Good advise, Dale! :)

Mat,

Good comments about making yourself uncomfortable. Some people say you should do something that makes you uncomfortable daily. I don't disagree, but I can't say that I make it happen with that kind of frequency.

Then again, some stretches are more powerful than others. A few things I pushed myself to do this year that I didn't know if I could beforehand:

1) climb to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro and
2) jump out of a plane at 10,000+ ft!

a few other things I've pushed myself to do over the last few years:

3) walk across glowing, hot coals
4) break a brick bare-handed
5) lie on a bed of nails
6) break a beer bottle bare-handed
7) execute a full side split between chairs (like Van Damme)

and numerous other lesser "victories!"

I realize that none of this has anything to do with real estate, but I enjoy challenging myself to my psychological, as well as physical limits & I look back on my achievements and think, "Hell, if I can do ____, I can certainly do _____." My 2 cents. :D

Charles--I don't know about synopsis, but....Flight Plan likens goal setting (and achieving) to being a pilot that goes through a pre-flight, in-flight and post-flight checklist. I know that probably sounds simplistic, but it does talk about more than that, as important as that is itself. It also goes into activating the Superconscious mind to help find ways to blow through obstacles in the path to goal achievement; imagining worse-case scenarios and how to deal with those, etc.

Eat That Frog was a fun read that talks about how every goal can be broken down to smaller steps. Most of us know that. Now these smaller steps aren't of equal value: some of these steps taken will more quickly and powerfully propel you toward you goal achievement than others, but these are often the more difficult steps to take. He (Brian Tracy) likens these difficult steps to eating a big, ugly, hairy frog. If you can down one or more of those, you are well on your way to goal achievement success! I know that maybe doesn't make the most sense or sounds like that most enticing book, but I really did find it helpful and like I mentioned before, it was a fun read! :)

I know that my comments don't really do either book justice, but I hope someone finds then useful.

Bryan--Sorry, no input on the book. Just wanted to let you know I'll be anxiously awaiting the rants, though! :)

Marc--Nice! Thanks for sharing! BTW, that looks like a pretty intense profile pic! :)

Jayme-- Sounds like some good lessons learned, some of them the hard way, eh?

Who's next?

Jon--Good point about the repeat visits.

And thanks to those commenting about my question regarding the $1 Billion of debt! Keep them coming in!

I'm a big Brian Tracy fan and for goal setting (and successful achievement!), I recommend his 2 books/audio books Eat That Frog and Flight Plan.

Bryan---drawing a blank regarding the movie.

Charles-- someone else mentioned that I make it a new thread & I wasn't sure. I thought I'd continue it here & see how it went, but I may just make it a new thread after all.

I'm fascinated by how many members are curious enough to view this thread (over 1100 times), yet are apparently opinion-less as only about 55 or 60 comments have been left.

Dale--Is it possible to give Bryan a negative vote on that last remark? ;)
