New Day New Results Goal Setting Guide: Nothing Changes Until Something Is Written!

by Greg Gilbert

“If we could take a brush, and paint a portrait of our years, Would it hang for all to see, or be ruined by shame and tears?” Lyric of a song by Greg Gilbert “Nothing changes until something is written!” – Greg Gilbert Think about that statement. When it is written, it becomes real. It displays a higher degree of seriousness. It probably began when you sent or received a note in grade school that said “I like you”. In fact, most discipline systems at companies begin with a verbal warning and then progress to a “Written” warning if improvement is not made. Think about what would change if you received any of these written • Note from school on your child’s behavior • Speeding ticket • Lung cancer diagnosis to a smoker • Diagnosis of diabetes • Written letter of discipline at work • Notice of termination at work • Written request for a divorce from your spouse. Would things change upon receipt of any of these? Now, here is the most important question. Are any of these written examples a result of an overnight occurrence? Probably not! If you want to argue this fact then you are not ready for “New Day, New Results"™ - Goal Setting Guide”. You MUST be in a mode of personal responsibility and growth for “New Day, New Results"™ - Goal Setting Guide” to be effective. They are probably a result of long established patterns in our life and ignoring basic success principles. The same is true for receiving a letter of appreciation or certificate of completion. This is the result of continued habits. It’s not that difficult but it must be “INTENTIONAL”. How is that “accidental” success in marriage, career, finance or your health working for you? We must become “brilliant in the basics”! It must be written, simple to follow and continued as long as you desire growth and improvement in any aspect of your life. There will come a time in your life that you will get frustrated. This frustration could and may grow to full blown anger. You may be there now. More than likely, this frustration/anger will be triggered by dissatisfaction in the health, finances, career, or family areas of your life. Maybe even all of the above. If this frustration / anger is pointed at others and you are throwing blame balls at someone else, “New Day, New Results"™ - Goal Setting Guide” is not for you. You MUST be frustrated / angry with yourself. If you are reading this on the web site, don’t order it. If someone bought this for you, don’t complete it. It will not be accurate if you are in denial of who is in control of your life. Put it in follow-up. Pull this out when you are ready to take personal responsibility for your life and make a change. Trust me, this time will come. The system of relying on others or the government to change your life is not a best seller. Now, a message to the people that I’m really excited about. These are the ones that have taken responsibility for their life. Things are going their way for the most part but they are ready to grow and improve in some or all aspects of their life. You will enjoy this program and the journey.
