What's the Big Deal of Writing Down Your Goals?

After being online for several years, and searching for the right niche to begin my internet empire it was no easy solution to the many questions I had on starting and managing a successful online business.One thing I've learned that I can give to you that may sound a little corny, however it holds a lot of water, and that is when you start a task be it small or a large one, you should never leave it till it's done. It will help to add a little smarts and persistence to follow through with whatever it is that your are working on. This may sound simple and grade school advice, however how many of us do it? With all of the distractions built around our daily lives it is no wonder you can't recall what you did just a minute ago. This is another reason why you should write down your short or immediate goals.For instance, I just recently, within a few years ago fully understood why you must do this, if you want to make some major improvements in your life; and I found this out by
reading an excellent book that pointed me in the right direction to help me bring my goals to life. The book is called, "Write It Down, Make It Happen", By Henriette Ann Klauser. Here is the reason why I write a daily one page memo to remind myself what it is I need to implement right now if I expect it to come into my world.Klauser says six important tips to remember:#1. "Writing down your dreams and aspirations is like hanging up a sign that says, Open for Business. Or, as my friend Elaine puts it, by writing it down, you declare yourself in the game. Putting it on paper alerts the part of your brain known as the reticular activating system to join you in the play. We have within us a small pea size gray mass called the Reticular activating system at the base of the brain stem, about the size of a little finger; it's this group of cells whose job it is, to sort and evaluate incoming data".#2. "This control center is known as reticular activating system (RAS). The RAS sends
the urgent stuff to the active part of your brain, and sends the nonurgent to the subconscious. The RAS awakens the brain to consciousness, and keeps it alert-just as surely as your baby's cry in the night, from all the way down the hall, can waken you from a deep sleep. The RAS evaluates the nonessential nighttime noises--the dripping faucet, the crickets, or neighborhood traffic--and filters out the non urgent, waking you up only for the urgent. The baby cries, and in a split second you are bolt upright in bed, wide awake and ready to rescue the infant in distress".#3. "The keenest, most familiar example of the reticular activating system at work is an experience all of us have had at one time or another. You are in a packed room; you can barely hear the conversation of the person you are talking to above the din of the crowd. Suddenly, someone clear on the other side of the room mentions your name. And that one word cuts through the sea of sound and your ears immediately
perk up. You turn your head toward the speaker, eager now to tune in the rest of what he or she is saying about you, straining to hear if it is good news, ready to defend the bad".#4. "That is a prime example of your monitoring mechanism, your reticular activating system, at work. You have just tuned in to something specific and useful to you. Although you may think you are giving your conversational companion undivided attention, the fact is your attention is fragmented and subconsciously taking in the tower of babel around you, sorting, sorting, sorting, even as you speak. Your name stands out as prominently as a spec of gold in a miner's pan of grave".#5. "The RAS is like a filtering system of the brain. Writing it down sets up the filter. Things start to appear--it's a matter of your system. If you have never owned a Honda before, and you buy a blue Honda, all of a sudden you see blue Hondas all over town. You might wonder, where are all these blue Hondas coming from? B
ut they were there all along; you were just not paying attention to them."#6. "Putting a goal in writing is like buying a blue Honda; it sets up a filter that helps you be aware of certain things in your surroundings. Writing triggers the RAS, which in turn sends a signal to the cerebral cortex: "Wake Up! Pay attention! Don't miss this detail! Once you write down a goal, your brain will be working overtime to see you get it, and will alert you to the signs and signals that, like the blue Honda, were there all along"I hope this has helped you, just as it has worked wonders for me and my online business of multiple stream of income from Google, eBay, ClickBank; etc. I can truly say after several years of being online, writing has helped define me, and improved my life, and awakened the RAS in me to put my website of multiple stream of internet income online. I hope it has for you as well, of course with the help of your RAS. Make It Happen, and Watch Out For The Signs And Sign
als Around You.Wishing all who read this and are inspired from it, joy and fulfillment with your internet business as you achieve your goals!Don HayesP.S If you have a similar RAS story to share, I would like to hear from you.
