Wayne Dyer: Self-development author and speaker

"You can set yourself up to be sick, or you can choose to stay well."

Remember the television commercial that promoted some cold medicine with the jingle “I haven’t got time for a cold…”? That song rings true for all illness and disease. Sickness simply keeps you from achieving your goals and living your life. No one chooses to be sick. But, if there were a way, everyone would choose to stay well. Now there is a way. Dr. Mark Hyman shows you how.

Wallace D. Wattles: Was a self-help author

"If you have not consciously made the decision to be rich, excellent, and healthy, then you have unconsciously made the decision to be poor, mediocre, and unhealthy."

How has Tiger Woods excelled at The Masters? Does he arrive in Augusta on tournament day and blindly approach each hole simply hoping his shots find the greens? Not even close. Tiger watches hundreds of hours of course footage, and he plays the entire course over and over in his mind before he actually approaches the first tee. That’s the power of the conscious mind. It not only works for golf, it works for anything you wish to achieve in life: wealth, health, and success. Bob Proctor reveals how your mind is the breeding ground for everything you achieve.

Erich Fromm: Was a psychoanalyst and philosopher

"A person's main task in life is to give birth to oneself."

No matter your sex or your age, you can still give birth. Giving birth to a new self is a goal that most people seek, but few accomplish. Use the fresh start of this year to improve just one thing about yourself — your charisma. Charisma is perhaps the one elusive character trait that positively impacts your entire world. When you’re charismatic, people gravitate to you, open doors for you, and help to make your life the best it can be. Dr. Tony Alessandra teaches you how to live a more charismatic life.

Bob Proctor: Motivational author and lecturer

"You will be amazed at how much free time you actually have when you never have to think about or worry about money."

Imagine if your money worries were replaced by the excitement of choosing your next new car. Imagine if money guilt were replaced by a calm bliss that envelops your life. Imagine if the struggles, fights, and unhappiness surrounding money were replaced by long walks, meaningful discussions, and unbridled happiness with your spouse. Money may not buy happiness, but it does buy contentment, peace of mind, and a better life. Bob Proctor reveals the science-based secret to getting rich.

Oscar Maximilian Bircher-Benner: Was a Swiss physician and nutritionist

"There are two great medicines: diet and self-control."

Many of us begin truly saving for retirement when faced with turning 60. We begin looking for a new job only when faced with unemployment. And we begin to get serious about diet, exercise, and self-control when face-to-face with our doctor who’s holding some grim test results. All of our good intentions aside, we tend to live life backwards. Rather than depend on medicine when faced with illness or disease, we should focus on medicines that prevent illness and disease. Dr. Mark Hyman shows you how his proven brand of diet and self-control is the key to “ultraprevention.”

William Shakespeare: 16th-17th century English poet and playwright

"Better three hours too soon, than one minute too late."

When do many people start exercising? Immediately after their doctor tells them their health is in danger. Too late. When do many people start saving for retirement? When retirement looms just a few years away. Too late. When do people truly appreciate their marriage, their children, or their own lives? When they think they might lose them. Too late. Now you can do something to ensure that you aren’t one minute too late in 2008. Create your own personal Mission Statement. And start living for today.

Henry Ford : Founder, Ford Motor Company

"Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs."

Imagine building a new, severely complicated product and building it in mass quantity. That’s the task in front of Henry Ford a century ago. Yet, rather than letting the difficulty of building over a million Model T’s overwhelm him, he created the assembly line, thus reducing each machine to many small jobs. Doubling your income sounds impossible, but adding an extra thousand each month makes it much simpler. As 2008 is staring you in the face, decide how you can divide each goal into bite-sized mini-goals. And if you haven’t set your goals yet, our Mission Statement Builder is one of the best goal-setting tools available for free.

Zig Ziglar: American author, salesperson, and motivational speaker

"It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action and discipline that enabled us to follow through."

Character. Commitment. Discipline. All three are vital to achieve your 2008 resolutions. Yet for most people, everyday self-discipline is a constant struggle. After your first few weeks in your resolution quest, self-discipline may become your biggest challenge. Therefore, you need an even more practical solution. Kerry Johnson provides to you his years of experience in eliminating any struggle from making self-discipline an integral part of meeting your 2008 goals.

Richard Koch: Author, management consultant

"The few things that work fantastically well should be identified, cultivated, nurtured, and multiplied."

Thousands of people have discovered that their lives significantly improve when they heed the advice of Richard Koch. You can improve your 2008 by accomplishing the goals that you set forth in your own personalized Mission Statement. The Mission Statement works because your goals are, first, identified. Next, your goals are cultivated and nurtured throughout 2008 with hard work and determination. Last, when you multiply your hard work on your mission throughout the year, you will have accomplished something that few do: success.

Leo Buscaglia: Was an inspirational author and professor

"The loving person is a person who abhors waste—waste of time, waste of human potential. How much time we waste. As if we were going to live forever."

Because you are reading this, you must be someone who values your time. Ask yourself these questions: Do you evaluate every task to first determine if it will benefit your life? Do you tend to put off immediate pleasures so you can accomplish your long-term goals? Throughout 2008, focus on making every second count. Only then will you have minimized wasted time and maximized your life. Elaine St. James helps you find more happiness and purpose in your life.
