I just wanted to talk about goal setting and having a plan.

I want you to imagine standing in the middle of a 25x25  foot square room. On one
wall there is a dart board about eye level. Right in the middle of the dart board
there is a tiny red bullseye. Now imagine a professional dart player steps into
the room to compete against you. How do you think you would do? Do you
even have a chance? Probably not,right!

Well what if the professional dart player was blindfolded? He or she would still
have a chance as long as they were pointed in the right direction, but you certainly
would fair better. Now lets spin the professional dart player around. You have a much better
chance of winning don't you think? You can see the bullseye, you can focus on the bullseye
and you have a huge advantage now. Isn't it much easier to hit a target that we can see?

This is the point of the title."an idiot with a plan will beat a genius without a plan
everytime" If you have hopes and wishes but no goals or plans, then you are just flinging
darts out there and you don't even know if you are close to hitting anything. Action is
simply not enough.

So how do you start? First thing I would do is write a list of things you would like to do.
Have you seen the show the "Bucket List"? What do you want to do before you leave this earth?
Would you like to see Mt Everest, go sky diving, go to Russia, have a million dollars in the
bank,own your own business. Basically you need to start dreaming again.

Come up with at least 100 things you want to see or do or have before you are gone.

The next thing you need to do is see the end in mind. If you start a business, what will it
look like 5 years from now, 2 years from now, 1 year from now. Then you break it down into 3
month increments.Then break it down into weekly and daily plans. You need to know each day
that there is only onebest action and that needs to be done first. You wont know what that
action is if you don't have a target or a plan you are shooting for.

If you want to own a profitable online business making $10,000 per month, then you need to
know whatyou need to be earning daily. If you plan on making $120,000 a year or $10,000 a month,
you need to beearning about $329.00 dolllars a day. Now ask yourself what can I do to make
$329.00 a day. See when youask yourself a question, your mind will go to work to solve the question.
If you have a product that makesyou $50.00 a sale. Well then, what can you do daily to sell 7 of
those. Maybe you can have seven productsthat you make $50.00 on, and you only need to sell one of
each daily.

Get Started. A body in motion tends to stay in motion. Get a small notepad you can keep your
100 list with you at all times. Look at it many times daily. Write down how much you need to
make daily. Rememberit is "Be" then "Do" then "Have". It always starts in the mind first.
Writing it on paper puts it into motion. No more fling'n darts ok, you might hit someone.

Abundance Always
