A Very Interesting Harvard Study On Goals [video]

Harvard Study – Goals

In 1979 interviewers found that of Harvard’s MBA Program graduates:

·         84% had no specific goals at all.

·         13% had goals but they were not written.

·         3% had clear, written goals.

Ten years later the interviewers found that:

·         The 13% of the class who had goals were earning, on average, twice as much as the 84 percent who had no goals at all.

·         The 3% who had clear, written goals were earning, on average, ten times as much as the other 97 percent put together.

– What They Don’t Teach You in the Harvard Business School, by Mark McCormack

I attended a conference in Las Vegas on October 21, 23 and 24, 2016 with 1000 other individuals who have their own online business. This event featured several 6 and 7-figure internet marketers. These are people who are involved in successful online businesses and make over $100,000 a year and more… much more in some cases. And they love to share their stories and how others can do it too!

One of the speakers was a Hollywood insider as well, and this is what he had to say about YouTube:

• You have to be doing videos; tell stories, especially your story!
• Keep your videos short… 3-5 minutes.
• Good video quality is important, so be sure to have good lighting.
• Good audio is more important than good video quality – use a lavalier microphone.
• Your smartphone is great for shooting quality videos.
• Tell your story, as YOU are the secret sauce!

To your success,

Hello, and thanks for your interest in my blog!

Today I'd like to talk about being outside of one's comfort zone and I will most likely be writing about this again in the future, as it's so important for personal growth. 

Years ago I listened to an audio program. I think it was a Brian Tracy program and he said "Get comfortable being uncomfortable." 

I remember a time when I put this to use when I wanted to be a better public speaker, so I asked a dear friend and mentor, Ronna Herman Vezane, if she would allow me to introduce her at an upcoming seminar. She agreed and I introduced her at the seminar. I remember shaking like a leaf as I stood there in front of sixty-five people. Now when I speak in front of groups I feel comfortable and relaxed - at ease - because I faced my fears. 

Magic happens outside of our comfort zone.

I encourage you to spend time outside of your comfort zone. 

Jack Canfield says: "Most everything you want is just outside your comfort zone."

I encourage you to make life an adventure!

The main focus of this blog will be the following:

Self-help, because we have the ability to change and since we can change, we may as well change for the better.

Internet based business, because an internet based business is something people can do from home, and on a laptop while they’re traveling… it can be done anywhere in the world, as long as you have a good internet connection. And it provides freedom – lots of freedom! There are numerous ways to approach an internet business these days, so there is a lot to choose from. 

Travel will be another topic covered from time to time. I love to travel and I enjoy sharing my travel experiences.

A Little About Me...

My name is Randall Monk. At the age of 71 (as I write this) I’ve been around the block a few times. I was born and raised in a small Illinois farm town, joined the U.S. Army right out of high school, and moved to Northern California… the San Francisco Bay Area after being discharged from the Army. Initially I lived in Oakland, California, where I attended a local junior college and obtained an Associate Degree, while I was learning to fly airplanes. I was planning to be a commercial pilot at the time. Instead, I became a black belt in Kenpo Karate and Danzan Ryu Jujitsu and taught martial arts for a number of years.

I remained in California for forty-two years; where I was in the mortgage business for just shy of thirty years. I moved back to Illinois in 2008 and am about to move to the Reno, Nevada area. I miss the mountains!

I’ve been involved in self-help and internet marketing for a number of years. I started studying self-improvement in the early 1970’s and started poking my toes into the internet marketing business around 2007.

Have I been successful in the internet marketing business? Marginally; however, I believe that’s about to improve and I’d like to take you on that journey with me and to do that I’ll be sharing my story and experiences as I go.

Because I have a wealth of information from my many years of being a student of self-help (and I still am a student, as well as a teacher) I’ll be sharing that information as well.

I hope you’ll consider allowing me to participate in your life in a positive manner. I love sharing what I’ve learned over the years and, being young at heart, I continue to learn and grow mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Til next time,

Randall Monk
