We had a chance to talk to Austin Hastings (AustinHastings.com), Scott’s son and my brother, who’s currently training for the San Fransisco Marathon in August 2008 and sending a powerful message with his training.

His 26.2 mile run will be dedicated to our Mom, Sheryl, who passed in December 2006 from cancer. More importantly, we’re all taking this chance to give our thanks to the Hospice of the Comforter organization, who supported “The Smiths” in 2006 and allowed our Mom the time to really teach us the value of life.

We’re thrilled to be able to give a ‘little something’ back… and we’d love your help too.

If you’re interested in learning more about Austin’s marathon fund raiser, to benefit the Hospice of the Comforter here in Florida, please visit http://www.AustinHastings.com.

Do you know what the difference is between having a goal and having a dream?

The answer is simple.

Goals are dreams that have been turned into reality through a serious of actionable steps.

The truth is - if you want more in your life, you MUST understand how to set and achieve goals or you are doomed to live a life of frustration.

To heck with that!

If you are ready to learn the exact process for turning dreams into reality I want to invite you to join me for my next FREE teleseminar.  Here’s the info:

************************************************************
Event:  Daily Boost LIVE
Subject:  How To Set and Achieve Goals:  A Step-By-Step Explanation

Date:  Wednesday, March 12th, 2008
Time: 8 pm Eastern

Admission: FREE! (no membership required)
Register Now
************************************************************

The Daily Boost LIVE is based on our hugely successful daily program and takes it to an entirely different level.

Ever since I started The Daily Boost, folks have asked me to dig deeper and get more specific.  They’ve asked for more examples, exercises and skill-developing workshop style information – something that was impossible in a 9-minute program.

Not anymore!

This Wednesday, March 12th at 8 pm Eastern you are going to become a goal setting and achieving supernova!  I know!  How cool is that?

That fact is, there is nothing more powerful than having the “skill” of goal setting etched into your brain.  Yes – I said skill!

Understanding why goals work, the steps to properly setting goals and the process of achieving goals will put you on a path to success that you’ve been looking for.  It’s not magic – you just need to know basics like this:

* Why You Must Have Goals In Your Life

* Understanding The Difference Between Dreams And Goals.

* The Harvard Study That Proves Goals Work.

* How Goal Setting Puts The Law of Attraction in Action

* Why Goals Work And Making Them Work For You

* Using Goals To Get What You Want.

* Why You MUST Put Your Goals In Written Form.

* Stop The Confusion:  How To Decide What You Want.

* Understand How Timelines And Deadline Make Goals Real

* Why You Need Short, Medium and Long Term Goals.

* Why You MUST Use Outcome -Based Thinking With Goals.

* Seven Steps to Setting And Achieving Your Goals

* How To Monitor, Adjust And Complete Goals

Now, I have to warn you – that is a lot to learn in a 59 - minute seminar, so if I were you I would have a pen and paper handy to take notes because I am going to fill your brain to the rim.

Remember – it only happens once!

This FREE seminar is Wednesday, March 12th at 8pm.

If I were you I print this email and tape it to your computer so you won’t forget.

Remember, the quality of your life is based on your ability to make a good decision… and do something about it.

Go register right now at http://www.motivationtomove.com/events and I’ll see you on the call.

I wish I where an astronaut!

Living in Florida, I’ve become accustom to watching the amazing spectacle of a Space Shuttle launch.

Sometimes I travel to the Kennedy Space Center on my Harley and pick a spot along the Indian River with tens of thousands of others to witness this truly awe-inspiring event!

And as a pilot - I’m even more amazed!

As part of our training, pilots occasionally practice an “Engine Out” landing so we know how to land the plane in the event of an emergency. Passengers are always amazed when I stop the engine and the airplane simply keeps on flying gently to the ground.

While the Space Shuttle weighs more than 4.5 million pounds, the concept is still the same.  Momentum, once established though massive force, takes very little effort to maintain and allows for effortless control.

Hmmm?  I wonder if NASA heard me say, “Stand Up, Take a Step, Repeat”?

The most difficult part of any challenge is getting started and the rest takes very little effort.  That’s what the Start Moving Stay Moving Plan is all about and it’s what we’ll be talking about THIS TUESDAY during our FINAL tele-seminar.

Winter is in full swing, we’re spending more time inside, and germs are everywhere.  It’s a miracle we all don’t get sick… or is it? 

In a study conducted by Cornell University researcher John Cawley, PhD, it turns out average weight Americans use about two sick days off per year.  Overweight folks use six! 

Not only does it stink to get sick – it’s also bad for you bank account.

Employee sick days cost business about 9% - or $660 per day in lost productivity.  Take six days off per year and you’re costing your employer $3,960! 

On the other hand, if you hit the gym and drop a few pounds you’ll end up like my fiancé Joi, with 67 unused sick days worth $44,220 to her employer.  That’s got to look good at her annual review!

So what’s my point?

Losing weight and getting fit will not only make you feel great and live long, you’ll also increase your value and will enjoy incredible benefits because of it.

If you’re ready to live THAT kind of life – make a note right this minute to join me THIS Monday for Class #3 of the Start Moving Stay Moving Plan.  It’s a FREE class so make a note of these details:

In case you didn’t catch the announcement made in the News section of the MTM website -

We will be installing some upgrades to the MTM Land Community Forum this weekend and will be taking the forum offline to complete the upgrades. The upgrades will begin at 2 PM Eastern on Sunday February 10, 2008 and we expect the forum to be offline for a very short period of time. If for any reason the upgrades take longer than anticipated, we’ll keep you updated in the News section of the MTM website.

Any posts that are submitted to the forum before 2 PM will be protected during the upgrade. However, if you don’t submit your posts by 2 PM, I’d suggest saving a copy of the post and simply posting it when the forum comes back online later in the afternoon.

Thanks for understanding, and I hope you’ll enjoy the new upgrades.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and I still haven’t picked up a gift for Joi.

Of course, with her sweet tooth, chocolate would be a great place to start!

Did you know that according to the American Boxed Chocolate Manufacturers Association 80 percent of women and 75 percent of men would like to receive a gift of boxed chocolates?  Duh!

I know I’m on that list!

By the way - a 16-ounce box of chocolate is packed with 2,200 calories, which roughly translates into 4 hours on the treadmill.

So what’s my point?

Give chocolate, get chocolate, and enjoy chocolate… just not the entire box.  This might be a good time to consider sharing. 

It also might be a good time for you to join us for our second Start Moving Stay Moving class of the month this Monday.  This entire 4-week coaching series is FREE with your Premium Membership so make a note of these details:

Note: This adjustment only applies to you if you downloaded MTM Show #128 before 1/22/08.  If you downloaded MTM Show #128 after 1/22/08, you have the correct file and no adjustments are needed.

If you are using iTunes to download your MTM Show, you’ll need to “trick” iTunes into re-downloading the show. Here’s how:

1. In the Podcast area of your iTunes program, select the “incorrect” MTM Show #128 and delete it.
2. Select your “Motivation To Move” feed
3. On the bottom left, click “Unsubscribe”
4. Now Immediately click “Subscribe” (same button)
5. On the bottom right of iTunes, click “Refresh”.  Your new, correct MTM Show #128 should be available to download now.

By the way - this method will work for re-downloading any podcast through iTunes… and it sure is handy sometimes!
