Let me ask you a question – what business are you in?

Don’t know what business you are in?

It’s an interesting question that I often ask my coaching clients. In fact just the other day I was doing some internet marketing coaching in an informal skype chat. I asked my online friend how they were.  They told me ok, but like so many were struggling a little financially.

My friend works online.  I say he works, not necessarily makes money, but works.  So I asked him what business was he in, who were his customers and exactly what he was selling.

Write it and Achieve it

There´s no doubt about it, talking is great but talking may not get you closer to your goals.  Sure you can talk about your goals, but writing them down makes them more real and concrete. So the first thing you must do, and I have said this before, is to write down your goals, dreams and aspirations.   Look at them on paper and then ask yourself is that what you really want? Is this something that I can achieve?  If your gut feeling is no, well then perhaps you need to re think your goals.

Using visualisation to achieve your goals

It’s really important to be able to have a visual reminder of your goal. In fact when I teach people goal setting I ask them to really visualise what it will be like when they achieve the goal.  I also ask them to make sure that they create a dreamboard so they can have a visual reminder each day about their goals.
