See Your 1 Year Goal Clearly In Your Mind

8/30/2013

0 Comments

 
It is so important in business to have FOCUS and to know where you are going all of the time.  Too many of us, well.....about 95% of us spend our lives performing acts of randomness as we go through life.

By having a clear 1 year goal all the time clearly in your mind you will always know what you should be doing and will start actively taking steps both consciously and subconsciously towards that goal.

Don't spend another day misdirected.

It is very important that you get a clear picture of your 1 year goal.  Here are 5 steps to getting a clear 1 year goal:

1.Think carefully about what you want to achieve 1 year from today.  Close your eyes and picture yourself having already achieved this goal in as much detail as possible.  If you are not sure what you want to achieve, force yourself to sit down and think about it.  Get clarity on where you are going and get a clear picture of it.  Your goal may be to make more money, to be more happy, to double your business, to get married, to be healthier etc.

2.Once you have a clear picture of yourself 1 year from today, you need to write down a 1 line sentence that describes your goal.  This sentence must be specific and measurable not vague.  Rather say...."I want to have $100,000 saved by Date" rather than "I want to have more money"

3.Once you have decided on your goal phrase, write it down on a piece of paper and stick it on the mirror on your bathroom! (or on the back of your toilet door)

4.Every day, read your goal and picture yourself already having achieved this goal clearly in your mind.  This process is really important as it will help you focus your thoughts and actions for the day in line with this mental picture.

5.Whenever you get stressed, flustered, confused or overwhelmed, remember your 1 year goal and get excited!!

We hope this week's tip serves you

I wrote a post a while ago, titled "Choosing the right business to start: Part 2". In the post I mentioned being realistic. Asking yourself the right questions is one of the keys to a successful business.

You have what you think is a great idea!  Now, ask yourself these 20 questions to make sure you’re thinking about the right key business decisions:


  1. Why am I starting a business?
  2. What kind of business do I want?
  3. Who is my ideal customer?
  4. What products or services will my business provide?
  5. Am I prepared to spend the time and money needed to get my business started?
  6. What differentiates my business idea and the products or services I will provide from others in the market?
  7. Where will my business be located?
  8. How many employees will I need?
  9. What types of suppliers do I need?
  10. How much money do I need to get started?
  11. Will I need to get a loan?
  12. How soon will it take before my products or services are available?
  13. How long do I have until I start making a profit?
  14. Who is my competition?
  15. How will I price my product compared to my competition?
  16. How will I set up the legal structure of my business?
  17. What taxes do I need to pay?
  18. What kind of insurance do I need?
  19. How will I manage my business?
  20. How will I advertise my business?
