Brett Kunsch Many of us run into obstacles when we set goals and there are a few reasons: We overestimate our ability to achieve them within a certain timeframe. We aren’t clear on the details. We don’t have any form of gauging benchmarks accurately. And we might just be a wee bit overconfident in what can actually be achieved. Have any of you had success using the SMART criteria or any other framework in achieving your goals? http://bit.ly/fkMKdD

I have used SMART goals in a number of organizations with much success. It is a great tool for writing goals. However, that's only the first step. You then need the time management/project management skills and discipline to achieve them. SMART goals is the best way to start the journey.

Dain Has anyone else released an ebook? I'm wondering what your conversion rates were and number of downloads. I released an ebook two weeks ago and have received about 110 downloads. What has been your experience? I'd appreciate your feedback. Here's the link: http://bit.ly/hOfYfs

I've released a number of ebooks, all of them commercial. None are free, although I give away the free intro chapter for some. So, our situations aren't exactly parallel.

Any that have 25 fans can be customized according to what's available. (These long gobbledegook URLs really are a pain, and they often get broken in e-mails.) I should be able to customize mine today.
