Tim - The SuccessManiac — Fri, 05 Feb 2021 11:00:30 +0000

Success is a journey. We’ve all heard this before. It’s a simple concept and powerful too because it’s so obviously true. Success is about getting from where we are to where we want to go. Simple as that. Get your map out and get started. You’ll be there in no time. Right? OK. That’s not […]

Mental Hoarding Will Kill Your Goal Achievement

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Wed, 03 Feb 2021 11:00:18 +0000

You’ve probably seen, or at least heard of, the show, Hoarders. It’s about people who have become so attached to their things that they can’t bear to let them go or throw them away. It gets so bad in many cases on the show that houses are unsafe to live in. Junk clutters the entire […]

How Do I Commit TOTALLY to My Goals?

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Sun, 31 Mar 2019 13:23:25 +0000

Commitment is one of the scariest words in any language. It has so much meaning, possibility, opportunity and responsibility wrapped up in those three little syllables. When we commit to something, we make a promise at least to ourselves and often to others. These promises are show that we are serious, driven and all in. […]

One of the biggest problems people have in achieving their Goals is that they get discouraged, distracted or diverted from the end result.

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Tue, 29 Jan 2019 13:01:02 +0000

As we near the end of January of the New Year, it’s that magical time for two groups of people. For those who have Resolutions for the New Year, the overwhelming majority either have or shortly will give up and return to their old lives or at least pretending to work on change in their […]

I missed last week’s update, and I really am kicking myself for it. First I want to do this every week and second, I had a really good week last week. Had a good week this week too. So, here we go… On January 18th I weighed in at 247.6 pounds for a loss of […]

3 Reasons Why People Fail at New Year’s Resolutions

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 13:38:58 +0000

Each year on January 1st, a large segment of the population think they become super-achievers and Goal-Setters. They “set” New Year’s Resolutions, firmly (sort of) intending to change their lives. Some people loudly proclaim their resolutions. By the end of January, almost all of them are done. They aren’t done because they’ve accomplished their resolutions, […]

Productivity Is a Trap When Pursuing Your Goals

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Mon, 21 Jan 2019 17:13:07 +0000

Broadly speaking productivity is the measurement of how much you get done how quickly. We want to see our personal productivity rise, especially as we’re trying to achieve greater and greater Goals. It gives us a great sense of satisfaction and achievement to get more done in less time, as it should. The productivity trap […]

Celebrating Your Success With Rewards

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Thu, 17 Jan 2019 14:04:30 +0000

One of the ways we motivate ourselves to achieve our Goals is to give ourselves rewards for Success along the way. When we reach a milestone Goal, overcome a particularly difficult obstacle or finish the work of achieving the Goal itself, it’s a great idea to build in a reward for these achievements. Why do […]

Your Most Important Goal Isn’t Always the Biggest

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Tue, 15 Jan 2019 14:44:27 +0000

What’s your most important Goal? Not your biggest Goal, because size has nothing to do with importance when it comes to Goals. There’s often a correlation, meaning that being important isn’t what makes a Goal big. And being a big Goal doesn’t make it important. So what makes a Goal big, and what makes a […]

Flexibility is Key to Achieving Our Goals

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Mon, 14 Jan 2019 14:07:16 +0000

Goal Setting and achieving those Goals is more than just creating the Goal and putting a date on it. The Goal is the easy part. The hard part is in the execution, in how we achieve that Goal. You see, no matter what not all Goals will be achieved without setbacks or something getting in […]

Goal-Setting and a Morning Routine

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Fri, 11 Jan 2019 14:35:33 +0000

There is a definite correlation between achieving our Goals and our morning routine, and it should support our pursuit of our Goals. A morning routing is what you do in the morning from when you get up to when you leave for or start work. The end point is up to you. A typical morning […]

3 Ways Goals Are Better Than Resolutions

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Thu, 10 Jan 2019 13:43:17 +0000

I want to talk a little bit about the difference between Resolutions and Goals. In an ideal world, they’re the same thing when structured correctly. However, in the real world, they just aren’t anywhere near the same. Why is that? Every year it seems everyone including their brother-in-law’s hamster has some New Year’s Resolutions. So […]

Don’t Let Schedule Disruptions Destroy Your Momentum

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Wed, 09 Jan 2019 14:10:04 +0000

One of the things that can derail us from achieving our Goals is a small setback, or something not going exactly as planned. It throws off our thinking, our planning and our momentum. As we pursue our Goals, we’re often either very focused on what we’re doing and getting ready for the next task. That […]

Distractions – The Negative and the Positve

Tim - The SuccessManiac — Tue, 08 Jan 2019 14:09:39 +0000

Distractions are the bane of the achiever’s existence. Why? When we get distracted, we change our focus. Our rhythm is disrupted. Our flow is interrupted. If you’re in the Zone, one of the worst things is for someone to drop by your desk, office or wherever you’re “Zoning” and strike up a conversation. In the […]
