Today is the day that the web’s first Social Self Help Network is officially opening its doors and rolling out the welcome mat, and we couldn’t be more excited! We hope you’ll join us by becoming acquainted with My3Goals and start benefitting from its wonderful features. We’ve just started our private beta trial period, so take this opportunity to be a part of the initial community. Since it’s a private beta, you’ll need the following information:
My3Goals is a place where you can access a community of friends and experts who are ready and willing to help you with any questions you have, or problems you may be struggling with, and a place where you can share your own life lessons with others. My3Goals combines aspects of other social networks with self-help, so you can build a true community of friends that are always there to offer support. In fact, My3Goals is integrated with Twitter, which means that from the get-go you’ll have a built-in network of friends to turn to and share with, and you can easily build that community by adding friends on the My3Goals site. In the future, we’ll be integrated with Facebook as well!
If you have an issue that you think would be better answered by someone outside of your circle, never fear; My3Goals gives you access to experts in life coaching who are waiting for your questions and can offer impartial, professional advice. Whether your questions are focused specifically on one problem, or more generally in one our Life Categories (Mind, Body, Spirituality, Relationships, Career, and Money), you can easily find the help you need to tackle whatever issues you face.
The site is easy to navigate and easy to personalize. Users can create their own profile where they share information about themselves with others, and each user has access to the three main tools that can get you started: Goals, Challenges, and Answers. You can set your own Goals, or join others’, whether long or short term, which will keep you motivated and working towards a positive achievement. You can also take on weekly Challenges, which are fun and inspirational dares that are aimed to improve your quality of life. Joining Goals and Challenges with friends is an excellent way to stay motivated and offer each other support. In the Answers section, you can ask a question that has been on your mind, and offer up your own wisdom in response to others’ questions. It’s a true community, and you will immediately feel like you are part of it.
So poke around, try out the different features, and take the initiative to start working towards your best self! Good luck, and see you there!
There’s always a bigger game at play. I love sports – this is one of my favorite stories.
One of the true tests of a great leader is not what happens when you’re there, but what happens when you’re not there. What a great moment for the coaches, teachers, and parents of these young women.
A coach is there to help us live the life we really want.
A traditional sports coach is there to help an athlete fine tune their game to perfection. In the same way, a life coach helps fine tune a person’s approach to life.
In the high stakes world of professional sports, virtually every top competitor works with a coach. Even Tiger Woods, the most dominant golfer of this generation, still works with a coach. Of course Tiger knows how to play the game, probably better than anyone on the planet. In a match versus his coach, Tiger would win nearly every time. So what benefit does he get from a coach? Tiger’s coach is there to pick up on things that Tiger himself can’t see. The coach is there to bounce ideas off of. He’s there to challenge Tiger, perhaps to push him further than he would push himself naturally.
All the same traits are true of a life coach. Of course we all know how to live. We’ve made it this far, right? How many of us can say that we are living perfect lives? Or that we are living to our full potential? A life coach is there to ask us questions that we might not think of ourselves, to challenge the patterns and approaches that we’ve established. A coach is there to listen to our dreams and cheer us on. A coach is there to shine a light on our way of doing things to say “Is that really what you want”
Sure, all the news seems bad. Really bad. Financial markets roiling, war simmers and flares, politicians point fingers, natural disasters threaten to snuff us out. If you watch the news channels long enough you could convince yourself that the end of days is near.
The overall truth is something different. The human spirit continues to triumph. Across the world, less people are living in poverty than they were 30 years ago. More kids and adults can read. Prejudices against those that are somehow different are fading. Violent crime is down significantly. Automobile fatalities have dropped. The environment is cleaner. We are living longer, healthier lives. Divorce rates are dropping. In fact, nearly every aspect of our lives is steadily improving with each generation.
Life is better, but people want more from it.
It’s within this confused environment that we’re launching our new business, My3Goals. Overall, the mission is to give people the skills, resources, and connections to live the life they really want to. It’s part social network, part interactive learning center. It will also be a way for life coaches and experts of various kinds to connect with people that are searching for something better in their lives.
We’re gathering everyone we know who is ready for a positive change to help create this new community.
