Promises

Last night at the conference dinner a large number of people sought me out to say how much they had enjoyed my Mission Ironman keynote speech.  It's always nice to have your work praised so thank you to everyone that took the time out to tell me.  What was more important is that everyone had been inspired and as a result set themselves a goal using my five stage goal planner.  Now that's a result and one that can change lives for the better which is an initial success for Mission Ironman.
One person had spoken to me a year ago and had gone away to get fit and lose weight as she was getting married 10 months later.  She'd dropped two dress sizes and was loving her new found fitness.  So the message to everyone who had set a goal, made a promise, is that when they get home there will be an envelope address to them which they completed and inside will be their own five stage goal planner with their hand writing outlining their goal.  Now the hard work starts and they need to follow through with the promise but tell people about your intention because that increases your chances of success.  Enjoy the journey and the results.  Remember a goal without a plan is just a wish.
