There I was pondering some goal setting about my Internet Business while standing at a urinal at McDonalds when it hit me…
You are probably wondering what the heck my Internet Business, goal setting and urinals in McDonalds have to do with each other? I was in a McDonalds the other morning getting my fill of some artery clogging breakfast food of a tasty bacon , egg cheese biscuit and suddenly felt the need to use the restroom…. Number 1 NOT number 2…lol
This particular McDonalds had one of those really cool enviromentally friendly waterless urinals that is supposed to save thousands of gallons of otherwise wasted water each year. One other feature I noticed about this urinal is that it had a “to scale” detailed ethched fly right in the center of the urinal about 5 inches or so above the urnial drain…I swear I had to do a double take because it actually looked like a real fly….
I noticed myself naturally targeting the etched fly as I used the urinal…I got to thinking was this the purpose of the etched fly in the first place?…To give me a target?
I did a little research into the etched fly in urinals feature and I found out that there is a very specific reason why the etched fly was there. Apparently the company that came up with the etched fly idea did studies and found that public restrooms that had these urinals with the ethced flies actually stayed cleaner and smelling fresher for longer periods of time….The reason why? Because there was less urine splash outside of the urinals. Think about that for a second.
Just like I noticed my natural tendency to target the fly as I used the urinal apparently so do other men when they use the same kind of urinals. The company that came up with the fly etched urinals figured out if they gave men a “target” (the etched fly) that they would be less likely to be careless and let the unintended “spash factor” happen which tends to make things less clean and smell bad in a short period of time….
I had an epiphany…. When we set a target or set a goal the actions we take in execution to achieving that goal are a lot more focused, purpose driven, efficient and ultimately “cleaner” with a better end result. Wow…I’m a genius!!
Having a specific target in relation to your Internet Business is key in how successful you will be….Just aim for a target or goal that you set and things automatically have a more successful outcome…Seems like common sense but sometimes we forget the simple fundamentals…
Your “target” (ie goal) for your Internet Business can be something like what I had when I was first starting out… My Goal was if I could consistently make just 4 sales a day at least 6 days a week that I would be well on my way to at least having a 100k year just on the front end with my simple $67 Niche market DVD training product. Of course I would eventually had to reverse engineer the process on how to get to that 4 sales a day at least 6 days a week…But just focusing on that goal, that “target” of no less than a consistent 4 sales a day open the flood gates of creativity and gave me something to focus on…I’m proud to say that I surpassed that goal already…and I owe it to having a clear “Target”
Just setting the goal (ie target) for your Internet Business is more than half the battle to achieving the desired outcome….Just ask the people that came up with idea of etching flies into urinals…
Definitely something to think about
