Hey There, Dave here from my desk well kitchen table to be exact. My blog topic for today is.5 Reasons Why you must set goals to get ahead.

  1. Without a set goal. You leave yourself open to the avalanche of information available to you on the web. Which will lead you away from what you should really be focusing on.

  2. Because you don't have something to shoot for. Your leaving an open end to what you are trying to do. Whats the end result you want.
  3. IF you don't have a plan of action your floating in an abyss of sorts.
  4. How do you know what you wan,t if you don't have a goal. Sure you can say I want this or that but if you don't set in down as a goal and create a plan how are you supposed to accomplish it.
  5. Five. You have to set goals so you trigger the unconscious mind. Know honestly I don't know much about all the metaphysical Sub-conscious mind and unconscious mind Stuff. BUT I do know this.in order to take action on something you have to have a thought or idea about it first. Then you take action on it or you don't. Most never do and I can't say 100% but I would guess that millions of folks have had the most brilliant idea in the whole world, but because they did not even write it down or set a goal they lost out.
These are just 5 key points on why you should set goals. look at it this way even though you don't know it your habits dictate your every move. I just read a awesome book by Brian Tracy. I am not going to detail about it cause well I would just be writing his book.

Although I will repeat this in my own words as I understood it. You need something from the store milk or whatever it is. With out even thinking about it you have a goal. To get milk. Well you have set a goal. You grab your keys and go through the motions of getting out of the house into the car like you always do, go to the store buy the milk drive home and your done. Your goal has been accomplished why??? Cause you have the milk right.. Taste good doesn't.

Now look at it this way you like me are here within WA to as an end result make money online. That is the biggest goal of all right. Of course it is. Why else would you be here. It's not to just hang out and chat it up with everyone to learn a bunch of stuff so you can never make a dime.

You have to Set a goal for yourself one of mine for this year is to make a $1000 a week. January 1st 2014. my second goal is to Go to Vegas and meet other WA members along with Kyle and Carson.. How do I plan to do that. Well you would have to look at my wall at home. I have a Visioning Board.. Basically it's a board I have up with my goals right where I can see them everyday while I work. They remind me of what I am shooting for. Having the words there right out in front is the setting of the goal.

I do this to keep me focused on the long term goals I have.
In the short term you need to stay focused on daily goals. What are you going to do today. Write them down and mark them off once they are done. Let say your plan is to write a blog post or an article on whatever topic. Like I have done right now on. 5 reasons you must set goals to get ahead. Because if you don't have a goal you are you leaving yourself open to endless distractions.

If you have your goals set in writing in front of you. You are always going to be a step ahead of the next guy or gal. I set a goal to write this about goals. I am done now I can check it off my list. I hope you enjoyed the read and look forward to hearing back from you..

Cheers to you and get Goal Setting it will free up your wondering mind.

Regards
Hudson

Hello There Hudson Thanks for the comment. A lot of new members to marketing or work from home don't think to set daily, weekly, and or monthly. I find it necessary as it keeps me focused..

Nice Work. =)

Hey There jespinola Thanks for the feed back..

=D

Sounds like you are well on your way David! I keep a list of my short and long term goals right on the board behind my computer where I can see them all the time. Gotta live it!

Shawn know what you mean.. I learned that a few years back in another book. Trying to think of the name now ummmmm the blanky blank blank.. Hate it when that happens anyway Visioning boards keep it real.. and then there are always cool quotes also. that come up.. but nothing like having a goal set in writing in front of you like $1000 dollars a week by 2014.. to remind you of why your doing what your doing.. Or say a Vegas Trip..

Dave- Great :)

Thanks for the reminder, David... needed to reel my wandering mind back in... :)
Thanks.... Julie

Hey there Julie Your Welcome.. Glad you liked it.. Now as for an action taker. Did you hit the like button, or share it with anyone to help them also. A lot of people tend to forget. That everything you share on WA no matter whose content. If you click the affiliate link and share it. It could result in an invite that could lead to a Credit, that could lead to a membership sign up.. Just a simple reminder.
Dave

I knew that... just have a wandering mind today... not sure where it's going... Did not think of that... soooo... you want me to click your "like" button and share you with the world? (smiling).... ok

Bravo!!!
This is so inspiring. You are directly encouraging me. In other words, time waits for nobody. Whatever it is that you have in your mind, go ahead and get it done, as long as it is within your reach. If it is something that needs some resources that aren't available at your disposal, you just have to set a goal and a constant reminder.

Thank so much,Dave.

Thanks Alex and god to see you back here on WA there have been some upgrades that you should take advantage of.. And share my post with the world.. cheers
