At some points in your life, there are times when you aren’t satisfied with your income achievement but you procrastinate to solve the issue. That was my situation…

I’m good at planning everything from career development to financial independence. But, as you may guess, it was only good and well-written on paper. It didn’t grant significant money for me.

Motivational gurus, from where I learned goal setting, mostly suggested that I had to write my goals and objectives on paper. I’d followed all of their guidance but nothing happened. Yes, I mastered the goal setting knowledge but my income objective was far from my reach.

About one and half year ago I found these simple formulas:

• Start with small steps

• Persevere until you get what you want

They are SO obvious and simple but I didn’t realize how powerful they were until they really changed my life.

When I began to accept the fact that I used to be a procrastinator on difficult and unpleasant tasks I saw things differently. As a result, my earnings increased by one and half just by applying the first formula. After that, I believed that further achievement was right before my very eyes.

Why are the formulas so powerful that they changed my life?

By starting with small steps I didn’t need to alter much of my daily routines. It’s a human nature that we love a status quo and resist change in our daily routines. But I could adjust easily with a minimal activities switch. I didn’t feel too much pain when I did one new daily task.

In short, I moved forward slowly but almost painlessly.

The second formula is essential to keep me moving forward. When I faced many obstacles down the road I rewrote my reasons why I wanted this goal. Every reason, especially the ultimate reason, was my additional fuel in case my energy level was low.

So…

If I can apply the above formula, you can too. Just apply the above formulas for whatever objectives you want to achieve. Of course, a goal for doubling your income is always interesting.;-)
