Reached my Goal of $500/day - Writing It Down Works

[Ehanson]

Writing things down works, especially if you put a date next to your goal as that adds urgency and a deadline.

I also use a desktop image of something related to my goal. Custom screensavers work also. It may seem silly to some but it helps me work toward that goal.

Awesome job Rebecca! Setting a goal and achieving it is such a beautiful thing.

Just visited your blog and there's some really great stuff on there. Really informative. I was taking notes! I haven't taken notes on anything in a long time!

I've been building large Adsense based content sites forever and have been considering another method to attack and now, thanks to you, I've found it.

Hi Rebecca, congratulations!
Having a clear goal or set of goals is certainly important but without a stepped and monitored action plan to back it up is basically wishful thinking or positive thinking,- which of and by themselves are pretty redundant and ultimately destined to flop. I'm sure that there are many (if not most) warriors on here that at some stage or other have had a "$100 a day" sticky note attached to their PC screen. The thing is to be able to create a plan and everyday formula such as "do this + do that+ followed by this" otherwise one hour slips into another and spills over from day to day with nothing getting done. So have a written goal is important for sure,.. but without a written plan to back it up you may as well be dreaming!
Again,.. congrats on your achievement!

Every time I read this thread when it reappears, I smile Rebecca, you have done an incredible job and are an inspiration to so many of us. In the last 2-3 weeks I have really knuckled down and even though I'm not yet making the financial progress I want, I'm learning so much and just going to be every night knowing I made the best of the day in terms of productivity feels good. I think I'm going to make a desktop wallpaper of my own, or at least my more creative wife will My goal is $100 per day by the end of the year. Keep up the great work, and keep on inspiring us

Hey Rebecca
Have you ever read anything about the Law of Attraction? You have just proven that it works.

[babarapho]

You post has motivated me. Thanks

Having clearly defined goals, determination/strong will, and taking Action will get us to where we want, but taking the first step is the hardest part where most of the people often fail.

Congrats to you upon achieving your goal.

Congratulation RebeccaL!

Thank you to remind us how important it is to write your goals and make daily steps until you reach it!

[Debbie_L]

I'm a big fan of writing it down. I had an old sales trainer who would buy a new car when he needed to make more money. Always worked for him.

Hi Bankus Eng,

Go go, and act for your dreams. Don't let anyone to steal your DREAMS.

English is not perfect, it is a foreing language for me, I learnt at school, but do you think that I stop acting for my dreamd because some people will make fun of me because? No! I still acting and go for my goal!

Will you make mistakes?
Yes, you will but there mistakes will make you stronger!

Normally I "hate" posting to a thread only to see it is 2 or 3
months old. HOWEVER, I am glad this post got resurrected.

I really like the idea of goal wallpaper, so I created my own.
1. I got a Hubble Telescope picture.
2. I lightened it so it
doesn't overwhelm my desktop icons.
3. I picked a dollar amount
and three currently out of reach things to shoot for.
4. Next I will write the plan I need to implement to achieve
these goals. I know the process, but it is not WRITTEN down.

I have known about writing goals for a long time. I have done it
many times, but always let it slip after a while. What better
way to keep it in mind than to create wallpaper that is a daily
reminder.

Today I will implement one part of the plan I already have in my
head.

Nice one Bob!

In the scheme of things, $300/day isn't a lot of money. Millions of dollars are traded on the internet every day. $300 is but a mere pittance - if you think of it like that then it will seem more achieveable

[Randy J]

Awesome Rebecca...
Staying focused on your goals is the only way one will ever succeed in the game!!!

Thanks for sharing...

I also wanted to thank Rebecca for this post, it was resurrected right when I needed it to be! I'd just been toying with the thought of putting a picture on my desktop but it seemed kinda hokey, then I read this and it was like Kismet, I had to do it. So now I've got this great picture of a car with the money I want to make on my desktop and every single time I see it, it makes me smile. Worth the price of admission right there. Thanks so much for sharing this!

I read this thread when it got resurrected. But it wasn't until today that i had a phrase go round in my head. I was coming up with a affirmation to get myself going.

I thought bingo i'll make it into a wallpaper background.
I kept it simple. It's a short term wallpaper. The most important part is the cash. All the other items are secondary in importance. I have got to hit around 8k in 3weeks.
I have a list of things to include in the next 'vision board'.

I've resized it.

Here's mine-

(small car is a hyundai getz,larger is a prius. The bottom 3 are related to travel.)

Taking action is important to see any results.
Successful people/entrepreneurs look for results.

Lovely wallpaper, good luck with your goal of $10k by Nov 9

[Matt Peters]

Very inspirational! Thanks for sharing.

Ha ha, a bunch of dip****s in suits is not going to motivate me to make $1000 by Dec. 25! But I get the point, it's good.

[joelraitt]

It really does work, last month i said 3000 profit on the internet....in the last 4 days i made 2800!!! this month i made a goal of 20 000 profit, and im gunna be close again!!! goals are awesome.

[designfuschion]

thankyou rebecca
I don't usually have that many different images in background. Nice and simple to keep it focussed and still remember a couple of long term goals.

It must be starting to work. While i havent made anything yet-last night i discovered the JV board and that i don't have to have a list to swap with so long as i have the right product!

To everyone's success,
df

Hi Rebecca,

Congrats on Your Success! I'm sure you'll hit the $800/day mark in no time..

[4success53]

Great job!

Keep on writing your goals down, Stay focused.

Wishing you many more successful days!

[accessmajor]

Well I'm inspired. I never thought having those goals I wrote ages ago right in front of me would make a difference but I am going to get them in my face before the end of the day. Reminds me why I am doing all this.

[michellegreen]

What a great idea to have it on your computer wallpaper! My goals are currently stuck to my office walls, but I think I might have to look at that as another option! hehe!

[antiquenh]

Congratulations. Your story is very inspiring and I personally believe in vision boards. I have one in my room but I have yet to achieve my goals. Your story is really nice because it seemed like you worked really hard for it. You deserve it, keep it up!

[Liam Hamer]

I finally got around to making one of these It's no masterpiece but I think it's going to really help me stay motivated. I was pretty specific in terms of the pics Some of the things are pretty life changing and some of them are things I would like more of more often(like the curry and beer )

[Scott Ames]

I wonder if I have set a high enough goal?

[tweetyoutweetme]

Thank you for the great idea. It will be a great starting place for us newbies!

It's a start

[freudianslip27]

It's true, even that first $50 is a super huge accomplishment. So many people try online marketing and DON'T MAKE A DIME. If you are already making money, even if it doesn't seem like a lot, trust me that's huge.

You are so far ahead of most beginners out there. Keep pushing forward!

Matt

[RebeccaL]

You'll need more than $1 a day to buy that hot car Scott

Nice wallpaper Liam.. good to see you've included Sydney on your wish list

[ninja newbie]

OK, This has to be the best thread I have read in a loooong time, simply because it says that it can be done if you believe it can, however you must do what is necessary to get it done. Thank you so much for posting this and congrats.
