Neil Wood's New Book available in June!

Hi Friends, I have been asked SO many times to write another book that I’ve finally said yes. My book on Inspiring Quotes from Optimist Island should be available to purchase on June 10, 2010. It’s a collection of my favorite quotes over the past 40 years as well as others I’ve found just recently! As usual, I’ll share quotes on Optimism, Goals, Persistence, Hope, Friendships and YES - about Attitude…just to name a few of the chapters.

IF you have quotes you would like share, I may still have a little time to add a few more.

Final salute to this blog

Dear Friends, clients and associates, this is most likely the last blog you’ll see on this site. I am so busy these days that I can’t Blog as often as I really should. I hope you will understand. My coaching and Keynote presentation business is about all I can handle these days.

I will encourage you to connect with me on Facebook, then join my Neil Wood’s Optimist Island daily quotes. IF you do that, then you will receive an inspiring, thought provoking and mood-altering quote directly into your email box ~ Daily! . I’ve been doing this daily since November and we have nearly 200 members in the Group.

Wow, it's already March! How are you doing on those goals you set in December?

Time is flying by so I’ll ask the same question that I asked one month ago. Are you on track with your goals for 2010? You wanted to get into better shape, start exercising daily, increase your efforts in your career and find more balance in your life. How are you doing? Are you on track yet? Or are you filled with “excusitis”?

I’m not trying to bust your chops. That’s not my role. I want to encourage you to take the first steps that you decided to do - but have postponed for some reason. Start today. If you can work on your goal ~ daily for the next 4 weeks, you’ll feel better, prouder, stronger and happier by April.

It's February - how are your goals going so far?

Where the heck did January go? Okay, so you started 2010 with great goals, anticipation, enthusiasm and energy. How are you doing so far? Are you on track with your goals? How’s that diet and exercise program working so far?

I don’t ask this just to be a pain in your hind side. I ask as a coach. We all need encouragement at times. We all get “stuck” sometimes because we are juggling so many commitments and activities. Decide what is most important to you and add some sincere effort to it today.

The difference between try and triumph is a little umph. ~Author Unknown If you need a hand for that extra “umph” - feel welcome to hire a coach you can relate to.

February can be your “fresh start” month to make those things happen that are important to you!

Goals for 2010

This is one of my favorite times of the year. I enjoy most of this week reflecting on my personal and professional highlights this year. There have been quite a few “positives” and a few challenges as well. Overall, it’s been a great year to test my own attitude and “tough-mindedness” and as you can see ~ I survived! (although I do feel like I’ve aged 5 years in the last twelve months)

Some people talk about new year “resolutions” and changes you want to make. My suggestion to you is to keep your list to a few major focuses and be specific. Personally, I prefer to set Goals instead of resolutions. If you need more details about setting SMART goals, visit my Blog from Optimist Island http://optimistisland.blogspot.com
