What are your Online Goals?

Have you set your online goals and if not, why not do it now? We all need goals to measure our achievements by and our goals need to be realistic.

You do not want to set your goals so high that you are guaranteed to fail as that will not do you any good.

One of the goals of every parent is getting their child to walk and when teaching them to walk, they make sure there are no sharp objects around and they are always there to catch them when they start to fall. Soon, after some tumbles and lots of attempts their child is off and walking and there is no looking back.

When working online, you need to set specific goals for yourself and be as specific as you can.
You do not want to set a goal of making a million dollars because that is too general. Start off with an easy goal such as I want to make one dollar online within 30 days. Again, keep it something that you can achieve and then layout a plan of action to get that one dollar.
Then continue setting other goals for where you want to be in 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years and again be realistic and focused.

Too many people come online without a dime to their name and think they are going to be retired in a year. It is not going to happen and I do not care how many websites you see where the person tells you how they lived in their car or dug ditches or was a poor college kid, etc. and now they are living the life of their dreams.

I will tell you that if you work hard, stay focused, set and work toward your goals that you can make a living online. You may not become a millionaire but how many people become millionaires in the offline world?

Just having the opportunity to work from home and not in a cubicle and not commute and not have to deal with office politics and being in control of your own future is worth a lot. However, before you get to that point, you need to get started, get focused and stay the course. You have to walk before you run online just like you did as a child.

So, take a few minutes and write down your online goals and make sure you do write them down so you can review them and track your progress.
