Confessions of A Small Thinker…

My daughter is NOT a small thinker...

Jarod Lam wrote a very interesting guest post on the Internet Marketing Sweetie Blog on thinking big in your business.  I must admit I am pretty much a small thinker when it comes to my business.  OK, not *that* small — I did work in Washington DC for 10 years where I made a pretty decent salary for my PR work.  But, my goals, up to this point, have been fairly modest, I want to make what I was making in DC, working part-time and have enough money to send my daughter to an awesome public school.  And… so far, I’m on track to meet the goal.

A few weeks ago, I was at the Send Out Cards convention.  As part of the training,  we were sharing our “I AM” goals.  I was amazed at the hugeness of some people’s goals.  People wanted 7 figure *monthly* incomes,  to advance 3 ranks in Send Out Cards, etc.  I was sort of ambivalent about these kinds of goals.  On the one hand, if you don’t shoot high, you won’t get there… and as Jarod says in his post… even if you make a smaller percentage of the goal (10% of 1,000,000) vs. (50% of 100,000) you’ll come out ahead.  But, there was some little part of me that says — “realistic” goals are key.

Thinking about it a little more …. you define your own reality — so why not think big?   The only limits are your mindset.  So, now I’m going to have to re-do my goals card (see above — I love al lthe things you can do with Send Out Cards…) to include more free time, more money and a bigger business.  Anyone else care to take this leap with me?   Here’s to our *seven* figure incomes, great vacations and newly found free time
