Do we EVER stick to them, attempt them, or are they just something we ‘say’ and forget?…

In my case, after I finish the past year off with a high (and draw a line in the sand)

[To complete the exercise... "How to finish off the past year on a high" click here now]

then and only then do I start the New Year with resolutions which I call GOALS!

as I have found if I make New Year Resolutions, I rarely stick to them and to be honest, can’t even remember most of them…

So…. I am sharing with you today my 2012 goals that I believe are achievable, good resolutions that we could all perhaps do…..(and obviously I will never add in ‘give up my gin & tonic’)

1. Start the New Year with the ‘out with the old, in with the new’ feeling

As a practice, each year I like to choose just one word as a theme for the following year. This is the second year I’ve been doing this “ritual” and have found it to be extremely powerful. The word becomes like a silent mantra, and a guide for both small and major decisions, and can often precipitate significant leaps and learnings.

My word (theme) for 2012 is HARMONY This means harmony personally and professionally; internally and externally - to an unprecedented level. This also means physically, mentally and emotionally.

To read more about this one-word theme practice and how to apply it your own life, do check out this blog post: One-Word Theme for 2012: HARMONY.

And amazingly see where it could also apply – perhaps your wardrobe? house? kitchen clear out? garage?! or……….friends?!!! See what needs ‘shifting’ in your life…and once you start in one area see how it may apply to other areas of your life too…

2. If you are thinking of doing a diet, kick starting a new exercise regime – don’t go ‘faddy’.

Think less is more…less carbs…more exercise…less input…more output…less snacking more walking…less junk… food more fruit & vegetables…you know the score!!

But don’t go MAD and kickstart the New Year with mad foods, exercise that leaves you weak from January 1st…

I am a big believer in everything in moderation, even moderation!!!
eg. How about starting with a delivery of fresh organic fruit and veg each week.

3. List making.

I always make tonnes of lists, and I believe they work brilliantly! Why not do one in January that you can check at the end of 2012 and see what you have ticked off!

If list making sounds boring then give each month a title (theme) eg. A ‘dream and aspirations’ list is always a good place to start – Put down all the things you would LOVE to do and see if you can make it your goal to tick off….as many as possible!

I call my regular to-do lists “The BOM-Shell” aka The Business of Me!

To-do lists will then become YOU being the priority and you will see your focus shift to achieving your Bomshell list… what is important to you… rather than attending to everyone else’s urgencies.

4. Take your health in hand.

I love the Bupra health insurance advertisement on tv at the moment. It shows you meeting a healthier version of yourself…. if you took care of your health.

“What would you say if you met a healthier version of yourself?”…

So imagine a healthier version of yourself …taking the not-so-healthy version right now… by the hand.

What would he or she say to you: “Come on girl I believe in you. Trust me… you can do it!”

I have a quote: “Quality of health = Quality of life!”

Without good health, nothing in life is possible – so make this the year that you get checked up and checked out and stay on top of your health. Get those 5-7 daily doses of raw fruit and vegetables into you, and everything going – and don’t put it off.. Life is too short, and you have to grab each moment when you can!

And if you don’t have the time, don’t like raw fruit and vege… check out Juice Plus (raw F&V in a capsule minus the salt, water and sugar). I take it religiously …have done for 10yrs+… now it is my health insurance policy. [more info here...]

5. Decide to have a ‘guilt-free’ year!!

In friendships, family, life and work – stick to your gut instincts, and stop feeling guilty about things and look on life as an opportunity to be yourself, be real, be the real authentic self and in the moment

– a great book on the subject is ‘31 words to live a guilt-free life: finding the freedom to be your most powerful self’ by Karen Bouris

Cheers to you achieving your gold in 2012.

The One Thing You MUST Do Before Planning Next Year

And that thing is… To review this year!

Sounds obvious, but have you done it yet?

We get so caught up with going from one thing to the next we forget to savour what we have already achieved.

So it’s time for some reflection, and some pat-on-the-back action.

Here are some good journal questions to guide you:

* What was the theme of the year? What was the overall flavour of the year?

* Identify your Kodak moments - those times that were fabulous, brilliant and you’d like to capture forever.

* Record your successes in your journal. These could be anything from hitting record sales, to meeting your fitness goals, to feeling fantastic, to spending quality time with your kids. whatever it is, make sure you write it down.

* Highlights/lowlights. What was your highest high and your lowest low? Also what I refer to as your bounce back factor and resilience meter. Everything is energy, and everything fluctuates - including the energy of your life, creating peaks and troughs. The good news is that once you make note of these, you’ll learn how to move through the lows much more easily, knowing that another peak is to be expected.

* What did you learn this year? Life is about growth - what did you learn about yourself, others, technical skills, professional skills, your family?

* Who did you meet? This is a fun one! You probably met more people than you realise! Make note of these.

* Did you meet your goals – why or why not?

* What are you most proud of?

With these notes in hand you can put 2010 to bed, wish it goodnight, and prepare to welcome the dawn of the New Year 2011.

Cheers to you achieving your gold in 2011.

The Bleedingly Obvious New Years Resolution!

I don’t know about you but I feel like New Year Resolutions have been done to death the past week and I wanted to put a different twist on 2011 (paradigm shift) and ask you for your one word or phrase that describes your “intention” for 2011!

So here is a “Champion Tip”, which comes to you from Dan Robey of Positive Habits.

By reading today’s blog you’ll discover how to decide your best INTENTION for 2011or New Year’s Resolution Ever! Dan Robey highlights the bleedingly obvious but like most things in our hectic, chaotic, everyday life where we are living it jam-packed to the max….I am not surprised that you may have overlooked the bleedingly obvious.

So enjoy this read!!!

“Here is the best New Years Resolution ever!! Count Your Blessings

That’s right…I said count your blessings.

Make it a habit this new year to take inventory of the good things you have been blessed with on a regular basis.

What do I mean by that? Here is an example. Quite often I get emails from people who are depressed. For health reasons, or relationship reasons, financial reasons, or something else, they feel miserable and very unhappy.

But, when they take stock of what they actually have they quickly realize that they are fortunate and blessed in many ways.

There is a great quote from Eddie Rickenbacker, a fighter pilot in WWII who had to ditch his plane in the ocean. Eddie and his crew floated on a raft for 3 weeks in the ocean without food, or fresh water. When they were finally rescued, Eddie said, “for the rest of my life, if I have a roof over my head and food, I will never complain about anything.”

Your Champion Action Today (…tomorrow and for the future):
Here is an exercise you should do on a regular basis, make it a new Champion habit. This is a kind of personal inventory of your blessings…keep it private and close for reference.

Make a list on a notepad, call it your “blessings list.” Place a “Yes” next to each question about your life that is good and a “No” next to an area of your life you feel is bad right now.

>> Do you have a spouse? Is your spouse supportive?
>> Do you have a family? Is your family supportive?
>> Do you have children? Are your children supportive?
>> Do you have a home? Do you have a job? Do you like your job?
>> Can you read and write?
>> Do you have access to a computer?
>> Do you go to a church? Is your church supportive? Do you have faith in God?
>> Do you live in a country where it is possible to increase your education and get a good job?
>> Do you have a positive attitude?
>> Do you have access to books that can teach you how to improve your attitude?
>> Are you motivated?
>> Do you have access to books that can teach you how to be more motivated?
>> Is your health good?
>> Do you have access to books that can help you maintain your health?

Do you see now how this is going? Even for the areas where you indicated “No” there is probably a “Yes” next to the question asking you if there is a knowledge source or support group that can help you change that “No” to a “Yes.”

It is amazing how often we take for granted the blessings that we have. This exercise can help anyone who is down and depressed about life. Pass it on to others who you think may need it.”

And today remember how to think of yourself as you go about your day, your week, your month, your year: Hello, my name is GRATITUDE!

Go for your gold in 2011!
Cheers Shelley Taylor-Smith

For many of you it is your first real day back in the office….

The past 10 days since the New Year rang in… I have been planning and preparing the Champion Mindset goals for 2011.

But before I created the Champion Mindset goals I created my personal goals first.

So let me share with you, what has now become a top priority in the first week of January that I learned from Keith Abraham

Take a moment and review this simple 10 question checklist to get you started and place you in the right directio in 2011n:

>> Have you got 3 personal goals you want to achieve in 2011?
>> Have you got 3 business or career goals you want to achieve in 2011?
>> Have you shared your goals with your life partner, a great friend or a mentor?
>> Have you got a clear idea of how you are going to pursue your passion this year?
>> Do you know what you need to ignite in your life, in order to become the person capable of achieving your personal and professional goals?
>> Do you know what you need to cease in your life, in order to become the person capable of achieving your personal and professional goals?
>> Do you know what you need to do more of in your life, in order to become the person capable of achieving your personal and professional goals?
>> Do you know what you need to do less of in your life, in order to become the person capable of achieving your personal and professional goals?
>> Have you got a clearly defined focused for the next 30 days?
>> Do you know what you need to do to recharge your batteries, in order to be energised to face challenges and take advantage of opportunities?

If 2011 was going to be the best year of your life, so far, what do you need to do?

Still stuck and uncertain what you need to do… then join me next week in the Teleconference “Forget New Year Resolutions - How to have the Resolve, Resolution and Determination to Make 2011 Your Year”…on Wednesday 19th January 2011 at 8pm Eastern Standard Time (Sydney, Melbourne) // 5pm Perth Time. Register here now… Complimentary to you for taking action!

Go for your gold in 2011!
Cheers Shelley Taylor-Smith

Way back on January 1st I chose to do things slightly different this year.

I chose a theme for 2010.

By picking a positive theme rather than a negative New Year’s resolution (usually you’ll stop, break or change), I get much better results.

The theme for 2010 I chose is: “Be the Champion Shelley”
Being Shelley - down to earth, relatable & comfortable in my own skin; Doing Shelley - walking the talk presenting, training and coaching!

Why? Because I wanted to get back on track and focused on what Shelley Taylor-Smith & Champion Mindset Consulting - the brand represents- before my big move back to my hometown in Perth, Western Australia (after 17yrs in Sydney on the Northern Beaches in Manly) in December 2008 & pre-GFC.

So I say an indebted thanks to each of the 50 or so Champion Motivations subscribers who sent emails and/or facebook responses to my Christmas message back in December ‘09.

2000 Sydney Olympic Volleyball Gold Medallist, Kerri Pottharst summed up beautifully the response from most readers - “Shells thanks for telling it like it “really is”…from your heart and down to earth. I admire your honesty. Keep it coming!!!”

and another…. “I’ve never replied to any of your e-mails you have sent over the years, but I want to assure you of the great impression you make on me. I am always happy to read your kind words and I have with no plan collected all your motivational snippets, they were just so good and unique that I re-read occasionally, they are of great benefit … thank you for your steadfastness to those of us who luckily receive your e-mails, the lesson alone on perseverance and support you show is personally amazing to me. It has been a privilege to receive your kindnesses over such a long time. Thank you!”

Ok I shed tears and even though I did receive a few not so positive (even advice that I should change careers) I became more determined to persevere. (no does not sound like Shelley at all!!!)

So for December, January & February 2010 I put pen to paper investigating 3 important questions:

1. What are the benefits for Shelley Taylor-Smith when she is down to earth, relatable and comfortable in her own skin?
2. What is the Champion Brand - Champion Mindset Consulting that brings people knocking at our door?
3. What do we do that makes for happy customers?

And guess what business has never been better!

I have reformulated my business vision using our Champion Passion Pyramid tool. Funny when you get rid of the clutter and gain clarity, the answers are right there in front of you!

And I want to teach you exactly how you can get back on track too.

Join me at the Personal Branding - Create Your Champion Brand: YOU! workshop next month to develop your 2010 vision and learn:

* What purpose has to do with achieving success,
* How to identify your own career and business vision,
* Define the habits required that you need to stick at,
* How to eliminate the fears that drain your power - Champion Brand: You!,
* How to effortlessly embrace your strengths, anytime you need to
* Simple steps to immediately replace your limiting beliefs with empowering beliefs
* How your attitude can enhance relationships so much you get what you want
* How Champions handle mistakes differently than others
* Create your one year Champion brand plan

I would love for you to come on this journey with me and share your changes, challenges and celebrations - your Champion Gold Medal moments!

So What Did Shelley Achieve in January and February 2010???

I launched myself into the new decade as Head Coach of the Rottnest Channel 20km Swim coaching 30 solos and 10 duos. A 4 month project that began on November 2nd and completed on 20 February 2010 with a 20km marathon swim Cottesloe to Rottnest Island, Western Australia. Results: Team Shelley 98% - achieving 1st place in 4hrs 41mins 30secs through to final place overall in 11hrs 30mins.

**Someone kindly reminded me that the only swimmer who did not finish (he retired at 12km) because he had been bedside at hospital with his son and had not slept for 48hrs prior to the race; this does qualify as a DID NOT FINISH. That was a commonsense decision to get out and not a failure.
Thanks Warren “WOW” Jones.

Here’s to seeing you real soon at a Personal Branding - Create Your Champion Brand YOU workshop soon. And if you’re not already a Champion Motivations subscriber then register now

Until next time…What basics do you need to get back to, to find your way back on track?

“Remember: If you don’t quit…you will make it!”

“Here is the best New Years Resolution ever!! Count Your Blessings

That’s right…I said count your blessings.

Make it a habit this new year to take inventory of the good things you have been blessed with on a regular basis.

What do I mean by that? Here is an example. Quite often I get emails from people who are depressed. For health reasons, or relationship reasons, financial reasons, or something else, they feel miserable and very unhappy.

But, when they take stock of what they actually have they quickly realize that they are fortunate
and blessed in many ways.

There are several assumptions that I can immediately make when I receive an email from such a person as described above.

* The ability to send an email means that it is very likely that they either own a computer or have access to one. Count that as one blessing. You see, there are millions, upon millions of people in
this world that do not have computers, nor access to them.

They are blessed by having access to the largest source of information ever available to mankind …the internet. They can now find information to help solve their problems, be it health, financial, or otherwise.

The millions of people who do not have access to this vast knowledge pool called the internet cannot do what they can do….they are fortunate….very fortunate.

* It is also very likely that the person sending the email message has a roof over their head. You see, computers do not hold up well in the rain. Again, there are millions of people living in huts, or temporary shelters.

There is a great quote from Eddie Rickenbacker, a fighter pilot in WWII who had to ditch his plane in the ocean. Eddie and his crew floated on a raft for 3 weeks in the ocean without food, or fresh water. When they were finally rescued, Eddie said, “for the rest of my life, if I have a roof over my head and food, I will never complain about anything.”

* The person that is sending the email is obviously literate….they know how to read, write and type. Do you know how many people there are in this world who do not know how to read? Again, another blessing added to their list.

It is amazing what we can learn about a person just by receiving one email from them.

Your Champion Action Today (…tomorrow and for the future):

The “Secret” has a scientific basis… and the proof is as pervasive as it is undeniable. There is a guaranteed no-nonsense way to get the results you want…

I say confidently: I personally do not teach positive thinking. To me, by the time you think positive…. it is too late. It is important to understand that is not our thinking that creates our circumstances, but the emotion that is attached to our thoughts.

In pursing your dreams and achieving your goals you will discover there is a a scientific system to getting, obtaining, and creating precisely what you want… whether it be more money, better relationships, the job or career you have always dreamed of, or getting into shape…

My journey in becoming World Marathon Swimming Champion led to the discovery that “the secret” works with Swiss-clockwork precision, precisely because it is and always has been based upon the laws of physics as undeniable as the law of gravity…

Have you ever noticed…

* Whatever you hold in your mind with energy and focus becomes your reality … whether it be negative or positive, if you focus on it and give it emotional energy, it manifests itself in your life…

* If you have good thoughts or do good deeds towards others, it sets in motion a chain reaction delivering good back to you … maybe not from the same person or at the same time, but probably when you need it the most…

* If there is something you struggle against… it just seems to come back to you in droves (rather than leaving)… In fact, the more you resist, the more you attract that which you don’t want…

These are all based upon the Law of Attraction… an immutable law as impersonal and indifferent to your “wishes” as the Law of Gravity…

Here is something else you may not realise, which is a fact based on universal Law of Cause and Effect which applies to everything in the universe including your actions:

For every cause there is an effect... not only that, but the effect is always multiplied. So not only will you experience what you cause yourself, or others, to experience, but it will come back to you, multiplied and increased.

In other words, if you help others to experience riches and happiness, it will come back to you and you will experience a multiplying of what you cause others to experience…

In a nutshell…whatever you give out….. you get back!

It’s not by accident that the following people all share one thing in common — they all understood the secret of all secrets…and all used it to achieve greatness in the field they were most passionate about: …. Bill Gates, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Elvis Presley, John Lennon & Paul McCartney, Albert Einstein, Henry David Thoreau, Aristotle and Socrates, Gandhi.

The Law of Attraction states that whatever you focus on… you will get. Notice I said what you focus on. I did not say what you want or need or desire. If you are focused on the fact that you do not have enough money, if you are constantly worrying about it and thinking about it… then that is your dominant thought and focus.

The Law of Attraction … whatever you focus most of the time you get. There is good news and bad news in this… The bad news is if you don’t have what you want or are fearful about your future – your mind created this outcome using the Law of Attraction. It did it over time… The good news is that you have already PROVEN to yourself that these laws work and you can reverse your fate.

You focused on what you didn’t want and now you have it. Proof positive that the Law of Attraction works 100% of the time… The key is to take the immutable, unchangeable laws of Cause and Effect and put them purposely to work for you… instead of them by default working against you.

Today’s Champion Action:
Applying this Chinese Proverb: In the end what matters most is: How well did you live? How well did you love? How well did you learn to let go?

Ask yourself:
1. How well do I live focused on what I want? Give yourself a score out of 100. ________________
If you are above 50% good you are heading in the right direction towards creating what you want. If you are under 50% we need to help you erase those limiting thoughts that are blocking moving toward what you want.

2. If you have focused on not what you want and not getting what you want… do you say:
I will always be overweight, I cannot save money, I am a procrastinator through and through, I can never finish what I start, I always start motivated but quit before halfway, I am a shopaholic, I will never be able to reduce my credit card debt, Why return to the work force who is going to hire me, I am over the hill, I lack confidence, I could never stand up and speak in public, I would rather die than be a public speaker, I will never be able to lose weight and keep it off, I am such a loser, I do not believe in myself, I hate myself, I lack brains, I am not smart enough, I am just a Mum.

So if you relate to any one of the above….. What do you want to feel and believe instead? (hint:….the opposite of this feeling or limiting belief of yourself.)

How exciting, this is the 1st Monday of the New Year!

The best way to a great 2010 is to prepare yourself for an exciting month. January is a very important month for many reasons…it is the first day of the first 90 days of the 2nd decade of the new millenium.

Any of you that have worked with me knows that I am big believer in setting a single 90 day goal. That is right, ONE clear goal for the next 90 days. This exercise will make your prioritise what you are focusing on.

If you are not currently working with a clear 90 day goal then this is the day to set ONE. It may help to take a moment and review what you accomplished in 2009. Write down what you have accomplished on the way to your last goal. Whether you achieved the specific goal or not doesn’t matter.

NB: Before you set yourself up for the next 90 days, I highly recommend if you have not already done so, to do a clean sweep out and declutter so you start 2010 with a clean slate!

Focus on what did you achieve in the last 90 days? Write down the positives that matter to you. Be alert for increased energy and passion.When your energy is up then set your next 90 day goal!!!

Your 90 day goal is your own. Pay attention to this fact. If you own your business then you are on the way to achieving the lifestyle of your dreams and you will have always achieved something else in the process. Some sort of recognition or acknowledgement.

Once you have your 90 day goal defined, look at it and ask yourself,
“What do I have to accomplish this month to achieve this goal?”

From here you set your monthly targets. And then ask yourself,
“What do I have to do TODAY to move towards my monthly targets”

Write down your daily goal, and take action. Now is a fantastic time to set a 90 day goal and set you up for achieving your goals in 2010.

The best way to achieve your Resolutions and goals in 2010 is to keep it simple.

How do you keep it simple you may well ask? Directions: Plan your way to success with these six Who, What, Where, When, How and Why questions. They will help you to clarify your goal, deadlines, and corresponding action items.

1. What is the specific goal that you want to achieve?
__________________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________

2. Why do you want to achieve this goal?
__________________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________

3. Where are you currently starting from as it relates to this goal?
__________________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________

4. How will you achieve this goal? List each individual action step and deadline.
__________________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________

5. Who will be involved in helping you achieve this goal? Identify their specific role.
__________________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________

6. When will you achieve this goal? Identify a specific date.
__________________________________________________________________________

“Life will not go according to plan, if you do not have a plan!”
