Lots of my team members (new members- Welcome!! :)) have been sharing your goals which is GREAT.

If you haven't already done so, I highly encourage you to set goals and share them with the community here if you'd like to.

Either way though, if you're serious about getting results here, you gotta set goals!

Whether you keep them private or share them it's very important to have something to be shooting for.

Be realistic when setting your goals but at the same time shoot just a bit higher than you think is 'realistic' so that you can get excited when you do get those 'extraordinary' results.

The next step is creating a rough game plan of how you're going to get your goals.

What actions must you take? Who must you seek? What else do you think will help get you there? Who should you be helping? How can you bring more value to your potential clients?

Create a game plan to make all of that happen. And always remember, if you help enough people get whatever it is they want help with, you'll also get what you want in return.

But let's get back to goal setting, taking action, and best of all how to work 'smarter' so you don't work 'harder'.

It's a quality over quantity principle and it works. You only have so much time yet you have endless choices for 'tasks'.

But here's the most important thing.

Not every task garners the same results.

So life sometimes is really a game of finding how to enjoy and perform the smartest and most important tasks so that you can obtain the results that you desire (without having to put in an unhealthy amount of hours per week).

All while genuinely helping other people get what they want.

What I'm REALLY trying to say is...

1) Set goals.

2) Make a plan to obtain them (by helping others get what they want, too).

3) Keep it simple

And when I say keep it simple, I mean...

Figure out the tasks which are most important and do them daily and consistently over a long period of time.

And these tasks shouldn't take up more than 3 hours of your day unless you are intensely going through training and pretty much doing an 'immersion' of information/training.

But please...

Take action while you learn!

It's all about this...

Learn. Do. Share.

You can read as many 'how to' books as you want but if you never put any of that information into action you will never get any results. And if you just wanted entertainment, that's fine.

But if you want results (which I think is why you're here, right?), you MUST take action.

You MUST become a person of action. Try things. Don't be afraid to 'fail'. Failing is only learning. Sometimes failing is how you 'level up'. Get it?

So after you create your blog, website, or just a simple blog post/video...

Your next job is to share what you've created for the world.

Yes. You've got to be your own promoter, too!

And that's a VERY important part of your job as an internet publisher, product creator, blogger, author, etc.

If these thoughts have helped you in any way I'd love it if you'd 'Like' it below and share this with anyone else you know who might benefit from learning how to 'work smarter'. Thanks. :)
