Yesterday’s post referenced my all time favorite book on slipping past the (sometimes well intentioned) procrastination giant. It’s subtitled: “Short, Simple Steps To Achieving Long-Term Goals” and is available on Amazon.com.

I’ve read and lent Al Secunda’s book out so many times that the pages are coming apart! And he’s such a great storyteller that you may find his messages strolling the corridors of your mind and even taking up residence, if you’ll but open the door.

QUIZ:

Here are 5 key concepts I got just from the first 3 chapters of the book.

To make it a wee bit more of a challenge please fill in the blanks (my suggested answers will be included with tomorrow’s post.

1- For many people their biggest —- remain —- —-.

2- Al’s purpose is to help people —- with their goal and keep —- to —- it.

3- Unexplored —— can leave a —– in your ——.

4- The premise of the 15 second principle is that either you don’t really —- about your dream goal or you are —- to death of it!

5- If it’s not —- stop —- it.

What’s any of this got to do with successful career change?

Perhaps everything!

You see, our biggest dreams can remain frozen fantasies throughout life – mere blocks of unsculpted (n)ice thoughts. Or, with attention and effort, they can start to take on form and meaning.

Either way, the ice will melt.

I want to discuss this further in tomorrow’s post.
