I remember how hard it was at first, and even now sometimes, to manage my time. Specific performance goals really help me plan out my day: I have a strong reason to get things done and see progress. It's like Lou Holtz said: <blockquote>If you don't wake up every morning with a burning desire to do things, you don't have enough goals.</blockquote> Keep the questions coming and don't over-think things :) Talk to you soon!

I need to be more specific in setting my sales goals. Right now I am still learning of the time commitment and how much I can reasonably devote to my site. I will do better at setting more specific goals. Goals are great. I need to be more specific in setting my sales goals.

How hungry are you to succeed? Why do want to succeed? Where are you on the Hunger Scale? As Gary mentioned he doesn't rely on his new business to pay the bills and have food on the table, if he was reliant on it his hunger factor would be higher. I should mention that I'm in the same position, however our income barely covers the bills and we have a number of loans. I'm determined to create an income that will give us the freedom to make different lifestyle choices. If our current income was larger would I be as driven? Probably not! Hi Nate

As soon as we take that first leap of faith though, often times there's no turning back. Gary, I agree that having a 9-5 job, or in your case, a whenever and wherever to whenever and wherever flight, can be tough while you're trying to start a new business. It's hard to find a balance. What I found is that as long as I was doing at least one small thing per day on my online business, I felt I was making progress. Some days I did a ton, other days, just a little. But, as I've said a hundred times, "Small Success leads to Big Success!" Keep on plugging (and flying) away! Just ask Cassie, eventually things start picking up even faster than you're expecting.
