There is a famous saying by Donald Trump: “As long as you’re going to think anyway, you might as well think big.” So make sure that you have a big or monumental goal in work from home business. It is very natural then, that you will ask yourself “How do I achieve this big goal in work from home based business?”

Our brain plays an important role when we set our goal and formulating plan of work from home based business to achieve it. When our brain is given a choice to do something or to put it off, it will pull us towards the more comfortable path, especially if the goal is so difficult to achieve. However, when we make it as a must no matter how big it is, our brain will start taking us seriously and we will always find a way to succeed in our work from home based business!

Therefore, to ensure that you achieve your big goal in work from home business, you must put yourself in a critical condition where you have absolutely no choice but to achieve the goal. You put yourself on the line where there is no doubt that the only option is to succeed in your work from home business. You focus on success, you think success, you breathe success, and you dream success -- in work from home based business! As Benjamin Disraeli said, “Life is too short to be small.”

Many successful individuals created the results in their work from home based business because they simply had no choice. They put themselves in critical condition (their future was at stake) and this action eventually led them to successfully achieve their goals!

Likewise, you must know what is worth dying for. Spend some time reflecting this: “What in life would I not be able to stop doing, no matter what the consequences were?” Tell yourself that you will succeed in working from home business, no matter what!

You must ensure that your goal is STAMPS: Specific, Time-limited, Action-oriented, Measurable, Purpose-driven and Stretching.

Specific. The goal must be clearly spelled out.
Time-limited. The goal must have a time frame and deadline which will force you to watch and put your best efforts to fulfill.
Action-oriented. The goal must inspire action.
Measurable. You must be able to measure the goal so that you can express its progress using figures of measurement.
Purpose-driven. The goal must be reasonable, i.e. it has a strong ‘Why’ behind it.
Stretching. The goal must be very challenging, something which pushes you and yet is achievable.

To ensure that you achieve your big STAMPS goal in work from home based business, put yourself in a critical condition using these five strategies:

1. “Burn the ships.”

You put everything you have on the line. Of the five strategies, this is the most daring strategy because the stake is very big.

In 1519, Hernan Cortez sailed his fleet of 11 ships from Spain into the harbor of Vera Cruz, Mexico, bringing with him soldiers, sailors, and horses. He landed there on 4 March 1519. Cortez didn’t want his troops to have any doubts about their mission, so he ordered to burn the ships to make retreat impossible. His men no doubt understood that Cortez was very serious about this mission and really wanted results, and that they must focus on victory.

When I quitted from my profession to start work from home business, I was tempted to go back to my old job when I didn’t earn money yet from my work from home online opportunity. However, I realized that if I didn’t ‘burn my ships’ then I won’t fight very hard to succeed in work from home business.

2. Set a monumental goal.

You deliberately set a highly challenging and monumental goal in work from home business with adequate time limit so that you will be forced to take a lot of thinking and efforts to achieve it. Tom Hopkins said, “You can’t rest unless you set goals that make you stretch.” However, boldly saying that you’ll successfully do something without the capacity -- skills or resources -- to do it is just bragging.

In 1508, Michelangelo, the famous artist, was summoned by Pope Julius II to work on a painting project, which involved painting a dozen figures on the ceiling of Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. Once Michelangelo agreed to do the job (albeit reluctantly), he poured himself into it. He expanded the scope of the project to include more than 400 figures and nine scenes from the book of Genesis. He spent four agonizing years sweating in physical distress -- his neck, shoulders and back ached, and his vision was damaged -- as he worked to paint the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling to produce a real masterpiece.

What is your monumental goal in your work from home business? How much will you earn in 2010 by maximizing the work from home online opportunity?

3. Make a public declaration of your goal.

You make your goal and plans public, so that you will be more committed to following through with them. Thomas Edison called a press conference to announce his good idea for an invention. Then he’d go into his lab and invent it.

Who should you declare your goal of work from home business to so that there is no way you will leave the work from home online opportunity?

4. Get other people involved in the process of attaining your goal.

You share your goal in work from home business with some close friends or relatives, those who will be supportive to you. This will force you to be committed to achieve your goal, and at the same time you may also get valuable support, advice and information from them to pursue work from home online opportunity. Tennessee Williams said, “Life is partly what we make it, and partly what is made by the friends we choose.”

5. Make a financial commitment on your goal.

You set your goal in work from home business associated with financial commitment, such that it will hurt you not to do it. What is the extra money you are committed to make in work from home based business? When it comes to real commitment on money, people tend to be more serious and determined, and put their thought and actions whole-heartedly. As Voltaire properly put it, “When it’s a question of money, everybody is of the same religion.”

By putting yourself in a critical condition, you put yourself on the line and tell yourself that the only option is to succeed in work from home business. Failure is not an option regardless the immense obstacles. You force your mind, body and soul to focus your efforts and play all-out to achieve your big goal in work from home business successfully and pay the price to reach it.

Make a solemn commitment in your heart to achieve your goal. Commitment is the inner strength that keeps you pressing on when everyone else tells you to give up, and getting up no matter how many times you are knocked down in pursuing work from home online opportunity.

The only real measure of commitment is action -- walking your talk. Therefore, measure your commitment based on your action: how much time you spend in work from home business, in service, with family, etc. Then see if your actions match your ideals about the things in your life which you would not be able to stop doing. As Cecil B. De Mille said, “The person who makes a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly.” Take action to start work from home business here.
