Jeff (the gentle, kind soul that he is) pointed out that fact to me recently during a conversation on future goals, amazing plans, business ventures and ultimate world domination involving oceanfront property, beach houses and frosty daiquiris sipped to soft jazz playing in the backgr-… Sorry.

I took a break and made some food and thought about getting started on that new project. Now imagine this one: “I got up and immediately sat down and wrote down a bunch of new ideas that I had for that project. Two hours of work, and then you can get moving on that awesome new project that’s going to make you rich and famous.

Learning how to learn was my goal. Deadlines seem to be my best motivator and with a self-imposed structure, I’m not sure self-education would force itself into my schedule in the way that projects with due dates do. I am 100% on board with creating your own courses and creating your own ‘class projects.’

While total writers’ block may be a reality for some individuals, for most of us we’re just stuck on a particular project. Having accountability in that way can definitely help drive us towards our goals. If you write for a living, you may well end up writing on projects that aren’t exactly thrilling to you.

In a recent conversation, a writer told me that he hates projects about things that don’t interest him. Be willing to change your copy to meet a goal. Sometimes I write a post weeks before I post it, but when I re-read it I find its not achieving the goal I want. This often happens when the project lacks a real strategy.

that have helped me be more successful in reaching my goals each time I worked with a freelancer. And for the freelancer, a clear statement of the project that includes understandable objectives, requirements and specific deliverables, helps focus his time and resources on the task at hand, instead of trying to figure out what you need.

Here’s a thought: What if that dropping readership, that dwindling traffic and that lack of discussion lets you invest your time in better projects, ones that help you get closer to your goals? Think hard about whether blogging as you are now is helping you reach your goals. Ask yourself how it’s working out for you.

It’s to get you new clients, new projects, new referrals and better success – quickly. If you really can’t afford to hire a consultant right now, then make it a goal to be able to afford it soon. Start setting aside 10% of your earnings from every project you work on. It’s called making an investment. Then hire one.

Then, your only goal is to finish that small section. I did NaNo in 2007, thinking of doing it again this year, depending what stage my other writing projects are at.

Like money or happiness, success is not the goal. It’s the byproduct of other, far more worthy goals. Brian Tracey says happiness is not a goal itself. Because success is the byproduct of reaching the goals that we are thinking about and trying to accomplish. Success is a goal, but so are various levels of success.
