Editorial Reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Motivating and Inspiring..., March 1, 2010

By	Judy Smith "judylynnsbooks" (jamestown, ky United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Achieve Anything In Just One Year: Be Inspired Daily to Live Your Dreams and Accomplish Your Goals (Paperback)

I read a lot of these type of books and hoped I would find something new and more interesting in this one than the last few I have read. I found lots of new ideas and felt inspired right from the beginning. The author is so good and knows how to hold your attention.

You are supposed to read a page a day, but it was so interesting that I kept reading until I finished the whole book. But that's okay, because now I plan on going back and reading one page a day and do any exercises he advises you to do. Example: write down your dreams and see what you can do to head in the direction of that dream. All you need is a notebook to go with this book. I found the inspiring words by famous people at the top of each page really nice and they will make you stop and think.

He also gives great examples and you will find yourself comparing it to yourself or to people you know. Like those who sit around talking and planning constantly but never going into action or accomplishing anything. You don't have to have great ambitions to enjoy this book because even if you want to accomplish small things, it will help you get started. Small starts sometimes produce great results though so who knows what will happen then.

I wondered if I would find my biggest fault in there somewhere and I did. I am a loner but seem to collect people. If I walk down the road, I come home with all the dogs in the neighborhood following me. I didn't object to the dogs, but then people started following also, wanting to be friends, taking up my time, etc. Well, the author says I need to "get over myself". OK, ok. I'll try to be friendlier and stop hiding. (I didn't realize I had so many faults until I started reading this book.) But don't worry, he has great suggestions for making you "get over yourself".

A great book, well written and very inspiring and motivating. Something new on every page and so easy to absorb since it's laid out as a day by day plan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life coach helps you find success and happiness one day at a time., June 19, 2010

This review is from: Achieve Anything In Just One Year: Be Inspired Daily to Live Your Dreams and Accomplish Your Goals (Paperback)

I've always been a fan of reading or listening to a daily motivational message. It's helped me cope with life and its many problems and challenges. In this new book by certified life coach, Jason Harvey, we have an opportunity to read a motivational message each day. One page is dedicated to a different message designed to help you have a happy and prosperous life.

Jason writes, "This book is designed to be used daily over the span of one year. You will need a quiet place and five to ten minutes, along with a pen and a notebook."

He also says, "Many of us capture the spark of motivation for a period of time, but then it fizzles out and drops us back into our familiar routines. This book is meant to give you a daily nudge or a daily glimmer of hope to keep you motivated. Change is not a one-time explosion of opportunity. It is a slow-burning fire that needs to be tended constantly. These pages will provide fuel for your fire."

Every day for one year you will read a quote and an accompanying lesson or story in the book. Every lesson will contain one idea for you to consider. I find in my own life and in my work as well that most often all I need is one good idea to fuel the activity that will take me to the next level. Finding that idea is the hard part. That's where this book comes in.

You simply read one page each day. Think about its message and how it applies to you. Taking notes helps you to crystallize your thinking. So, it's a good idea to take as many notes as you need. Write in the book if you like. Make this book your friend and guide, your inspiration and motivation.

One thing I like about this book compared to many motivational day-at-a-time books is that it makes you responsible for your own situation. That gives you a mind boggling amount of empowerment. For example for day two you'll read, "It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." - J.K. Rowling

Then we read how we shape our future daily through the choices we make. Notice it doesn't say our future is shaped by what others do to us or say about us. No. It says our future is shaped by our choices. How true!

Yes, this is a book about empowerment and I highly recommend it to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bold Title, But Also A Bold Book, January 20, 2010

By	Roger Monty (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Achieve Anything In Just One Year: Be Inspired Daily to Live Your Dreams and Accomplish Your Goals (Paperback)

This book will change your life, plus it is a very entertaining read wit excellent advice!

Yes the title is a little bold, but the author does need to get your attention with so many other books out there. That said I think the book could help you achieve a lot over the course of one year. It(the book) basically takes you on a journey of self discovery - really forcing you to figure out what is important in your life and what you really want from it. I like the daily format, very easy to manage. Thank-you Jason Harvey.
