To Clear Up Confusion About 101 Goal Setting Breakthroughs

by Brad Isaac on January 31, 2008

A lot of people are emailing and posting comments about the missing parts of 101 Goal Setting Breakthroughs: A 31 Day Blog Series That Will Make 2008 Your Best Year Ever!  

If you feel you are missing parts there are two reasons:

1   I used a template that posted the wrong numbers to some of the tips.
2.  I wasn’t clear to you about how the tips would be presented and counted.

I still have the rest to post (I know, I know I’m late!)  I am usually slammed, but this has been the busiest January of my entire life.  Regretfully I am running 2 or 3 days behind on the posts.

How the series changed…

Quality:  When I first embarked on this journey, I figured I’d do two to four posts a day consisting of one paragraph tips.  Instead, when I started getting into it, I started having a great time.  Most of the posts exceed 500 words.  And I feel that many of them are some of the best in this blog’s history. 

Reader response has born this out and inspired me keep with quality over quickness. 

I understand some of you, because of shyness or fear of public scrutiny, decided to email me directly instead of posting your comments.  I especially enjoyed hearing stories of how one of the breakthroughs came just at the perfect moment and you were able to solve a problem in the nick of time. 

More emails revealed the confused sadness over the loss of a love and how one of the articles “turned on all the lights” for you.  Candidly, I am not sure which post you are speaking of, but that’s ok.   I often enter a state of “writing flow” where the words race onto the page as if I am transcribing them from some other source.  I believe the flow state involves sensory memory, which is fleeting and gone.   I’ve learned to trust this state of streamwriting

Without trying to sound like a complete nut job, some of the posts were so completely inspired, I can’t necessarily remember what I said.  However, I am happy the posts have helped you.  That is, after all, the whole point of this blog.

So although I am disappointed it’s talking longer than I thought, the results are much better than I had hoped for. 

Compiling all the information…

When I am done I’ll compile them all into one humongous post.  it won’t contain all the content from the posts in the series.  Instead it will have the title of the tip, a short blurb and a link to the larger posting. That way we’ll all be on the same page :)  

Thanks for reading, I am glad you are here!

Good idea to compile them. I’ll keep an eye out for that and will enjoy reviewing these all over again! Thanks!
