10 DEAN GRAZIOSI
and you know what pace is a realistic pace for you. There will be some days where you need to push yourself and others where you have to go at a slower pace. Your “ why ” will drive you to the finish line, and if you do at least one thing each day, you will be closer to your goals and that first deal! At the end of the day, if it took you 60 days to accomplish your first deal and show you that this is possible, would that really be a long time? Heck no! Your goal could then be to do your next deal in 60 days or less. The first deal can sometimes be the most difficult. What the heck does”incremental” mean? That goal for being a millionaire in five years may actually be a good one if there are incremental goals along the way. This means setting smaller goals that you can accomplish each month or each week that leads to your bigger, overall goal. Setting a goal for making the first $100,000 in net worth growth the first year may be a start. This $100,000 breaks down to $8,334 per month or $1,924 per week or just $274 per day. Could you do one or two deals a month and make $8,334? You bet you can! Then setting another net worth goal for each of the years between one and five could be a plan. Then even shorter goals as to how you’re going to make that money will be there, as well. The other reason for these smaller, incremental goals has to do with human nature and your mindset. You can easily become overwhelmed and discouraged when working toward a large goal that’s far out in time. We all do; it’s just human nature. Setting short-term goals along the way that are within reach will give you a chance to experience success along the way. As you experience success, you should do small things to celebrate your success, whether it be a night out on the town or a tasty RULE #2: Goals must be incremental and on a realistic schedule.
