I'm sure you've read at least once during your online travels that "writing down your goals" embeds them into your mind and can subconsciously lead you to take actions that will lead to the achievement of said goal.
For a long time I waved that off as hogwash. Rubbish I thought. Then one day a few months back I decided what the heck, and I made a quick desktop background that had some desirable images (mostly travel locations that I want to visit) and a big banner in the middle saying "$500/day by December 31 2009". Well today I have reached that goal. At 2pm my profits for today are $505 and the day isn't over yet. It wasn't achieved over night. My income has been increasing day by day. Every $50 increase was a new milestone. I'm not the type to believe that my desktop background has led to my success but I tell you, seeing that same old boring desktop every time I boot up my computer made me see $500 as not a lot of money and something I would achieve. I probably won't earn $500 everyday but anything over $300 is pretty darn good in my book. I'll be changing my background now to $800/day by December 31 2009 - I'll need to add a few more revenue streams to consistently see that sort of money coming in. So write down your financial goal, put it somewhere visible and glance at it everyday. And don't be afraid to aim high.. I can live on $100/day but why settle for that when there's so many opportunities out there in the wonderful world of affiliate marketing. Just a bit of motivation for the people struggling as I've read a few "down and out" threads here lately. Don't give up! |

Writing it down definitely works. I write down all my goals and take action on them everyday. My income goal is to achieve a five figure monthly income. I will get to this point by staying focused. Congratulations on your success.

Mock my words, I will be a millionaire someday or die trying. I'll do it by doing what others don't won't or can't.

I am also hoping that you will share a few of the methods (that worked alongside writing down your goal) that helped you get to where you wanted to be! |

Motivation and setting the goals is the most important thing in business. Even if is hard sometimes, especially in the beginning, you need to make yourself keep going and never stop. Because your stop may be a step before the success and you will never get there.
Motivate yourself! |

Rebecca - I do the EXACT same thing. I have the desktop background with photos of the home, the car, the body, the family - everything I want exactly as I want it in my life... along with the goal of $15k/month by December 31st, 2009. Beyond that, I meditate on it every night for at least 15 minutes. I look at photos and imagine that these things actually exist in my life right now.
Its starting to work. My focus is different now. Can't say that I've seen an increase in my income since the beginning of the year, but it will happen. Congrats on reaching your goal - keep going and feel good about it. A few suggested books: Think and Grow Rich The Secret Both deal with the phenomenon of the "law of attraction". |

Congrats Rebecca! Isn't it a wonderful feeling??
As a Life Coach who has to practice what I preach (!) I also know first hand that writing it down (or putting it on your desktop!) makes all the difference. My goal was to generate enough income so I could work from home (I currently work in a full time job). I wrote it down, stuck it EVERYWHERE, would think about it throughout the day and how great it would feel, etc etc. Tomorrow at 4pm I will realise my dream of working for myself because tomorrow's my last day at work! |

I do a simliar thing with my desktop background. Though I didnt place my goal. I just placed the pic of my first check I got through CPA in my laptop. Everytime I login, I see the check and I push myself to get more such checks!

Fabulous news, Rebecca!
Pretty exciting to reach a goal and then set a new one, eh? Too many times, you hear of people who set a goal, reach it, and then idle. Or they don't reach that goal at all. And it's a lot of fun to update that goal poster, as well. Plus it's a kick to make a goal poster and then look at the great items you're working toward (along with the new dollar amount, of course). |

This is an incredible thing to see Rebecca (and more proof) as I'm now currently on my 6th? reading all the way through of 'Think and Grow Rich' and now I decided I would do EVERYTHING he said through the book: write it down, read it daily, visualize it etc.
I'm finding is it's not the 'tactics' themselves but the mindset that accompanies it. All the visualizations are a great way to "believe it" and it's awesome to see someone actually who has made it come to life. $500+ in a single day is a fantasy for most.. even some drug dealers and pimps LOL This post is "GRRRREAAAAATT!!!!!" |

I admire your thrust on achieving goals, right now I am taking management courses and the thesis of the whole class is about achieving goals. I guess I will try writing them down and sticking to them!

Rebecca that is awesome!!! Everyone needs to read posts like yours to keep going. Many people give up they're "down and out". They don't realize that success only comes one step past the point most people quit. Good work and look forward to seeing your post when you reach your $800 day! Shannon | |

I have always known that writing your goals down, meditating on it daily and focusing on them will bring you closer to accomplishing them. Posting photos of your desires also helps.
I try to do them but I am not always focused on the goals all the time so I have not seen my goals materialising but something just happened to me yesterday. My PC has been misbehaving so I prayed to God to give me a laptop and some money on top to upgrade my internet connection. I got a brand new laptop yesterday and the money I needed for the internet upgrade. I am typing this from the new laptop with the enhanced internet connection working. Believe in God and he will give you the desires of your heart, says the Bible. It works. |

Congratulations! I think that's a great idea. I'm going to try that out myself. I have my overall goal posted on the corkboard above my desk but to break it down into steps is helpful-sometimes the big goal seems overwhelming!

$500 a day and $500 in one day are not the same thing. But it's still a good achievement.
