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:
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.
- 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.
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.
The key to a happier life is contained in the dreams you already have. Your aspirations can create new opportunities, a fresh direction for your life's path. It is possible to unlock them. It's never too late. You have started today by looking at this book.
With his accessible, unique approach using tangible daily steps to reach achievable goals, Jason Harvey can help you succeed by taking small steps to a better you.
Comprehensive and inspiring, Achieve Anything In Just One Year will teach you how to:
- Set goals and stick with them
- Take daily action that creates a ripple effect
- Stay motivated, focused and balanced that
- Feel happier everyday!!!
- Define, pursue and celebrate personal success

My Take on The Book
This book is set up as a book that you will read and work through over a year-long period with a notebook and pen close at hand. That means that each day of the year you will read and do the activity listed on the page. The page itself not only has an inspirational quote but also a brief discussion of the day's topic and an assignment that must be completed.
I did not read through all 365 pages of this book, but I did focus on the first month of the year. What I saw in this forst month was is that would definitely allow me to learn and grow over a year-long period.
I liked the fact that the book was straight forward and did not require a long period of focus. Instead, the book allowed the reader to know exactly what they needed to do. I have read a number of self-help books both personally and professionally and one thing that I liked about this book was that it did not read like a self-help book. You instead feel like you are being encouraged daily.

I would like to win this because I am the worst procrastinator. I will put off anything I can, for as long as I can. I would like to get out of this way of thinking.

I would love to have this book because my husband and I are racking our brains trying to figure out a way to make it financially possible for me to stay at home! This might help us figure out how to make it happen!

Like so many, I always have good intentions to make important, positive changes in my life. It seems that life gets in the way; this book is intriguing to me because it seems to understand and enforce the concept of baby steps and give lots of encouragement!
The winners of the book are: Wendy & Mari!
Thank you all for entering and I hope that to see you all around the divadom again very soon!
