Goals are funny things; the power of setting goals, writing them down, and declaring them to the world is rather amazing. PickLogic highly encourages its members to write down their own goals as 2010 begins. Look at them regularly, and you'll be amazed at how they can affect your reality.

Take PickLogic, for example. At the beginning of 2009, we distinctly set a goal of a +30% year. It wasn't conservative or agressive; we felt it was something we should be able to hit given our past performance, but it would require our normal due diligence, discipline and focus.

So what happens? Come last December (the 22nd, to be exact), we're cruising right along, well above our 30% goal, right around +34% for the year. And then we have three losses in a row to finish the year...and the 4% loss gives us a 30.04% increase for 2009.

If you had a $10,000 account, your profit was $3,004 for the year: that's about as close as you can get to 30% on the year.

So this year, we're going to put a new goal out there: PickLogic accounts will gain 35% in 2010. This isn't a prediction, it's our goal. We expect to hit it, we'll post it around our offices, and our intention will make it a reality.

(We'll also set a goal of trying to make more blog posts this year!)

Once again, thanks for being a PickLogic member; here's to a great 2010 for us all!
