Is this your Idea of a goal?

I want to make a million $'s

If this is your idea of a goal, you are setting yourself up for a lifetime of failure. However, if this is the way you are thinking it's not entirely your fault and better yet it's not to late to change the way you think and begin creating your million dollars. First of all every program, whether its here in the forum, elsewhere on the web or all the MLM opportunities that you have been exposed. every one has told you that their program is the best and easiest way to financial freedom, which is true provided you have a passion for the program. However most people go in seeing $ signs and never make dollar 1. What I do with my clients is work with them to find the one or two interests that they would enjoy being involved with, that's right I don't try to fit them into a particular mold. We work together, using probing questions, we drill down until we find the right fit so the goal looks like what follows:

"I allow myself to use my talent and knowledge of gardening,
to become the ultimate source for do-it-yourself gardeners.
My business will include the best products and information
available to assist them in having the most beautiful garden
in their neighborhood."

The point is do what makes you happy and helps others, the money will naturally follow whereas if your just in it for the money you will struggle everyday and probably not last very long.


To your success,
Mike

    I agree...

    It boils down to 3 simple questions

    1.) What are you truly passionate about?
    2.) What are you ambitions in life? (or dreams?)
    3.) What talents do you posses or are willing to acquire to obtain objectives1 and 2?

    And finally, the real kicker... what do you want to be remembered for?

    When you find that a round peg doesn't fit in the square hole... it's the same as trying to impress others without being yourself. Millions of people go to work and convince themselves...that's who they are.

    99% of the time people lose site of who they are and spend more time and energy doing a jobn they hate for less money then their worth only to sacrifice themselves and their true ambitions.

    I know...I have since woke from that nightmare and since determined the time is too short to be wasted. There too...in facing that fear, that shift or break-a-away from the normal routine, opportunities have manifested whereby financial increase is in the equasion... but it's living life without barriers and fear that entertains me more than money!

    My personal view of goal and success:

    “To set the GOAL is to “Go On After Lost”. Thus, reaching the GOAL is just a matter of time!"

    “Success follows those who put more importance on mental strength over physical presence "

    Cheers!

        I think this is a great point. I keep a piece of paper on my wall that has answers to the following four questions:

        I am going to achieve the following:
        I am doing this because:
        This is important to me because:
        I am accomplishing this by:

        It serves as a great reminder.

        I originally got the idea from the confidential internet intelligence manual volume 2 by mark joyner. And it turned out to be great advice.

    To make first Million Dollars is most important as rest will come themselves... Fetching first is tough. Let me tell you... More than 99% people here either posting or suggesting are not Millionaires themselves, so you can't rely for their expert opinion.

    What I can suggest you is... plan for billionous... at least you can get millions!!!

    What I feel most of us want to be millionaires... without spending or least spending. First of all plan how would you get there with some idea of time frame included in it. Then you need to organize resources... Man, Money, Methods and Market etc.

    Write down every thing on paper... Then comes most important part... implementation. This phase determines, how much you are dedicated to your GOAL?

    There are a few more steps... I'll let you know once I get millionaire myself :-)

    I personally see nothing wrong with setting a goal to make a million $'s. It's how you go about it that should be questioned. I don't agree with using illegal activities or stepping on other people to get it, but if it's honest....then go for it.

    If a person is willing to work hard and do everything in their power to make it happen, then they deserve to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

    I agree if you have not made anywhere near 1 million dollars before you are definitely setting yourself up for failure. So what you need to do is set small intermediate goals and build on them until you reach the main goal.
