Why do you want repparttar 123150 business you want? How much money do you want to make? What GOOD will you do with your financial success? How will you give back to your ommunity? What is your business mission statement? Make a list of business and personal goals and specify dates by which you intend to reach each goal. Post your goals where you can see them everyday (i.e. on repparttar 123151 refrigerator, bathroom mirror, your bedroom door, repparttar 123152 dashboard of your car, on your desk).
