Significantly increase your income for the next 12 months and add rocket fuel to your New Year Resolution.

Add an emotional buzz to your financial goals for an extra happy new year.

1st: Pick a scenario for 2012 that lights you up:

• Imagine you're free and clear by the end of the year.
• Picture you are paying cash for new car.
• You are on a trip to the Greek Islands with your family.
• Visualize a Homes of Hope experience with your kids as you help a family break the cycle of poverty.

2nd: Define a five, six or seven figure goal for 2012 and wrap it in a scenario above (or one of your own) that is infused with what is called "the emotional buzz." Only setting a certain financial amount is good, but not BIG GOAL good.

3rd: Imagine your five senses with this BIG GOAL. See who's with you. Feel their embrace and high-fives. Hear the sounds of nature or others people's comments associated with this experience. Smell the aromas of the new car or the ocean. Taste the champagne.

Make your resolution an experience that you come back to over and over again in your powerful imagination.

A vision for your future which creates a physical reaction from a mere thought qualifies as an emotional buzz. Adding your five senses accelerates the emotional buzz and your BIG GOAL.

When you have a tingle up and down your spine or the pit of your stomach gets that excited feeling - THEN you have a New Years Resolution that has staying power.

From our family to yours, may 2012 be THE YEAR where you reach your BIG GOALS in short order.
