Internet Business Marketing Ideas for Small Businesses

Yesterday we looked at “Achieving Measurable Goals“. Today we are going to discuss the best way to set goals.

Here are two quick tips on how to set goals that you will be able to achieve and leap frog past.

1. The 10% rule

Your first goal should be 10% of what you think you can actually achieve. For example, if you are an online marketer and you want to make $2000 next month, take 10% of that number and set your goal at $200.

2. Add 10%

Everyone is different and everyone wants stats at different intervals. Many corporations look at yearly earnings in a yearly board meeting.

Personally yearly is too long of a time to stay motivated by my goals. I set monthly goals.

Since you set your original goal at 10% of what you thought you could achieve, the next month you want to increase that number by 10%.

Assuming you reach your goal the second month, add 10% to it. Your second month goal would be $220.

Setting goals using the 10% method will help you achieve your goals and stay motivated in the process.
