Even if you're just starting your eBay business, you need to set some short, intermediate, and long-term goals. A clear set of goals is your blueprint to success. If you are going to make it, you need goals. Make sure you write them down. If you don't write them down, it will be the biggest mistake you will EVER make.
Here are some keys to keep in mind when setting goals. First, your goals should be challenging. Your goals should inspire you and give you the drive to achieve what you can't see right now. Goals need to stretch you and move you outside your comfort zone. At the same time, your goals should be realistic and achievable. The fact is, people with clear written goals in front of them at all times accomplish many times more than someone without any goals. An easy way to remember the proper characteristics of goals is by using the acronym SMART. Goals should be: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely.
Specific goals are goals that are defined clearly and exactly. For example, a vague goal would be "I want to get rich selling on eBay." A specific goal would be "I want to make an extra $3000 passive income a month by selling on eBay." The act of making your goal specific makes it clear in your mind.
Measurable. Having measurable goals means that they have numbers and quantities. Your goal has a quantitative value that you can test against. In the previous example, what made the goal more specific was the measurable dollar figure. You can check your progress against the numbers. Doing this regularly will keep you on track in your journey to creating a successful eBay business.
Attainable. Your goals should be attainable, but just out of reach. They should be possible, but not too easy. Your goals should be inspiring and push you out of your comfort zone to give you a drive and purpose.
Timely. Goals must be written down and they must have a date to them. A goal forgotten is a goal missed. Also, a goal with out a date is just a wish. Once you have spent some time developing thoughtful short, intermediate, and long-term goals, set deadlines on your short-term goals, and create action steps from them. Prioritize the details of your short-term goals, and do not begin working on them until you are fully committed! - 22871
