The other day I was reading a passage in Zig Ziglar’s book “See You at The Top”. The section about goal setting. To paraphrase, the book was telling a story about a man who came up to Mr. Ziglar after hearing him speak. The man said “You inspired me, I’m going to make a million dollars in the next 12 months” Mr. Ziglar smiled at the man, as to, not crush his dreams but he also new it was not likely to happen. The fact is, the man would have to earn $20,000 a week to meet his goal of $1 million in 12 months.
We have all done this, we have all set goals with out really creating a path to achieve them. We have all heard the saying “If your dream is big enough, the facts do not matter.” I do not know any millionaire in the world that got their on dreams alone.
What happens when you do not make a million dollars in 12 months? You feel real bad and your confidence goes way down and you become very discouraged.
Stop, the abuse. One of my mentors showed me a very easy way to set financial goals. Focus all your energy on making that first dollar. If you can figure out how to earn $1 online you can figure out how to double it. So, instead of setting your goal to make a million dollars in 12 months. Figure out how to make a dollar a week. Then a dollar a day then $2 dollars a day. And keep doubling your efforts and resources.
All the time you are learning and growing. You will gain more and more resources to double your efforts even more.
So pick one product, one marketing method and focus on it until you figure out how to make your first dollar. Then figure out how to double it.
The only way to start a fire using a magnifying glass is focus the beam of light on one spot for a long time. Use the power of focus to get your internet marketing business off the ground.
Remember: Do not go into markets that a: no one else is in & b: that have small number of people to sell to.
