Publisher's Summary

A new approach to goal achievement

People hate setting goals because most ultimately fail. But the problem is not the person. It's the process. When goal achievement is done correctly, the odds of being successful jump dramatically, meaning you can have success as well.

In this small but powerful book, Dr. Francis discusses a simple model-driven process to identify, analyze, choose, and achieve your goals. This is not a cookie-cutter fill-in-the-blank approach to goal setting. Instead, you learn self-analysis, establishing priorities, goal selection, and how to methodically achieve success again and again!

Dr. Francis has a PhD in organization and management and over 25 years in education. His passion is taking complex concepts and reducing them to easy-to-learn principles. He is currently the director of instructional effectiveness for an educational institution with over 150,000 students. Corporate clients have included Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, government organizations, and educational institutions.

Levels of the pyramid model

People love Peter's informal, down-to-earth writing style and his focus on teaching fundamental concepts in ways that are easy to implement. This book will change your perception of who you are, open your eyes to new possibilities, and give you all the tools you need to reach your full potential.

If you are serious about significantly improving the odds of success in achieving your goals, scroll up, hit the buy button, and get the process started.
