Thanks for your feedback and great ideas I really appreciate it.

Pat - I will pick up your book suggestion and take it from there, thanks for the link .

I think the message is do what works for you but the key is to be CONSISTENT.

Prior to finding this site I usually just set a goal and wouldn't stop until I reached it. I would take a break (mentally or physically) then choose another goal. I never really thought of having a number of them at one time.

My last goal was I decided I wanted to work for a certain company in my city, along with a salary in my mind that I wanted to make. Although I didn't know anyone who worked in this company I managed to get in through a temp agency on an assignment.

While there they advertised a position I really wanted (along with 851 other applicants). I was short-listed, interviewed and was the successful candidate for the position, making over 10K more in the base salary that I set in my mind.

Now I'm working on some physical habits and we will see what's next. I think I need to spend some time doing some serious reading to see what works for me.

Thanks again and good luck reaching your goals.
