a 3k goal is not bad and no not anyone can make more than that in day to day life without serious time, etc. For some reason it seems that many people forget that the median income per household member above 14 is a whopping 26k per year. With assumptions of full time work year round. This is also pre-tax. As a business owner you have way more chances to deduct taxes than the average working person - despite the tax rate difference. Even that can of course be altered by incorporations and such. That of course is only for the US. I am fairly certain it would be worth a hell of a lot more in many other places in the world. Hell in the US he would be 10k a year above average.
I also like to set lower and reachable goals. Then once reached I set new reachable goals and continue on. Small steps also kept me way more motivated.
