Achieving Your Dream Goals

But following through with taking action to accomplish them is the part everyone struggles with, including you and I. That is why in Part 5 of this 5-part series on Goal Setting and Planning, I am addressing some of the key mindsets, habits, and actions that are important to adopt if you want to achieve your dream goals.
As a creative entrepreneur and designer on Zazzle, one of your dream goals are to earn your desired Zazzle income. But you might not know where to start or what to do to achieve this.
In this article, I am going to share with you my top 8 tips on how you can start achieving your dream goals. They are super easy and you can start doing them today. I will also give you tips specifically related to Zazzle. That way you can use these tips in general for all your dream goals as well as for your Zazzle goals.
1. Lose Your Fears
Fear can take over your life. Being fearful that you can’t accomplish something is your worst enemy. When you fear that you are not capable of accomplishing something, in turn, you make yourself believe that you can’t do it. This negative energy will overwhelm you. By losing your fears, you start to believe in yourself. This will give you the power and strength to be confident in yourself. Confident that you can achieve what you put your mind to and start achieving your dream goals.
Losing Your Fears As a Designer on Zazzle:
Be confident that you can make your desired income on Zazzle. Don’t think about how you can’t compete with the other designers. Lose your fear and your confidence will show through on your designs.
2. Stop Making Excuses
Excuses are an easy way for you to convince yourself that you are ‘trying’ to achieve something. However, excuses cause you to avoid challenging yourself. You need to challenge yourself to move towards success. In order to achieve your dream goals, you need to be true to yourself. Excuses are an easy way to make you feel good about yourself at the moment, but ultimately put you on a path that you don’t want to be on. Stop making excuses and rather challenge yourself to accomplish what needs to get done.
Stop Making Excuses For Your Zazzle Business
As a Zazzle designer, you need to be honest with yourself. Did you do post as many products as you said you would? Have you put the hours in? If you make excuses and refuse to challenge yourself to complete certain tasks, you will not move closer to achieving your goal.
3. Taking Calculated Risks
In life, you need to take risks. Successful entrepreneurs did not get to where they are today without taking risks. However, these risks were calculated risks. Successful people make strategic business decisions based on the best possible outcomes. You need to do the same. By understanding your limitations and making strategic decisions, you will be able to achieve your dream goals.
Taking Calculated Risks With Your Zazzle Business
When was the last time that you made a strategic business decision for your Zazzle store? Have you made calculated risks that could potentially help you accomplish your goals? It;’s not always a matter of playing it safe or leaving it at the status quo. To be a successful business owner, you must take calculated risks to achieve your dream goals.
4. Have An Open Mind and Positive Mindset
Do you know how powerful your mind is? Did you know that a positive mindset affects the way you act, think, and make decisions? It may seem obvious, but when you are in a positive state of mind you are confident in the way you act. And when you are confident in yourself, you believe that you can achieve your goals. When you believe in yourself, you put more energy into actions that will put you on the path toward success. Having a positive mindset is essential to achieving your dream goals. When you have confidence in yourself, you are giving yourself the strength to push forward to being your best self.
Have An Open and Positive Mindset For Your Zazzle Business
Have you ever caught yourself thinking negatively about your Zazzle earnings? Or how many views you get on certain products? When you concentrate on the negative, you focus all your energy on how you are not succeeding. If you focus on the positive, you will see the possibilities for your Zazzle store. You can then focus on succeeding and begin to take action that will increase your sales. Taking action such as analyzing your store sales data and making strategic business decisions from it can fix your problems and cause exponential growth.
5. Always Believe In Your Passion
Your passion is what makes you tick. It makes you, you. Passion for something gives you the drive to move towards a specific goal. It’s the fire that keeps you moving every day to reach the top. It is the feeling you get deep down in your heart that says to you- THIS IS ME AND I LOVE DOING WHAT I’M DOING. No one can take this feeling away from you. You need to believe in your passion and yourself. Never doubt it. If you always believe in your passion you will put yourself on the path to achieving your dream goals.
Always Believe In Your Passion and Your Zazzle Business
As a Zazzle designer, you need to believe in your passion as a creative. Love what you do. When you are passionate about your creations, it will show in your product designs. Your passion is reflected in your creative work which leads to sales.
6. Identify Your Limiting Beliefs
Staying positive is key when goal setting and moving on the path towards success. But you might have your doubts. Have you ever thought negatively about yourself or the situation that you are in? You might be doubting yourself and you don’t even know it. Any belief that you have about yourself or how something is supposed to be or happen, that is stopping you from doing something or not doing something, is a limiting belief.
What limiting beliefs are stopping you from succeeding? Be super honest with yourself. Once you identify them you can begin to take action to overcome your limiting beliefs.
Identify Your Limiting Beliefs For Your Zazzle Business
Do you find yourself ever thinking that you are not a good enough designer? Or that you can never compete with the popular designs on Zazzle? Do you think your products will never sell? Think about the limiting beliefs that are stopping you from achieving your dream goals with your Zazzle business. Identify them and eliminate them.
You are capable. Your designs can be successful. Think positively about who you are and what you are able to accomplish.
7. Visualizing and Planning
In addition to taking action to achieve your goals, you need to be in the right mindset as well. Visualize what you want to accomplish. Do you want to earn a certain income each month? Would you like to have time to travel each year? Do you have a certain car or house in mind that you would like to buy? What steps do you need to take to make these things a reality? First, you visualize. Second, you plan steps to achieve it.
Make yourself a vision board or list. Write down your list or make a collage on your vision board that you can see every day. Daily visualization causes your brain to imprint your goals through visual stimulation. This technique helps stimulate your sub-conscience to bring forth ideas to help you work out a solution to reach your goals.
Once you begin to come up with the top 3 most effective action steps, write them next to your goal so that you can begin planning.
Visualizing and Planning For Your Zazzle Business
What do you want to achieve with your Zazzle business? Do you have an income goal and do you want it to increase in the future? Visualizing your goals will help you become clearer on your target goal. Then your planning will give you the strategic action steps to take to grow your business. A proven plan is key to generating wealth on Zazzle.
8. Investing In Yourself
You need to take the time to appreciate the most important thing in your life… YOU. When was the last time that you thought of what YOU need? Most of the time life gets in the way. You are busy. Time flies by and you have not taken the time to invest in yourself. When you invest in yourself, you invest in achieving your dream goals. Take time to read, learn and research the things you need to know to achieve your goals. Knowledge is power. And with this power, you will be able to make strategic decisions and take key action steps to accomplish what you set your mind to.
Investing In Yourself and Your Zazzle Business
You are your business’s most important asset. Take care of yourself to grow your business and reach your earnings goals. You also need to be operating at peak performance. That means learning and training yourself to run your business most effectively and profitably.
