     accomplishing more in less time than before you started
     setting goals.

 o Set productivity goals to keep yourself on track and make

     sure you are doing what you need to do to be a success.

 o Set production goals (total units sold or gross sales as a

     dollar amount) as benchmarks to measure your success.

 o Set deadlines to limit the amount of time you have to achieve

     each goal. Open-ended goals are nothing more than
     pipedreams.

 o Break your goals into milestones to make them less

     overwhelming.
  o Reward yourself to make achieving your goals more

     worthwhile and to give yourself something meaningful to
     work for.

 o Create a goal/reward collage to constantly remind yourself

     of what you are working for.

 o Share your goals with others who support your efforts.
 o Consider rewarding yourself in advance and then working

     hard to pay for your reward.
