the result of daily disciplines that are practiced consistently the difference is the type of disciplines or behaviors that are practiced

Yoursquove picked up this report so I assume yoursquore interested in getting out of the peanut gallery of life by learning how to succeed through the power of goal setting This report offers counsel and coaching for the bold not the timid Following your dreams takes far more courage and belief in oneself than you can possibly imaginehellipso you best be prepared

As you read through this report you may be tempted to say ldquoHey GoalsGuy this is really obvious common sense stuffrdquo and Irsquod say acute7KDWmiddotV ULJKWNQXFNOHKHDGQRRQHmiddotVHYHUJRQHEURNHVWDWLQJ WKHREYLRXV However if itrsquos so common sense then why isnrsquot it common practice in your liferdquo

Study a knucklehead on the other hand and you will be studying procrastination in motion

You exercise discipline for the same reason you take a bath - without it you stink You may not be breaking any laws by not disciplining yourself but success requires a higher standard of performance and accountability than that

If how you play is all that matters then why do all sporting activities have some form of a scoreboard The scoreboard is your report card It tells the world (and you) whether you are winning losing or just holding your ground

Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

You must be keenly aware of the importance of maintaining the right image to ensure your professional reputation remains unblemished

Assess the circumstances And donrsquot offer up any excuses Appeal to reason and let people know you appreciate their understanding of the situation You must be direct and retain accountability for the matter by not shifting the responsibility

Keep your wits about you Despite the chaos of the situation swirling around you refuse to become rattled Keep your own sense of what needs to be done and remain as cool as ldquothe other side of the pillowrdquo Then set about dealing with the immediate task at hand one by one in a calm and resourceful manner

People typically understand circumstances getting out of control They do not understand you getting out of control

ULWH(YHUWKLQJRZQ

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

The jig is up come on admit it You know yoursquore a knucklehead Why else would you be reading a manifesto on knuckleheads if you werenrsquot a knucklehead

The way I see it this manifesto is in your hands for one of three reasons

bull A friend or family member gave you a copy because they think yoursquore a knucklehead

bull A boss or co-worker gave you a copy because they are convinced yoursquore a knucklehead

bull You raided the piggy bank coughed up a few bucks and bought a copy for yourself because you KNOW yoursquore a knucklehead

Hello Knucklehead

It is the proverbial banana peel that we step on that slows us down beats us up or worse yet prevents us from achieving our goals

Knuckleheads fall madly in love head over heels go-go ga-ga about behavior that does not deliver any results ndash at least any results worth bragging about

Consider this question acuteKGRSHRSOHHQJDJHLQDEHKDYLRUJHW ORXVUHVXOWVDQGWKHQJRULJKWRQUHSHDWLQJWKHVDPHEHKDYLRUDOORYHUDJDLQmicro Why Because theyrsquore knuckleheads

You know who you are You know more about right and wrong than anyone else Yoursquove read the books taken the courses bought the tapes and watched the videos but yoursquore still a knucklehead

Now Irsquom not here to tell you to ignore all of the advice that yoursquove ever been given I would tell you that but yoursquore already too far-gone to hear that argument Instead Irsquom just going to give you a few lessons that signal danger like sitting in a metal chair in the middle of a lightning storm

Scoff if you want Dismiss me if you will But ignore me at your own risk and you ignore powerful signs at your own peril Got it knucklehead

This manifesto is also for all those know-it-alls who think they supposedly have it all together who know everything You know who you are - judge jury and executioner of all that is right and wrong If thatrsquos your view Irsquove got news for you yoursquore a knucklehead just for thinking that way

The principles for both success and failure are surprisingly similar Success and failure are the result of daily disciplines that are practiced consistently the difference is the type of disciplines or behaviors that are practiced

Lost or wasted time cannot be recovered Time is an unrecoverable asset gone forever the moment it passes Once a second is behind you it cannot be replicated recaptured or returned

A direct correlation exists between your effectiveness in a meeting and the amount of advance preparation you do for the meeting

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions

This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

It is the proverbial banana peel that we step on that slows us down beats us up or worse yet prevents us from achieving our goals

Knuckleheads fall madly in love head over heels go-go ga-ga about behavior that does not deliver any results ndash at least any results worth bragging about

Consider this question acuteKGRSHRSOHHQJDJHLQDEHKDYLRUJHW ORXVUHVXOWVDQGWKHQJRULJKWRQUHSHDWLQJWKHVDPHEHKDYLRUDOORYHUDJDLQmicro Why Because theyrsquore knuckleheads

You know who you are You know more about right and wrong than anyone else Yoursquove read the books taken the courses bought the tapes and watched the videos but yoursquore still a knucklehead

Now Irsquom not here to tell you to ignore all of the advice that yoursquove ever been given I would tell you that but yoursquore already too far-gone to hear that argument Instead Irsquom just going to give you a few lessons that signal danger like sitting in a metal chair in the middle of a lightning storm

Scoff if you want Dismiss me if you will But ignore me at your own risk and you ignore powerful signs at your own peril Got it knucklehead

This manifesto is also for all those know-it-alls who think they supposedly have it all together who know everything You know who you are - judge jury and executioner of all that is right and wrong If thatrsquos your view Irsquove got news for you yoursquore a knucklehead just for thinking that way

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads

Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

You must be keenly aware of the importance of maintaining the right image to ensure your professional reputation remains unblemished

Assess the circumstances And donrsquot offer up any excuses Appeal to reason and let people know you appreciate their understanding of the situation You must be direct and retain accountability for the matter by not shifting the responsibility

Keep your wits about you Despite the chaos of the situation swirling around you refuse to become rattled Keep your own sense of what needs to be done and remain as cool as ldquothe other side of the pillowrdquo Then set about dealing with the immediate task at hand one by one in a calm and resourceful manner

People typically understand circumstances getting out of control They do not understand you getting out of control

ULWH(YHUWKLQJRZQ

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it

The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

Lost or wasted time cannot be recovered Time is an unrecoverable asset gone forever the moment it passes Once a second is behind you it cannot be replicated recaptured or returned

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions

This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

19 Create a sense of urgency Perhaps the best thing you can do for yourself is to set a match under all activities and get busy now

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads

Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

19 Create a sense of urgency Perhaps the best thing you can do for yourself is to set a match under all activities and get busy now

20 Say ldquonordquo to interruptions and time wasters A large part of goal setting is saying yes to what you want and no to everything else

22 Always focus on results In the end that is all that matters

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads

Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

A direct correlation exists between your effectiveness in a meeting and the amount of advance preparation you do for the meeting

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions

This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

The tragedy of the average knucklehead is that they have become dependent on the deception and false beliefs associated with making excuses I know of no enemy more insidious or vicious than excuses An enemy poses a clear and present danger to your future

Excuses are to a knucklehead what spin is to a politician a clever yet lame way to smooth over bad news or some undesirable reality The truth is no one is buying it and you know yoursquore full of beans

Few things are more uncomfortable than being confronted with the reality of your own sorry excuses The excuse of using excuses is a behaviorally transmitted disease that inhibits the inherent potential of anyone that comes in contact with them

So why do knuckleheads become such easy prey for an excuse when bringing home the bacon was what was expected of them Why do they continue to rely on such lame rational which undermines their potential and destroys their reputation Why do they continue to dine on this junk food of behavior Why Because theyrsquore knuckleheads Thatrsquos why

Study anyone who has achieved a measure of greatness and you will be studying discipline in motion Discipline is the cornerstone of self-mastery

Study a knucklehead on the other hand and you will be studying procrastination in motion

You exercise discipline for the same reason you take a bath - without it you stink You may not be breaking any laws by not disciplining yourself but success requires a higher standard of performance and accountability than that

If how you play is all that matters then why do all sporting activities have some form of a scoreboard The scoreboard is your report card It tells the world (and you) whether you are winning losing or just holding your ground

Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

If how you play is all that matters then why do all sporting activities have some form of a scoreboard The scoreboard is your report card It tells the world (and you) whether you are winning losing or just holding your ground

Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

ULWH(YHUWKLQJRZQ

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads

Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

The tragedy of the average knucklehead is that they have become dependent on the deception and false beliefs associated with making excuses I know of no enemy more insidious or vicious than excuses An enemy poses a clear and present danger to your future

Excuses are to a knucklehead what spin is to a politician a clever yet lame way to smooth over bad news or some undesirable reality The truth is no one is buying it and you know yoursquore full of beans

Few things are more uncomfortable than being confronted with the reality of your own sorry excuses The excuse of using excuses is a behaviorally transmitted disease that inhibits the inherent potential of anyone that comes in contact with them

Study anyone who has achieved a measure of greatness and you will be studying discipline in motion Discipline is the cornerstone of self-mastery

Study a knucklehead on the other hand and you will be studying procrastination in motion

If how you play is all that matters then why do all sporting activities have some form of a scoreboard The scoreboard is your report card It tells the world (and you) whether you are winning losing or just holding your ground

Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it

The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

Lost or wasted time cannot be recovered Time is an unrecoverable asset gone forever the moment it passes Once a second is behind you it cannot be replicated recaptured or returned

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions

This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

You canrsquot excuse yourself out of a mess that you behaved yourself into Donrsquot lie or BS people with some sorry excuse for why you didnrsquot deliver the intended results Trust me they see right through it which makes you look like an even bigger knucklehead

Few things are more uncomfortable than being confronted with the reality of your own sorry excuses The excuse of using excuses is a behaviorally transmitted disease that inhibits the inherent potential of anyone that comes in contact with them

So why do knuckleheads become such easy prey for an excuse when bringing home the bacon was what was expected of them Why do they continue to rely on such lame rational which undermines their potential and destroys their reputation Why do they continue to dine on this junk food of behavior Why Because theyrsquore knuckleheads Thatrsquos why

Study anyone who has achieved a measure of greatness and you will be studying discipline in motion Discipline is the cornerstone of self-mastery

Study a knucklehead on the other hand and you will be studying procrastination in motion

You exercise discipline for the same reason you take a bath - without it you stink You may not be breaking any laws by not disciplining yourself but success requires a higher standard of performance and accountability than that

If how you play is all that matters then why do all sporting activities have some form of a scoreboard The scoreboard is your report card It tells the world (and you) whether you are winning losing or just holding your ground

Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

You must be keenly aware of the importance of maintaining the right image to ensure your professional reputation remains unblemished

Assess the circumstances And donrsquot offer up any excuses Appeal to reason and let people know you appreciate their understanding of the situation You must be direct and retain accountability for the matter by not shifting the responsibility

Keep your wits about you Despite the chaos of the situation swirling around you refuse to become rattled Keep your own sense of what needs to be done and remain as cool as ldquothe other side of the pillowrdquo Then set about dealing with the immediate task at hand one by one in a calm and resourceful manner

People typically understand circumstances getting out of control They do not understand you getting out of control

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

Study anyone who has achieved a measure of greatness and you will be studying discipline in motion Discipline is the cornerstone of self-mastery

Study a knucklehead on the other hand and you will be studying procrastination in motion

You exercise discipline for the same reason you take a bath - without it you stink You may not be breaking any laws by not disciplining yourself but success requires a higher standard of performance and accountability than that

If how you play is all that matters then why do all sporting activities have some form of a scoreboard The scoreboard is your report card It tells the world (and you) whether you are winning losing or just holding your ground

Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it

The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

If how you play is all that matters then why do all sporting activities have some form of a scoreboard The scoreboard is your report card It tells the world (and you) whether you are winning losing or just holding your ground

Keeping score and evaluating your progress is vital to success It not only documents your true progress it also serves as a standard by which a person team or company can gauge itself against the competition

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

A direct correlation exists between your effectiveness in a meeting and the amount of advance preparation you do for the meeting

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions

This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

19 Create a sense of urgency Perhaps the best thing you can do for yourself is to set a match under all activities and get busy now

20 Say ldquonordquo to interruptions and time wasters A large part of goal setting is saying yes to what you want and no to everything else

22 Always focus on results In the end that is all that matters

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads

Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

Assess the circumstances And donrsquot offer up any excuses Appeal to reason and let people know you appreciate their understanding of the situation You must be direct and retain accountability for the matter by not shifting the responsibility

Keep your wits about you Despite the chaos of the situation swirling around you refuse to become rattled Keep your own sense of what needs to be done and remain as cool as ldquothe other side of the pillowrdquo Then set about dealing with the immediate task at hand one by one in a calm and resourceful manner

People typically understand circumstances getting out of control They do not understand you getting out of control

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

A direct correlation exists between your effectiveness in a meeting and the amount of advance preparation you do for the meeting

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions

This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it

The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

Lost or wasted time cannot be recovered Time is an unrecoverable asset gone forever the moment it passes Once a second is behind you it cannot be replicated recaptured or returned

You can make adjustments immediately to improve how you manage yours and othersrsquo time

bull Start every conversation by asking ldquoIs this a good timerdquo

Doing so shows respect and courtesy and is the mark of a professional

A direct correlation exists between your effectiveness in a meeting and the amount of advance preparation you do for the meeting

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions

This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it

The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

Lost or wasted time cannot be recovered Time is an unrecoverable asset gone forever the moment it passes Once a second is behind you it cannot be replicated recaptured or returned

A direct correlation exists between your effectiveness in a meeting and the amount of advance preparation you do for the meeting

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions

This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it

The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

Yoursquove no doubt heard that expression and yoursquove also used it as well Take this opportunity to put a dollar value on your time Most people have no idea what their time is actually worth

Just as you value your own time you must respect the value of other peoplersquos time as well Being late for a meeting dinner engagement or appointment is not only rude it also tells the other person with whom you are dealing that you believe their time is worthless

The utter disrespect knuckleheads have for other peoplersquos time is an abomination and the chances are slim that people will want to do business with them ever again By not respecting othersrsquo time they lose the respect of others

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it

The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

Lost or wasted time cannot be recovered Time is an unrecoverable asset gone forever the moment it passes Once a second is behind you it cannot be replicated recaptured or returned

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions

This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

Just as you value your own time you must respect the value of other peoplersquos time as well Being late for a meeting dinner engagement or appointment is not only rude it also tells the other person with whom you are dealing that you believe their time is worthless

The utter disrespect knuckleheads have for other peoplersquos time is an abomination and the chances are slim that people will want to do business with them ever again By not respecting othersrsquo time they lose the respect of others

Action Place a dollar value on every minute of your day and before embarking on ANY activity ask yourself whether the results you hope to accomplish are worth the time in real dollars that you have to spend

Time has always been an elusive concept for most people You know how it is measured and know that you never seem to get enough of it but you probably have no idea what time really is and how it relates to the other elements of getting results and achieving goals

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it

The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

Lost or wasted time cannot be recovered Time is an unrecoverable asset gone forever the moment it passes Once a second is behind you it cannot be replicated recaptured or returned

A direct correlation exists between your effectiveness in a meeting and the amount of advance preparation you do for the meeting

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions

This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Yoursquove no doubt heard that expression and yoursquove also used it as well Take this opportunity to put a dollar value on your time Most people have no idea what their time is actually worth

Just as you value your own time you must respect the value of other peoplersquos time as well Being late for a meeting dinner engagement or appointment is not only rude it also tells the other person with whom you are dealing that you believe their time is worthless

The utter disrespect knuckleheads have for other peoplersquos time is an abomination and the chances are slim that people will want to do business with them ever again By not respecting othersrsquo time they lose the respect of others

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it

The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

Lost or wasted time cannot be recovered Time is an unrecoverable asset gone forever the moment it passes Once a second is behind you it cannot be replicated recaptured or returned

A direct correlation exists between your effectiveness in a meeting and the amount of advance preparation you do for the meeting

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions

This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

Schedules are a bit like budget projections when you get right down to it they are well-intended educated guesses A schedule is a road map a practical prediction of the future Like all predictions a schedule is not perfect nor should anyone expect it to be Schedules are best-guess scenarios You can however hone certain skills to improve your accuracy and to make your guesses the best they can be

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it

The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

Lost or wasted time cannot be recovered Time is an unrecoverable asset gone forever the moment it passes Once a second is behind you it cannot be replicated recaptured or returned

You can make adjustments immediately to improve how you manage yours and othersrsquo time

bull Start every conversation by asking ldquoIs this a good timerdquo

Doing so shows respect and courtesy and is the mark of a professional

bull 2IIHUDWLPHOLPLWDQGVSHFLAgraveFDJHQGDLQDGYDQFH

Being unprepared for a meeting is the mark of a knucklehead Arriving unprepared is worse than missing the meeting altogether it is the equivalent of arriving at a restaurant in the nude Missing the meeting leaves everyone wondering if you are inept showing up unprepared removes all doubt

A direct correlation exists between your effectiveness in a meeting and the amount of advance preparation you do for the meeting

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions

This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

You must be keenly aware of the importance of maintaining the right image to ensure your professional reputation remains unblemished

Assess the circumstances And donrsquot offer up any excuses Appeal to reason and let people know you appreciate their understanding of the situation You must be direct and retain accountability for the matter by not shifting the responsibility

Keep your wits about you Despite the chaos of the situation swirling around you refuse to become rattled Keep your own sense of what needs to be done and remain as cool as ldquothe other side of the pillowrdquo Then set about dealing with the immediate task at hand one by one in a calm and resourceful manner

People typically understand circumstances getting out of control They do not understand you getting out of control

ULWH(YHUWKLQJRZQ

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

Consider an airplane for a moment When a plane leaves the gate with one or more empty seats the value of that seat immediately drops to $000 and it becomes an unrecoverable asset Once the plane lifts off the opportunity to sell that seat is gone forever and the airline has absolutely no chance of getting a penny for it

The value of an airline seat is directly relates to whether it is occupied Whether the price is $40000 or $4000 the seat has value only if there is a person sitting in it After takeoff the chance for payment is history

Lost or wasted time cannot be recovered Time is an unrecoverable asset gone forever the moment it passes Once a second is behind you it cannot be replicated recaptured or returned

A direct correlation exists between your effectiveness in a meeting and the amount of advance preparation you do for the meeting

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions

This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

ULWH(YHUWKLQJRZQ

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

Doing so shows respect and courtesy and is the mark of a professional

A direct correlation exists between your effectiveness in a meeting and the amount of advance preparation you do for the meeting

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions

This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

Being unprepared for a meeting is the mark of a knucklehead Arriving unprepared is worse than missing the meeting altogether it is the equivalent of arriving at a restaurant in the nude Missing the meeting leaves everyone wondering if you are inept showing up unprepared removes all doubt

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions

This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

A direct correlation exists between your effectiveness in a meeting and the amount of advance preparation you do for the meeting

If you are prepared beforehand you know the salient points before anyone speaks and have enough background information to keep up without asking unnecessary questions

This preparation keeps the meeting moving and keeps all in attendance focused Knuckleheads through lack of preparation drag meetings into time-consuming black holes

You must be keenly aware of the importance of maintaining the right image to ensure your professional reputation remains unblemished

Assess the circumstances And donrsquot offer up any excuses Appeal to reason and let people know you appreciate their understanding of the situation You must be direct and retain accountability for the matter by not shifting the responsibility

Keep your wits about you Despite the chaos of the situation swirling around you refuse to become rattled Keep your own sense of what needs to be done and remain as cool as ldquothe other side of the pillowrdquo Then set about dealing with the immediate task at hand one by one in a calm and resourceful manner

ULWH(YHUWKLQJRZQ

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

Assess the circumstances And donrsquot offer up any excuses Appeal to reason and let people know you appreciate their understanding of the situation You must be direct and retain accountability for the matter by not shifting the responsibility

Keep your wits about you Despite the chaos of the situation swirling around you refuse to become rattled Keep your own sense of what needs to be done and remain as cool as ldquothe other side of the pillowrdquo Then set about dealing with the immediate task at hand one by one in a calm and resourceful manner

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

You must be keenly aware of the importance of maintaining the right image to ensure your professional reputation remains unblemished

Assess the circumstances And donrsquot offer up any excuses Appeal to reason and let people know you appreciate their understanding of the situation You must be direct and retain accountability for the matter by not shifting the responsibility

Keep your wits about you Despite the chaos of the situation swirling around you refuse to become rattled Keep your own sense of what needs to be done and remain as cool as ldquothe other side of the pillowrdquo Then set about dealing with the immediate task at hand one by one in a calm and resourceful manner

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

You must be keenly aware of the importance of maintaining the right image to ensure your professional reputation remains unblemished

Assess the circumstances And donrsquot offer up any excuses Appeal to reason and let people know you appreciate their understanding of the situation You must be direct and retain accountability for the matter by not shifting the responsibility

Keep your wits about you Despite the chaos of the situation swirling around you refuse to become rattled Keep your own sense of what needs to be done and remain as cool as ldquothe other side of the pillowrdquo Then set about dealing with the immediate task at hand one by one in a calm and resourceful manner

People typically understand circumstances getting out of control They do not understand you getting out of control

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

When faced with uncomfortable dilemmas never let your clients subordinates peers or bosses see you succumb to the pressure Never once should you let your clients or adversaries see any evidence of stress behind your calm and collected demeanor

You must be keenly aware of the importance of maintaining the right image to ensure your professional reputation remains unblemished

Assess the circumstances And donrsquot offer up any excuses Appeal to reason and let people know you appreciate their understanding of the situation You must be direct and retain accountability for the matter by not shifting the responsibility

Keep your wits about you Despite the chaos of the situation swirling around you refuse to become rattled Keep your own sense of what needs to be done and remain as cool as ldquothe other side of the pillowrdquo Then set about dealing with the immediate task at hand one by one in a calm and resourceful manner

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

ULWH(YHUWKLQJRZQ

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

ULWH(YHUWKLQJRZQ

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

ULWH(YHUWKLQJRZQ

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

The second you write your goal down on paper you place your credibility on the line it may be only with yourself but thatrsquos where it matters most Isnrsquot that right knucklehead

ULWH(YHUWKLQJRZQ

Get into the habit of writing down every single activity you need to accomplish in a day no matter how small or rudimentary the task Mark the items off the list after they have been accomplished

This act of writing conditions you to making lists and focusing on the tasks

Like most goals in life getting results in your project requires discipline and commitment If you are not accustomed to writing lists planning ahead cleaning up or handling details simply claiming you donrsquot have these skills in you is much easier than making a commitment to change your behavior

If yoursquore committed you must devote yourself to learning and perfecting the craft of achieving greater results You must not fall off the proverbial wagon from that commitment

The Art of Getting Buy-In

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads

Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

If you do not discipline yourself you are sure to be disciplined by others Every act of self-discipline moves you toward your goals and every exception takes you off course Donrsquot believe me huh Chew on this run up your credit cards real high be late on a few payments and see how quickly those companies are to discipline your cute little behind

Do all of us a favor and donrsquot subject the world to another generation of knuckleheads Please Irsquom begging you please teach your kids about the birds and the bees of goal setting and succeeding in life who knows maybe just maybe some of it might sink in

Remember what my grandfather used to say ldquoIf you teach them well in the highchair yoursquoll keep them RXWRIWKHHOHFWULFFKDLUmicro

1 Accept Your Power of Choice

6XFFHVVLVWKHLQWHQWLRQDOSUHPHGLWDWHGXVHRIFKRLFHDQGGHFLVLRQ8QOHVVRXFKRRVHZLWKFHUWDLQWwhat it is you want you accept table scraps by default The quality of your future years is largely determined by the quality of the choices you make when you are young

True and accurate information is essential to success Reality is the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth Deny reality and you will soon discover that life is a game of truth or consequences Tell the truth and demand the truth from others Otherwise you are toast

Excuses are convenient temporary scapegoats Sometime somewhere and somehow they will come back and make things very uncomfortable Dreams die under a burden of excuses they are a character GHAgraveFLHQFZKLFKGHVWURVRXUSRWHQWLDO0DNHDacuteQRH[FXVHVmicroSROLFDQGVWLFNWRLW

Everything you say and do complements or compromises your character Always do the right thing because having character is much more important than being a character When all is said and done all a person has is their character and integrity nothing else really matters

Every thought decision and action moves you closer to or further from your goals Look at it this way if you spend an hour exercising you have just moved north towards a healthier life If you then go and have a greasy cheeseburger and fries you have now gone southhellipgot it

6 Practice Self-Discipline

If you do not discipline yourself you are sure to be disciplined by others Every act of self-discipline moves you toward your goals and every exception takes you off course Donrsquot believe me huh Chew on this run up your credit cards real high be late on a few payments and see how quickly those companies are to discipline your cute little behind

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads

Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

Knuckleheads make the convenient mistake of dismissing bad news They choose to ignore information that is vital to the situation and because of this they are guaranteed to fail Deal with reality not a delusional fantasyland of the way you would like things to be

You canrsquot serve two masters and you cannot pursue multiple goals at the same time Knuckleheads set themselves up for failure by piling their plate too high with multiple agendas and things theyrsquod like to do Pick the most important goal and forget the rest for the time being

Thinking you can achieve a goal without taking action is like thinking you can win the lottery without buying a ticket Engage in behavior that is goal-directed Any other activity is wasteful

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads

Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads

Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

Knuckleheads go down with the ship High-achievers know when to cut their losses and move on They lick their wounds heal quickly and produce the desired results they want Knuckleheads on the other hand wind up in the morgue or on life support There comes a time when quitting and walking away is the smartest thing to do

19 Create a sense of urgency Perhaps the best thing you can do for yourself is to set a match under all activities and get busy now

20 Say ldquonordquo to interruptions and time wasters A large part of goal setting is saying yes to what you want and no to everything else

22 Always focus on results In the end that is all that matters

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads

Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads

Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead

15 Take initiative and avoid procrastinating Purposeful action is the road you must travel to become successful

16 $GYDQFHFRQAgraveGHQWOLQWKHGLUHFWLRQRIRXUGUHDPV$FWDVLILWZHUHLPSRVVLEOHWRIDLO$FWLVif success were guaranteed

17 Measure your progress At the end of each day you must be able to tell if you are winning or losing Inspect your expectations

19 Create a sense of urgency Perhaps the best thing you can do for yourself is to set a match under all activities and get busy now

20 Say ldquonordquo to interruptions and time wasters A large part of goal setting is saying yes to what you want and no to everything else

21 6SHDNDIAgraveUPDWLYHOsup2XVHSRVLWLYHODQJXDJH7DONDERXWZKDWRXZDQWZKRXZDQWLWDQGhow you will get it

22 Always focus on results In the end that is all that matters

I hope you have laughed learned and laughed again while reading Goal Setting for Knuckleheads

Keep this thought in mind that as long as you are alive somewhere somehow sometime when you least expect it you are going to engage in some form of knucklehead behavior And when that happens look in the mirror and smile knowing that you are a genuine knucklehead
