A Great 2008?

With the festivities behind us, and as we head into another New Year, many people, despite the governments’ bleak forecast for 2008 will be looking forward with hope and optimism.

Equally, many will be setting goals and making plans to make this year better than the last; to get in shape, to kick a habit, to get out of debt, to take the holiday of a lifetime, or to get that dream job.

If you doubt this, then just look at the tell tale signs all around us each January:

Gym carparks are fuller than usual and membership applications peak;
Television adverts for “quit smoking” products fill our screens;
Weight loss clubs begin canvassing, and again, memberships peak;
Magazines and newspapers are full of “detox” programs, and healthy food adverts;
Exotic holiday adverts appear on our screens the moment Christmas is over;
Sales of organisers and planners soar as we attempt to get ourselves “organised”
The streets are busier than usual with joggers and cyclists;
Sales of home gym exercise products soar.

And so the list goes on. Of course advertisers are very well aware of the psychological effect on us as the calender rolls over from December 31st to January 1st, and they tap into the great human desire for positive change, offering us products and services which can magically bring our goals into reality.

And yet how many people will reach the end of the year either no better, or slightly worse of than when the year began?

The fact is, goal setting is the easy part - it’s very easy to get inspired, enthused and motivated at the beginning, and to set noble and lofty goals for ourselves. But it’s how we stick to those goals and ambitions once the initial euphoria wears off (usually sometime towards the end of January).

Goal setting is easy – making lasting, permanent change in our lives is not.

Here at Champions Club we understand that, and such is our aim to provide you with inspirational and motivational resources to keep you going when the inevitable obstacles appear between you and your goals. To keep you in touch with a community of like minded individuals who, like you, are striving to make their own positive changes in life.

So if you haven’t already set your own goals for 2008, then I would encourage you to do so, but more importantly I would also encourage you to continue to visit Champions Club often during your journey, and to help us help you to have a truly outstanding 2008!

Good luck with your own goals in 2008 and stay focused!

Kind Regards,

Guy Insull,
