The main purpose of the 280 challenge is to realize that setting a GOAL is hand’s down, the BEST WAY to accomplish ANYTHING.

Is GOAL a 4 letter word to you?

It shouldn’t be. Think of a goal as an ideal. If you reach it, great. If you don’t, then every step you took in the direction of your goal is still a benefit to you, right?

Another aspect of goal setting is really visualizing yourself achieving it. That’s what we are going to work on today.

Set a goal today. Leave it as a reply for me. Put it in writing. I DARE YOU!!

In February, I will list _________________ items with my storks. When I do that, I will _____________________.

The first blank is for your number of listings. Even one a day is an acceptable goal-so don’t be shy!! The second blank is for what you imagine achieving by doing that. We can’t control if buyer’s purchase anything, so that part of the goal is out of our hands…but it’s always good to put something in writing. I’d love to own a beach house someday. Might never happen financially, but often when I feel like laying in bed longer in the morning I’ll ask myself, “Is laying here how you’re going to get a beach house?” It’s silly, but for me-it works. Examples for the second blank could be:

“pay off my Visa card.”
“put money into savings.”
“buy a new lighting kit.”
“pay for gymnastics class.”
“get a manicure:”

Here’s mine:

In February, I will list 280 items with my storks at a rate of 10 per day. When I do that, I will use the money I make to replace my kitchen floor.

And for extra bonus points (giggle), put your goal in the comments. You will see it every day. And so will everyone else!! Gulp. It’s okay, we can do this together, right?!?!
This is the last motivational 280 blog posting from me. I will continue posting them in the forum, so please join the site and do this challenge with us?
