Today I'm going to share with you one of my most powerful secrets of success. But first...
In the beginning of December, I re-launched my Startup Victory training, with a guarantee of profitability, or 250% back. You can check it out here:

I've been lost in the ether ever since. December has been crazy! My businesses are booming - I just haven't had the time!
This week is a very special one for me, and despite my lack of time I just had to get this email out to you...
It is an important one... Some people who have been on my list for years have gotten this message several times.
Well, here goes again!
-----------------------------------------
Tomorrow marks not only the end of 2009, but also the end of this decade.
-----------------------------------------
Now is the time for some serious thought.
Most entrepreneurs stay so busy with what is in front of them, they don't take any time to think about the future, ponder the past, and prepare themselves mentally for the upcoming year.
The week between Christmas and New Years is very special for me. I usually take the entire week off for reflection, prediction, and preparation.
I ponder the year gone by, and write down the lessons I've learned.
I think about what I want to accomplish in the upcoming year.
I review the goals I set last year, and see how many were accomplished. (Once I write down my goals, I don't look at them again until the following December. It is amazing how many are accomplished...)
THE SIMPLE ACT OF WRITING SOMETHING DOWN IS SO POWERFUL, IT CANNOT BE UNDERESTIMATED
... especially when it is done with the intention of referring back to it later on.
If you're like me, you've been getting a hundred-thousand "2010 prediction" emails recently.
It is because marketers in particular know the power of a prediction.
Writing your 2010 goals down is like making your own prediction... It is an extremely powerful method to improve the results you get in 2010.
Here is how I do it:
--------------------------------------------
HOW TO DOUBLE YOUR EFFECTIVENESS IN 2010
--------------------------------------------
** All of this should be written down. Put it in a safe place where you'll find it next year. **
* What big things happened? Did they happen because you made a knowing, concerted effort to make them happen? Or... did they just happen?
- "Audaces fortuna iuvat" is latin for "Fortune favors the bold". In other words, there is a big difference between "letting" something happen, and "making" something happen.
By writing down your goals this year, you are taking the first step to MAKING SOMETHING HAPPEN.
* What good things happened? What bad things happened?
- What lessons did you learn from these things? You don't need to take a lot of time to extract the meaning - just write down the
first thing that pops into your mind... trust me, the act of writing it down will make it stick.
* What do you want to happen next year?
- Break your goals down into as many categories as you need to.
Mine are:
- PERSONAL
- PROFESSIONAL
- TRAVEL
- I often write my goals down in past tense, as if they already happened. This has the effect of tricking my brain into visualizing what it was like, enforcing the already powerful magic of writing everything down.
- Be specific, and write down everything that comes to your mind. You can always revise it or eliminate it later.
Here are some ideas to grease the tracks:
* Do you want to have more time?
* Do you want to make more money? How much? In what fashion?
* Do you want to go places? With who? In what fashion?
* Do you want to read more? Fiction? Non-fiction?
* Do you want more material things? Cars, house, clothes, etc?
* Do you want to learn new skills?
* Do you want to spend more time with certain people?
* Do you want to run a race? Climb a mountain? Learn a new language?
* Who do you want to be perceived as? (What kind of a person?)
* Who do you want to meet?
* What charities do you want to give to?
Now put it away. Give yourself a 2 day breather to reflect on the things you've written down.
Come back to it in a couple of days. Revise as appropriate.
Then, show your significant other. Or your mother. (Yeah, that sounds scary, but it's important because the act of showing it to somebody else "commits you" to the concepts you've written down.)
Now, store it in a safe place to review at this time next year.
You are done - your subconscious has been sufficiently primed for success next year. Congratulations!
Now... HAVE A HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR. I wish you the best of success in 2010!
It's gonna be a fun ride.
Looking forward,
Travis Giggy
