Starting To Make A Difference….

As you know, the Goal Bands Game was developed, and first tested, during my 2 1/2 years spent volunteering in Guyana, S.A. and drew heavily from my own experience’s there.

But that is not the whole story and I must give further credit to my father, Leonard Mentzer, a Berkely and Columbia grad who ended up heading NYC Tort Division for close to 20 years and under 3 mayors. The secret to his success, more or less, was in breaking his larger life goals into “bite” sized portions and then working on them, methodically and deliberately, until he had met his ultimate objectives. This basic tenet, simplify and exemplify, is a key ingredient which I sought to capture with the Goal Bands Game.

 Also, I must credit my brothers’ mother inlaw with further inspiring my innovation. She is Judy Sheindlin or, as known more popularly to her many fans, TV’s Judge Judy . I have seen her enough to know that the average Judyism’s, if I can call it that, are nothing more than a good old fashioned admonition to seek self-truth and discipline for motivation to a better life and that is exactly what the Goal Bands Game bring’s to those whom use it.

The rush is on…Goal Bands Game flying off the shelves

With 18,000 + total entrants to the recently ended www.MamasHealth.com  ”Goal Bands Game Giveaway Contest” ( 5 winners announced tonight ) and both individual and institutional sales’ exploding, we are starting to get our name out faster than even our rosiest projections. Now, with the Lent sales beginning to pick up steam, we find ourselves racing to keep up with demand. No complaints here

“Health-Wellness-Safety” and so much more…

“For the first time in over 100 years the life expectancy of our children is going down, due largely to an increase in obesity rates and other lifestyle related illnesses” Put aside your remote, your ’mouse’, your “whatever is keeping you from better health”. 

                               This week, set ‘wellness’ goals for yourself and ask  your family and friends to participate with you. Make a daily walk ( 30 - 60 min.s ) the centerpiece of your daily goals and then add a few crunches, leg raises, or other fitness activities. Make the walk at your neighborhood, school, workplace, wherever, just do it. Also, while you’re at it, why not define some daily nutritional goals for your 1st Goal Bands Game ( ie cut out the junk food, drink more water, no snacking between meals, etc ) as well ? Use your Goal Bands Game wristbands to encourage success and remember your commitment to start your whole family on the path to better health and fitness.

Starting our 2010 Hospitals “Give-Away” program.

Black Belt Goals Inc. has decided to turn what has been the ‘de facto’ object of our charitable focus into an official company program.  With this new project we will seek out hospitals and other medical facilities that place extra emphasis on the welfare of children, like those that we have donated to in the past.

( Yale-New Haven Children’s Hospital, CT; St. Judes Children’s Research Hospital, TN; Vassar Brothers Hospital, NY; Northern Dutchess Hospital, NY; Kingston Hospital, NY; Blythedale Children’s Hospital, NY; Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, NY; UCSF Children’s Hospital, CA; etc. ).

The feedback we have been recieving from these care providers has been overwhelming in consensus and is that our Goal Bands Game program has provided real and substantial therapeutic help for these children. We would love nothing more than to be able to give to all such facilities and will make our best effort to do so, hoping to ramp up our level of committment as our business success continues to grow. Please, feel free to contact us with your suggestions for hospitals that you would like to see included in our program. And, let us invite you to take a look around your community and see where you might be able to lend a hand.  Thank you.

Note: we would like to help wherever we can in the community and have found our Goal Bands Game, perfect for as many different use’s as love, reminder and self empowerment can find. Thus, we invite donation requests from advocates/associations of all whom we can help ( ie Altzheimer, Diabetes, , etc. )

A Fun Way to Summer Health and Safety.
