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!
My goal is to set up my online business by 01 October 2013. Pardon the slip in the last one
My goal is to have my on-line business fully set up by 14 October 2013.
I have a goal to be clear on my “niche” by 30 September, 2013.
My short term goal is to make $1,000 by Dec. 31, 2013.
My mid-range goal is to make $5,000 by June 5, 2013; my 78th birthday.
My long range goal is to make $10,000 in the year 2013.
I made a typo in previous comment. The year for mid-range and long-range goals should be 2014
My goal is to fully develop a product idea by November 15, 1013.
My goal is to be a successful internet marketer by the end of this month of oct 2013.
My goal is go through this program first, after that my money goal is to scale! I will have eight steps for every product. I’ll start off making the product myself…it’ll take three to five days to complete one. It will bring in a minimum five dollars per day…$150. dollars per month. By the end of the year I will outsource all the steps, except product selection and keyword research. In six months after that I will scale the 150 to 10,000 per month by using the money I make along the way to outsource. That’s my goal.
My goal is to find a niche I will be happy with and then a website as I’m still not sure where i’m going but i have to get there because I have a mortgage to pay off and hubby can’t do everything, I do e-bay but I don’t think that is enough I need to find a good income as everybody is doing, so my goal is to find a niche at the moment !!!….
Goal: Achieve $2000.00 of Int. Mktg Revenue by 31 Dec. 2013
The story about the Harvard MBAs has many iterations, all of which are myths.
The original claimed that Yale graduates were interviewed years after graduation and the data indicated a 5x differential in income of goal writers vs. non-writers. (Sometimes the factor was your “Harvard version” 10x.)
Research, including calls and interviews with Yale administrators and literature searches for the specifics, resulted in no record of such a poll having been taken, or any other evidence for such a large impact for goal writing. Not to say it’s not a great idea. It’s simply important to tell the truth. Many people write goals and don’t act on them or see them to fruition, as will many, if not most of the people who responded with comments to your post. Write whatever you want, baby; it’s all about action!
i am going to finish cashflow quadrant by the library due date of 11/23/13

Hello!
First of all thank you so much for these lessons. I was also on information overload. I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom with 4 littles. To help make up for much needed income after no longer working at home for my previous employer, we have been selling on ebay for a couple of years and last year opened an etsy shop but feel the Lord may be leading us a different or additional direction.
Our goals are:
-Pray about every step and step as the Lord leads
-To continue and improve upon ebay and etsy until it is/if it is no longer needed.
-Complete these lessons in Eric’s Tips completely by March 15 2014.
-Set up blog about our life passions (linking ebay and etsy stores first) and start blogging.
-Continue research on niche, affiliate marketing learning and growing.
-Take the steps provided in these lessons to put in action the beginnings of online marketing business.
-Continue and complete the web design and web classes we have started taking.
-Short term goal to replace husbands monthly income.
-Long term goal to work together with my husband in doubling the income we are at right now.
-Long term purchase small house for our family and an RV or knowing us RV as a house so we can travel 🙂
I did have one question regarding these lessons vs the no money income stream? Are they similar or not at all?
Thank you again! Looking forward to the lessons.
