I remember back in the Fall of 2002 sitting at my desk at my fulltime job and staring at a sheet of paper.
I had worked at this particular mainstream internet company for 3 years and I was about to give them my 2 weeks notice that I was leaving. I was about to become a fulltime adultwebmaster. I had written on that sheet of paper in big bold letters what my income goal was.
$20,000/month.
That was all I typed on the piece of paper. At the time I was making about $2000 a month.
I remember talking to my coworkers and them laughing and saying "yah right" how are you going to make that much money? I have learned not to let doubters and haters phase me. I'm on a mission. I stay the course.
Less than 2 years later I reached my goal.
I firmly believe it's beneficial to have a concrete goal in your mind of the amount of money you want to make in this business. I choose an amount and continually replay it in my mind as I go about my work on a daily basis. If I find something that helps me get closer to my goal - I keep doing it! If it doesn't I stop doing it and try something else.
But making goals can apply to just about anything... goals on how many hours a week you work, how many sites you own, sales per day, etc, etc. Write your goal down on a piece a paper and place it by your computer, stick it on your fridge - whatever you need to do to help program your mind and motivate yourself to reach that goal.
It works for me and I highly recommend that you try it.
