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!

Today is November 29, 2011. I am setting a goal to have my website up and running by the week-end. I will continue to watch my training videos, one at a time, performing the action steps in order. I will not use any other training modules at this time (because the confusion is paralyzing me) and I will commit myself to small steps every day. I am planning to generate enough income (at least $500.00) to cover my costs thus far by the end of December, 2011.
I really think Eric’s classes are the best thing that happened to me for a very long time. Thank you Eric. Pat Little

Hi Eric,
I am following and plan to earn $2,000 end of February 2012.
My initial goal is to have an internet business generating a solid and recurring income of at least $1000 a month profit by March, 2012. That will also allow me to spend less time running my ebay store and focusing more on internet marketing. I should then be able to pay off my car loan by June, 2012 and have at least $5000 in the bank.
Hi Eric Just have one minor goal which is to get organized. I am A.D.D. and find it so hard to stay with one thing. So I went to my neighbor who has a very clean home, she is organized. Her kids are well mannered. And she is a J.W. I asked how do you do it, and she told me that she lives by a schedule. She says she couldn’t do it unless she followed it.
For example her week always starts where she gets up one hour before the kids. She showers makes her bed and gets breakfast ready.
The kids make their beds and get dressed before meal. Then they are off to school she cleans up the dishes.
Monday is her house cleaning day.
Tuesday is her laundry day.
Wednesday is a day she bake pies, cookies, enough homemade bread for a week for the family.
The kids have their chores and deliver newspapers. Thursday is a day for something else.
Friday she shops etc.
So she is very disciplined. They both work. They don’t let their wants exceed their needs. She also uses coupons or flyers to plan the meals for the week. As they always have dinner together as a family.
They take there kids out once a week to bowling swimming or recreation. And they occasionally entertain,even on their small income.
Mondays is always been their family night together to discuss important family issues that need addressing. and a night to play board games and card games. “It’s easier to work around unforeseen circumstances when you already have a system in place.” She said.
So my goal is write a schedule down on what day I will do what, and try to stick to it.She also mentioned that it can take sometimes three weeks to get into a good routine, which requires self discipline.
She advised me not to expect perfection from myself, because no one is perfect and we all make mistakes. She knows my attention is terrible.
She helped me quit smoking.I quit in three weeks and have never looked back. Sometimes in goal setting it helps to have someone backing you up even when you feel like a failure. When you write things down, your more prone to stick to it.
So That is what I will be doing as a short goal.Because if we get little things done, we won’t get discouraged and quit. One vital step can sometimes start off very small. Who wants to give up before you start.
So I am going to buy myself a calendar and put on it days I do laundry days I shop and if I can’t always follow it I won’t give up, I will try again. That way I can schedule other dates around the important ones. dates like doctor appointments. Instead of allowing other appointments interfere with my life. that way I can have more time to learn about internet marketing. I need time set aside to do that. But first I have to get my own life-style organized.

hi eric. I am new to internet marketing, My original goal was to build a membership website for post secondary college students to opt in as online tutors for a small fee *$20 per year. i would teach them how to create a personal profile on their subject of expertise and then educate them on how to earn a living as an online tutor. my goal was to utilize the membership funds and then market the website to foreign high school students in another country aka china looking for tutors in english, math, science, biology, medicine engineering, business or any subject they wish. once the students register on my website. I will act as a broker and forward the potential clients to tutors in North America. I was wondering if there would be angel investors interested in this concept and if there would be experts to show me on how to get stsrted.
My first goal is to launch a website that promotes an affiliate product by April 30, 2012.
My goal is finish the lessons and set up the online commission based business and make my first $100 by 31/07/12.
