I do not know you or your situation, but you have to aim higher. You need to get uncomfortable trying to reach your goals, that is where the growth occurs.
Would you rather set low goals that you achieve, or super difficult ones that you grew like crazy and then fell slightly short of? I'd personally take the growth every day of the week.
Honestly thought this was a joke.
@Xeon if you're serious, at least you're in good company.
I feel we should be down to earth and realistic about our goals. If you've never made even US$100 in your own business before (like myself), then posting "I want to make US$10K next year" is nonsense IMHO.
How many of you guys have read this thread: EXECUTION - $100k 2017
With all love and respect for sparechange, that's a good example of an unrealistic goal UNLESS
i) your product goes viral (e.g: kayne west/johnny depp takes pics of themselves using your product)
ii) you've achieved similar success previously or have vast business exp/knowledge beforehand
What you believe is possible, you will find a way to do.
What you believe is impossible, you will not attempt to do.
1. Quit smoking. Making another double digit attempt now.
I created an all natural program for myself that causes projectile vomiting from the smell of cigarettes.
Made me scared to smoke. Didn't make me quit though. Don't know why. I probably didn't stick with it long enough. Effects tone down after a few months. They never fully go away though it seems.
This is awesome stuff everyone, here are my goals by 2019:
$100k/mo revenue from service based business
Process:
$10k/mo revenue from second business (product based business)
- Help 300 people and pick them up as monthly clients (through online advertising)
- Expand into 3 major cities (buy out small businesses in those cities and re-brand)
- re-define the game by offering a new innovative service
Process:
Learn to Speak Spanish Fluently
- Establish a large presence on social media for exposure (ex: 10,0000 followers on IG)
- Get 5 big names to endorse the product
- Get into 5 retail stores with consistent re-orders
Process:
- Spend 1-2 hours everyday practicing the language
- Speak the language with close friends daily that are fluent
Everyone who attended the 2018 Summit, wanted to go, and is looking to go next year, I challenge you...
By the 2019 Summit, you will...
WHAT?
Challenge yourself to 1 numerical goal...
This exercise is FOR EVERYONE and ANYONE... not just those who attended the Summit.
- I will have my first sale.
- I will have my first $10K/profit month.
- I will have created my first profit with my first self-invented product.
- I will have revenue of $X dollars.
- I will have imported 10 different products to review.
- I will have franchised my first location.
- I will have invented ONE product from scratch
- I will have lost 100 lbs...
- I will have done X, Y, or Z...
- I will have learned X, Y, or Z...
- I will have 10 bonafide failures (occurrences baby!)
What will you look back on and say, "Wow, things certainly changed!"
And will you be in a position to speak about the great year you just accomplished?
Don't let the momentum wane... I'm here pretty much everyday, sometimes for just a few minutes, but sometimes hours.
Put your GOAL in a numerical, measurable form!
So by next year in early February 2019, what will you be saying?

Hi Arun, I'm taking on a goal of increasing awareness of global warming and encouraging people to make a small personal difference. I want to intertwine this focus with my business to also bring awareness to my business (marketing.) The other countries I'm interested in are Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Mexico and others w/ desert climates. GregMy goal include finding and obtaining 5 more contracts in Turkey, Brazil, Mexico, India and Nigeria. Ironically these are the up and coming most industrialised nations that are on the upswing despite their questionable governments....
Also, my goal is to increase awareness ten fold, for quality and safety in industrial developments as well as manufacturing worldwide as many unwanted deaths and injuries occurs for no reason....
