Greetings WA fam!

I wanted to touch on the importance of being specific when setting goals. I noticed some comments on the "money goal" blog were vague and I can tell some people don't really know how to set goals or are very confident.

That happens, however it is imperative to be specific when setting goals mainly because it gives you direction and purpose for what you want accomplish.

You won't get directions using your GPS without putting in a specific destination.

To me setting goals are similar to keyword research. When you are researching a keyword that is too broad it will be hard to get quality traffic. So, when you're setting goals that are too vague it will be hard to accomplish them.

For example if I ask you how much money do you want to make a month and you say "a lot" or "enough" then you require more skill in setting goals.

When setting money goals(or any goals) be specific and realistic to your situation. I myself have goals to become a billionaire, however I have to become a millionaire first. Make sense? Good.

Remember, you are what you think about!

Al the best,

Demetra
