I’m a big believer in goal setting and although I usually set my goals quickly after the new year begins I wanted to spend some more time really evaluating how I wanted to run my business as I moved into 2011. I’ve taken enough time to reflect and I’m ready to share my goals again for this year. Long time readers may recall this blog post where I planned to quit my job in 2011, but fortunately I was fired in late 2009 and was able to achieve my dream of self employment earlier. With that out of the way my focus for 2011 is to grow my business even bigger.

My Goals For 2011:


1. Earn 50% more than I did last year which was over $150,000+ (2010 Income Report)
2. Spend at least $100,000 or more on buying websites
3. Automate more of my business by hiring at least two more full time employees
4. Hit 10,000+ RSS readers for my blog (currently at 4,632)
5. Complete the P90X workout program

I have a clear focus in mind for my business in 2011. I’ve already had numerous website sales over the past few years and most recently had my first six figure deal. So moving forward in this year I’m going to continue buying more websites (if you’re looking to sell your website(s) at a reasonable price contact me here). Last year I was earning well into the six figure income mark and one of the beauties of being self employed is that your income earning potential is uncapped. So in 2011 I plan to give myself a 50% raise and continue earning six figures. I have to continue working really hard if I am to accomplish my goal of buying the Guthrie Castle.

Finally, I am determined to get into shape this year. Sitting in a chair all day at home has it’s benefits but it also has it’s downsides with one of those being a lack of physical activity. So I’ve ordered P90x and will be starting in a few days to get in shape.

What are your goals for 2011? Have you even set any yet?
