All of us know that it is much easier to set goals than it is to actually reach them. In fact, I read one study that people make on average of 75 goals a year and they do not come to fruition. Therefore, the only conclusion that can be reached is not just set our goals but to then literally track them. By tracking them, we will not just forget about them. That makes sense!
However, by consistently tracking your progress, tracking your goals will give you insight into whether you should continue on the same path or change course in order to achieve that desired result.
Only Set Intentional Goals
Thus, the first thing to do is to set a very specific and focused goal. It must be specific and focused in order to actually set a target and to track the results.
General, abstract goals without clear direction or timeline are not likely to get you anywhere. Your goals need to be intentional.
What does it mean to set “intentional” goals?
What are your intentions for setting these goals?
How do you intend to achieve your goals?
Does the intent behind this goal further larger business goals?
Set intentional goals using the SMART format.
SMART refers to goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound.
When you use this methodology for your real estate business, it helps you set a real number to track against and concrete deadlines to hit along the way. A goal of, “generate more listings in my farm area” does not fit the bill, but if you give it the SMART treatment, “generate 15% more listings in my farm area by Q2�� you’re giving yourself additional tangible objectives to work with.
If you are a real estate investor, then how many doors do you want to buy? It could be even to increase the rent per door by $100.00 per month. That makes it smart goal. The rest of the SMART process will work for anyone and for any business.
Only Specific Real Estate Goals
First, state exactly what you are trying to accomplish, and hone in on the daily activity levels that are necessary to accomplish your desired results.
If you’d like to goal yourself at a certain amount of closings this year, this is where you drill down to your daily work to get you there, like how many calls you will make each day in order to generate more leads, more clients, and more opportunities for sales and even more investment purchases.
Only Measurable Real Estate Goals
What gets measured is improved, so here you need to address how your activity levels will be measured. If you’re lucky enough to have a CRM that tracks activities, this can be simple, or perhaps you’re manually going to log how many calls, appointments, etc. you make.
Come up with a specific number that accurately defines your goal. You can use percentages or specific numbers to determine your number.
Only Achievable Real Estate Goals
Idealistic activity levels will not happen, so be sure that while your goals are inspiring you, they are not impossible to achieve. Not only does this go for realistic activity levels, but you also need to take things like past performance, your budget restraints as far as advertising, marketing, etc. and internal resources and manpower available to you into consideration.
Only Time-Bound Real Estate Goals
This is probably one of the more dire components. If you have effectively set a measurable goal, it must include a period. Do not be too harsh or too lenient with this. Take an audit of past data and insights into your marketing strategy, and incorporate those results into your plan.
Time To Get To Work
In order for you to succeed at finding and marketing great real estate deals, you have to be accountable for your efforts. Since you may not have a partner to keep you on track, we have designed a log to help you. Make copies of this log and fill it out each week. Track your week-to-week business to see your strengths and weaknesses. If you see that you spoke to 75 homeowners, yet got zero deals, you know you need to work on your presentation. If you see you mailed 5,000 postcards, yet received zero response, don't spend money on postcards. It is imperative to your success that you know where your real estate deals come from, which marketing works best, how much you spend to get each lead, how much you spend to get each deal, and how many of your deals actually close. If you see it is costing you $500 for one lead, change your marketing methods. This sheet will help you track and modify your efforts to meet your real estate goals: What are your goals this week? 1. _____________________________________________________ 2. _____________________________________________________ 3. _____________________________________________________ How many distressed homeowners did you speak to this week? ________________________________________________________ How many deals did you put together? ________________________________________________________ List all marketing methods used and the quantity. How many calls were generated from each. (For example: 100 postcards mailed = 25 calls received; ran 3 ads = 15 calls received; put out 100 signs = received 50 calls). 1. _____________________________________________________ 2. _____________________________________________________ 3. _____________________________________________________ Which marketing methods generated the most potential deals? 1. _____________________________________________________ 2. _____________________________________________________ 3. _____________________________________________________ How many properties do you have on the market right now? ________________________________________________________ For how long? ________________________________________________________ How are you marketing them? 1. _____________________________________________________ 2. _____________________________________________________ 3. _____________________________________________________ Did you add any real estate to your portfolio? ________________________________________________________ How many? ________________________________________________________ What could you have done overall to get better results this week? 1. _____________________________________________________ 2. _____________________________________________________ 3. _____________________________________________________ How many wholesale deals this week? ________________________________________________________ How many wholesale deals fell apart? ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ What went wrong? ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ How many short sales this week? ________________________________________________________ How many short sales that fell apart? ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ What went wrong? ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ What seller objections were you not able to overcome? ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ What bank objections you were not able to overcome: ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ How many hours did you spend prospecting? ________________________________________________________ Do you honestly feel you treated this like a business? ________________________________________________________ What was the most important lesson you learned? ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Did you achieve your goals for this week? ________________________________________________________ What are your goals for next week? 1. _____________________________________________________ 2. _____________________________________________________ 3. _____________________________________________________ What will you do to meet those goals? 1. _____________________________________________________ 2. _____________________________________________________ 3. _____________________________________________________

Mel Feller and Multiple Secrets To Success
Mel is the President/Founder of Mel Feller Seminars with Coaching for Success 360, Inc. and Mel Feller Coaching. Mel Feller maintains offices in Texas and Oklahoma.
Like you, leadership expert and business author Mel Feller has seen the word leadership defined numerous ways over the years. Is it charisma and positive thinking? Pinstripes and red power ties? Decisiveness? Is it all about the situation? Is it meant only for the elite who rise to the top? Alternatively, is there a different story?
With over three decades of executive coaching, speaking, and most importantly, real-life, in-the-trenches business experience, his view is radically different. Mel Feller appreciates, and shares with listeners, that leadership is a moment-to-moment choice and not about title, tenure or position. Leadership is for everyone, every day. It is how we should live our life
Mel Feller sometimes referred to as the “Provocateur” for his ability to stir up a group or as the “People Whisperer” for his coaching skill that brings out the best in people, is known for his practical, street-savvy style; Mel Feller’s fusion of real-life stories and his conversational techniques connect with his audience at an intimate, intense and individual level.
He has shared the stage with U.S. Presidents Reagan, Bush and Clinton, U.S. Senators Jake Garn, Ted Kennedy, Robert Byrd, Orrin Hatch, John Glenn and Bob Dole. Hollywood stars such as Martin Sheen, Ben Johnson, John Agar, Royal Dano and Harry Cary Jr., and business greats such as Zig Ziglar, Robert Kiyosaki, Charles Givens, Tom Hopkins, Stephen Covey, Adam Ginsberg and Susie Orman. Mel also hosts his own radio show in Texas called “Multiple Secrets to Success” that focuses on both personal and professional tools in order to excel in life and business.
Mel Feller has over three decades of coaching and consulting experience in diverse industries, which provides a rich framework for his organizational insights and creative solutions. He brings a thoughtful approach to his work, carefully integrating both his coaching and consulting skills and abilities. When consulting, his focus is on “what you are doing” (i.e., goal setting, problem solving, taking action and achieving results). When coaching, his focus is on “who you are being” (i.e., how you are leading, aligning your values and tapping your gifts). As a client, you will become more consciously aware of how paying attention to — and balancing both — are critically important to your success.

MVP Points
After completing various goals, you will get a message stating that you have earned MVP Points. Enter the “MVP Rewards Checklist” screen in “My MVP” to check how many points you have earned, and how many are needed to unlock the various bonuses. You will earn twice as many MVP Points on the Pro difficulty setting, three times as many on the All-Star difficulty setting, and four times as many on the MVP difficulty setting. Also, MVP points are not awarded when games are simulated. The classic players that are unlocked will begin at age 30 and will age and retire like other players.
Get Any Player
To get any player on your team in dynasty mode, create an outfielder with the best stats. Sign him as cheap as you can for one year. You can trade him for any player (for example A-Rod, Mark Prior, etc.)
Barry Bonds
Go to “Edit Player” and select Jon Dowd of the San Francisco Giants. Change his number and name to Barry Bonds #25. His name will be annoucned when he comes to the plate for San Francisco, and all of his statistics are already in the game as “Jon Dowd”.
Cheap Perfect Player
Create a player with all desired information. Leave his attributes exactly as is. Then, go to “Free Agents”. Sign that player to a long cheap contract. Then, go to create/edit again and change the player’s attributes to make him perfect.
Infinite MVP Points
Reach a desired level of MVP points to spend on a player, stadium, or throwback jersey. Use them to unlock a bonus, then save your roster. Do not save your profile. Instead, reload your profile. Your MVP points will be at their pre-purchase amount. Use them to continue buying as many other bonuses as desired.Select dynasty mode and choose the Yankees. Turn off injuries, trades, rain outs, and budget. Set the difficulty on MVP. Simulate to the last game of each month. On that game, choose to simulate it (not quick sim; choose "Play" then "Sim"). Stop the simulation at the top of the ninth inning and choose to manage the remainder of the game. Do this for every month for the rest of the season. When the season ends, and you see "Advance To Playoffs", save the dynasty. Then, choose "Advance To Playoffs". Each time it will show your points earned.(about 13,000 to 17,000). Do not save after this. Exit dynasty mode, then keep re-entering and choosing "Advance To Playoffs". Each time you do this, you will get that same MVP point amount put into your profile.Note: This trick requires multiple memory cards. Once you reach the desired amount of MVP points (5,000 recommend), save your profile to multiple memory cards. You may now choose an unlockable for each profile. You will have as many MVP points on each one as you did at the start. You can use these points to unlock whatever you desire. Note: If you unlock a player, immediately go to "Team Management" then to "Free Agents". The player should be on the list. Assign him to whatever team you want (you do not have to sign him). Do this with each profile. When you are done, you can start a dynasty and all players will be on the teams you assigned them to.Start a dynasty with a team that can make the playoffs (for example, the Yankees). Simulate all the way to the last series, then save the dynasty. Then, simulate to the playoffs then advance to the playoffs. Save your profile (not dynasty). Exit the dynasty and you should have between 5,000 to 10,000 MVP points. Do the same thing as many times as desired to unlock everything.
Legendary Players
Make a profile. Then get 5000 reward points. Save your profile. Go to the rewards, pick a player, then save your rosters. You can do this to get anything in the rewards. This will not get legendary teams. It’s just fun to play with Babe ruth or Nolan Ryan.
Cheats
Great Cheat
Create a player named Nick Roy and make sure to save the player and your profile to unlock all MVP Rewards.
Ultimate Player
Go to create a player. His first name Jacob and his last name Paterson. Make him a “Free Agent” and in Dynasty Mode get rid of one of your players. Look for him in “Free Agents” and select him. He has a huge bat and almost every time he’s up he nails a homer!
Bad Player
Create a player and enter “Erik Kiss” as a name. Every time he swings he will break his bat and send a little dribbler to the pitcher for a sure out. Also, you cannot bunt with him; it will just go foul.

Mel Feller MPA, MHR, Describes the Process of Setting Goals
Mel Feller MPA, MHR, Describes the Process of Setting Goals
Mel is the President/Founder of Mel Feller Seminars with Coaching for Success 360, Inc. and Mel Feller Coaching. Mel Feller is an Innovator and Business Leader. Mel Feller currently maintains an office in Texas. Currently an MBA Candidate.
Success is the progressive realization of a worthwhile goal. – Earl Nightingale
The ability to set goals and to make plans to achieve them is the one essential skill of success. In fact, becoming a continuous goal setter will contribute to your success more than anything else you could ever do. An average person can achieve more than even the most brilliant genius, if that average person has clear written goals and the genius does not. Still, less than 3% have goals in writing and less than 1% review their goals regularly.
The very best way to predict the future is to create it. Goals allow you to decide how your life will change; making sure that the change is in the direction you want. The reason why people with goals succeed is that they know where they are going. It is as simple as that. When you create a vision of something, you want in your life you will suddenly begin to notice the distinctions between where you are and where you want to be. You will become aware and alert to opportunities in your environment that can be resources for you to achieve the goal and you will get creative ideas and inspiration to take action towards it.
Ambition
A high level of ambition is a hallmark of all successful people. This means that you should set goals that are beyond your current ability and skill, yet still believable. You grow as a person from the demands you place on yourself, so always demand more from yourself than anyone else does. What is possible for you today comes from your experiences, and if you limit yourself based on the past you will not go any further.
Set ambitious goals and continually work to surpass them. Your goals only specify the minimum results you will accept, not the maximum. Ambitious goals push you into action and even if you do not achieve every one of them, you will still go farther than if you had settled for goals that were too easy. Find goals grand enough to challenge you. Goals that will push you forward and let you discover what you are capable of. There are no limits to what you can accomplish. The only limits are those that you place on yourself. Do not let the limitations of others be your limitations.
Big goals will motivate and inspire you far more than less challenging goals. Most people settle for far less than they are capable of and get stuck in a comfort zone. The way to get out of the comfort zone is through continuous goal setting – to continually stretch yourself, always striving for something more. The more ambitious your goals are and the stronger your desire for them is, the more motivated you will be to make yourself do what you need to do to get where you want to go.
How badly you want your goals will more than anything else determine whether you achieve them or not. You can have virtually anything you want in life if you know exactly what it is you want and you are prepared to do the tasks necessary to achieve it. The requirement is only that you do the tasks in advance and that you do all of them. To tell that the tasks have been completed is easy, because when they are the success will be there in front of you for all to see.
Selecting your Goals
Brainstorm at least 10 goals that you personally want to accomplish and organize them by priority. Write them all down with at least one for each of these major life areas:
Health, fitness and physical goals.
Emotional and spiritual goals.
Financial, business and career goals.
Family, social and contribution goals.
Material, leisure and experience goals.
Personal and professional development goals.
To clarify what you really want to be, have and do in life, you can project yourself forward 5 years into the future and imagine that all of your dreams have come true. What does it look like for each area? What kind of lifestyle do you have? Where do you live? Who are there with you? Another powerful way to find your goals is to consider how you would spend your time if you had only 6 months left to live. What if you only had 6 weeks, 6 days or 6 hours left? Finally, what would you do if you found out that you had only 60 minutes left to live?
The Steps to Goal Achievement
Define: A real goal is specific, measurable, and time-bound and in writing. Once you have decided upon a goal the first step is to define it clearly, exactly, as you want it accomplished. The more specific and concrete you are, the better. The second step is to make sure your goal is measurable. How much do you want and by when? Set the criteria for achieving it so you can measure your progress towards it. The third step is to decide on the exact date when you will have the goal achieved. Give yourself a realistic, but challenging deadline. Without one, you will procrastinate and put things off. A deadline will motivate you to do the things necessary to make your goal come true. Commit yourself to the deadline and even try to beat it. If you for some reason do not achieve the goal by the deadline, set another deadline until you do achieve it.
Once you have done these three steps, the fourth and final step is to put the goal in writing. Just writing a goal down dramatically increases the likelihood that you will achieve it. A great method is to write your goals down in the present tense, as though they were already accomplished – for example: “I have acquired a certain amount of money”, “I have reached a certain percentage of body fat”, “I have overcome my fear of public speaking” or “I have developed the habit of reading one hour per day”, followed by the deadline date.
Plan: Write down a plan of action to achieve your goal and schedule it in a calendar. A goal is defined by the tasks you have to perform to accomplish it. If your goal is to form a positive habit, such as “I will learn a new skill every month”, the action plan is the same as the goal. On the other hand, if your goal contains many steps, write out a detailed list of everything you need to do. You can then organize the action steps by sequence and priority.
To determine the steps towards your goal, you can often visualize yourself having already achieved it and then work your way back to the present. You should also identify the obstacles in your way, the resources you will require and the people whose cooperation you will need. Write it all down. You can always add to your plan later as you discover more steps. If the goal is long-term, you should break it down into sub goals with deadlines every 30 days.
Once you have written your action plans for each of your major goals, it is time to make a detailed schedule. In brief, you take a couple of minutes at the beginning of each week to schedule tasks from your action plans to the days of the week. During these minutes, you also review your plans, their progress, and set new goals.
Action: After you have planned your work, it is time to work your plan. Your goal setting must result in action, because even the best plan in the world will not work unless you do. Discipline yourself to perform the activities of your plan on schedule. Observe how effective your action steps are and adjust your plan accordingly to make sure that what you are doing is taking you towards your goals. A simple yet powerful success strategy to follow is to schedule and perform one activity for each goal every single day. If you do this, then no matter how big or distant your goals are, you will reach them eventually. It will also build a chain of habits that will put your progress on autopilot.
When you have set a goal, the question of whether it is possible is irrelevant. The only question you need to ask is how this goal can be accomplished. How do you get from where you are to where you want to go? Always be on the lookout for things you can do to contribute to the achievement of your goals and continually look for better ways to achieve them.
Persistence: Make the decision in advance that you will never give up. Never even, consider the possibility of failure. See defeat as just a temporary part of learning how to succeed. Know that as long as you refuse to quit you will eventually be successful. The ability to persist in the face of the inevitable obstacles and difficulties to your goals is essential. In fact, with enough persistence you cannot accomplish very few goals in life.
Your success in any area of life is largely determined by how well you deal with adversity. You can often tell how high and how far a person will go simply by looking at how they react to frustration and setbacks. Successful people are not those who do not have problems – they are the ones who refused to become discouraged by their defeats. Each time we face a challenge we have the choice to respond confidently, or to let it overwhelm us. If you choose deliberately to respond in a constructive way and to deal with the problem effectively, you will learn, grow and become better able to deal with future challenges.
Motivation: It is up to you to make an absolute must out of every goal you set. The more you think about, visualize, review and rewrite your goals, the deeper you will drive them into your subconscious mind, the greater your motivation will be and the faster you will move towards them. Get a clear mental picture of you reaching each one of your goals. Make it so real in your mind that it feels like you already have achieved them. We see the images in our minds that drive us towards our goals. It is these images that we can call to mind for support when the going gets tough.
You should surround yourself with symbols of your goals and plans to help keep them constantly in your mind. For example, find pictures of your goals or write them down on post-it notes that you place on your bathroom mirror or work desk where you can see or read them every day. Alternatively, carry your goals with you on cards in your wallet and review them regularly. You can even begin each day by rewriting all of your major goals, and visualizing yourself already in possession of them.
Summary:
Write your goals down clearly and set a deadline for their accomplishment.
Make plans to achieve your goals, schedule them and take action.
Do something every day that moves you towards your goals and never give up.
Review your goals often and visualize them as already achieved.

Mel Feller MPA, MHR, Discusses Setting Your Own Goals
Mel Feller MPA, MHR, Discusses Setting Your Own Goals

If you have ever operated a home-based business opportunity or even a large franchise, you know that setting goals is critical to gagging your success. Setting goals should be an integral part of your overall business strategy from the very first day. Taking advice on what those goals should be can be tricky and may cause some tension if you work with others or have a partner. It can often cause some problems.
Often, we have repeatedly been told repeatedly that taking advice and listening to other people who are supposed to be more experienced and wiser than we are is a key to success. I am here to tell you that this may not be the case at all. Unless these people have very similar experiences, have ran the exact same business opportunity that you are planning to run, or have a specific skill set that applies directly to what you are doing, my advice is to set your own goals. Taking advice from non-experts like friends, business associates, relatives and who knows whom else can get you pointed in the wrong direction. It can often cost you time, energy and money.
So, layout your short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals and spend a full day brainstorming. Try not to let emotions like laziness, greed, wanting quick answers and other perfectly normal human factors get in the way. Make sure your set of goals will aid you in making your life easier, as well as, making you more money with less effort.
So what does it take to achieve a goal and see it become reality? Here are the 16 actions you can start taking today to ensure you achieve all the goals on your bucket list.
Consider your overarching goals.
Perhaps the most important question to ask yourself before you take on a new goal is What do you want your life to look like, and does this goal fit in with that vision.
Goal setting should be part of your life’s journey -- it should be relevant and meaningful to you. Things to consider: How do you want to spend your waking hours? What excites you in life? What areas do you want to spend time learning more about? In addition, what type of people do you want to hang out with?
Get it all down on paper.
Writing your goals down forces you to crystalize what exactly you hope to accomplish. This simple act has a way of making your goal stick in your mind and gets your brain working on the details of making it happen. One study found that you are 42 percent more likely to achieve your goals if you write them down.
Brainstorm what needs to happen.
You know what you want to accomplish; now you should begin strategizing what needs to happen to reach that vision. You will need to do some brainstorming to identify the main steps and tasks you need to accomplish along the way. Are there certain steps you need to prioritize? Are there any time-sensitive tasks that must be achieved in a certain order? Start determining what needs to happen when.
Come up with an action plan.
An action plan is the road map you can follow that will get you to your goal. This will help ensure you do not miss any important steps. Think of this as creating mini-goals, breaking bigger objectives into smaller steps, until you have “bite-sized” chunks. By doing this, your goal will seem less daunting and more attainable. Be specific about what you want to achieve each step of the way.
Make it measurable.
Along with your action plan, you need to set benchmarks for yourself in order to ensure that each step you accomplish is steadily building up to your bigger vision. You will need to set milestones and make each mini-goal measurable, so you know if you are getting off track.
This means setting deadlines that are reasonable, but also keep you moving forward. What is your target timeframe for completing the overall goal? Work backward from that and start setting target dates, which may be weeks, months or years from now.
Take action!
There is no time like the present. You have to start somewhere, so dig deep, find your courage and go for it. Your goals will never happen if you do not take action. It may seem scary to take that first leap. Maybe you are still working on the details or are worried you are not ready. Jump in, and you will start figuring it out as you go.
Consider your talents and expertise.
Think about what it is going to take to accomplish each of the tasks that make up your larger goal. This includes taking a hard look at your strengths and weaknesses. Do you have the skills and expertise necessary to accomplish all the steps?
Are there areas you will need to strengthen, or should you consider seeking help with some tasks? What areas are you most passionate about and which steps are your talents and abilities best suited to accomplish?
Delegate less important tasks.
If you have a big, far-reaching goal or dream, you are probably going to need help getting there. It is important to build a complementary team and surround yourself with supportive people to help you reach your goals.
Do you have helpers or employees you can hand off tasks to? What about hiring a freelancer? Focus as much as you can on the areas where your abilities are the strongest, and find ways to delegate or seek help in those areas you are weakest in.
Build a success mindset.
Success in reaching your goals is often determined by mindset. A positive mindset is a “success mindset,” meaning you are confident in yourself but also able to learn from mistakes.
Developing a positive mindset is paramount to surviving the difficulties you will encounter along the way. It is easy to be fed up and feel discouraged. A positive mindset helps you find the positive aspects in the storm clouds, and enables you to visualize your goal so you can “see” yourself achieving your dreams.
Hold yourself accountable.
This is the part where you adult up, defining your responsibilities and making it clear to yourself (and anyone else who is on this venture with you) what your responsibilities are for achieving this dream.
A great way to hold yourself accountable is to share your goals with others -- so if you are not making steady progress, you will have to fess up. The idea is to take ownership in what you are doing and keep yourself motivated to continue.
Find your inner motivation.
Keep your motivation high by setting goals that are attainable and relevant to you and your life. Making sure your goals are meaningful, realistic and timely will help you stay encouraged and give you an incentive to press forward. The best goals are those that connect with your intrinsic motivation; in other words, they are things you feel internally compelled to pursue.
Harness your inner worker bee.
Achieving any goal will require you to hone good habits and follow through on your responsibilities. Success does not happen overnight -- it is about making it happen, day in and day out. Developing good habits and learning techniques for being productive will help you stick to your plan.
Healthy habits, like getting enough sleep, eating well and taking care of yourself, will give you the energy and stamina you need. Productivity habits, like learning to prioritize tasks, work efficiently and stay focused, will make it much easier to reach your goals.
Seek feedback.
Feedback is critical to improving your performance and increasing your ability to achieve your goals. You have one perspective, but those around you may have another. Ask for advice from those you respect and trust.
Seek out constructive criticism and listen to what others are saying -- the good and the bad. Feedback is the cheapest and most powerful way to gauge how other people perceive how you are doing. It is an important tool to assess how well you are meeting the standards you set.
Evaluate how the plan is working.
As you begin moving forward with your goals, take time to track how things are going -- is the plan working? Are you able to meet the deadlines and milestones you have set for yourself? Periodically reevaluate your goals, look to see where you are lagging behind and start making adjustments accordingly.
Reset your goals if necessary.
Remember that change is part of life, and that means you need to be flexible. You may require an alternative plan if things are not adding up the way they should. Do not become so focused on your goals that you forget what your larger vision is. Is it time to make some sweeping changes and alter your course? If so, better to do it sooner rather than later.
Take a moment to reward yourself.
It is important to celebrate your successes each step of the way. Remember, this is about the journey as much as it is about the end goal. If all you do is fret about the future, you will surely hit burnout before you hit success.
Give yourself a pat on the back for all those little wins -- they add up. In addition, when you reach a major milestone, take time to acknowledge it. This reinforces that what you are doing is exciting and important, and gives you a chance to recognize those who have helped you along the way. In addition, celebrating your accomplishments will help keep you motivated and focused so you can keep going.

To start and run a small business you must know and be many things. As one small business owner attending a conference put it: "When I came here, my business lost the services of its chief executive, sales manager, controller, advertising department, personnel director, head bookkeeper, and janitor."
This FAQ, based on questions asked by people in small business or contemplating starting, suggests the many facets of running a small concern that each owner/manager must become familiar with. While the answers to the questions are hardly exhaustive of any of the subjects, they provide the background for questions you may need to ask before going into business, as well as suggesting sources of answers to those questions.
Introduction
Almost everyone considering it has dozens of questions about starting a small business. The only foolish questions, of course, are the questions that are not asked. Yet, many times, we do not have enough information to ask the right questions.
The questions in this guide are drawn from participants in training courses for new entrepreneurs. Most of the questioners did not own, operate, or manage small businesses. Their questions are typical of what is on the minds of potential business owners. You may have pondered similar questions, as you thought about becoming your own boss. The questions fell generally into areas such as the steps in setting up a business, marketing, and financing a new concern. In this guide subject has grouped the questions.
Answers to the questions came from experts in the various areas. These experts include a lawyer, an accountant, a bank loan officer, several small business owners, and market researchers.
These answers, it is hoped, will help you as you approach deciding on becoming a small business owner. The questions may suggest questions that you should find answers to before you invest your money, time, and effort in a small business.
Starting Out
If you have money but no particular business in mind, how can you get enough information on the best business to go into?
The best way of choosing your business venture is to look at your experience and educational background. A thorough review will provide leads on the business field you should enter - do what you know best. Even more important, you must like the business field you are going to enter to bring the enthusiasm and self-confidence you need to make the business go.
What are the basic survival skills you need to run a business?
The basic survival skills include a working knowledge of basic recordkeeping; financial management; personnel management; market analysis; break-even analysis; product or service knowledge; tax knowledge; legal structures; and communication skills.
What special obstacles do women entering business face, and how can these obstacles be overcome?
Women are at last making inroads into business, not only as executives but as owners. There are many obstacles, chief among them the doubts that lenders, suppliers, and in some fields, customers have about women's ability to run businesses. These can be overcome with self-confidence and a strong belief in your ideas. You should not be discouraged by being rebuffed by people who simply do not understand. As more and more women enter business and succeed, the process will become easier and easier.
What are the most important factors that cause small business failure?
There are, of course, many reasons for the failure of new small businesses. One way of looking at the causes is to remember that a new business is starting at zero momentum; newly entering a market, having to establish supplier relations, finding proper financing, and training employees.
To coordinate all these facets and start them simultaneously is a tremendous job. If you do not have experience and management capability, success will not be very likely. You will also find that undercapitalized businesses, those without enough cash to carry them through the first six months or so before the business starts making money, do not have good survival prospects. In such cases, even businesses with good management can founder.
If you are trying to buy a going service business, how can you figure a reasonable price for the business that takes into account goodwill and business contacts in addition to the value of equipment and inventory?
There are many methods, but what you are trying to do is set a value on the assets and earnings record of the firm. The simplest way is to determine the "payback period," usually two or three years.
That is, the net profit for two years would equal the goodwill value. A more complicated and accurate method called the "net present value" method is based on the cost of capital and a risk factor. For that, method an accountant's help would be valuable.
What kind of a market study should you do before deciding to buy a radio station?
Determining the price of any business is difficult. For a radio station specifically, you can get the figures on the total revenue of all stations in the area (that is, advertising revenue). You should also get the percentage of the total market that the station you are considering has. You must also determine the potential market for the area in advertising dollars. Finding out the total number of businesses by line and size in the area covered by the station and their advertising expenditures would give you some insight. Really, you would study the market like this for buying any business.
How long does it take a new business to establish a good public image?
A good public image takes a long time to establish (and only minutes to lose). There is no set formula, but a good image depends on:
The service, products, and customer treatment you provide;
The market you are in;
How you stack up against your competitors;
The quality of your public relations and advertising programs.
If you are new to a market - and if you do what you say you are going to - you may establish an excellent reputation in 18 to 24 months.
How do you find a good lawyer?
As with most personal services, you must have rapport with your attorney. The best way to determine this is to talk to lawyers by phone or visit them before you make a selection. Get recommendations from friends, or your banker. You are looking for someone you can trust and who will take an interest in you and your business.
Do you need a lawyer to start a business?
No, but it is wise to get the best advice possible when you are starting out. An attorney is one source of the expertise you will need to draw on.
Form of Business
What form of business do you recommend for a new business?
Each legal form, sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation, has its advantages and disadvantages. The one you should pick depends on your circumstances, including:
Your financial condition,
The line of business you are entering,
The number of employees,
The risk involved,
Your tax situation.
Do not assume, if you plan a one-person business, that sole proprietorship is the way to go. See your lawyer.
The Market
How can you find out what the prevailing costs are for a service business in your market area?
One way is simply to call competitors and ask their prices. Their prices will give you a lead. You could ask competitors' customers for the same information if you did not want to go directly to the competition.
How do you go about determining the market for a mail order business?
The principles of determining market share and market potential are the same no matter how large the geographical area. You must first determine a customer profile, the size of the market, and the number of competitors. You could also use a readership survey given to you by a magazine in which you intend to advertise.
Pricing
How do you figure markup and markdown?
Markup (markon) is the original amount that the merchandise is marked up. Markup as a percentage (also called gross margin rate) is figured as a percentage of sales. For example, say the cost of merchandise is $10 and you want a 20 percent markup; what is the selling price (SP)? By definition, we know that markup as a percentage is given as a percentage of sales. Thus, our cost must be 80 percent of the selling price (100 percent selling price - 20 percent-desired markup).
Therefore, our selling price is $12.50, cost $10.00, and markup $2.50 or 20 percent of the selling price. Markdown (discount) is a reduction of selling price below the original sale price. Assume the item is marked down to $11.25. The markdown is $1.25 or a 10 percent markdown ($1.25 markdown divided by $12.50 original selling price).
How would you go about establishing price guidelines for a business renting items to customers?
Pricing is based normally on a combination of cost and market competition. Trade associations are a prime source of such information.
Finances
What is the average expected net profit for small business?
Average net profits vary with the type of business - retail, wholesale, service, manufacturing, construction. They also vary for the type of business structure - proprietorship or corporation. Dun & Bradstreet publish ratios that give you these figures, as well as lots of very useful cost information.
Would you explain the meaning of "rate of return on investment"? How is it different from net profit? Is it different from return on assets employed?
Net profit (before taxes) is total sales for a specific period less cost of goods and operating expenses during that period. (For a retail business, cost of goods would be your cost of merchandise sold.) Net profit is a function of both rate of return on investment (ROI) and return on total assets. ROI is net profit divided by capital invested by the owners of the company.
ROI is used to measure the effectiveness of management in attaining the owners' desired return on their investment. Generally, the larger the ROI, the more attractive a company is to potential investors.
Return on total assets is the net profit divided by total assets. This measures the net profitability of the use of all resources of the business. It is another tool for measuring management effectiveness in the use of all resources borrowed and equity.
Does a bank require absolute top credit references from loan applicants?
The better the credit references the greater the possibility of loan approval.
If I estimate my start-up cost at $50,000 and can't put up anywhere near the $25,000 that I've been told is what I should have for my share, am I wasting my time even filling out a loan application?
In all probability you would be, although there are some exceptions. For example, it might be possible to get a loan under your circumstances if you were buying a business that is already operating well enough to provide sufficient profits to cover its obligations and the loan. Furthermore, if the applicant is the present manager who has made this business go, the chances of getting such a loan are much better.
Help!
Getting money is difficult; keeping it may be even more difficult. Where can I get assistance in managing my business?
Your accountant and bank can provide financial counseling that can be very helpful in starting and managing your business. They can also give you invaluable information on the local area and your market that can be critical in making decisions in your business.
