What Is Your Business Income Goal?

Most people make the common mistake of taking a general desire to earn more money for an income goal. A general desire to earn more money is an excellent motivator, but to convert this desire to dollars you must have a specific income goal.

Without an income goal for a certain number of dollars per year or a specific sum by a given date, most people have trouble directing their moneymaking efforts. They wander from one business idea to the next, earning little or nothing from each idea.

This lack of a specific income goal has caused many people to lose large amounts of money investing in various business opportunities over time. What they lack is focus and direction, which leads to frustration. As a result, most people give up in anger.

What is a specific income goal? It's a goal that:

1. Specifies the exact dollar income you want
2. States the date by which you will earn this amount
3. Tells how you will earn the desired income

Money has many important characteristics. But the most important one for you to remember is that money will never seek you out. You must seek out money.

Sitting and dreaming about what you'd do if you had a million dollars is a good way to prepare yourself for building wealth in your business. But this wealth will not come to you until you take action--until you put your plan for financial success into action.
