Maybe it’s just me. Or maybe it is just me that listened to everyone’s advice, did it, and didn’t follow through. Or maybe it was me that had gotten content with the results, and figured the process had nothing to do with it…
There’s certainly an undeniable magic when it comes to writing, reviewing, verbalizing, or even nowadays typing your goals.
If you have listened to anyone who has some success, their success began with a blue print on how to get there. The blueprint is simple, write down your goals.
I know for me, it certainly has been a while - old goals of mine had become washed away in the chaos of today’s demands. New goals seem like another addition to the “To-Do” list.
As a business owner, I once wasn’t a business owner.
Actually, all I did was dream about the day I would own a business - I wanted personal freedom. I wanted to be my own boss. And I never wanted to ask if I could take my lunch break. Who is ok with that?
So, two years ago, I took the advice of one of the famous motivational gurus who preached the idea of writing down my goals.
On my goal board I wrote my dream goal: “By the age of 25, be my own boss”
I also had a financial goal: “Save $15,000 before you start your business”
And a personal goal (which at the time was): Read Rich Dad Poor Dad
I kept it simple - I didn’t want to overwhelm myself, I wanted to make it as easy as possible to Take action
Whether it was pure luck, or the fact that these 3 goals kept in my mind throughout (the last one becoming interchangeable after I finished the book) I can say with certainty that it helped at least guide my direction day in and day out. That simple. 3 goals. As a business owner now, I can’t tell you the last time I’ve written 3 solid goals out and committed to take action. So, as an act of accountability, and hoping that you share yours with me, I’m going to write them down here:
Dream goal: Scale my painting business, and double our last year annual gross to $450,000 per year.
Financial goal: Begin taking steps to invest 10% of today’s money in hopes to achieve an 8% return over the course of it’s time in the market to ensure a profitable retirement plan.
Personal goal: Read the “Fifth Agreement”
Feel free to write your own goals below. You can use my 3 goal method, or just write what you plan to do. I'm interested in truly seeing what else everyone else is aiming for.
Maybe it’s been a while for you too, and committing it to writing could be your first step to a new beginning.
