Hitting your income goals actually feels fucking awesome

this is a bit of a random rant but I feel like you hear this message from super successful business ppl, sales ppl, actors ect:


" all i wanted was (insert level of success) and when i got it, i realized it wasn't all it was cracked up to be"


or some variation of that.

And maybe im sensitive but ive always heard that and thought "oh should I not be shooting for an income goal?"


I get that when ppl believe their entire life will be better when they make X or get X title it can be disappointing......


BUT


I have also been fortunate enough to have an income goal that I strived for and DID finally hit it. Life is not perfect of course, but it is fucking awesome.


And hitting the income goal and then surpassing it is awesome.

setting new targets is also, awesome.

It doesn't mean you are on a never ending search, it means you can continue to strive and achieve and do really fucking cool stuff.


idk thats the closest to a linked in inspirational post as I can get.


I hope everyone hits the income goal this year and you feel awesome about it.


(i feel like i need to create a course and sell it now or some bullshit like that.)

This is such a great read. Income goals seem to be looked down upon by a lot of people for various reasons, but I think its a great goal to have since it will influence your work, etc. I have one actually which seems so far away lol but thats part of it. Congratulations on getting that paper!!!

Love it. It's about the grind of putting in the work to check off the goal you achieved.

This could be making $1 from a new business you start. It could be selling $2,000,000 and hitting your quota.

It's all contextual. Point being....It's the FEELING you get when you actually set a metric, you do the next right thing to get you closer to it, and then finally achieving it.

Honestly, it's about what makes you happy. If attaining a financial goal does it, great! I think many of the "money doesn't buy happiness" type advice is also solid, because for many, money isn't the real issue and focusing solely on it invariably isn't going to fix what's "wrong" or lacking. All that aside, everyone's personal satisfaction and happiness comes from different places, and who is anybody else to judge?
