I Would Add One More Thing
I just read a short article from Helium about how to make unlimited money. The first thing the author says we should do is set goals. The next one is writting them down as
When your goal is written, it is very easy to see, remember and visualize.
As by all means I don’t argue any of that, I do want to add one thing:
Write down your goals somwhere where you can see them every day.
What good is a written goal on a piece of paper that you hardly ever check or in a notebook or agenda that you hardly ever open? Nada, zilch. Been there, done that.
Write it on a huge piece of paper and put it in the most visible place of your home. For example, I have a wall clock strategically positioned so I can see it from most places of my living room (which is where I spend most of my time at home) as I always like to know what time it is. Whenever I have a new goal to accomplish I just replace my clock with a piece of paper on which I write my goal. Huge piece of paper; even bigger letters.
What about long term goals? Just like a note in an organizer that you end up never checking, keeping a long term goal on the wall, instead of your clock won’t do much good either. Because, eventually you will start remembering that your clock isn’t there anymore so you just won’t look at it.
Just be inventive. For example, each night, before you go to bed, stick you goal to the mirror in the bathroom. This way you’ll see it every morning when you start your day. Or if you carry a breif case, put your goal somewhere on it so you see it every day before grabbing your breif case. Any place that would do the job for you is just fine.
A good idea would be to come up with new places all the time. This would be one way of keeping things fresh.
