Setting goals is crucial to ultimately achieving success. The majority of people still don’t seem to really get this, so I would like to elaborate just a little, if I may. We have probably all heard the saying “how do you know you are there, if you didn’t know where you wanted to go?” Yes, it might sound a little silly but if you are honest with yourself, you will realize that there is a wealth of truth in that statement.

I have been retired from full-time employment for many years now. In the past I was District Manager for Health & Welfare Canada. A lot of responsibility went along with the job but I had no computer skills as my staff would take care of those things for me. Just this past November, 2008, I decided that I was going to fulfill a dream of mine to run my own internet marketing business. I knew next to nothing about the industry but I was determined to learn what I needed to know. After doing a fair amount of research, I aligned myself with Carbon Copy Pro. I was very impressed with this Company because they offered a complete marketing system that helped solve all the problems that most people face in a home-based business. They also provided all the necessary tools for success. I could hardly believe it, but they actually also closed the deals for you!!

I happened to watch a video of their 2008 Convention where they were offering a program called the 2009 Carbon Copy Pro 90 Day Challenge. I was able to sign up for this program and last night (February 23, 2009) was the last webinar of the series. One of the instructors suggested that we record our progress that we had experienced during the 90 pay period. This got me thinking of where I am today compared to where I was when it all began. At the beginning I had never written an article, let along had one published, I had never produced a video or even been in one, I had never had my own blog, or a Facebook or a Twitter account….in fact I didn’t know what a number of these things actually were.

So what have I managed to accomplish during this period of time? Well, I have learned something about writing articles and I have actually written 20 of them and have had them all published with EzineArticles. That alone would have made me deliriously happy…but I also managed to get all 20 articles on the first page of Google and some were even in the very first position.

I then purchased a little webcam and threw myself into making videos. I now have 26 videos uploaded to YouTube and I have 37 people actually subscribing to my YouTube channel, so that they can be informed whenever I produce a new video. People are leaving me very complimentary comments and thanking me for helping them with their business.

I had a Wordpress.com blog that I have now transferred over to a Wordpress.org blog so that I can host it myself. I have started to learn the ins and outs of blogging and am also learning to create my own capture pages. I posted my first Press Release a month or so ago and will be posting another one this week. I have 567 followers on Twitter and 685 on Facebook and have developed some great relationships by networking with these people.

In retrospect, I realize that I have accomplished a great deal during the last 90 days, but this is only the beginning.

No doubt you have all heard someone say “if I can do it, then anyone can”. Sometimes we think, “Oh Yeh! Sure!” Well, I am a 65 year old, retired woman, with no previous computer or marketing skills. So I do feel confident in saying “if I can do it, you can too”. If you have the desire to achieve your goals, then believe me, nothing can or will stop you from doing just that. The right information or the right person will appear just at the right time to move you ahead toward achieving your goal, as long as you give it your best and you never, never give up. There is no better time to succeed than right now. There are going to be millions of new millionaires created in the next ten years and there is no reason why you and I cannot be two of them. I plan on being one of them, do you?

One final word if I may….if you ever have the chance to sign up for the next 2009 Carbon Copy Pro 90 Day Challenge, then don’t hesitate for a moment. The training you will receive will be priceless.
