Wow! That is a long list of goals for one year!

Here is where I stand on those goals.

#1. Earn $3000 average. My PROFIT for Jan 2005 was over $6,000. #4. I try to write 2 articles every day promoting a product. #5. I have created an ebook available at http://www.internet-cash-system.com #6. I have started teaching my friends and family what I do. #7. I have created an affiliate directory at http://www.affiliate-directory.us #8. I have created an affiliate program using Clickbank for my ebook. #10. I learned tax laws and statues I needed to do my own 2004 taxes.

So, as you can see, I am making great progress already.

Now, you may ask why have all these goals? The answer is simple. I think that goals equal success. Goals give us something to strive for and reinforce our belief we can reach those goals. A few years ago, I never dreamed I would making kind of money I do today. Now, I plan on evaluating my goals every six months, and making changes as needed.
