How To Make Money - What Are You Really Looking For?

I think that most people would agree that the people who have goals have more success in teaching themselves how to make money than those who play the weekly lottery and hope that money will find them. Now your task is determining which one of these people you want to be. If you want to set goals and not just rely on blind faith, keep reading. However, I must tell you that you may be surprised as to what your real goals are.

To make money, you need to set goals. Setting goals requires two thing: i) leadership; and ii) management. The former includes completing the right tasks, while the latter involves completing tasks correctly. What usually happens when we analyze time management is that we pay attention to doing things correctly, but assume that we are doing the right tasks. Not surprisingly, much of the time we are not doing the right task.

Due to the fact that you have come across this article, I will conclude that you want to learn how to make money. This desire to make money most likely stems from a desire to be happy with your circumstance. Since this has been established, the next step is working on your goals. I have devised the following four step process which I highly recommend that you adopt when setting your goals.

Step 1

Get a blank piece of paper. At the top of the paper, write down the title "values". For the next fifteen minutes, I want you to write down everything in this world which you value. If having money is one of your values, do not shy away from writing this down.

Step 2

On the top of a separate blank piece of paper, write down "lifetime goals". Here you are encouraged to think big. For instance, where would you like to live? Which places would you visit, if money and time were not an object? What do you want to make sure that you experience in your lifetime? Is your lifetime goal to teach yourself how to make money? There are no limitations here. Write all of your lifetime goals down.

Step 3

On the top of a separate blank piece of paper, write down what you would do if you only had six months to live. Do not take this lightly, as some of us may only have six months to live, but do not know it yet. I have lost some friends who appeared to be completely healthy six month prior to their deaths. Therefore, you should list every single thing that you would do if you only had six months to live.

The purpose of this step is to put a focus on what is truly important in your life. Often times when I conduct this exercise, I find myself listing things which are not in my lifetime goals.

Step 4

On the top of a separate blank piece of paper, write down your goals for this year. After doing the first three steps, you will find this step much easier than the others. These are the goals to focus on right now.

The purpose of this exercise was to illustrate to your what is truly important in your life. Often times we think that if we can just figure out how to make money, then everything else will fall into place, and we will be happy. It is not this simple. Yes, you can argue that those are have a greater aptitude for goals setting are going to have an easier time learning how to do the right things to make money. However, this does not necessarily mean that they are doing the right things to make their lives better.
