How To Use Goals Setting In A Legitimate At Home Business
If you read the title to this subject (which I’m assuming
you did) you will realize that goal setting is an important, and often
overlooked, part to success in a legitimate at home business. Without setting
goals, tracking your progress, and setting expectations on yourself it is tough
to stay motivated.
Setting goals is a complicated thing. We are taught to set
SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely) goals. A goal needs
to have all of these components; that is true. However, I want to take it one
step further to the step that most people don’t do. This next step is crucial
in a legitimate at home business because it is something that takes very little
time, but makes a big impact. You need to train yourself to do this, even
outside of home based business opportunities, in everything you undertake.
This powerful tool is taking your SMART goal, writing it
down, keeping it with you and reading it right when you wake up and before you
go to bed. When you read your goal, do so out loud. Don’t just read it either.
Going through the motions in anything you do, especially in business, is
devastating. You need to read it an imagine it being a reality. You need to
take your desire + emotion (get my ebook for more information) and attach that
to your goal. Once you do that, and read it to yourself, you are imprinting
yourself and actually changing the way your subconscious thinks. You are
materializing the goal, making it some sort of a reality even if you haven’t
achieved it. You are training yourself to believe it. Believing in your goal,
actually feeling it can be true, is the most important step towards attaining
it.
The specific aspect of your goal needs to be just that:
specific. Instead of stating “I want to earn a lot of money” or “I want to get
rich” make it more specific. Make it “I want to earn $1,000,000.” That is being
very specific. The next step, measureable, is kind of built into that step. If
you are specific enough, it will be measureable. Take the “$1,000,000” goal.
You can easily measure whether or not you have accomplished that. However, “a
lot of money” or being “rich” are subjective – tough to measure. The third
step, attainable, is important. Don’t let yourself aim low by trying to please
this step. Pick something that is attainable, but will still be enough to make
you work for it. Being realistic falls into the same category; “I want to be a
billionaire by tomorrow” is not realistic. Timely is a very important aspect of
the goal setting process. You need to attach a timeframe to your goal. Keep in
mind with the timeframe it also needs to be realistic, attainable, specific,
and measureable. A good goal, keeping with our example, would be “I want to
earn $1,000,000 in the next 5 years.” That meets all of the criteria; even the
“realistic” J
If applied properly, setting goals can become a part of your
daily ritual. If that is done, it will dramatically increase your results in
everything you do. Whether it be a legitimate at home business, working out, or
anything, this will help you accomplish your goals!

Re: Trade Shows - Are They Worth It?
- HI,
I have used trade shows (not participated) to collect potential clients. For example, the Home & Garden Industry is extremely behind the time in regards to their websites. I attended an Home & Garden Expo in Denver and collected all the companies contact information. I plan on cold calling & mailing information to each business.
It also gave me time to research the industry more, talk directly to the owners in many cases, and learn more about what they need.
