Making Goals
November 26, 2009 11 CommentsEveryone has dreams.
Do you know what separates dreamers from achievers?
GOALS.
I’m a big fan of Brian Tracy and Tony Robbins. Both of the talk about the importance of making goals.
This is the first step to taking action.
And once you start taking action, your dreams become a reality.
Isn’t that what we want?
Let me share with you an experience I had back in May 2007…
I had just discovered affiliate marketing by accident while trying to promote a MLM business online. I was sick of my job and so I tried it out and was stunned when I made my first profits (it was about $1!).
I set myself a goal: I was going to build up my affiliate marketing business to the point where I could quit my job by my birthday in October! I wrote down my goal and planned out what I was going to do each day to achieve my goal.
Every day I would read aloud my goal and made sure I worked my plan. Come January I had quit my job! What a beautiful day that was.
Okay, I didn’t reach my goal by October but who cares? 
There’s a pattern here that you can follow in any area of your life:
1. Identify a goal you want to achieve and write it down. Be specific with what you want and how soon you want it. Don’t just say, I want to make a lot of money. Instead, say “I want to be earning $5,000 a month in 6 month’s time”.
2. Decide how you will achieve your goal. Are you going to do it with affiliate marketing, email marketing, selling PLR products, etc.
3. Determine what you need to have achieved on a yearly (if your goal is a long one), monthly, weekly and daily basis to achieve your goal. Write down specific actions you need to take daily to be able to make it happen.
4. Each day, read aloud your goal and work your action plan. Make amends as necessary.
If you follow the simple formula outlined above, there isn’t anything you cannot achieve. Making goals is making dreams come true.
Achieving goals is somewhat a hard thing to fulfill especially if you don’t really have an idea how very hard attaining goals. A post like this is very useful as a basic guide to help achieve goals.

I set goal to reach 5k daily visitor last year. But still far from reaching it. Conclusion, don’t set goal too high.

Identifying and then working to achieve your goals should be the approach. Try to divide your goals into mini-objectives which should lead you to attain your desired goal.
Good Luck to anyone who is trying to achieve something in their life.
Have a fulfilled life,

“Do you know what separates dreamers from achievers? GOALS.”
Just want to say that I love that line.
I already know how to set specified goals for myself, but I need to get around breaking it down into small simple steps like you did. It makes the goal seem more attainable and easy to reach rather than just saying “I must be earning $5,000 a month” as a whole.
This is absolutely true – goals can really mean the difference between wanting to do something and actually doing it. I always think that I’m pretty good at setting goals, but judging by how I don’t find myself reaching those goals very often I am starting to think that maybe I’m not that good at it. It’s important to set realistic and specific goals, and maybe put them a little higher than realistic so that you’re always stretching a little harder to reach them.

Goals could be achieved when you put your heart on what your doing. Gather all the resources that you can use and able to utilize those resources to commit your goals. Failure could sometimes happen but those failure can make them your motivation to work hard.
Thanks for those patterns and it will come in handy for me.
Your first step, writing down your goal, is absolutely essential in achieving goals. I find that writing things down somehow solidifies what you’ve written down – it’s like setting something in stone. And once it’s set, there’s no other turning back from it.
As a business we think about, I’m the manager and this is what I need my team to do. But people aren’t motivated by what’s important to you as the manager. There motivated by what’s important to them.
You know yourself better than anyone else. Don’t set a goal of working out every day at 5am if you’re the type of person that hits the snooze button four times every morning. Setting unrealistic goals will put you at risk of being one of the many that blows off their resolutions by the end of the month.

when making plans or goals, one must really think that it is viable, doable, possible and time bounded, other wise, such is called a fantasy. Add little effort and hard work, and it will be a reality. thank you for the article that you have shared.
