Creating Those Goals And Following Them

My husband and I are reading the books by Robert G. Allen, Creating Wealth and Multiple Streams Of Income. I have to say  I have read many books and visited many websites on these same subjects, and no one else even comes close to this author. He explains everything in clear details so you can try to do many of his ideas yourself. So many other financial authors tell you things to do but never give you a clear idea of how to do it, unless you buy their program. Robert Allen does have programs he sells but his books are giving us absolutely clear instructions and I really like that. How can someone who can't afford those programs follow someone's advice if it is hidden in some expensive program? Sometimes it is all you can do to afford the books! And what a disappoint the book is if you buy it hoping the advice is in there but find it is not. That is a rip off in my mind!

Anyway, we are working on implementing the "ten streams of income" into our life. I had written before in a previous post, Welcome To Little Steps, which was my very first post on this blog. I mentioned eight streams of income, but now that I am reading this book my ideas have changed. One of the most important things I have learned from Mr. Allen is that you have to concentrate on one thing as much as possible to get it going, before going on to the next. In my own case, I have an  online retail store which is already producing an income. It needs more work, but it is already working. I also have three eBooks, and my husband's music cd, Classic Fantasy, which are already producing some income, but need more work there too. I am updating one of my eBooks, and  as soon as I am finished with that one will be updating another one.

So those are two streams of income I am working on at the moment. It helps when your spouse is really into doing this also, that way you can work with him or her. We read these books at night together. I read them aloud and since we do not have a television it has become our focus in the evenings. We look forward to it.

If you have ideas of what you want to do the first thing would be to write them down. Make a map of where you want to be in 10 years from now. It does not matter how old or young you are..........you can do this at any age! So re-read some of posts on here where I touch on the subject of goals. Robert Allen agrees that your goals need to be written down and you need to read them daily. So that is a good place to start if you haven't done it already. Good luck and hope you come back and are ready to move on with me!

Goal #2 Is Organization!

Organizing starts with your computer!

I have made a change today. I had signed up for a MLM opportunity. I am not saying it is a bad opportunity or a good one. I canceled my account because it is not for me. MLM is just something I am not comfortable doing. It is for people who like to work as a team. I do not. Working alone or with just my husband is what I like to do. I think I can do other things I have in the works better. Since they are already started, it would seem that is the best way to go for me. Like I said, I am not putting MLM down it is just not my thing.

What I am doing though is working on my organization. Organizing your business, your office, your home is all part of success. I have been working on it for months now. I keep having to add more things to my list, as I keep thinking I almost at the end of the list and then ten more things get added to it.

So for me Goal #2 is Organization

Little Step #1 - Make a list of what needs organizing and put up a big calendar.

Little Step #2 - Business paperwork - such as taxes, permits, licenses, bank accounts, financials, legal, etc.

Little Step #2 - Organize your home office, your brief case, your Rolodex, etc.

Little Step #3 - Organize your home - get rid of clutter, papers, old magazines, old anything..........get rid of it!

Little Step #4 - Organize you vehicle - make sure your registration, insurance, anything you need is in it.

Little Step # 5 - Organize your purse, wallet and address book.

Little Step #6 - Organize that big calendar - make sure every date, bill or important note is on it.

I'd say that is a good start. I will probably think of more steps under this goal. You cannot be successful if you are not organized. My sister-in-law is the most organized woman or person I know! She always knows what she is doing at any given time. She can plan weddings, showers, family reunions, or anything, and makes them spectacular. She always sends out cards on birthdays, anniversaries or any occasion that warrants it . She is very loving and everyone who knows her loves her immediately. So because she is organized, it does not make her hard to get along with. I'd have to say, even though she is not a business woman, she is the person I look up to the most in this respect.
