It s also good to know exactly why you want something and what your goal is.

For example, if you want to be down to 10 hours per week while still making more than your current job, put that! 4. What would you like your monthly income to be at the end of the first year in business? 5. Design your business based on the lifestyle you want

4 Do you want employees? Would you rather have virtual assistants? Do you want an office? Do you want a home office? Do you want only digitally delivered products? Do you want physical products that you ship? Will you fulfill and ship them yourself or use a fulfillment company? Or do you want both? 6. The Million Dollar Question If you had a million dollars in the bank tomorrow, how would your life change? What would you do differently in life? What are three things you would buy in the next year? What are three things you would want to accomplish in the next year? This helps you decide what kinds of activities you want to work towards as you make more money and free up more time. 7. What is the first thing you would like to pay for with your internet business? Examples: A family vacation A new house Private schooling for your kids Eat out more often

5 8. What are three things that you want to do before you die? Imagine that you know you re reaching the end of your life. What are three things that you would be sad to realize that you didn t do and wished you had? It s good to have a specific idea of what you are working for. You want rewards to look forward to. Simply telling yourself that you will make more money is not sufficient. These are just a few questions to get yourself to think about really setting up your mindset to know what the target and goal is for doing an internet business.
