We all know how important it is to have goals? But what is it that separates success and failure when endeavoring to achieve your goals? If Im to point to one specific thing that can surely sabotage your goal success its ambiguity.

Its a lack of being specific. Its that vague pale definition that doesnt even sound believable when you say it.

For example, I want to loose weight. It doesnt provide anything that I would deem able to stimulate passion , energy or excitement. It has no purpose, direction or timetable attached to it.

If you're truly serious about your goals and achieving them, why would you even want to leave that to chance?

Why not put your daily goal review on autopilot. Imagine having your goals fed 1000's of times a day to your subconscious mind unobtrusively while all the while you're working, typing, playing or surfing on your computer.
