This will sound crazy to many of you who have so many goals you’d like to accomplish. And trust me, I know how that feels. I started out 2012 with a whole bunch of goals, but I only accomplished about half of them. I didn’t realize how things would change for me during the year, and anyway, 9 goals is too many. I’ve said this before, but it’s so important I’m going to repeat it: you’re at your most powerful if you focus on one thing at a time. If you have 10 goals, you’ll spread your focus thinly. But if you have one goal, you’ll be able to focus you energy and attention completely on that one goal. And that’s one of the secrets of success.

You might have 10 goals to achieve for your lifetime. If so, choose just one to accomplish this year. And focus completely on that this year. You might have shorter-term sub-goals to achieve in a month or two, but those should lead to your One Goal for 2013. Put your goal on your wall, on you computer desktop. Make it your mantra. Keep it your focus for 2013, and you’ll not only achieve it, but you’ll feel great for doing so.

1 One goalGoals are achieved by habits. What habit can you develop this month to help achieve your One Goal for this year?

Once you’ve identified that goal, you’ll need to commit yourself, hold yourself accountable to a group of people, and focus completely on that habit for a month.

2 Create new habit

It’s all good and well to set goals or resolutions, but the best plans are worthless if you don’t act on them. Action is everything. Take action today to make your goal come true. Tomorrow, take another action. In fact, take one action toward your One Goal every day, first thing in the day, and make it the most important thing you do every day. If you do that, there’s almost no way that you won’t achieve that goal.

The actions can be small things: making a list, making a call, doing some research. But take action.

But if you take the time

to simplify your life, in

some way, this month,

your year will be much

better. When we have

too much going on in our

lives, it overwhelms us. It

spreads us thin. It makes

us ineffective. Simplifying

things helps keep us

sane, and makes us more

powerful. Take some time

to identify the 4-5 things

that are most important

in your life, then simplify

your commitments so

that they fall in line with

those 4-5 priorities.If you make your happiness

become your focus, you’ll be

happier. It’s really that simple.

What makes you happy? That

should be the focus of your life.

This year, make happiness be

your priority.

To make this your best year

ever, learn to focus. Make it

one of your monthly habits.

Start by identifying your One

Goal and your 4-5 priorities.

Then, every day, focus

yourself on those things.

Each morning (or the night

before), make a list of the

3 Most Important Things

(MITs) that you want to

accomplish today. Then start

on the first one, first thing,

instead of getting distracted

by email or any of the other

things that take away your

attention. Shut everything

off except what you need

for that task. Clear your desk

and turn off the phone and

any notifications on your

computer. Then focus on that

one thing, trying your utmost

to complete the task.

When you’re done, take a

break and reward yourself.

Then focus on the next task.

Working like this, there’s

nothing you can’t accomplish.

4 Simplify

6 Focus on happiness

Spending time with yourself,

doing something you love to do,

will give you time for reflection.

It will make you happier, and

give you time to decompress.

Don’t have time? Make time.

Spending time with loved ones,

connecting with them, is in my

opinion absolutely essential to

happiness. Make it a priority.

5 Schedule time for you and your loved one

the absolute Beginner’s Guide to starting a small online Business

technolo

gy

if your goal is to start a small online business that replaces and exceeds your current income, this may be the most important article you read this year.

Here’s the deal: i’ve been working online full time for almost 10 years, since age 19. i’ve had a lot of failures and a lot of successes.

there is no better way to learn how to succeed than to learn from someone who has already done it.

1. Focus on What’s important

What’s important? Action.

In the beginning, just get started.

Don’t get too caught up in

details that don’t matter. Dealing

with the paperwork, business

cards, and other ancillaries isn’t

absolutely necessary.

It’s an online business for a

reason. Save the time, paper,

and money and don’t get

business cards.

If you happen to meet someone

who wants to know more about

you or wants to visit your site

ask for their e-mail address and

actively follow up with them.

Handing out business cards is

passive, and even more than that,

ineffective. Other paperwork a

lot of people get caught up in

is registering a corporation or

other business entity. That will be

important eventually. But you can

(in the US anyway) start a

2. invest in Education

Whatever business you want to

start, be it blogging, eBay sales,

information product selling,

affiliate marketing, or any one of

the countless other ways to make

money online, there are hords

of people who have done it

before you.

Sometimes those people will

have written about what they

did to succeed. In those cases, if

their business aligns with what

you want to do, don’t be afraid to

invest money into their products.

Personally, I have easily spent

upwards of $40,000 on non-

University education. That

includes buying eBooks, print

books, seminars, coaching,

membership sites, you name it.

business in your own name

with very minimal paperwork (a

simple Doing Business As form)

and cost. Consult a tax advisor

for specific insights.

3. ask For Help

If you’re a bit introverted like

me you might be shy about

asking for help. Don’t let that

be a barrier to your success.

In other words, feel the fear

and do it anyway.

You will deal with rejection.

Many people won’t respond

to your e-mails, phone calls,

or tweets. But you know

what? It doesn’t matter.

Starting a business isn’t

supposed to be easy. That’s

the filter.

I promise you, if you talk to

enough people, you will get

the help you need. I’ve been

quite surprised by just how

4. participate in the Community

Whatever niche you’re in

there is a community.

For example, back in the

days when I used to sell

on eBay, I hung out on a

few eBay message boards.

I helped people where I

could and I got help

where I needed.

As an added bonus, when

I decided to start selling

eBay how to products (I

haven’t sold them for over

5 years), guess who helped

me launch that business? The

same community that I had

participated in freely

for over a year.

accessible some people I was

initially afraid to contact are.

Bonus hint: I’ve had greater

success connecting with ultra

successful people than those

who are just ultra successful

in their heads. :)

The key to getting a

response is to send very

short, very succinct e-mails.

Practice the http://five.

sentenc.es rule. Keep your

e-mail to five sentences and

make it clear what you’re

asking.

As a general rule, the most

important skill you can learn,

no matter what business

you’re starting, is marketing.

I don’t make a distinction

between online and offline

marketing. Once you learn

marketing you can use it

anywhere, with a few tweaks

of course.

I liken it to learning computer

programming. The language

you learn isn’t as important

as the logic behind it. You

can adapt to any language.

5. don’t Quit Your day Job

Your ultimate goal may be to

quit your job, but don’t jump

the gun.

You will find tons of stories

of people who quit their

jobs before they had their

businesses going, but there’s

a reason for that.

People who failed furiously

because they didn’t have

an income to support

themselves in the lean

business startup phase don’t

usually write about it. And

because they don’t write

about their failures, you

never hear about them.

I want you to quit your job

as much as you want to quit

your job, but I don’t want you

to do it before it’s time.

These days, whichever

community you should

be a part of is larger and

more easily accessible. Take

advantage of that.

The Willingness to Think Differently

most of the successful people I’ve ever known possess one traIt - the wIllIngness to challenge maInstream Ideas.

When you hear an idea that’s

different than what you’re used

to, pause. Instead of rejecting

it outright, consider it — is

there some merit? What are the

arguments, the evidence?

Let go of the emotions that come

up, the defensiveness. When I

mention the cruelty in meat and

eggs and dairy and leather and

wool (even the “humanely” raised

animal products), for example,

people become defensive and

angry. They cover their eyes and

ears, so they can go on doing

what feels comfortable. They lash

out and attack. And yet, if you set

aside those emotions, and look at

the arguments, you might learn to

think differently — and that applies

to all ideas, not just veganism.

When you are told that this is the

way to do things, take a second

look. Is this really the best way?

Are there other possibilities? If no

one has thought of them, can you?

Just because an idea is different,

don’t just accept it. Look at the

bulk of the evidence, and learn

to spot flaws in reasoning. For

example, there is a school of

people who believe that soy is

bad for you, saturated fat (animal

fat) is good for you, we should all

drink raw milk, slather butter on

everything (the Weston A. Price

Foundation). This is different than

mainstream science, but it’s wrong.

The bulk of the evidence is against

they believe, and their reasoning

is wrong.

Test out different ideas. Just

because most people don’t do it,

doesn’t mean it’s wrong. They

might all be wrong, and this might

be better. No better way to find

out than to test it. If it’s not a

good idea, drop it and move on.

Learn to be proud of your

ability to test things that people

traditionally believe in, and not to

worry so much if you stand out. In

fact, learn to see standing out as

good — not just to stand out, but

to forge new ground, to challenge

ideas, to express your individual

voice rather than blending in.

10 Benefits of Rising Early,And How to Do It

1. Greet the day. I love being able to get up, and greet a wonderful

new day. I’m inspired by the Dalai Lama, who said,

” Everyday, think as you wake up, ‘today I am

fortunate to have woken up, I am alive, I have a

precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I

am going to use all my energies to develop myself,

to expand my heart out to others, to achieve

enlightenment for the benefit of all beings, I am

going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am

not going to get angry or think badly about others,

I am going to benefit others as much as I can.’ “

2 Amazing start. I have a renewing morning ritual, I’ve gotten so

much done before 8 a.m., my kids are early and

so am I, and by the time everyone else gets in to

work, I’ve already gotten a head start. There is no

better way to start off your day than to wake early,

in my experience.

3 Quietude. No other noises. The early morning hours are so peaceful,

so quiet. It’s my favorite time of day. I truly enjoy that

time of peace, that time to myself, when I can think, when

I can read, when I can breathe.

4 Sunrise.I love how the day slowly gets brighter, when the

midnight blue turns to lighter blue, when the brilliant

colors start to seep into the sky, when nature is painted

in incredible colors.

5 Breakfast. Rise early and you actually have time for breakfast. I’m

told it’s one of the most important meals of the day.

Eating breakfast while reading my book and drinking

my coffee in the quiet of the morning is eminently more

enjoyable than scarfing something down on the way to work, or at your desk.

6 Exercise. There are other times to exercise besides the early

morning, of course, but I’ve found that while exercising

right after work is also very enjoyable, it’s also liable to be

canceled because of other things that come up. Morning

exercise is virtually never canceled.24 QR MART

7 Productivity. Mornings, for me at least, are the most productive time of day. I like to do

some writing in the morning, when there are no distractions, before I check

my email or blog stats. I get so much more done by starting on my work in

the morning. Then, when evening rolls around, I have no work that I need to

do, and I can spend it with family.

8 Goal time. You should have one goal that you want to accomplish this week. And every

morning, you should decide what one thing you can do today to move

yourself further towards that goal. And then, if possible, do that first thing in

the morning.

9 Commute. No one likes rush-hour traffic, except for Big Oil. Commute early, and the

traffic is much lighter, and you get to work faster, and thus save yourself

more time.

10 Appointments. It’s much easier to make those early appointments on time if you get up early.

Showing up late for those appointments is a bad signal to the person you’re

meeting. Showing up early will impress them. Plus, you get time to prepare.

House Cleaning:

A Simple SystemAs you begin your spring cleaning for Chinese New Year, you might

begin to wonder how you managed to accumulate so much dust and

junk over the past one year. Of course, they didn’t just magically appear

overnight. Keeping your house clean all-year-round is really just a matter

of daily habits and effective system.

Here’s a sample system for house cleaning:

26 QR MART

1

4

2

3First, have a big weekend dedicated to

cleaning, so you can start your system

with a clean slate. Get the whole family

involved (if you have one), and clean

one room at a time, from top to bottom,

clockwise, until you’re done. It also

helps to get rid of tclutter. You might

need two big weekends if there’s a lot

of cleaning to do.

Have a weekly routine: either designate one day for a

quick 1-hour clean (it shouldn’t be that dirty if you’ve

been cleaning as you go), or have different days

designated for different things — vacuum the living

room, for example, or wash the linens, etc.

5 Every few months, do a deep clean: clean out the

refrigerator and oven, clear out the cabinets and

clean them, etc.

From now on, have a clean-as-you-go

routine: when you’re getting ready in

the morning, do a quick wipe of the sink

and toilet and bathtub. Put things away

as you go through the day, wash dishes

when you’re done using them, wipe

the counters and table when you’re

done cooking or eating.

Also have a daily routine: Every morning, make your

bed, take out the trash, and do a quick pick-up. In the

evening, sweep the kitchen/dining room, clean up

after dinner, and do a quick pick-up before bed.

‘BITTER LEAF’ Editor’s Recommendation - Medicinal Herb

This Miraculous Leaf Prevents...Cancer Heat Detoxification • High Blood Pressure• High Cholesterol • Diabetes • Blood Febrile Dermatosis

Also known as Vernonia amygdalina, and

commonly called ‘bitter leaf’ because of is bitter

taste, this amazing herb may be consumed either

as a vegetable or aqueous extracts as tonics for

the treatment of various illnesses. In the wild,

chimpanzees have been observed to ingest the

leaves when suering from parasitic infections.

It is said that their extracts may help suppress,

delay or even kill cancerous cells in many ways.

Many herbalists and naturopathic doctors

recommend aqueous extracts for their patients as

treatment for emesis, nausea, diabetes, loss of

appetite-induced abrosia, dysentry and other

gastrointestinal tract problems.

There is increasing scientic evidence that a Vernonia

amygdalina regimen or consumption as dietary supplements

may provide multiple health benets.

Curious about its healing properties and how to obtain it?

A 12-step program to Eating Healthier Than Ever Before

hom

e & living

1 Eat fruits for snacks. If you snack on junk food

during the day, have some

fruits by your side at all times.

When you’re feeling hungry

for a snack, eat a fruit. One of

those bags of small apples is

a handy thing — you can’t go

wrong with apples.

2 drink water instead of soda. The only thing I drink (besides

an occasional beer) is water.

I’m not saying you need to do

that, but try to cut out sugary

drinks a bit at a time, replacing

them with water.

3 Eat whole grain bread. If you eat white bread or bagels

or whatever, replace them with

whole-grain versions. Be sure

to look at the ingredients — it

shouldn’t say enriched wheat

flour, but whole grain. Also try

to avoid breads with high-

fructose corn syrup.

4 add fresh veggies to dinner. If you don’t already, have some

steamed greens with dinner. Cut

out a less healthy side dish if

you usually eat something else.

7 nuts instead of chips.If you normally snack on

chips, try unsalted peanuts or

raw almonds.

11 Berries instead of candy.I used to snack on chocolate

candy all the time, but now I

try to eat berries to satisfy my

sweet cravings and it works!

12 try some great veggie dinners. There are so many good ones

out there if you haven’t tried

them.it works!

9 Whole grain cereal. If you eat sugary cereal, try a

whole-grain cereal instead.

10 scrambled tofuinstead of fried eggs.Scrambled tofu is a secret

vegan wonder.

8 soymilk instead of whole milk. Whole milk is fatty. Soymilk is

much healthier. You get used to it

after awhile, like all the changes

on this list, but if soymilk is a

problem at least drink 1% milk.

5 Cut out red meat.You can still eat poultry and

seafood for now. You can later

cut those out too if you want.

6 Make pizza instead of ordering.Homemade pizza is the best.

Get a ready-made whole-wheat

crust, although making your

own tastes even better. Start

with the simple version, though,

as you don’t want to make

things too difficult.
