The Los Angeles Times printed an article today that might help some folks to stick with their New Year Resolutions by 'putting their money where their resolution is'. The article, 'Lose Weight? Bet On It', by Ian Ayres - LATimesArticleJanuary272007.pdf , urges us to promise a friend or colleague that we will make and keep a resolution (lose weight and keep it off for instance), and back that promise up with a commitment contract - i.e. put money as risk each week in a bet of sorts. If we fail to meet the goal, our friend wins the bet and reaps the cash. It's an interesting idea.
Here at IResolveTo.Com, I urge folks to make just one resolution about which they have great interest and desire. Instead of doing something that you 'don't want to do - do something that you would truly love to do - pursue a dream!
If you really want to succeed, start with your dream. Turn that dream into a concise, specific, one sentence resolution. Make that resolution a reality with daily goals for a year. That's the I Resolve To . . . Formula For Success:
Dream + Resolution + Daily Goals = Success, Reward & Fulfillment.
I also urge folks to sign the I Resolve To Promise - IResolveToPromise.pdf - which includes 10 simple, common sense Do's and Don'ts to use as a system for achieving your dream, resolution and daily goals.
