Setting daily goals

I’ve recently begun challenging myself to meet minimum income goals for the day.  Most days I keep these pretty mild, say $60.00 per day.  It doesn’t sound like much, but if you add that up over a 5 day work week you get $300.00, or $1,200.00 per month.  Not great as a primary incoms source, but nothing to be scoffed at as a supplimental income. I’ve had mixed success with this so far, but I usually come pretty close to the mark.

Yesterday I started the day with a few great opportunities presented to me.  I could see that making $60.00 would be pretty simple, so i raised the bar on myself and shot for $100.00 in earnings for the day.  Not only did I make it, I exceeded it by $21.00.  I’m not saying that everyone can make that amount of money in a single day, but it’s worth setting a goal that’s achievable and then going for it.  If you don’t make it today, shoot for it again tomorrow.

The key though here is that making money takes work.  There is no get rich quick scheme, there is no magic bullet.  Follow your passions and the effort you put out may not feel like work, but the rewards will follow because the effort was there.

Today’s goal is set at $100.00 as well. I just need to see if I can pull it off twice in a row.  I’ll let you all know how I did tomorrow.
