Do you ever set any goal about how much money you want to make in next year?

If you do then you must pay attention. You might fall into a trap. I agree that goal setting is an important process for us. It is a guide for us to plan our year accordingly so that we can achieve what we want to. If you want to make more money, you must set a clear and achievable money goal.

The Problem of Money Goal

I always set money goal. I’m making money from the Internet and this is a business that needs to be driven by goals and motivation. This is because it is a part time business where I take action in my spare time. So I need motivation to take action and sacrifice my spare time to exchange for a business income source. Otherwise I cannot take action because of laziness.

However, I always fail to achieve my goal. I always fail to achieve goals that I have set for my online business. If I want to give a mark to this “test”, I can tell you that I FAIL. I believe something must be wrong with me.

So I look back at my works and I found something common. That is I always stop taking action in the earliest stage. I never take action persistently until I achieve my goal.

The biggest problem that I have is I’m too focusing on the money goal. For example, I want to make $1000 in 1 month. So I usually divide the $1000 by 30 so that I know on average I have to make at least $33 per day. I wrote this down on a piece of paper and put it every where that I can see it. Then only I go out and take action.

But I’m not the lucky guy that always succeed in first few days. In day 1, I fail and I told myself that I’m just starting up. In day 2, I fail again and I told myself that it takes time. After 1 week, if I haven’t hit my goal to make $33 daily, I gave up because I worry, lost my focus and stopped taking actions.

I must do something on this or else I will never succeed in online business or any money goal that I set in my journey to financial freedom.

Finally I found the solution for the Money Goal Problem

I found a secret to overcome this problem. I wish I would have found this earlier so that I won’t waste so much of time.

Yes we must set a money goal especially about how much money we should make in a certain time frame. But we should not focus on the figure and use it as the measurement of our progress. In most cases, we are not always lucky enough to see the results in the early stage. Therefore, if we keep focusing on the figure and we can’t see any sight that we are making any money, then we will in trouble as we loss our confidence and motivation along the time.

So the solution is we must focus on the actions and the results. Here is what we must do:

After we set a goal, we must decide how we are going to do to achieve it. Here we decide the strategies, plans and tools that we can use to achieve our goal. After that based on the plans, we must list down the actions that we must take. Then we must imagine what kind of results we will get after the actions. Please never include money in these results. When every thing is done, then all you have to do is wake up every day and take the actions. Focus on the actions and never check how much money you have make. As long as you take enough actions and the money will come on itself which you don’t really have to care about.

I found that this method is working fine with me. I can focus on my actions and it will take care the rest for me and attract the money that I deserve. Besides that my motivation keeps increasing because I accomplished a lot of tasks(actions). If you always fail to achieve any goal, then my method may work for you too.

Steps to Hit Your Money Goal

Here is a short list about things you must do in order to succeed:

1. You must set a goal about how much money you must make. Yes you must do this!
2. Then spend sometime and think about how you are going to achieve it.
3. List down the actions or to do list that you must accomplish to hit your goal.
4. List down the results that you will get after you finish each actions you have listed above.
5. Revise and change your actions plan accordingly based on your experience, if needed.

Never think about your goal about money. If possible, never check your balance or calculate how much money you have make. This will help you to maintain your motivation and let you focus more on what you should do right now instead of what you have achieved.

Give this a try and let me know the results. Good luck!
