We tend to keep promises. Failing to keep a promise leads to embarassment, and it is almost always something we fulfill on. This embarassment is tied to our "sentry" our subconsciencsous, therefore when making committments we might want to think of promises instead of goals. I just started a new web site and it is my PROMISE that i will reach 1,000 unique visitors in the next 30 days.
