Could It Be Magic?

I have just signed up for Dax Moy's Magic Hundred programme and I'm so excited! I was listening to an interview with him as I was driving yesterday and was so inspired I decided to sign up as soon as I got home.

Essentially, it involves setting 100 goals and taking action towards achieving those goals over the next 100 days. I've seen the programme before but always let the 'realist' or the 'doubter' in my mind stop me actually doing it, by telling me I couldn't possibly achieve 100 things in such a short time span! I literally let the opportunity pass me by as I couldn't face the idea of facing my goals head on, I guess fear of failure made me ignore it and carry on as I was. Listening to the interview was enough to inspire me - even if you don't achieve all you set out to at least you are a whole lot further down the road than you were when you started!

It's not so much a goal setting exercise, more a goal getting exercise. These don't need to be 'SMART' goals in the normal sense - you are encouraged to think big, not limiting yourself to ones you think are 'Achieveable' or 'Realistic' - but the ones you think right now are pipe dreams - you will surprise yourself, I'm certain of it!

As I mentioned yesterday, I'm rapidly approaching 30 and want to get there being able to say I've achieved certain things, but life can so easily just cruise on (July already?!) and you realise you've not found the time for all those plans. This has come at an absolutely ideal time for me - I have 120 days of my 20s left! I almost didn't get it straight away, as I have a few other projects going on at the moment and thought I'd complete those first, but then realised that was pure prevarication, so bit the bullet and took action number one and signed up.

I am going to get all my private clients to sign up to the programme as I want to share my goal-getting journey with them, and I would love it if all you you guys did too! You can even create a Magic Hundred Blog and share your progress. I'll be charting my progress here!

Come and join me on my journey!
