We are nearing the end of 2009 and it is a time to set goals again. I remember I read somewhere that by setting goals, you put yourself in the top 10% among people. And by taking action towards your goals, you are in the top 1%. I used to think setting goals is futile and not helpful at all. If you do not find it helpful too, it is likely that the goals are not inspiring to you. To me, goals are sources of inspirations and are are supposed to give you the drive to work towards them. If this is the case, how do you set inspiring goals?
The key is to find out what you really want. You will be surprised that most people do not know what they really want (Napoleon Hill says a good 95% of the people) and they do not bother to find out. Setting goals forces you to calm yourself and clear away the day to day distractions, and make you really focus on yourself and think about the future. You gain the clarity once the mist is gone, which you start to think and feel what are the thoughts that resonate in you most. Explore in these directions and eventually convert them to quantifiable goals. Try it! This alone puts you in the top 10%!
It has been quite a journey so far and it is only a year plus that I started trading. I intend to review my performance for this year in a separate post after 2009 draws to an end. Here, I will only share the goals I have set for trading in 2010.
Trading Goals 2010:
1) I am making an average profit of S$2,000 per month from trading stocks.
2) I am making an average profit of S$200 per month from trading FOREX.
