Goal setting for the successful painter Part 2
By Terry | July 20, 2009
Step 2- Write your goals down
The simple act of putting your goals in writing makes them visible and more tangible. It’s no longer just a though in your head. Seeing it on paper will help you to determine your priorities, get organized, and find it easier to stay focused on what you want.
Write your goal in a positive way, make them time sensitive, and be sure to include a plan of action. For example instead of writing, “I would like to double my income in the next year or two.” Be more specific and positive by writing, “I will double my income this year! I’ll do that by starting one hour earlier each morning, increasing my advertising budget by 25%, making five more sales calls each week, and hiring two more people, enabling me to operate a second crew.”
Next, give your goals power by writing them in the present tense and relating them to your own life goals. Try adding something like, “What a great feeling it is to own a successful business. Because of all the money I’m now bringing in I’m debt free. I’m now able to take my family on great vacations anytime I want! – Next stop; Disney World!!
