Goal Slump? How to Overcome It by Charting a Course for Success! January 1st, we make resolutions; by Jan 31st, we've broken our promises (or want to); Come spring, we're sunk. Why? Because we set Should-Would-Could goals instead of Realistic, and most importantly: Good-for-Me Goals. Using snippets culled from THE WAR OF ART by Steve Pressfield, THE PASSION TEST by Janet and Chris Attwood, THE SECRET by Rhonda Byrne and anecdotes and antidotes culled from Kelly's own long and winding career, we'll map our own way forward with the end goal of personal fulfillment. If it sounds whooo-whooo it will be.
