My motivation is to have a clean sheet every evening, in other words if a job is due on a certain day, that job has to be done , so when i look at george in the evening, the not done entry reads 0 or very close to zero.
If you are not keeping on top of your round then maybe you should look for a part timer, whats the point of having x amount of work if you cant service it on time.
a couple of years back a guy called Paul C Smith asked what was your goal for the year ahead and it got me thinking that i didnt have any(only to get rich one day) so got me thinking i had better have a goal, best thing i ever did.
At the time i set the goal of having predicted income of an extra £18k by the end of the 12 months , anyhow i think i achieved that within 6, so set my self another for another £15k , all in all since setting goals in the last 18 months i have an income forecast of over double of what it at was at the time of setting that first goal.
In the last 3 months my income forcast has gone up by £20k, I wont divulge how this has happened but will only say without goals, your motivation will suffer.
My next goal is to get another £30k of new work by April 5th 2008, i am 100% sure i can achieve this amount, I have not worked out my strategy yet , but more of the same as the last goals.
why April 5th , well that is my tax year end, nothing other than that it is a significant date rather than a date just plucked out of the air.
So a big thanks to Paul c Smith i owe you a bottle of red if you are reading this.
Does anybody here set goals too ?
