Savvy Entrepreneurs Visualize Goals for Home Business Success
Do you visualize your goals every morning and every evening?
If you're a fairly practical, down to earth person like me that may sound a little bit too "New Age" for your comfort. However, truly committed and successful people go through this process first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Do it right and it defines your day. It defines how you sleep. It defines how you wake up and approach the next day. Do it right, and it draws your goal closer.
So, what's the secret? Let me answer that with yet another question: What ARE your goals?
If you're like most people, your immediate answer will be something along the lines of "I want to make $X per week/month/year." Well, duh. We all want to be financially secure. The real question you need to answer is "What does that financial security buy me? What is the money for?"
For many of you it may boil down to something as simple as this: I want to be able to sit down at a table and have a bowl of cereal with my kids.
Now, that's specific! And it's something you can easily visualize. What does the table look like? Where are your kids sitting? What are they talking about? Can you smell the coffee brewing, taste that sip of orange juice? Maybe it's winter time and you hear the microwave ding as it finishes cooking the oatmeal. What color is the floor? Is there a window? What color are the curtains? What's the weather like? What can you see outside?
Is this all that's required to achieve your goals? Of course not. But do this - set aside this "quiet time" for yourself morning and evening - and you're one step closer to achieving them!

- There's a thread for good books in the Resources folder, but it doesn't target books for businesswomen particularly, so I figured I'd start such a thread here.
It doesn't matter how successful you are in your business - it's always possible to learn something new.
In subsequent posts I give Table of Contents and brief descriptions for various titles - most of them devoted to the businesswoman - and sometimes a review. If anyone else has read a review, or has read the book and found it useful, please comment!
