TurboCharge Your Goals in 2009
Lots of people I know make elaborate To-Do lists as a way to get things done. These lists help to organize and prioritize the things they want to accomplish.
List making is actually an excellent tool to use -- if you are okay with average results.
But it's just not enough, if you want a really robust and rich life, you can't make it happen with a To-Do list as your main strategy. I'm not knocking the To-Do list. In fact, I use one every day! Typically the To-Do list is an ongoing list of tasks we need to take care of, such as checking out an online newsletter vendor to picking up movies at Blockbuster for your kids.
These tasks range from the necessary to the mundane AND usually are missing a critical piece. Your Big Picture Goals and Dreams!
What do you want to be able say that you accomplished and experienced at the end of 2009?
-Is it creating your own information product? Your own book?
-Is it having a top notch website and blog?
-Is it having a perfect team to support you?
-Personal goals? Master a second language?
-Heal a relationship?
-Create deeper bonds and community?
-Give back? Make a difference?
-Expressing your creativity?
Write these important (sometimes neglected dreams) down on paper.
The absolute fastest way to these Big Ticket Dreams and Goals of yours, is to declare them first to yourself, by writing them down on paper in vivid detail.
It's a great idea that you designate a special notebook to capture your creative ideas, thoughts and scripts of what you want to accomplish and experience in the upcoming year.
Writing it down on paper activates the potential for it to happen. Once you've gotten it out of your head and onto paper, all of a sudden it becomes more realistic.
You've literally created a blueprint for your success! From your blueprint, you can break down your goal into a logical sequence of steps to be taken. Guess what, your To-Do list, is the perfect place to add these "bite" size tasks that lead you to the big time goal! The secret here, is to make sure you take time to take yourself and your important goals seriously. Write them down, create the plan and take the actions you need to take to make it happen. The sky's the limit!

Life of claims!
- Hello,
Although we all know that the life of any patent at the uspto is 20 years, I have another concern about as to weather a patent can be renewed by just appending a few unique claims just before it expires.
For example, say I was granted a patent in 1990 and in 2009 I decide to further protect some of those claims so no one can use them for another 20 years. Therefore am I allowed to create a new product very similar to the original one patented in the 1990 and append a couple of new and original claims to it and re-patent it in 2009 thus allowing a better version of the original product to be patented for another 20 years.
If the 2009 patent gets granted, would the original claims included in the 1990 patent be valid and protected for another 20 years?
Thankyou all for your feedback!
With regards
Rob
