This week is all about YOU.

I want you to take 20 seconds and share your most important goal with our community in the comments at the end of this post. Plus we have a cool new comment systems we're testing that we hope will help more people jump into the discussion and connect with each other. Please try it out! Hopefully, you've already had time to complete our 100% free Goal Setting & Action Workbook. But either way, I know you have at least one goal you could list. Live Your Legend is not a resource to read about ideas.  Live Your Legend is a community whose sole purpose is to inspire you to take action to do the work that most matters to you and to the world. And then to provide you the tools to make it possible. If you don't take action on those ideas and tools, then everything we do here is for nothing. So today is about accountability. Studies in psychology and persuasion constantly prove the same thing: The more we talk about things and the more we commit to others, the more likely it is that we'll make them reality.

Inspire us with your story LYL Reader Spotlight

“We don't accomplish anything in this world alone ... and whatever happens is the result of the whole tapestry of one's life and all the weavings of individual threads from one to another that creates something.”

Letting Our Community Inspire

In honor of Live Your Legend's first full year on earth (as of tonight at midnight), and my eigth year helping people do work they love, it's time to step it up a notch. And the only way we can do it is with you. Last week I asked you how we could take this community to a new level. How we could bring us all together to inspire, help and support each other to Live Our Legends. Your responses nearly put me to tears - both in your praise and your ideas. The most invigorating ideas included:

how to meet world changing people

"Environment is everything. Surround yourself with passionate people doing the things you dream of, and magic starts to happen. There is no more powerful practice."

It's time for another edition of "Ask the Reader" and I want to add something special to make it exciting. I am going to pick a few of your responses to be featured as case studies in the How to Connect With Anyone course I'm creating, as well as examples for the talk I'm giving at the World Domination Summit in Portland in two weeks on the same topic (if you plan to be at the talk, please let me know in the comments so we can connect!). This talk (and course) is going to be a blast and I'd love for some of you to be a part of it! All you have to do is answer one of these three questions. Just leave your response in the comments at the end of the post. (email readers click here to chime in). Remember it's your participation that makes LYL what it is.

1. What is your biggest challenge or fear keeping you from having a world-class network of passionate and inspiring peers, mentors and supporters?

or, if you already have a network you're proud of:

2. What is your best tactic or strategy for meeting new exciting people?

or

3. What is one success story of you meeting someone you'd always wanted to meet, and how did you do it?

**Note: Feel free to stop reading right now and go directly to the comments section below to answer one of the above. I can't wait to feature some of your responses! If you’re not usually one to comment, I urge you, if you only comment on one post, this is the one. Even if it’s only a sentence or two, and feel free to leave it under a fake name if you must. It will dramatically help all of us.

"Goals in writting are dreams with deadlines." ~Brian Tracy

*Note: Below is my full list of goals for 2012, which I created using the free Goal-Setting and Action Workbook. If you haven't downloaded your copy, do it now and let's get cranking, because it's time to share your biggest goal of 2012 with our community! *****

There's no getting around it, accountability creates results.

For some reason we tend to have a difficult time keeping promises to ourselves. But most people absolutely hate breaking commitments with others. That's exactly why further down this post I've shared every goal of mine for 2012. Showing you all everything scares me a bit, but I know that the more people I commit to (10,435 of you as of today), the more on the hook I am and the more likely these things are to actually become reality. I've found no more powerful way to produce results. So now's it's your turn. In this edition of Ask The Reader, I want to hear what matters to you most this year. This is your chance to speak up and add direct value to what we’re building at Live Your Legend, and get specific help on your biggest goals, both from me and the community.

2. If you're already doing work you love, what was the one event or realization that made it possible?
