I know goal setting and planning works as I use it in my personal and business life with great results. I have often ask my clients what they wold like to achieve and often they reply, “reduce my debt”. Watching them I always notice how they start to deflate when they think of how much they owe. How can a goal work if it starts off by leaving you feeling deflated or out of your control? it can’t!

A goal must be something that induces good feelings and makes you smile. We all want to reduce our debt but debt often induces fear and goals cannot be driven by fear, rather they need to be driven by desire.

Desire is a good start to goal planning… so what is it you desire? Do you really know, if not start of with a small goal.

Try making one of your goals a pay increase or a promotion at work. That way the increase in money automatically takes care of the debt reduction and the goal also gives you something to strive for. The goal will also give you energy to find a way to get the increase, giving you better results at work. These results will speak for themselves. Keep records of the changes and achievements and in your pay or job review, show them as evidence you are earning the company more and deserve a raise or a promotion.

Once you set one goal, for one part of your life, you will start to see how you can achieve more in other areas of your life as well. So get goal setting.

Get ready for a tense and possibly frustrating Full Moon as dreams and reality clash and ask for more effort and attention. Six months ago, the New Moon in Virgo on August 30th brought you to a crossroads as i explained in my blog. What was dead or dying could no longer be ignored and we certainly have seen this in the business world. A change in your status quo was underway and you took action on intentions to break with old routines and habits that were holding you back.

what you have tried to accomplish over this time will now be like looking in a mirror and it is time to use your creative self to inspire that healthier life. you must have faith in yourself to achieve the next stage for 2009. This Full Moon reveals your progress and what still calls for release and change, so if you want to change then embrace it or you will stay the same and keep reliving the past. Ground yourself, be flexible, and take some time to think things through… avoid snap judgments or harsh impulsive reactions. You can’t ignore the seismic activity, so aim to keep the best of the old while bringing in elements of the new. 
The trick this Full Moon teaches about is how to keep inspiration alive while also keeping your eye on practical mundane matters.

Till next time
