The Difference Between Goals & Dreams In Home Business
The new year is in full swing and it is time to set goals and resolutions both personal and professional for 2009. But before you start setting home business goals, it is good to understand the importance of goal setting and how to do it right.
The secret to setting goals is to keep them realistic and create an outline or a plan to reach them.
You have to do more to reach your goals than just dream about them.
Goals like “Make more money” or “I want to retire” and “To quit my job” are not really goals, they are dreams.
Empty shell statements with no plan of action.
Goals have a specific plan of action attached to them.
In example:
Instead of “I want more money”
It should be something like “I want to make more money by starting a home business”
You then take it a step further and turn it into a REAL, SPECIFIC, MEASUREABLE, GOAL, when you say:
“I want to make more money by starting a home business selling XYZ product and dedicating 3 nights a week and $3500 dollars to starting this business.”
Do you see the difference?
One is a dream and one is a specific attainable goal with a plan of action for accomplishing it.
When you make goals more specific they become easier for you to reach because they are measureable and you can tell if you are making progress towards them.
So the next time you brainstorm goals for yourself make sure they meet 3 criteria.
- Specific – Not broad generic statements or “dreams” as we call them
- Measureable – How do you know you are making progress if there are no results to measure?
- Attainable – Every goal should push your limits but still be a reasonable accomplishment
Following this advice will make sure you reach your goals by setting them the right way and be more productive as a result.
Goal setting is part of how NOT to fail in an online business.
