GOALS ON COMPUTER

HIGH ACHIEVERS GO EVEN HIGHER WITH COMPUTER-AIDED-GOAL-SETTING

Canberra, Australia, December 13, 1993.

A recently released personal computer product can help serious 
goal-setters manage their goals more easily and more fully, 
and make it fun at the same time!

Goldmine Goal Setter, from Goldmine Systems, is a PC-based 
Windows product available through the shareware software 
industry.

As we well know, having personal goals is an essential element 
of taking control of our lives, and maximising our sense of 
fulfilment and achievement. Simply having goals helps us to 
achieve more.

Goldmine Goal Setter lets you model all your goals, in whatever 
categories you like, (such as financial, relationship with 
spouse, holidays and so on), in whatever time categories you 
like, (such as annual, age 35, age 65 and so on).

In addition, all the goals can be interlinked to each other, 
such that one goal might be very supportive of achieving several
other goals, or one particular goal might depend heavily on the 
achievement of several other goals.

Having built the links, the system will pinpoint for you at the 
touch of a button which goal is the one most helpful to 
achieving the most other goals! This can help to clarify where 
a busy person's priorities should lie.

For example, suppose you have a goal of:
- Do at least one hour of gardening every Saturday.
Now, this is a goal which is easy to keep putting off, because 
it is only a minor goal, and it always seems that there are more
important things to do anyway. However, when you push the button
on Goldmine Goal Setter to find out which goals are the best at 
assisting the achievement of other goals, you might find that 
the gardening goal assists a surprising number of other goals, 
such as:
- Increase the saleable value of my home, (which assists net 
  worth goals);
- Increase the amount of time my spouse and I spend talking 
  together and doing things together, (which assists 
  relationship goals);
- Build up my social network, (by being out in the garden and 
  perhaps getting to know the neighbours better);
- Increase my level of fitness and health, (which assists a 
  health goal of being well and fit at age 65).

So, the product provides an instantaneous 'big picture' of 
what's going on with your goals.

In addition to recording information about goals and how they 
impact each other, the product can also record:
- Benefits of achieving goals;
- Experience you have relevant to achieving goals;
- Obstacles which could prevent you from achieving goals;
- Resources you have which can help with goal achievement;
- Rewards you will give yourself for achieving goals;
- Strengths you possess which are helpful for achieving goals;
- Weaknesses you have which can impede your progress.

Each of these 'Goal Influencers' as they are called, can be 
linked to any or all of your goals. Again, at the touch of a 
button, you can find out things like:
- Which resources you possess are the ones most needed by 
  your goals;
- What benefits are most often going to accrue from achieving 
  your goals;
- Which obstacles are the most frequently encountered, and 
  therefore deserve the most attention at their elimination;
- Which of your weaknesses causes the most trouble, and 
  therefore most needs your attention;
- Which of your strengths is of most use to achieving the 
  most goals, and therefore needs cultivation.

Goldmine Goal Setter is a masterful mechanism for keeping 
goals organised and consistent.

As a Shareware computer product, it is a very small financial 
investment, and almost certainly will generate a hefty return 
on that investment.

Shareware computer products are ones where you can try the 
product on your own computer before you commit to them. If, 
at the end of the free trial period, you decide you like the 
product and would like to keep using it, then you are required 
to make a small financial investment to continue your right to 
use the product. This is called 'Registering' the product.

In the case of Goldmine Goal Setter, the investment is very 
modest. It varies according to your income level as follows:
- $10 for low income earners,
- $30 for middle income earners,
- $50 for high income earners.
The free trial period is for thirty days after installation.

May all of your goals be good goals, and may they all be 
achieved!
