How to Make Money
Money Plan Lesson two


Setting your goals.

As with all my posts I recommend that you read the lessons in order, so if you haven't done so yet, have a look at lesson one then come back and read this one. If you want to learn how to make money, it's important that you do them in order.



Do you think it's easy to set goals? Well setting goals is pretty easy, reaching your goals that takes some time, and a lot of commitment and hard work.

Get out a piece of paper or a notepad and write these questions down, and read back your answers, be specific, write down what you really want.


Why do you want this money?

What are you planning on doing with it?

How much do you actually want? (put a figure on it, hundreds thousands, millions)

Do you want $10,000 per month? $1,000,000 in the next year or two?

What type of lifestyle do you want to create with this money?


Be specific with your answers, but also be realistic!

Don't expect to have a million dollars overnight, it's not going to happen.


Once you work out your lifestyle that you want to create, and how much money you need to achieve this, the next step is how you're going to create the money in your life.


What are some things that you really are good at? A hobby that you love perhaps?

You might love music, but aren't able to sing or play a note, but still want to be involved in the music field. You do not need to be the center of attention, there are thousands of jobs to do with music, that uses all sorts of skills that you probably have already.

After you work out what you want, make some smaller goals first to reach your ultimate goals. Once again be specific, write down when you want to reach these by, and what is required to get there. Do you need more skills? There are lots of courses available if you wish to increase your education in a certain area.

Research your area of interests, find out what other people have done to get where you want to be, maybe talk to them. find a role model, a mentor. Lots of people will help you out in chosen areas, all you need to do is ask them.

If you are going to totally change your career, make sure you get support from your family, especially anyone you live with, as you don't want any negative attitudes from your husband or wife to cloud your mind, while trying to reach your goals.


If you really want to learn how to make money, you need to know what you want, and why you want it. Make sure you are doing something you enjoy, as you don't want to be doing something that's frustrating and annoying for you.

Write down your goals, and lets continue our path in learning how to make money with personal growth in Lesson three.
