Goal Setting Plan
Create your own road map to success.

Statistics show that very few people – some researchers say less than 3% of business people in the United States, have created a goal setting plan – but the ones that have, are usually the most successful.

Goal setting is like preparing a road map – a guide to show you where your going and if you’re planning to create a retirement job – be it a website or some other home based business – it’s imperative that you have such a blueprint.

Learn more goal setting techniques from this video featuring popular speaker and workshop leader Alicia Marie.

On the Wikipedia page dealing with goal setting theory it’s noted:

“For goals to increase performance, it is imperative that they are difficult and specific.
Performance tends to be lower with easily attained goals than with more difficult goals.
A vague goal is not likely to enhance performance.”

To develop an effective goal setting plan:

• State your goal in clear and understandable language – don’t be vague – but make it achievable.

• Make you goal as challenging as possible so as to maintain interest and not be bored.

• List possible obstacles, solutions and action steps that will help you reach your goal – what information will you need – how much research will be required?

• Include all your concerns and fears and list possible sources of assistance needed to help you overcome such worries.

• Put your plan on paper and get into action.

As this website is centered on building a creative retirement job online or offline – either during retirement or before retirement – we’ll aim our goal setting plan at that target-

First consideration is to center on retirement job possibilities based on what truly interests you – that you're passionate about.

We all know something about something – sell your experience and expertise – a hobby perhaps offering a product to sell or a “How to” guide – maybe you want to promote someone elses product or services via affiliations – the opportunities are unlimited and when it comes to the internet it’s not only the written word but digital – video, DVD, CD’s.

If you plan to build a website, list what research will be need according to your computer skills.
In my case, I knew little about Ecommerce and absolutely nothing about building a website – fortunately, a chance comment in an email message sent me Site Build It that supplied all the information I needed as well as providing all the intricate techie duties – all I had to provide was the creative part.

In that regard, take a moment to view this video:

Another important listing in any goal setting plan is to place - in an appropriate position - the main purpose of your endeavour – example, for many people, the possibility of banking extra retirement income may be the objective – for others - extra money to pay for that special trip you always dreamed of – paying the monthly car payments – the list goes on and on.

Another key addition to any retirement job goal setting plan is to add - Visualization - a picture that represent the goals you are planning to achieve - visualization is a great opportunity to make the process fun and to be creative!

Also add inspirational quotes for extra motivation.

Goal Setting Plan Quotations:

Remember that any goal setting plan is just that – a plan – unless there’s dedicated follow through with long term action it remains nothing more than scribbled words on a piece of paper.
