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 generate 50,000 dollar net worth before June 25 2010.
Hello Eric,
I can not beleive I am writting to you again, the lesson was great, the messege very clear, I have been exsposed to goal-setting most all my life and been told to write them down, I’m going to hate to say this but I thought I could just keep them in my head. Well they must have stayed there because they never came to pass, that is going to change right NOW thanks to this lesson and last. Seeing the difference of goal-setting and VISION opened my eyes. THANK YOU In yesterdays note on vision, I stated my goals with my vision, as I had always assocated the two together. I mentioned my url yesterday http://www.archiesuniquesales.com but I don”t know if I’m going to go with that in this series of lessons or if I will start one with Clickbank depending how your lessons go. I can’t hardly wait to complete them, never the less my goal at this time is to complete the lessons, do the action you suggest or tell us to do and earn that &50.000 four (4) months after the end of these lessons or before. I have planned, dreamed, and failed before, this time it is going to happen, good work on your part so far and I will pray to our God for your continued success and a joyfull safe trip you have plan. Thank You again
Archie
