A few weeks ago I contemplated the idea of making $1 million in 5 years. At the time, this seemed like a crazy goal. In a lot of ways it still does – but now that it’s digested and I’ve started to generated some support, it’s starting to feel doable.
Progress this Month
I’ve come a long way this month. I’ve stopped accepting low pay for my work. I drafted up a business plan for both my writing and my internet marketing pursuits. In it, I promised to find ways to make money writing while still doing things I enjoy (something that I had gotten away from over the past few days) and to work on building up my websites and blogs using the techniques outlined in all of those internet marketing products I’ve purchased.
Learning to Let Go
Another key success of this month is that I’ve let projects go that haven’t been fulfilling. There was a time when the majority of my business focused on working for clients. Well, the majority income has come from a different source this month – one that I find enjoyable and fulfilling. It has hardly felt like work at all. And, I am making more money this month that I ever have. I increased my income from last month by around $1000 dollars.
What Will it Really Take to Reach My Goals?
So, I’ve declared that I will make $1 million dollars in five years. That means that I need to make around $84000 per month in order to pull that off. Increasing my earnings for this month is a great start. I need to keep up the momentum into December and the New year in order to reach my goal. If I increase my income by $500 every month for the next five years, or even by $1000 every month for the next five years, I won’t make my goal. But that is still a very substantial amount of money.
To make money online, I understand that I will get better at it as time goes on. If I work hard and stay focused I am quite sure I will actually reach my goal. I can crunch numbers all I want. But the end result is what will really matter.
