I highly recommend this book. Your Goal Guide includes an appendix of worksheets and a step-by-step process to discover your ultimate goal, your GoalTopia. I find this entire procedure of great value in nailing down a goal plan that encompasses my best achievable objectives, then assisting my journey with a roadmap to that destination. Debra’s guided process is inspiring and motivating!” —Deborah Lyn Stanley, writer and blogger at My Writer’s Life Blog “One of things that is so helpful about Your Goal Guide is that it gives a detailed account for anyone who is trying to achieve their goals and gives a fresh perspective on how to get started. I know so many people who have a lot of trouble setting goals and affirmations, and this book will definitely guide them to a starting point to get to where they need to be. I, for one, will definitely use this as a blueprint for me and so should others.” —Jerod Williams, group exercise and fitness instructor “Your Goal Guide by Debra Eckerling is a must-read for anyone who has a goal and a desire to reach a destination.

For years she has been one of the best guides I know for hundreds of writers. Writing a book and finding a home for that book can often feel like an impenetrable thicket, but Debra's The D*E*B Method is simple and wise. And Your Goal Guide, like Debra herself, is lovely and inspiring.” —Amy Friedman, writing teacher and author, most recently of Desperado's Wife “It’s a big, wide world of wonderful things out there, and deciding what you want is always the hardest part. Most goal setting guides assume that you already have a clear picture of what you want to achieve, which renders them useless (and frustrating). Your Goal Guide helps you set your vision for the future first, before diving into the steps on how to reach it. With specific exercises to help you narrow down the overwhelm and home in on what you want, this book is like a trusted friend or caring coach who asks the tough questions that lead you to where you need to go, and then gives you the gentle push you need to get there.” —Jennifer Ballard, marketing manager, Social Media Examiner “I just finished reading Deb Eckerling’s Your Goal Guide, and it is making me wish she wrote this about 15 years ago when I really could have used it as I was struggling (intensely) to write my doctoral dissertation and my first book. Your Goal Guide is a dream come true for someone who needs some structure and context when looking to make big changes. Not only is it jam packed with life hacks that will expand your productivity and focus, it is laid out in a truly easy to follow manner, and written in a voice that is warm, and completely accessible. If you have ever struggled with achieving goals, or navigating big changes, this book is for you.” —Dr. Michael Lennox, author of Dream Sight,Llewellyn's Complete Dictionary of Dreams, and Llewellyn's Little Book of Dreams About the Author: Debra Eckerling works with individuals and businesses to set goals and manage their projects through one-on one coaching, workshops, and online support.
