With fried onions and ketchup of course.

I'm only joking. The real question is "How Do You Eat An Elephant?"

One bite at a time.

I don't actually eat elephants. The elephant is a metaphor for big goals. So "How Do You Accomplish Big Goals?"

One bite at a time.

In my last article I asked you to set goals that are big. To reach for stars. But I know sometimes big goals can be overwhelming.

You need to aim for stars and once you've got your goal in place, your next step is to break it down.

Let's set a simple goal to start with. You're bored with nine to five ... you're tired of your boss ... you want to take a year off to enjoy life.

How are we going to break this baby down?

Since our goal is to have enough profits online to take a year off from work and really get this internet puppy going, let's shoot for 24 hours of freedom.

If you divided your yearly expenses by 365 days, what would you need to earn 24 hours of freedom?

Now my motto is: Set it and forget it! (Where have I heard that before?)

It really seemed too simple a solution to solve what had become an overwhelming problem: how to fit all work I have to do, need to do, must do, and wish to do into one twenty-four hour period and still have any time left to do anything halfway resembling "fun." (What's that, anyway?)

But fact of matter is that it IS just that SIMPLE! First, I get all of routine out of way: shower, exercise, grooming, prayer or meditation, breakfast, etc.

Finally at computer, I set timer—usually for half an hour. When it "dings" I get up and maybe transfer some laundry to dryer. (I'm one of those rare and lucky women who is married to an exceptional man who usually at least starts laundry, and on a daily basis, so we never have laundry piled up.)
