In the previous lesson, we talked about getting a vision for your business.
A vision is the big picture of where you want to go. You need to have a vision, otherwise you won’t be motivated, and you won’t have a clear direction for your business.
However, a vision needs goals and plans to go along with it…
(Watch this video…)
Main points:
1) they should be specific (measurable)
2) they should be serious, but attainable
3) they should have a deadline
Action steps:
1) Write down one goal, and put it somewhere near your computer.
(Also please post it in the comments below)
It should be specific, attainable, and it should have a deadline.
Keep in mind that you will need to keep setting new goals for yourself as you build your business. As you continue with these lessons, it will become more apparent what your goals should be, so write them down frequently as you go through the process.
Now you will need to develop a plan for reaching your goals, and I’ll be talking about that in the next lesson.
As always, you are welcome to post your questions and comments below.
Have a great day!
Hi Eric,

Hello Iain,
It’s always good to keep the vision in front you. You might want to try using post-it-notes or something similar. You could put reminders on your bathroom mirror, steering wheel, refrigerator door, or other frequently seen item.
It’s also good to cut out all of the distractions. It’s amazing how much freer you are to achieve success, when you determine the obstacles to your goals and remove them.

Why not set a goal to learn several things about spreadsheets, before a certain date!
