This post is a little overdue, but first I don’t want you to think I started the year off slacking… Far from it!

I have been very busy behind the scenes concentrating on setting things up to build my list, and I’ve also been working on a few things that will hopefully help bring some extra money in to fund things like Aweber, hostsing, etc…

I will most likely blog about my other projects when I’ve had time to see if they bring in the desired results, and what ever happens I will more than likely create a product for you to benefit from, be it about my success or otherwise… And of course I will make it free of charge to my subscribers! ;)

I’ve also spent a good amount of that time planning for the weeks and months ahead, so I’ll move on now and state my goals for 2010 to the world, something which I’ve never done before might I add…

==============

My Goals For 2010

These are the things I am going to achieve by the end of 2010:

Business Goals

  • Build my list to 10,000  (current total stands at 345 so I have a looong way to go, I think it’s achievable though)

For the first quarter of the year my goal is 2000 by April 1st (I will update this every quarter)

  • To be Consistently making between $2,000 – 3,000 per week
  • Get my Alexa traffic rank inside the top 100,000 (currently stands at 211,236)
  • Create a successful Membership Site of some kind
  • Create and release at least 2 products based on my results with things I’m doing to build my business
  • Help as many newbies as possible get started with their online endeavours, and give them my full support
  • Make a blog post every 1-2 weeks
  • Do a WSO (Warrior Special Offer) on the Warrior Forum in February
  • Create videos for my blog and subscribers every month (currently in the process of learning more about creating screen capture presentations)
  • Make easy to follow action plans for each part of my business
  • Do more keyword research and Search Engine Optimise this blog and rank on the first page for all my chosen keywords and key-phrases
  • Add some sales funnels into the mix
  • Surround myself with like minded positive people and keep in contact on a daily/weekly basis (already in process)
  • Test and track everything that I do, and work on ways to improve the results
  • Give myself a set start and finish time for working on my business each day, and use the time wisely. (Any internet usage after that is my leisure time.)
  • Work to a countdown timer on each task to get the best use of my time, and increase my productivity
  • Treat this as proper business, if YOU don’t work hard enough YOU get fired! ( this is to give me some motivation when I read this back each week.) :)
  • Make a new pledge to myself and read it each day before I start working on my business
  • Look back at these goals every day to remind me why I’m doing this, and what I want to achieve by the end of the year ( This is written in my pledge)
  • Stick to a strict plan of action at all times
  • Have a set routine to motivate myself before I start working each day
  • Keep a Journal documenting everything that I do each day, and make it a part of my daily tasks to write it.

Entrepreneurial Goals

  • Create a system that brings me a consistant flow of leads into my business
  • Refer back to the MWA coaching and listen to it all again, check my notes from the first time and see what I missed.
  • Work harder at branding myself
  • Learn more about making video screen presentations
  • Study copy-writing
  • Study sales funnels
  • Study SEO
  • Study product creation
  • Get into the habit of focusing on the positives, and irradiate the negatives
  • Study motivational material

Personal Goals

  • Make enough money so my dad can take a well deserved early retirement. (This means so much to me, and is the main reason I’m doing this. My dad has barely taken a day off work in 10 years, probably longer.)
  • Make enough money to put towards buying a detached house for my parents, and me while I still live with them (I still live with my parents in a small semi-detached house right now, so we all need somewhere bigger now)
  • Make enough money to be able to afford my own place and all the bills that go with it
  • Treat my mum and dad to an all expenses paid holiday
  • Do more exercise and get out of the house more
  • Keep things neat and tidy and have a clean up each month (right now I’ve got papers everywhere, my desk is dusty, and I keep losing things)
  • Book myself a holiday
  • Book myself and some friends on a driving experience weekend at Silverstone Race Track
  • Treat myself to a 50″ widescreen TV (or maybe slightly smaller if I’m still in this small house..lol)
  • Purchase a PS3 once I’ve acheived some of my big monetary goals (I could afford one of these now, but I don’t want to distract myself from my business, so this will be a treat)

I’m off to start breaking this down into monthly and weekly plans now, I hope you have enjoyed this insight into my business and what I have planned for the future.

Now go and create your own plan of action, feel free to use mine for ideas… But remember that your goals and plan will be different than mine, and it is important to include things in your personal plan that will motivate you and drive you to succeed, no matter what it takes.

Also you may wonder why I haven’t really added that many expensive treats for myself in my personal goals, well for me it is making other people happy and seeing their reactions that gives me a buzz… And doing things for the people I care about is more than enough motivation for me, so the most expensive of my personal goals are actually for other people as crazy as that sounds.

It’s also so I can tell my Dad ” I told you so”… He doesn’t believe that it’s possible to make money doing what I’m doing, which only pushes me harder to make it happen… So thanks Dad. :razz:

PS- Making your goals public like I have here is the best way to accomplish them, you see holding myself accountable to you all, and displaying my goals here for all to see, is going to make me work my butt off to achieve them. Because I will be writing another post at the end of the year, like I did with  2009, The Year It All Began…., and while it won’t be the end of the world if I don’t achieve everything I set out to do, it won’t make me feel to good having to say I didn’t manage to achieve this , this and this.

Also feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think of my goals, and if you don’t have a blog of your own yet (highly recommended) then you can simply hold yourself accountable to me and the readers of my blog by replying to this post with your goals.

Don’t be shy, give it a try! :)
