Product Description
Product Description
This is a self improvement, motivational and personal development book that is designed to be read on a daily basis. One page a day for one year. Each page starts with an inspirational quote, followed by a discussion of that day's topic, and ends with a task or an assignment for the reader to follow.
Achieve Anything in Just One Year equips readers with the tools to:
- Be truly committed. Don't just go through the motions - act like you're making a promise to your company, or to your best friend.
- Be specific. A resolution like "I want to lose weight" is easier to ignore than "I want to lose five pounds by March."
- Set a deadline. A timeframe equals commitment and helps quantify success.
- Avoid overwhelming yourself. You may want to lose weight, quit smoking, achieve moderation with martinis and cut up your credit cards all at once, but let's get real. Focus on a limited set of goals and plan on taking stock mid-year.
- Change one thing at a time. Recognize that change is hard. Wait to achieve one goal before starting on the next.
- Be realistic. Taking charge of a fitness regimen is a realistic goal, while exercising seven days a week may not be. Don't set yourself up for disappointment with lofty goals.
The idea is to take daily action that creates a ripple effect in your life.
By transforming your life with small steps, you can stay motivated, focused and balanced. Best of all, you will feel happier about pursuing your personal success.

A Must Read!,
By
This review is from: Achieve Anything in Just One Year: Be Inspired Daily to Live Your Dreams and Accomplish Your Goals (Paperback)
If you are an over thinker or worrier, like myself, this book will show you how to clear your mind and learn to relax. It's okay to take a step back from life once in a while!I'm not much of a writer but when I created a journal (as suggested on day 12) it really helped to organize my thoughts and create on order of importance in my life. It allowed me to express my feelings and emotions without fear of being judged or compared (as I would have felt speaking to a professional). I felt very proud of myself being able to work things out on my own! The quotes used were very motivational and they made me feel like I wasn't the only one going through life's challenges. My favorite one is, 'The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.' 'Michelangelo It's scary to think that YOU have the power to change your life by taking up a hobby, or just exploring new opportunities at your job. Any little thing can open new doors to you! Achieve Anything In Just One Year: Be Inspired Daily to Live Your Dreams and Accomplish Your Goals, is a very motivational and inspiring book, I have already recommended it to my friends!

A page a day keeps the doubt away,
By Glenn Simon Inc "Writer of Edmonton Real Esta... (Edmonton, Alberta / Tochigi, Japan) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Achieve Anything in Just One Year: Be Inspired Daily to Live Your Dreams and Accomplish Your Goals (Paperback)
Achieve Anything In Just One Year is a year long program with a page a day premise. The title sounds ambitious but I believe you can certainly change your thinking, preconceived notions and happiness by following this book.
I want to start by saying I have a 2 year old. So what? Try and read a whole book or even more than a page with a toddler and you will know what I mean. Therefore for me the whole page a day worked really well at this point in my life. I could, however, see how that would be a little frustrating if you had all the time you desired to read a book. Certainly the times when I could read more I did skip and read 10 or 20 pages. That is the reason I only gave it four stars because if you're already lacking motivation then sticking with a one year program might be a little tough. I liked how the book started with inspirational quotes and then followed them with a few paragraphs on how you could take those words of wisdom and use them in your life. Some were trite but aren't many truths? I mean you read and think "duh" but then do the exact opposite in your life...well at least I do. (Thus reading so many self help books!) There are sections on laughter, challenge, goal setting, truthfulness, breathing and playing to name a few each about covering about 5 days/pages worth. So in fact you do spend more time on one theme and can work with it over a few days. I liked that that gave me time to implement and layer the techniques I was learning. It's a great way to build your understanding and gives you time to fail and then retry again. I'm also a big fan of being able to open and book and take that one discrete bit of wisdom for my day or apply it to a challenge I'm facing. This book is perfect for that. It's full of many small actions that if followed could absolutely help you achieve your goals. As they say "A thousand mile journey starts with one step." So as far as self-help books go this is a good tool to own. Frankly if I walk away with one thought from a book that can help me improve I'm happy. I certainly got a lot out of it and still do.

The Perfect Gift For Yourself or Your Loved Ones,
By J. A. Broad "Julie Broad (http://www.revnyou.... (Vancouver) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Achieve Anything in Just One Year: Be Inspired Daily to Live Your Dreams and Accomplish Your Goals (Paperback)
When I sat down to read this book I had about an hour to read ... and I was shocked to find out I was actually only supposed to read one page a day! HUH?!
So I confess I actually read about 80 pages all at once - which is totally not what you're supposed to do but I was so curious about what I was supposed to do next that I couldn't help it. So here's the thing ... I haven't done what the book said exactly. And I cheated by reading a whole bunch at once but I absolutely adore this book and the concept behind it. And I highly recommend you get a copy for yourself or for someone you love if that person needs some: - inspiration - direction - items to act on - the means to control their own life. I believe the words chosen to begin the book were very wisely selected with the quote from Marin Luther King Jr. "Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." I think that is the foundation of success but most people don't know where to begin. This book gives you the beginning and I believe that if you follow this book each day you will achieve great things in a year ... which is a great gift to give yourself or someone you love. Plus you'll probably finding yourself smiling and enjoying the journey because I found myself smiling just reading the book and thinking about some of the exercises and I was cheating. :)
