The year hasn’t ended and it’s still time to set and accomplish goals.

My goal? Make my new pen name successful enough to become a full-time writer by the end of the summer.

Plan? I have a specific daily writing goal and a publishing schedule from June through December 2018.

Am I Working? Absolutely. I’m ahead of schedule in my writing. Plus, I’ve met financial goals in order to prepare me for the future I see for myself as an authorpreneur.

Can I Stick To It? If I keep the goal front and center. My ‘why’ has to continue to be big enough to keep me moving forward, and I have to keep moving to maintain momentum.

When Will I Reach the Goal? Hopefully in the next few months.

If you don’t make a plan you plan to fail. Not just in writing but in life. Do you have any goals? Make sure to make them S.M.A.R.T.

S = Specific (Earning enough income to support me by the end of the summer-date is written down)

M = Measurable (# of words I need written and # number of books published and when)

A = Action-Oriented (I have to write to make it happen)

R = Relevant (It’s one of the very few things I see as a vocation)

T = Time-Bound (Countdown clock has started and I’m on schedule)
