Dear Pennies & Pens,
In this post, Live Loud: How To Ink The Life You’ve Always Wanted, I’ll be offering tips and advice on how to set and accomplish your goals.
In order to ink the life you’ve always wanted, you need to set goals and work on them every day, week and month until you’ve accomplished them. So this post will outline how to do just that!
Soul searching to figure out what your goals are
Honestly, goal setting starts with soul searching. Go workout, meditate, pray, take a long shower, bubble bath, basically take some me time to focus and think about what you want out of life.
Write that shit down, little baby
Once you come up with goals, write them down — don’t type them, write them down with a pen and paper! This will force you to commit your goals to memory.
How to categorize your goals
I recommend categorizing your goals since you usually have goals for every aspect of your life. Goal categories can be lifestyle, finance, business, family, and spiritual.
To understand what I mean by categorizing goals: a lifestyle goal could be to “work out twice a week”, whereas a spiritual goal could be “read the bible or the quran in its entirety”.
Be specific when setting goals
Make sure your goals are specific because that will help you achieve them. Instead of writing the goal “eat healthy”, write “eat a vegetable with every meal” — that is a way to eat healthy but since it’s more specific, it’s something you can accomplish and measure. You definitely want to be able to track your progress so setting specific goals will help you do that.
The big inkgoal
So even though you have different goals for each aspect of your life, there should be one big inkgoal. This inkgoal is your gamechanger. It’s the one thing that would allow you to ink the life you’ve always wanted.
My inkgoal is to make ISLP + 8515 profitable in 2020. This would mean that I wouldn’t have to work full time. I would be able to come and go as I please, work with who I want when I want, and make more money. Making more money is my priority because it will help me accomplish my other goals.
For example, I want to buy a new mattress and redecorate my apartment. But of course I need pennies to do that. So that’s why I am focusing on making more money from my businesses. Saying this to say, your big inkgoal should be your main focus and then the rest of your goals should fall in line behind that. Make inksense?
Share your goals in the comments
What are your goals for 2020? Share them in the comments and I’ll be your accountability partner. I’ll check in with you twice a week to see how you’re progressing.
The first time will be to see what you have planned to accomplish your goal and second to see if you actually did that shit. So share your goals in the comments!
And there it is. de la Pen…All Pen Everything. With us, keeping it real never goals wrong.
