FYI... I posted the above goal 4 days ago and as of today it has already been accomplished! There is a lot of power in public accountability!

Now I still have 25 days left in the month to absolutely crush that goal!

Awesome, Trent!

That's exactly what Brian Tracy has always said about the value of written goals: they prompt us to achieve more, quicker than we thought possible. It's all about clarity and focus.

Well done, Trent.

Yes, I think you are right about the "power in public accountability".

Hi Evan,

That's a very nice offer. I just checked your latest video to refresh my memory... YES PLEASE! A quick intro with "David Hurley" as the text (not a url) would be just GREAT!

Thank you.

My progress has been slow so far. I'm a little bit behind in my January goal-achieving schedule.

But on the plus side, I have posted several new blog posts and one new article ... and I might not have gotten even that much done if I hadn't posted my goals here and made a printed copy to stare at every day! :lol:

Hi Evan,

I'd just like text, please. That way I can cover several different bases across my websites and niches... :D

I think that many of us have learned through experience that the simple act of confirming a definite goal and writing it down - or better yet, sharing it publicly - somehow moves that goal up into the 'high priority' section of our subconscious and like a nagging itch, we can't leave it alone until it has been dealt with. :lol:

Here is a great quote posted by member Dave Bell on page 143 of my "Favourite Motivational and Inspirational Quotes" group at IM faceplate:

"Commitment with accountability closes the gap between intention and results."
– Sandra Gallagher

I think this quote is most relative to our "January Goals" accountability group here in the Entrepreneur Forums!

You can read Dave's contribution directly, and other inspiring quotes, here:

@David - check out these 2:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpwA8nwV6dw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULkoZ2iJSX0

There's no music but if you buy a royalty free one we can add it in.

Let me know what you think about the style, font, colours, etc... anything is open to being changed. I didn't give much direction besides "intro with David Hurley as a name" so this is just a starting point.
