Setting Goals – Keep it Simple and Achievable!

Posted by Jane Woolsey on January 4, 2011

My favourite goal is a daily goal! Complete a minimum of two income producing activities every day. These activities can be a phone call or email to a potential new client, posting a blog, submitting a proposal, joining a network group, asking for a referral, offering a new product for sale, writing a newsletter or article or working with a client. Share your ideas for simple goals.
