Achieving a big hairy goal is kind of like climbing a mountain. Your summit might be publishing a book, generating six figures in revenue, running a marathon or getting a promotion. To find out, ask yourself, "What do I want to achieve, and how will I get there?" This way, you can hold yourself to account about how much you’re writing and what you’re actually sending to your editor. If you want to achieve a revenue goal for the year, break the total into quarterly and monthly targets that you can track on a dashboard or spreadsheet.
