Free Goal Setting Website

stephen-coveyI have been using a free goal setting website to track my goals for the past two weeks and I really like it.  My primary issue with respect to goal setting is that I set a goal and I get busy and forget about it until later. I have trouble keeping it in the front of my mind.

What I really like about this website is that it keeps me on track by emailing about my progress whenever I want it to.   This keeps the goals in front of me and does not let me forget them.   Another cool feature about the website is that you can become friends with other people that have similar goals as you and together you can form a support group.

The website is called The Community and it was started by Stephen Covey of 7 Habits of Highly Successful People fame.   The goals on the website are separated into 5 separate areas: Mind, Body, Spirit, Heart and General.  I would have liked to see Financial as a goal, but General is good enough.

If you have never read or listened to any of Dr. Dyer’s books before,

I learned this technique while listening to an Abraham-Hicks audiobook called The Law of Attraction.

The basic premise of the entire audiobook is that

Bruce Lee and Kicking Ass at Trading

I have realized recently that my lack of success in trading is purely psychological and I have been looking for books that will help me change the way I think and approach my everyday life.
