Great piece Gary. It would have been so easy not to publish those negative comments and let it go as just another person with something negative to say. What I liked about this is that I have been watching and reading and watching your blogs for the last year and know that this is something you do every day if it is required. You genuinely mean this stuff. You have an integrity and authenticity that I admire enormously. I hope I can continue to model my business and site in such an honest way. Thank you.

Hi Sid

Thanks so much for your lovely, prompt response. I'm sorry I didn't make it clearer in my note but I wouldn't dream of claiming the credit for your work. What I should have said was that I would like to put a link within my blog to your article so I will use the one in the mail from you below.

Thanks again. Wishing you a joyful and peaceful day.

Oh and thanks for the follow on Twitter - if I haven't already I will follow you back.

Regards

Jules

Thank you so much for this post. You've saved me a great deal of time!

In the past I have attended many training courses where this study was cited. So often in fact that I began to weave it into my own training courses when I deliver. How embarrassing! I had always felt a level of discomfort at not having the actual study to hand and have had it on my list of things to do to search it out so that I could quote it with total accuracy. Finally getting round to looking it up got me to your blog and I am borderline horrified to read that the study never took place.

I did actually write down my goals some years ago and I achieved mostly everything that I wanted to within that particular year. However, I have achieved a great deal since then by just mentally focussing on what I want and so far seem to be having exactly the same level of success.

Perhaps at it's simplest level just having goals is enough to create momentum in someone? If writing them down works for you but not for me then surely it doesn't make much of a difference does it? As long as we are moving towards the things we want that will make us truly happy then it doesn't really matter what 'methodology' we apply.

Thanks again for taking the time to do the research - I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I am currently writing a blog on Goal Setting on my own site and also wanted to ask your permission to reference your blog within mine? I hope that's ok.

Great site. Jules
