I am working harder than I ever have before in order to take care of my family. I am reaching out to many people, offering my help and assistance in getting them started on the way to financial freedom. Nothing will stop me in my quest and I am finally enjoying myself because I have purpose and a positive goal to work toward. The time spent on The Plan is possibly some of the best time I have ever spent on my own, looking at my life and deciding to change!"

Joe Abraham, President - Bamboo Biz


"I wanted to thank you for your fabulous products particularly the personal strategic planning documents. Personal leadership is something we don't talk or do enough of, and I am personally grateful that I stumbled upon your concepts and ideas. I, too, echo many of your strategic planning comments and will begin following that direction again. Thank you for putting down on paper how to create a better life!"

Jenny Rasmussen


"I have always considered myself ambitious, motivated and goal oriented. Your program impacted me with a compelling desire to close issues, confront my demons and strive to overachieve. I have taken control and am moving, NORTH! Thanks for your courage to share!

Joy Dettorre, Lotus Development Corporation


"I wanted to thank you for the excellent program you presented. By the end of the first tape, I was so aggravated with you that I seriously thought about asking for a refund. This is not a criticism; it was an example of how much your teaching was affecting me. I was uncomfortable having to face the lack of purpose and direction in my life; that my professional employment has been based not on a plan, but on simply wherever I could find work. My potential is great, but without directing my energies, it is wasting away. Thanks for not pulling punches as I really needed the wake up call!"

John Crowe, Ford Motor Company


"Gary, if you ever need a testimonial or poster child, I am your gal! What you have shared over the last few years and taught me has been invaluable. It has strengthened every relationship I have. You have helped me to clearly identify a mission and purpose that is compelling and which excites me to no end. Thank you, thank you, thank you so very much for all you have done!"

Lynne A. Harter, IBM Corporation


"Thank you for presenting such an exciting program of life changing ideas and practical applications. I am feeling absolutely buoyant and determined to get started on my personal and professional goals immediately. This weekend I wrote my mission statement, legacy statement, and committed my goals and plans to paper. It was a hard but very worthwhile investment of my time."

Carolyn Sirmalis, Contract Management Specialist - Xerox


I have just finished listening to your audio program "The Anatomy of a Goal and all I can say is WOW! Thank you for sharing this helpful information with those of us who want it -- it's powerful stuff!

Julie Franklin


"You are a very dynamic speaker. I was amazed at how you interacted with the class and communicated your ideas so clearly. You made every aspect of your material interesting and meaningful to everyone. Attending your goal setting and life planning seminar was truly a life changing experience for me in that I now understand exactly what it means to create the life of your dreams. Thanks for providing the direction and straight forward advice - you are the best!"

Charles P. Hubert


"I want to thank you so much for teaching a fantastic class. I enjoyed it immensely and have raved about it and you to my friends and family and often find myself saying "well, The GoalsGuy says, Everything Counts, and that everything is either taking us toward our goals or away from them. I am consciously making everything in my life count!

Margrit Conroy


I got it, I finally got the job I always wanted, and can't thank you enough for all of your planning insights. None of this would have been possible without your help and your program and to be honest with you, I am blown away by it all. You were absolutely right when you said; Life will not go according to plan if you do not have a plan. I am so glad that I followed your advice and plan. Each step moved me one step closer to my goal, just as you stated, thank you!"

Joanie Lintz


"Gary, I attended your program over six months ago and have been astonished by the results. You made a comment that really inspired me to action when you said that the main reason why people are unhappy, unfulfilled and overweight was simply because they never DECIDED that they were going to be happy, fulfilled and healthy.

Well, I DECIDED and now I am a believer. At the end of 90 days I had lost 35 lbs, and another 18 more lbs. three month later. I have remained a lean; mean 175 lbs. for over two weeks now. Also, I have consciously decided to look on the bright side of life and have experienced more joy and personal satisfaction in all areas of my life. Thank you for the inspiration and for teaching me how to plan for the attainment of a goal. I can't say thank you enough for all your help and motivation!"

Lee Jensen, IBM


"Gary Ryan Blair is without a doubt a genius when it comes to goal setting and life planning. If someone were to ask me, "How does one figure out what they want out of life?" I would reply 'Ask Gary Ryan Blair, he is simply the best!'

J. Stephen Lanning, Executive Director - National Association of Business Coaches


"Gary, I can't thank you enough for your assistance in helping me construct my own personal strategic plan. Your ability to explain in simple but extremely insightful terms the steps in this process was far beyond anything I had expected. You were absolutely correct when saying that the only way to really "Know Thyself" is to ask some extremely pointed questions, answer them with complete honesty, even perhaps if I did not like the answers and then hold myself accountable to the execution of the plan. Thanks a million!

Devin Marks, Project Manager - WorldCom


"Gary, your help in putting together my own personal strategic plan in the midst of all of the general chaos of my business has been invaluable. Your insight, which I’ve now outlined in my personal strategy to push for a promotion, and raise, which should exceed $3,500, more than justifies the small investment I've made out of pocket for your services. Quite honestly, I could not have done it without your help. Thank You!

Sean Thompson, Mass Markets Project Manager - IBM Corporation


"Thank you for delivering just what we wanted, needed and asked for. Your presentation on what it takes to focus an organization and its entire people far exceeded our expectations. Your focus on the development of the entire person has allowed our people to become more effective at work, home, and in their communities as well."

Tom R. Zern, Human Resources Director - Lockheed Martin


"The content was excellent, the delivery was right on the money and the impact of Gary’s program will prove to be long lasting. The GoalsGuy offers a collection of materials that all deliver the results you are looking for!"

Ruth Purris, Officer - American Red Cross


"Gary started the program by saying his goal was to help us all achieve our own individual and team goals. At first, I was a doubter, but after spending a day with The GoalsGuy and the solid blasts of wisdom on the importance of goals, focus and planning, I left the day not only a believer but also a convert!"

Mark Mangold, Public Affairs Director - US Census Bureau


"Gary’s level of energy and conviction of this subject makes for an extremely engaging program. We all left with a solid blueprint of how to take our business to the next level."

Scott Tanner, Vice President - SunStar Financial

Bob Cloud, President - Team Worldwide Express


"Gary – your presentation can be summarized in one word: EXCELLENT!"

Robert A. Griffith, General Manager - Boeing


"Our people are still buzzing about your powerful presentation which ran an entire spectrum of emotions; hard hitting, intense, take-no-prisoners, spellbinding and riveting. More important to me, however, was the quality of the information you presented in a very colorful and imaginative way!"

Howard Lewis, CEO - Southwestern Life


"I am inspired, committed, and determined to achieve the goals I have set. I am so thankful for your planning ideas and strategies. They have unlocked the door of my excuses and pointed me toward opportunity. The information was so extraordinary that I felt compelled to take action immediately. Thanks again for the wonderful learning experience."

Danielle Walker, Team Leader - Federal Express


"You are a dynamic teacher with a very important message; I only wish I heard it 10 years ago."

Tom Jarosk, General Manager - Microsoft

Margaret Howell, Marketing Manager - American Express


"Thank you very much for coming to speak with us on "The State of Our Business!" You’re enthusiasm was fantastic as was your ability to shape your message to suit the dynamics of Pfizer. Your use of real life stories and examples added to the fun and learning. In fact, many of our feedback forms said that you did an OUTSTANDING JOB!"

Debbie Conocenti, Director - Pfizer


"Your appearance at our Annual Conference was a huge success! We have received numerous phone calls and congratulatory notes from many of our clients along with a special hand written note from the Mayor.

It was clear from the start that this was not going to be your ordinary guest speaker routine. Your stage presence, grasp of the audience and the commitments you both shared and gained from the audience worked beautifully throughout the program. Thank you so much for making this program a success!"

Desales Wagster, President - Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau


"Your knowledge, expertise and conviction, plus your unique style of delivery was well received by everyone. Your extra attention to the small details created a superb learning experience for all in attendance. I thought you might enjoy reading some of the comments I received:

"Best course I have ever taken at AT&T"

"If you do anything, bring this guy back!"

"Thanks to Gary, I am committed to raising the bar on my performance!"

Gary, thank you for a first class job. You are a true professional and anyone would do well by using your services."

Jim P. Halligan, Vice President - AT&T


"On behalf of our entire staff and all of our franchises, I would like to thank you for the great job you did at our convention in New Orleans. Your presentation was like none we have ever had in all of our years in business, and as a matter of fact, it was the hit of the entire week.

It was evident that you did your homework and set an example of excellence for all of us to follow. I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done!"

Carl Hansson, President & CEO - The Sports Section


"Thank you never seems to say enough to you for the excellent seminar that you offered our participants. The initial feedback we received is so strong that I want to confirm your involvement for next year’s convention as well. Many people left the conference refreshed, renewed and in the words of many – reborn!"

David Hellal, President - Intelligent Travel

"Gary, thanks so much for your enthusiastic participation in today's training call. This has been one of our most successful calls as evidenced by the interaction and participation of our listeners. You shared practical advice and suggestions that we can all benefit from.

On behalf of all of us at IBM, we appreciate all of your support on behalf of this education effort. You certainly live your advice and philosophy."

\ Phyllis Shalvey, Program Manager - IBM

It's actually one of the most important personal success tools to come along in the last 50 years. If you do the recommended homework on yourself in each section, you will have made an investment in yourself that will never stop returning dividends to you and your loved ones for the rest of your years. I guarantee it!"
