How To Make Money By Becoming Goal Focused

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

One thing that you have to stay focused on if looking at how to make money, are your goals. Below are three methods which I strongly believe you must put into action in order to advance your goals.

 

1. WORK WITH THE END IN MIND AND FOCUS ON SUCCESS

 

Beginning with the end in mind is the broadcast of imagination. For instance, if you are the programmer, write the program, says, goal expert- Stephen R. Covey. Goals help us to focus, and the quality of our attention is thus enhanced by a having a project so exciting that we cannot wait to get to the finish line. Let us say that you want to organize your workspace so that everyone is inspired to do their best work. The problem are the steps in between. For example, ergonomic concerns & planning comfortable lighting, themselves can seem mundane, but joined together they name a bigger accomplishment and by doing so, asks us to spice up our expectations & upgrade who we are. Focus on success & keep in mind how you want things to end up--And you’ll soon enough be successful.

 

 

a. Name the accomplishment.

 

b. Give your project a title.

 

c. What needs to be done by when.

 

d. How would you like things to end up.

 

e. Identify upbeat reasons for pursuing the goal.

 

 

2. RAISE THE BAR AND SHOOT FOR THE MOON

 

Define greatness, challenge your limits, double the goal, or try something new. These are just some of the sentiments which put our plans on the path to action and move us towards amazing results. Look around and witness the very essence of commonplace activities being tested and re-imagined. For instance, schools are redefining Physical Education by bringing in activities ranging from kickboxing to more esoteric offerings like tai chi and yoga. Also, with the introduction of blogs, an international conversation is in full swing with millions of links and a central clearing house inspired by immediacy, intrigue and anticipation. Raising the bar on a project can simply mean taking one extra step, having an allegiance to an unconventional idea, or devoting to a regular practice. Commit to a goal in a meaningful way, personalize it, and own it. Then watch an otherwise sleepy project wake up and give way to a new found energy, creativity and distinction. Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you will land out of this world.

 

a. Double the goal.

 

b. Challenge the limits.

 

c. Create a regular practice.

 

d. Raise your standards, values or beliefs.

 

e. Compete with your former self.

 

3. GO THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE AND SHOW ME THE SHORTCUT

 

Sometimes a goal deserves a break. Time Magazine once reported that after eight hours of sleep you will be more than twice as likely to find a shortcut for solving a problem. Suggesting that taking it easy is good for the brain, and what is good for the brain is good for the overall psyche and soul. Are you doing too much? Are you not getting nourished and becoming exhausted? Well, perhaps it is time to consider another path. Don not reinvent the wheel. Pick up a book written by an expert, join a group which is geared around your project, sign up for an informational newsletter, or simply ask for help. For instance, if I was writing a screen-play and struggling with a self imposed deadline, I could simplify my project just by signing up for a writing class. With weekly writing tasks, and in-class exercises this alone would expedite the development of my script. Another over looked shortcut is to consider taking smaller steps. The smaller the increments, the easier the goal. Deng Ming-Dao, writes in "EVERYDAY TAO", "An inch in one direction, then an inch in another already makes a span of 2 inches." Gradually, we can improve on that. Go the path of least resistance, it is a gift of energy.

 

a. Do not reinvent the wheel, rather, find someone who has done it before.

 

b. Slow down, or change the pace.

 

c. Stay on pace with minimum daily standards.

 

d. Write everything down. Keep in mind that loose ideas get lost.

 

e. The smaller the increments, the easier the goal.

 

 

 

Keep in mind that they key towards how to make money are your goals. Focus on them, and execute them.

 

Zero Cost. Zero Obligation.
