Hey guys, this post ends the era of generic “can-find-elsewhere-on-Google” posts. I’ve decided to go a new direction, a direction that will lead to MORE success stories and MORE growth for all my followers. I’d also just like to quickly thank everyone for the support so far!

Back to the article! You excited? Well by the title, you should have already figured out what this article is about, and if you guessed that it was about short term and long term goals then YOU WERE CORRECT!!! Everyone knows that long term goals are important, if you don’t then leave a comment because you’ll be the only person I’ve met that hasn’t, but I want to start to talk to you about why setting short term goals to reach the long term goals is so important.

I’m Not Following. Give Me An Example!

Alright then! Quite demanding arntcha. Well one of the goals I set myself when I started marketing was that I was going to make $1 million dollars by the time I was 18. A lot of you may laugh, but this is still achievable (hah my turn to laugh :P). But the reason why this is achievable is because I set short term goals to reach the long term goal! Setting a goal to make 1 mil is a great goal to set, but it’s pretty general. How they hell are you going to make the million is the first question I’d ask. Well I’m in the marketing business, so one of the short term goals I set myself was to start getting 10 visitors a day to my website. Obviously it’s not much but it’s a start. Once I achieved this, I moved on to 50, then 100 etc. By doing this, without knowing it, you are actually working towards achieving your long term goal. Are you getting where I’m going with this? Remember to not only set one short term goal to a long term goal, but as many as you see fit. If you aren’t seeing enough progress towards your goal, then you probably aren’t setting enough short term goals.

Okay... Well How Do I Go About Doing This?

That’s a simple question, just think about your long term goal (which you should have written down everywhere to make sure you remember what you’re trying to achieve). Now start thinking about the steps you will need to achieve to get there. Remember you can’t reach your long term goal, until you’ve done all your short term goals, and there should be more than one short term goal before you have should have achieved your long term goal. This breaks down the long term goal into achievable steps. Walah! You’ve just heard how to achieve your goals. I’m a miracle worker I know :P
