Lesson #2: Practice “restraint in regard to immediate profits”
Friends and foes alike thought Wrigley Jr. had gone mad at times, giving away free products relentlessly as he was prone to do. But what other saw as irresponsible, Wrigley Jr. saw as a concerted effort to take a long-term view with regard to his business and its success. After all, he had already put in years of hard work learning everything he could under his father, and he was not about to throw in the towel any time soon.

A Dead Simple Formula for Overcoming Twitter-Block (and Tweeting Like a Pro)
When people sign up for twitter and, shortly thereafter, cry, "I don't get it!" my impulse is to say, "Well, have you made a real effort to share and get to know people?" Let's face it: there may only be 140 characters in a tweet-a far cry from an article or blog post-but there is something intimidating about that little white box. It demands brevity. It craves succinctness. And it seems to implore profundity.

How To Generate ideas
In order to generate ideas, you first need to have a goal. A goal of what you want to achieve. This goal can be anything like losing weight, getting promoted, getting a salary increase, buying a new car, anything you really want to accomplish.
State your goals the SMART WAY
The first step in successfully executing a goal is to state it properly. You know your goal is well stated when anyone who reads it knows exactly what you are trying to accomplish and in what time frame. The better a person states the goal, the easier it is to create the action plan. An acronym commonly used for stating a goal properly is SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistically high, and Time-based).
Goal Setting
Instead of being overwhelmed by the enormity of his goal he just did 10% at a time and not only did he achieve his goal but after reaching his goal he took the next step and reevaluated his goals and set new ones.

Let The Trapeze Go
Well here we are; it’s June already. So what have you done with your first six months? Given vacations, holidays, heat waves and other days off, most people only actually work about 10 out of the 12 months of the year. That means you should be at 60% of your total sales goal by now. Are you at 60% and moving forward daily? Most salespeople I meet are already off target at this time of year. In fact, many of them have even started adjusting those lofty goals they set in January (remember those?) down a bit. Why does that happen to so many of us? And how do we change it? Let’s use a little analogy to clear things up.
The Incredible Benefits of Setting AND Achieving Your Goals
There is no way around the fact that a person must master the skill of goal-setting if he or she wants to scale the lofty heights all great achievers have climbed.
If You Want to Succeed … Have a Plan!
Ok well this isn't a trip journal, so I'll get to my point and how this all relates to what I have been writing about on this 30 day experiment. I have already written about accountability, having a positive attitude, and setting goals to help improve your chances of success. Well, just like my trip out west, if you set a goal that you truly want to achieve, it would be silly to believe you can just do whatever you want to achieve that goal. Sure you could just set the goal, think about it all the time, and do little tasks here and there that will help you advance towards the realization of that goal, but it would take you much longer to get there ... if you ever did.
SCORE Through Goal Setting
It is absolutely essential to become proficient at goal setting and goal achieving if you wish to feel fulfilled and to fulfill your potential as a human being. Goals add excitement and direction in life. Sadly it's said that only 3% of people write their goals down and less than 1% actually review, update and rewrite their goals. The very act of writing down a goal is so powerful. Thinking about a goal isn’t enough; it must be written. Most people don't set goals because they are afraid they might fail. Goal setting gives you a target to aim towards and develops self-discipline. Let me share with you five keys that will help you do that. Each of these keys starts with one of the letters in the word "SCORE". You will come across obstacles in the pursuit of your goal. These are bigger opportunities to grow.

Doing and the New Economy
A crisp, well-defined goal helps us focus our doing. With a specific goal in sight, we can leverage all of our actions into a coordinated effort. Each step of doing becomes a building block for reaching our ultimate goal. We're more efficient, we get more done and we're more successful.
