Have You Got A 2008 Mission Statement?
Jan 2nd, 2008 by admin
Well 2008 is well and truly upon us, happy new year to everyone. I’ve made time to think about what I want to achieve in 2008, have you? One thing I think is really important is to pull all of your goals and objectives into an overriding mission statement.
Your mission statement serves several purposes. Firstly it should keep you keenly focused on what you’re trying to achieve, and secondly it should be used as a mantra for you to repeat regularly to yourself to re-enforce your inner belief that you can achieve the goals you’re setting yourself.
Your mission statement should re-enforce:
- What you want to achieve
- Your timeline for success
- How you’re going to do it
For example, here’s my mission statement for 2008:
To build a list of 100,000 subscribers within 12 months using the traffic & list building methods I’ve already learnt!
Its straight forward and clearly defined, it will keep me focused on my prime task through 2008, that of list building. If there is one thing above all else that I discovered in 2007, it’s the value of owning your own list or lists, and it’s the one thing I did poorly.
2008 will be different, list building will be my prime goal. I know that if I own a list of 100,000 email addresses by the end of 2008, I’ll be well on my way to achieving my overall goal of earning $1 million by my 40th birthday!
I’ve put together a detailed list building plan that I’ll be sharing with my readers and current list members for FREE in the next couple of weeks, I genuinely believe it will be one of the best free resources available on the web today.
I’ll be repeating my mission statement to myself every single day. I firmly believe that I will achieve it. Everything I do online will be in support of my 2008 Mission Statement.
So what’s your mission in 2008? Once you know what your life goals are, work how far you can go in 2008 to achieving those goals and formulate a statement around that achievement. Once you have your statement, read it and repeat it every day! It will keep you focused so that you don’t stray off track, which is so easy to do with all the distractions we get every day.
I strongly recommend you keep an eye on my blog over the next few days and get yourself a copy of my free list building ebook that I’ll be making available shortly, I’m sure you’ll be blown away by it and you’ll see why I believe my mission is so achievable!
Here’s to a successful 2008 for all of us!
