Make your goals measurable and with a timeline. Once you’ve identified your personal feelings, and you have your general goals set, we’re going to tighten everything up and make it all super-specific. There are two ways you can do this, depending on what the goal is. A) Super-specific outcome goals. These goals tend to be more popular with people. They’re goals where you have very tightly defined aims and deadlines, such as: • Be earning $5k in passive income every month by next year • Sign up ten clients in 60 days • Make $1000 with my new Kindle book • Lose 10 pounds in 45 days • These goals add a little more pressure on you. You might use them in a back-against-the-wall situation, where you need to earn a degree of money in a particular time or fit into a dress by your high school reunion.
The disadvantage to this type of goal is that it often puts people in a “take every possible action and see what sticks” mindset, versus making long-term, lasting change.
