When Dr. James B. Conant was president of Harvard University he not only made many revolutionary changes in the policies, administration and curriculum of many of its schools; he also became a leading force in U.S. education, a constant source of new and stimulating ideas. It is significant that during his years at Harvard he kept a picture of a turtle on the wall of his office with the caption: “Behold the turtle. He makes progress only when his neck is out.”
This is the basic reason for brainstorming, dramatically expressed. It is a technique, which encourages people to stick their necks out so that radically new ideas will constantly be produced.
When was the last time you heard anyone come up with a radically new and unconventional idea in an old-style conference or committee meeting? I can’t remember one. Conferences are supposed to stimulate thought, but, as we all know, they usually stifle it.
You know the saying, “A camel is an animal which looks like it was made by a committee.” Committee meetings in almost every case are the place for compromise, diplomacy, or careful one-upmanship. The members spend ten minutes analyzing the problem, fifty minutes arguing about it.
Living under a mountain of debt cripples you. You’re unable to live in peace because of the weight and pressure of your financial problems. Creating a debt relief plan can be immensely beneficial in stopping this horrific pain.
Step One: Gather Your Bills. The first thing you must do to create a debt relief plan is know how much you owe and to whom. This will probably be the most difficult step for you if you’ve never done it before. But being able to see every bill you have and the amount of debt you owe will help motivate you and kick start you into action.
Step Two: Make A Plan. Once you have a clear understanding of the amount of debt you’re in, you’ll be much more capable of setting reasonable financial goals for yourself. these goals are what will help you get out of and stay out of debt forever. Begin by sorting your bills from highest to lowest in amount.
When you set goals, how do you keep up with them? Do you keep a record throughout the process? This is a very important part of goals. You should keep records so you can look back and discover the progress (or lack thereof) you’ve made towards your goals. Keeping a journal is a great way to do this. Here are some tips you can use on how to keep a journal for your goals.
JOURNAL OFTEN
It is important that you continue journaling often in your goal journal. Many people start keeping record of their progress, then tend to slack after a while. This usually happens when they become bored with their goals or are procrastinating, and thus not actually working towards their goals anymore.
RECORD DATES AND TIMES
As you journal about your goal process, remember to include dates and times on each entry. This is especially important because it will show you how long it took for you to step from one point to another.
REFLECT EACH MONTH
Shh!!
I’m going to let you in on a secret. It’s called the secret law of attraction. The only caveat is that it’s not really that secret. It works in your life all the time, even when you don’t realize it’s working. The secret law of attraction simply stated says that like energies attracts like energies.
And here’s the number one reason to try to avoid people who have miserable attitudes and always want to bring you down. Because of the power of the secret law of attraction, they can!
Yes! The secret law of attraction is indeed a two way street. Just as sure as the sun comes up in the morning that a person’s enthusiasm is contagious, you can be sure that a person’s pessimism is also contagious.
But I’m sure you’ve already noticed this about the secret law of attraction. It’s almost as if a miserable person casts a deadly pall over a room when he walks in. It’s like that comic strip character of years ago who used to walk around with a dark rain cloud hovering over him all the time.
