I’d totally forgotten about 43things.com. Some of those goals are hilarious! Do you have a coach you’re accountable to? Sounds like a plan.

Thanks for dropping by.

Matt

By going there, it’s actually interesting to see what some people’s goals are. Can you believe that some people actually have “wake up when my alarm clock goes off” or “have someone paint me” as their goals?

Still second best to having an actual accountability coach who will give you a hard time if you’re not hitting your goals though!

Thanks,

Wayne

I know I’m terrible! Lol. I don’t claim to know all the answers, I just share what I have learned and what I am applying myself. I think this would be great for you to do (the statement).

Re: The magic, if you want to move away from that, that is all cool! I totally get what you are doing. I’d love to hear more about your acting plans. I always say to people if they have a passion or know something really well, it’s easier to create an info product and build a list based around that and also quicker to turn around. With Internet Marketing, people always go for the IM niche because it’s in mass demand, but there is always mass competition too and products being released left right and centre. But if you are passionate about it, stand out and provide true value (like you) then you will do awesome. I can’t wait to see more of your journey!

Keep doing your stuff Matt!

Big love

P.S My son is interested in acting, can you recommend a good place for him to get started at all?

At this rate, I won’t need to write my blog anymore… I can just outsource to you Carly. I’ll just give you the subject matter and away you go!

On a slightly more serious note, thank you. You make a very good point indeed which I didn’t include in my original post. I didn’t target the exact time that I will manifest these things in my life. Silly really, as the goals I have on my wall next to my desk are very specific.

Congratulations on setting such a great goal for yourself. I love how precise it is, both in terms of dates and actions.

The problem I have is that I set these goals for the very near future, then get disappointed if I don’t reach them. If I do reach them, I’ve done it under massive pressure of my own creation.

I will sit down tonight and write my goal in the present tense, and then make it a fact in my mind. Really like that exercise and the idea of my subconscious working on it as if it were already true. Which it of course, it is .

Thank you for sharing this, not only with me but with my readers (817 unique ones in the last 30 days and rising!).

Matt

P.S: Yeah, the idea of a magic product has crossed my mind. The thing I keep putting in the way of making it happen is that a couple of other guys have done it VERY well already. I guess subconsciously I think that there isn’t enough room in the market, which of course, then makes that my reality. I also want to move away from magic as I want to focus on my acting dream and creating a great business that funds that. Does that make sense?

I really love your dream and goal and, as you know I want to be there at BAFTA when you’re screening it. Carly’s made a very good point though. When will all that wonderful happiness happen?

Let’s set some deadlines and turn the dreams into goals.

Matt

What an awesome post. You should be worried now as here I come with a big essay! Lol.

Firstly, I have some advice (this comes from life coaching). Please change your statement below, to the one below that.

“I will create an online business that will earn me at least £10,000 (around $15,000) per month, every month. It may take me a year to do it but I will do it. When I’ve reached that stage, I will channel my efforts into the fulfilment of my dreams and goals. I will be on stage at The National Theatre in London in five years time and this business will help get me there financially, paying for all the headshots, Spotlight Directory listings and all the shows I want to be a part of.”

To this:

I have an online business (add in specifically what it is, a product, an ebook, a a membership site?)that earns me £10,000 (around $15,000) per month, every month on August 11th 2011. I will channel 100% effort into acheiving my dreams and goals. I am on stage at The National Theatre in London in August 2016 and my internet business will pay for this. Please make this happen in ways that are for the highest good of me and of all concerned. (also add in how this makes you feel).

Through coaching it is essential to put your goal into the present tense with clear and precise instructions. I’d love you to write this statement by hand, (tweak it if you like) and read it back to yourself until you are completely happy with what has been written. Their must be no inner conflict when you read it. If there is, change it until you feel completely 100% happy with the statement. Once you have your statement (and it is written down by hand) read it back to yourself 100 times until your subconscious mind takes it in as FACT. Read it every day without fail. Keep it next to your computer.

You asked for my goal, so here it is (this is just a money goal):

I earn £12,000 net profit after tax each and every month on April 8th 2011.

We have 20 clients in Social Media Managers all paying £400 a month. The work is outsourced to members in our social diva membership. I take £100 a month cut. Which leaves me with £2660 before tax.
There are 1000 members in Social Diva Marketing all paying £29.97 a month which leaves me with £9990 (after dividing by 3 with my business partners). On December 15th 2010 I have 5 coaching clients every month who pay me £300 each. This makes me £1500. Altogether I earn £14,150 before tax so £12,000 after tax. On July 25th 2012 I own a winebago and am going travelling around Europe for one year. I am focused, my emotions are balanced and I have time freedom with my family. Please make this happen in ways that are for the highest good of me and of all concerned.

Hope this helps Matt

P.S maybe I got the tax slightly wrong but it doesn’t matter! Lol.
