Tips for setting realistic goals for your home business

Goals Plus Vision Equals Home Business Success

I have a confession to make: I did not join Success University for the outstanding residual income program it offers. When I made a decision to start my own home business, my intention was not to replace my regular job, it was just to supplement it. Like so many people, I had successfully scraped by for over 20 years while raising my three children. We have never had any real luxuries, but I was able to provide a stable home, food on the table and even an occasion budget vacation. In fact, two of my children were already through college, and one of them had a beautiful wedding last year, complete with most of the nice trimmings.

Fortunately, I had no plans at all of every retiring because there is nothing left over. I am very happy to have been able to provide all of these things, but nowhere in my vision was there any allowance for then being able to enjoy my life once my nest began to empty. Being fairly young when I jumped into parenthood, until my grandson came along and my own mother moved out of our childhood home and into a senior living facility, I really did not give a whole lot of consideration into needing just as much money when I reached this new stage of my life at a fairly young age. No plans had been made for my childrens' or my grandchildrens' inheritance.

Now that I no longer have to attend daily practices and sporting events and parent-teacher conferences, I have extra time on my hands. And so, much too late, I begin my journey of making and saving the income for what I will survive on with the bleak prospects of Social Security in our country, and what I would like to pass down to my family when I leave this world. My internet marketing carer was born.

Sure, you can run a minimally successful business from your home on a part-time basis. But with my extremely limited knowledge of the internet marketing world and affiliate programs, I found myself spending endless hours on my home computer searching for answers and devouring an enormous supply of e-books trying to understand just how to make this dream of a successful, legitimate home internet business a reality. Thank goodness that I was introduced to Success University, one of the income streams recommended through the Plug-in-Profit system. My entire education in one place - who could ask for more?
So each month I eagerly await Matt Morris' newsletter. He is the the founder of Success University, and last month he wrote something about "goals"
