You've heard it all before. In order to walk among the rich and famous, you need to first define your personal goals. You know, make a list of everything you want in life, everything you want to accomplish.

Well, you'll be happy to know, that's NOT the kind of thing we're talking about here.

What we're talking about here is a dollar figure, a specific amount that you set as your daily income goal. Basically, you need to determine how much money you would need to generate each day in order to quit your job, in order to earn money exclusively from home.

Before you come up with any sort of dollar figure, though, a word of caution. The figure needs to be high enough that you can live comfortably, but it also needs to be low enough that it's entirely realistic. You know, doable.

For example, you might ultimately want to make over a thousand dollars a day. And there's certainly nothing wrong with that. You just don't want to set the bar so high at the very beginning that you feel overly pressured.

So what you need to do is be totally honest with yourself. Set a financial goal that will be high enough to give you proper incentive and keep you motivated but isn't so high that it prevents you from accomplishing your goal amount.

The point is, only you know what you need. And more importantly, what you're capable of accomplishing. Plus, anyone who is currently holding down an outside job and can only invest a few hours throughout the week to start with should probably set a relatively reasonable daily financial goal.

Adversely, someone who has the ability to work fulltime at getting this system set up and running can probably establish a much higher daily dollar amount.

Regardless, it's important that you do in fact choose a specific financial goal. Then, once you've achieved that amount, you can raise the stakes. So the process is... you reach a dollar figure, set another financial goal, reach that dollar figure, set another financial goal, and so on.

Whatever you do, though, don't put a time limit on WHEN you have to achieve your financial goals. The dollar amount itself is the target, NOT how long it takes you to get there. This is extremely important. So don’t dismiss it as irrelevant or minimal.

You see, the reason most people fail (aside from the fact that they either don't know how to succeed or never find a good solid money-making product, system, or program) is simply because they place too much pressure on themselves. The bar is set so high, they can't possibly reach it, let alone scale it.
