My #1 goal for 2008 is to live my life with more focus. Right now I feel too scattered and that causes me to not do any one thing very well. The term “multi-tasking” has been hotly debated lately and I am guilty of trying to “do it all.” Now I am beginning to be a firm believer that multi-tasking is for the birds…it just doesn’t work! My new mantra for 2008 is to focus on one task and see it through to completion (or at least far enough along to where it is functioning), then move on to the next task. Let’s see how I do!
Hi,
We reached our 2007 goal to have 1000 visitors per month… and we did it in 9 months.
For 2008 we would like to triple the number of visits and time to make the required changes to our website.
Good luck to all for 2008,

I would like to be able to stop wearing work clothing and getting up and going out that door at 30 below to a cold auto just for $1000.00 a week ,Rick
The number one goal for 2008, is that I will be able to make enough money per month to live a little more than comfortable and not feel that I am living week to week anymore. In doing this, it will allow the other goals I have in mind to unfold. I would like to be able for my husband to live out his passion. Also, I would like to be able to pick up the phone one day and invite my family on a trip to Vegas with no worries of finances on their part.
I would love to spend more time traveling. I miss seeing friends back in California and Northern Italy. I would enjoy taking my notebook along to take care of business while I was on the go!
My first goal is to get out of debts and to find a good preschool for my son. To be free in my mind in order to concentrate on my passions.
My goal for2008 is to make at least $5K a month to be able to quit my current job. I would like to make enough money in the next few months to create a decent budget to put towards Adwords. In the process, I want to build a nice email list for new products.

My number one goal that doesn’t deal with income is to lose weight (50 pounds) and learn how to eat right. I need to be healthy for my children. I need to live a long and happy life. A large income won’t help when I’m not here.
Learn web design,create profit pulling websites.
learning all the aspects of creating email lists and marketing with them.
Learn all aspects of using MDD with my auctions and websites.
Conduct further research into niche markets and creating sites and sales from them.
Learn everything I can regarding research, marketing and create actual profit from my efforts.
My #1 goal for the year 2008 is to be more patient with what i am currently trying to achieve. I don’t want to rush myself into failure. I want to believe that i can and i will achieve all of my goals.
To my success

My goal for 2008 is to get my website updated with the many different products I want to sell and I really want to learn to create my own products from ebooks to videos.
Denise
My goal is to complete the launch of my current (and first) project, within the next three months.
My primary goal is to create enough streams of passive income that by the end of the year my day job will be optional and I will be debt-free. I love computers and the Internet and learning how to make my marketing efforts more effective.
My goal is to increase sales of my information products, both through eBay and my website. I hope to find more high-dollar products that will sell consistently. I would like to increase my bottom line without a drastic increase in the time spent finding and marketing products.
last quarter of last year was a downfall for me…i was thinking of all my collectibles but none came….i was hoping this year would not be the same as last year…
i will be more focused on finishing my task and then perform my obligations…
hopefully this year will be much fruitful for me…
To make sure that my Disabled Daughter would

We are both disabled and I am looking for ways
to make a greater income and not rely to much
on Social Security
My goal is to start building a network of sites, setup to build email lists and sell things. And to earn on ads and/or selling with banners, and to build up traffic from different kinds of sourses.
And keep learning on the fly, notice I said start as it’s not a easy thing to do. And will take hard work, and things learned the hard way and lots of time, to get everything together and keep updating everything as I go.
Things are changing now as it use to be adsense was all that was needed, but not anymore you must put your eggs in more then one basket. I’ve seen many with just adsense left shaking their heads. After google made some big changes, that goes for park pages as well.
I want to stay flexable, and keep driving different things, so if things change I’m not left depending on one sourse for income. And at the same time keep learning new stuff, to be able to make adjustments as I go along.
While traffic is playing a numbers game for most, this is not what matters most what is needed is the right traffic. It matters little, if you get a million hits and they click off your site, as fast as they clicked on to it.
This is becoming very clear as time goes on, targeted traffic means the most. The days of playing the numbers game, is coming to a end that is clear. Spam emails don’t work, tricky SEO does not get the traffic that is needed as much anymore.
So many people think they can do it super easy, but even the best and most easy programs will not work. Unless you got a good worked out plan, and learn things as you keep moving ahead. It takes time and work, there is no real get rich fast programs.
I have got to figure out how to put all of this stuff together. Like income from adsense(everyone but me makes $10,000 a month from it). Everyone seems to make $1000 a day like for the last few years, so why haven’t they retired. If it’s so easy why can’t we all do it. OR are we the suckers funding the 48 people who have figured it out and put it together.
Hi,
In 2008 other than income Goals what I want to achieve is:
1)Better understanding of what makes Great Automated Systems work.
2)How to Build a long lasting and Trusting Realtionship with subscribers and customers that will pervail and bring Referrals to my Newsletter and Blogs.
3)To be able to discern between ALL the Info Overload and find the Real people that are willing to coach the TRUTH and have gold nuggets of Proven Techniques that THEY use for their OWM Business!
Thanks,
Rudy
Q4: Excluding income goals, what is your #1 GOAL for 2008?
My income is being transferred more and more over to autopilot as I go through all my websites and blogs, so my main goal for 2008 is instead to focus more fully on enhancing all areas of my accumulated know-how. You might call it starting all over to recap the first love for the fun in making money online.
Also, travelling with my wife who turns 30 in October has become a priority. My dad had some health issues that awoke us to the need to enjoy one another more fully. Indeed to the benefit of our three kids also.
So focus on UNDERSTANDING what is known and on MAINTAINING what is around us. Any good gardener will always tender to his garden.
PS: Hope you won’t mind having to send the gift to Denmark….
Absolute Number One Goal is to get my first Website up and performing in February. The continuation of the number one goal is to have four more websites before 2008 comes to an end.
My main goal this year of 2008 is to stay focused and keep my eye on the prize. I am a little more organized, trying to do more in less time and stop wasting time checking emails. This year I will quite my job and become a fulltime Online Marketer.
My goals for 2008 besides earning a great income is to be able to give back to others and help them in their journey in life. I know that to be able to achieve this I need to be free of money worries and things began improving towards the end of 2007 so I will keep learning and improving and also offering help and assistance where I can. 2008 is going to be a great year for me, no matter what happens.
I want to wish you all great success and happiness in 2008 and beyond
Love and Light

My goal for 2008 is to learn how to create a constructive and efficient structure for my new life while I am learning to work from home (AND learning to BE at home all day!! YIKES!!). I need to replace my previous income as quickly as possible, and I have found it so incredibly challenging to create a daily routine without being swept away by distractions. My JOB was in a very goal, deadline and detail oriented, black and white, rule and regulation driven world for many years. As the Mortgage world crashed, my life as a Mortgage underwriter went down with it.
My #1 goal for 2008 is to get out and network more in order to build many and more solid relationships with other business people. Whether online or offline at events.
Having a solid community and network are obviously an integral component of success and enhancing that aspect of my business will ultimately benefit others as well.
Dear Mr. famous and wise “Socrates”.
My Goal #1 is to have enough time and peace of mind to finish writing a Book that I began writing some time ago.
It would be great to have my office organized so that I could have everything on my finger tips and it would be good for the Body and Mind to go for a vacation without worrying about the expense and
I only would be able to accomplish that if I were to make a steady and considerable income on the Internet.
Obviously the fourth wish is the key to the above.
Thank you,
Have a nice day,
Vera
in 2008, i want to be able to buy a house and lot. i also want to save for my children’s education. in 2008, i would like to be successful in my job and earn extra income, if possible. i would also like to buy new gadgets like camera, cellphone and MP3.
Hi Socrates,
My #1 goal is to supplant my day job income, so that I can finally work at home with my wife and two young sons, helping them build multiple streams of online income, and from what we build, to be able to assist family and friends (several single moms and widows) to learn internet business strategies. Our goal is to be able to build a network incubator to be more self-sufficient, and not to rely on a broken system that is floundering at the moment…namely working for a boss and not earning enough to keep up with the bills.
Thank you for this opportunity.
Paul
I would like to have the confidence and knowledge that I can generate new and continuous streams of income if the ones I currently have run dry.
My goal is to maintain my focus, vision and clarity.
My number one goal for the year 2008 is to get as much passive income as possible cranking and be able to concentrate on producing more content for my website. Tied in with this , I want to get my membership software up and running!
Cheers,
Leslie
I love being with my family. My two sons work with me on the docks. Today, January 30, I became 51 years young. I am determined that in 2008 I will develop a business that my wife, myself, and our two sons could prosper, grow and enjoy together. With the proper mentoring we will achieve this goal much sooner.
I would love to learn more about selling info
products on the auction sites.
I would love to be able to get a suscriber list going and keep them informed as to what I am doing and selling.
I would also love to get my imprinting business going again.
My goal for 2008 is to quit smoking. I have been smoking for years now and I am getting worried. In high school I was a track star and could run a mile in less than 5 minutes. Now I can’t even jog 1 mile with out spilling my guts out. My second goal is to quit smoking marijuana. I have been smoking marijuana for a couple of years now and Im getting all burnt out!
My Goals for 2008 are to get my non profit organization going by getting 501(c)3 status and marketing the organization to everyone I can so that it grows.
Spreading Autism Awareness is worth more than any dime I could ever make.
Although having a non profit organization that is bringing in members/committee and funds is a goal that also must be achieved in order to be able to help families with Autism.
So for 2008 my goal is not to be rich with money but rich with knowledge that everyone will be informed about Autism.

Financial security is the foundation supporting the #1 goal for 2008, by July, moving to a new residence in a community with a better school for my son, going into middle school. Preparing for that is releasing all the things in my life that are holding me back, things and people that I’ve outgrown or are no longer serving a purpose. Sounds harsh, maybe, but accepting the reality of being ready to move forward into new challenges, new place and new people. It feels good and I’m sure the things I release will go to new places and people who will love them anew.
Thanks for the opportunity to share!
PS Would really love to win the Walkman to keep the positive voices and music in my mind all the time ;^)
My goal for 2008 is to be financially independent through an online business.

So, my goal is to learn anything and everything about a business on line that will make it successful.
My goal is to get 100 subscribers on my list. I want to start small and work up from there. I also want to learn more about online marketing in 2008. There is a lot to learn and I am reading a lot of material. May all of you have a lot of success.
My goal for 2008, aside from generating a full time income working from home, is to be able to have the time to draw more traffic to the various websites which I have. This in turn will give me the additional income, some of which will most likely be spent on more internet related ventures… and some on Ebay (I’ve got hobbies)! But at least that helps others out at the same time, stimulating the economy. I’d also like to be able to create my own products & launch a new website for those. Amongst finding the time for the other dozen or so ideas I have floating around here.
Establish a newsletter, Blog and WebPage which deal with computer maintenance for NEWBIES
One of my goals for 2008 is to spend more time with my wife and kids. I come home from work in the evenings and get on the computer. It would be nice to be able to get on the computer when the kids are at school and have the evenings with them.
Another goal is to become successful in my online businesses. I have 312 subscribers for one of my niches and 102 in another. I would like to be able to increase those numbers and be able to build meaningful correspondences with them.
I am also starting a fixed term membership site in February.
Who knows, after that? Got 10 more months to succeed in something else.
My primary goal is to build my website in correlation to my ebay seller ID. I just started so I plug away one thing at a time. In addition to working on my site, I am listing ebooks with bonus packages on ebay, building my lists, trying to get leads, build traffic to my affiliate sites and write a product review to post in an ezine and start a blog. Phew…enough of this, I got lots to do!
Hi,
I like to run a free ebooks, articles, journals & etc. website about Mechanical Engineering field and expand it by earning from ads.
My Goal for 2008 is to make money by professional so that i can make my own dream home easily….by this year ending…
Hi, my goal is to learn and have knowledge on how to market and make profit in a business through online.
Also I would love to be successful in future when i begin my business to be able to bring up my kids.
Thank you
To learn more and have knowlege in dealing with business through online.
Be successful in future and make enough profit to take care and educate my kids and the needy.
thank you.
Having dumped loads of “guru’s” in 2007 I have only got a selet few left, (Socrates is still on my guru list:
I believe that with Socrates and only 2 other mentors guiding me, I will reach my goals in 2008. With ture genuine mentoring from these guys, I know I will reach them.
I have a number of goals for 2008 with I am working very hard to reach. They are in no particualr order:-
a) To choose one niche out of 4 I sort of know about and turn that one into a top seller in both eBook form, article form and develop adsense sites. This is the area I need help with, turning an idea into a selling product.
b)Finish establishing my 3 other websites.
c) Build my list to at leaast 3000.
d) start my own membership site. A membership site solely for newbies. Making it affordable to join yet providing the best up-to-date products all with MMR or PLR to them.
So that’s one hell of a goal for me to achieve and all I can do is try my hardest. As they say no rest for the wicked
Socrates that you for giving us this opportunity to share our main goals for 2008. Seeing them up on the internet gives one that extra push to achieve them. Reaching those goals would be the main prize. Putting them into practice, well, that’s the hard part!
Here’s to everyone reaching their goals in 2008 and beyond, I do hope we all achieve them and more.
Take care
Valda
I want to live my life up to the best of it,each moment i want to make it enjoyable .

Hi my main aim is to earn a pound more than i need and to do it 6 months in to 2008 then i can sort out my life and deciede where i am going and if i still want to go there
Better understanding of what makes Great Automated Systems work.To learn more and have knowlege in dealing with business through online.Be successful in future and make enough profit to take care and educate my kids and the needy.to make money by professional so that i can make my own dream home easily….by this year ending…
My goal this year is to become an effective internet entrepeneur receiving over $300 per day from my enterprizes.
For 2008, I’d actually like to see myself find some resolve to go somewhere. Thus far, my business has played out more like a hobby, and the bottom line surely shows it! So this year, the goal is to crack down on myself, and when I sit in front of the computer, actually work on the business, not beating my last Minesweeper score.
I guess my number one goal for 2008 would be sell my novel. I also want to get my personal website up and going, and to start my own blog. As always I want to increase my promotional knowledge and basic knowledge in all area.
I definately want to live a more focused and goal-oriented ilfe this year.I want to be able to maximise every minute and every hour engaging in a profitable or edifying excercise. Time is life,therefore should be utilized well for one to live well. Aiso to learn to cut off excesses and irrelevancies that occupy so much of me. Focus & outcome is the slogan for me this year. I belive a truly successful life is not just being rich but being fullfilled,that is acheiving ones carefully laid down goals.
Other than income goal, my #1 goal for 2008 is to have more time with my family, especially my children who are eager to go to school and enjoy my accompany to do their homework. This shall be achievable if I stay focus on what I should do and can do. It comes back to the real motivation to being financial freedom by learning all the necessary skills in Internet Marketing, blogging, affiliate marketing, SEO etc etc, with minimal cost and more guidance.
My goals for 2008 are too live today as if there was no tomorrow, to follow my dreams and to love all those around me, especially my family to the max!
My #1 goal for 2008 is to actually get some traffic to my sites. I am VERY new to this Internet Business so needless to say i am struggling! I look forward to some success in 2008.
Well for 2008 my goals are to finish revamping my website, ive started just got to put it up now as MyDD is now working. I also want to find out more about the making of products. I feel that 2008 will be my year thanks to MyDD, if you keep all your promises about the product, and your after sales service ( which by the way is fantastic) I will be on my way to achieving success.

I’d like to get info about all of my existing “product” which is music for relaxation by unique artists OUT on the net in all alleys with all available tools: video, blog, podcast, adsense, web2.0 etc and so on

My goal is to be THE BEST!
I’ve been working on the Internet for many years now but somehow, I seem to have kept stumbling over my technical background and my need to have everything ‘perfect’ before doing anything. 2008 will be the year that this changes!
I’ve created my first product (keep an eye on my blog at http://www.johnlandells.com to see when it launches) which I hope to launch before the end of February and I have an idea for the next product ready to get started.
To be specific, my goals for 2008 are:
1) Launch my first product
2) Build a list of at least 1000 subscribers
3) Replace the income from my main job!
If I can acheive these 3 goals, then I’ll have a great 2008, and be set up for an amazing 2009!
Socrates,
My goal for 2008, being the year I turn half a century old, I want to put more fun in my life. I want the success that will provide a better life for myself, my family and a future that allows me to attend more seminars, to share my success with others. I want to reach all my goals this year, and have less stress in my business life.
I want to have financial security and be able to leave a legacy for my children. I also want to be able to share that knowledge with my friends and family to help secure their futures. I believe that by giving back I will receive more.
By teaching my children and grand children how to build a financially free future and showing them how to do the same for there families, I too will feel better about my life.
These being just a few goals I have for the year, is a great place to start. The knowledge I have already received from you has opened my eyes to a brighter new year.
I would like to thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts with you.

My primary goal is to create enough streams of passive income with AdSense that by the end of the year my day job will be optional and I will be little bit more richer. I love computers and the Internet and learning how to make my marketing efforts more effective.
My main goal for 2008 is to become more focused. I spent most of last year chasing one thing to the next. I have learned from watching others (now) that I need to focus on one thing until it is right then move to the next.
My #1 goal is to start an online business that will enable me to give up my present employment and spend time at home with my new baby who will be born in April.
My primary goal is to help new markets make sure all of my clients make the most from there efforts pay off,
My goal for 2008 is to be happy.
I need to have a feeling of being content.
So far in life I just don’t have that.
My No.1 goal is to make a success with my online business site.
I want to learn more about promotion using blogs, adsense, etc.
I really want to use the internet to my advantage when promoting my business.
Really, what I want more than anything is to have a successful online business and help others do the same, and I am going to make sure I do this by the end of this year.
To have the wisdom, knowledge ,Intelligence, faith and courage to belive in my self , in my projects to never leave and stay always until i have success in what ever else i want to do. is not a goal is a life style.
Best wishes

Hello!
My goal in 2008 is to earn money and from home.I’m working right now and it’s very exhausting and the salary is not satisfying so I need to work a comfotale job with good salary.
Excluding income, my number one goal is to build site that draws a reasonable amount of visitors. I have some domain names and started working on copy for one of them. I would like to go online in the next 3-4 months, and have a nice list by the end of the year.
To spend more “Fun Time” with my 7 children. Spend more alone time with my wonderful wife. Take longer vacations at better resorts, oh and of course find better web masters to out-source the one thing I really dislike about online marketing…site building. I hope everyone has a banner year and good health!!
I want to increase my site by adding at least 10 pages of quality content.
I want to increase hits to all of my websites using link building techniquest.
I want to create new streams of automated income that will earn money on ‘autopilot’.
The #1 goal is to perfect and valuable internet marketing business that can run efficiently on auto pilot. It can help fund our two children’s college education.
Goal would be to get out of debt, resolve tax issues and travel europe for 6 months.
One of my other goals is to fix up my basement and rebuild my home.
I would love to be able to find out how to make $$$ on line. I am at a loss, trying to figure it all out, what to do, ebay, a product, blog, promoting a site I bought, ????? It would be nice to have someone take me under their wings and show me. I would love to be able to make an income to where I AM doing something productive, and can contribute to our family income, which is now all on my hubby’s shoulders. I would love to be able to bring in what he is making so he could quit his dead end job, and then he could work the business with me. I would for once in my life be able to master something, and succeed at it.
My #1 goal for 2008 is to make money online
in a consistent manner. I retired from the
9 to 5 market in 2001, to set up a professional
hypnosis practice. I have chosen a field
that is becoming more crowded by the minute,
and I need a way to carve my niche without
having to bite, claw, and scratch my way to
the top.
Socrates,
my number 1 goal for 2008 is to continue to live a balanced wholistic life. I am getting more focused and into my meditational practice and being equanimous about the ups and downs of life. it also really helping me tremendously with dealing with unmet expectations and crazy people
Thanks again,
Monica
My goal is to be able to work part time using an online business that I have to set up and ensure customers continually return.
My number one goal is becoming more focused on working on building my online business. This focus is the backbone of trying to do better on line. I currently let personal distractions get in the way of my progress and don’t spend enough focused time online.
Goals for 2008:
1) Stop buying how to manuals, software etc. that does not fit in with my business model and just takes up disk space.
2) Concentrate on one project at a time without jumping from the latest fad to the next latest thing
3) Automate the whole internet marketing thing so that it becomes a “hands off” business rather than a “hands on” one.
Socrates … you never asked whether we’d like to know more about building traffic either organically or by other means
Many thanks
To free myself from financial instability would be my #1 goal. In the process, ultra minimize my belongings to become more mobile and basic. Relocate to Europe for a new view of life while remaining Globally connected to the internet. Create photo journalistic documentation story along the way to inspire and share what I do for a living (on the internet)to those who ask. To pick up all the pieces pieces I have learned and put them all where they belong is a focus I am certain of now. Thanks S.Socratous, you caused my thinking to see clearly again. MyDD is brilliant.
My goal for 2008 is to set up a system to earn me $50 per month. That does not sound like a good goal but I have been working for years and have bearly got of the ground. Every email or document your read says “it is easy, watch or read this”. I do so, and then you find out the real work that has to be done. To get $50 every month will meant that I am airborn at last.
With the country heading more and more into a recession. I would like to find a way to help others and enrich their life, by developing something that would enable them to see light at the end of the tunnel. Not in such a way that there would be no accountability or responsibility, but in a way that would allow for breathing room. Perhaps some way that would encourage them enough so that they could reach out and assist someone else.
I don’t have it as a goal to become some reclusive middle age millionaire, but I would like to see a little more reward for the effort that I put forth. So that my wife and daughter could benefit and enjoy a few nice things.
Thanks for the opportunity to have a share in this project. And thanks for the continued insight via email.

1)Focus on making $2,000.00 a month immediately selling on eBay.
2)Giving presentations throughout the country on mankind’s greatest achievement-the Apollo Moon Program.
[I was one of one of a few women engineers of 400,000 people].
I am starting at the U.S. Naval Academy within the month.
3)I need to learn MyDD better. I love it but am having trouble.
4). How to sell Resell rights eBooks on eBay.
Thanks,
Sara
My #1 goal is to get my first product created, my salespage up and my list building underway. I want to see a decent profit by July 28th (my birthday). Replace the income from my J.O.B by the end of the year. And then be able to quit my J.O.B on 7-28-2009(My 50th birthday).
I desperately want out of the rat race and to have my freedom. There are things that I want in life not only for me, but for my family as well. Basically, the freedom and the financial secruity to live my life on my terms.
Good luck to everyone in their 2008 online adventures.
Sic Itur Ad Astra - This is the way to the stars
My #1 goal for 2008 is to master a systemized approach to creating residual income and teach other women to do the same.
My goal for this year is something that I want to do for myself, that most probably will never bring me one red penny.
This year, I will be getting up at 6 am three times a week to study Portuguese for one hour before going about my regular daily chores.
My BIGGEST goal of 2008 is to get back on my feet. (LITERALLY!)
I just found out today that I’m going to need pain shots in my lower back to be able to continue to walk. (They hope anyway.)
So, I’d have to say that I need to focus on getting well, so I can serve my family, AND build my business. (I’ll do them both in any case.)
THANKS FOR THE RANT!

My Biggest Goal of 2008 is to gain more focus, get my business on track, enable myself to move to New York where my friend is living, get health insurance, and get my physical problems worked out. I have a problem with my back called scollis and psorical arthritis so I can’t really stand or sit for long periods of time. I want to enjoy my remaining years to the fullest and my economic, geographical and physical situations make doing that extremely hard.
WELL MY NUMBER ONE GOAL IS TO MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY A LAPTOP COMPUTER TO HELP ME IN MY STUDIES AND SOCIAL LIFE.SECONDLY TO GET AN EDUCATIONAL SPONSORSHIP ABROAD OR DOMESTICALLY.FINALLY TO EXCEL IN MY ACADEMICS AT SCHOOL.
I Want to be self reliant in 2008
I want to green Oriented
I want the Our Mother earth is Protected from the Insensible Humans.
I am trying to figure out an on-going way to make enough to pay for my severe medical expenses (about $70,000 per year) and still have enough to live on comfortably. The big catch is that I have to make sure that it will do this, without fail, failure to make sure that it is an on-going, non-stop income venture is a death sentence, and all this I need to do to preserve my own health, become prosperous enough not to have to worry about medicines, doctor’s visits, possible hospitalizations, rent/house-payments, Utilities,
transportation and all other necessities of life,
while hopefully achieving enough success not to ever have to worry about these things again and ,hopefully, be able to help others in this predicament. I have to do this without doubts, cause my only income (SSI Soc.Sec. Supplemental income)will end (along with medical care, prescription drug coverage, foodstamps, and all other such life sustaining benefits associated with being on a government assisted check)rather abruptly should I make any income at all. This will be a real miracle if it can be done, since on my fixed income of approximately
$600 dollars per month, I have no money, LOL even less than no money, as I find it almost impossible to live on what I have now…..and the biggest joke is that everyone on the internet, television, newspapers, magazines, etc. wants the “life blood money” that I need to continue to exist, just to try and learn the things necessary to do it…try that one for a catch22 situation….thanks for at least considering me and how difficult it would be to try and do anything about the situation…..
My goal for 2008 is to clean up the mess that accumulated in 2007.
“Pick up my guitar and play, just like yesterday.
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray, we don’t get fooled again”
Thanks!
The biggest goal for 2008 is to focus on a few projects instead of shooting off in different directions. I think creating your own product is the way to go. So many of us out there doing exactly the same thing, I think I’ll need to produce a product, software, ebook that’s unique and of interest for people to market.
Have 12 good ebooks listed and selling in ebay, and on my website
Hello Socrates,
My number one goal for 2008 other than a great income would be to help others more.
To have them achieve great success, which in turn would show not only to others but myself that I am also successful.
To have the wisdom and courage to not procrastinate and get my online business moving in the direction it needs to be going to be successful.
Thank you for letting me submit my goals!
Sincerely,
Scott F. LaPlante
My main goal for 2008 is to be alive at the end of it. I want to be healthy. I want to continue the good times with my wife of 42 years.
My primary goal for 2008 is to establish a few online business’s to continually develop a passive income from multiple income streams. I want to create some products for financial benefit and humor. And to implement and use some of the great tools such as MYDD, PLR products and improve my EBAY Sales with resellers and info products.
Well, lets see. I spent the last half of last year just studying and doing research on what makes the internet marketing world tick. I am in the process of putting what I’ve learned into practice. My goal is to make $1500 per month by the end of this year. Not overblown dreams. With a little hard work I should be able to make it.
My #1 goal for the year 2008 is to be more consistent in developing my blogs to offer better tips to netizens. I’ll continue to learn how to attract more traffic with better contents. What excites me is to see visitors coming from all around the globe. I wish to say a Big Thank You to all my dear visitors and thank you Mr. Socrates for giving me this opportunity to convey my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation.
To our success,

My number 1 goal for 2008 is to get my health and fitness back on track. I’d let my health and fitness slide over the past 3 years due to my marriage breakup and the stress associated with the realization of what this ultimately meant for me and my 3 lovely daughters.
2007 was the year I decided to walk out of my marriage and the mindset that I had as a result of this was not particularly favorable.
So, this year I’m casting aside any of those thoughts I suffered with last year and am now looking positively to the future ahead.
The future ahead has started to grow on me already and I have regained a sense of pride in everything I do and hopefully this will start to spread into all areas of my life.
Role on 2008.
cheers,
Steve
My number one goal in 2008 is to achieve $50,000 Plus in my online businesses that I have started beginning of jan 2008.I have started 3 little quick rich deals but The one I am after is computers and web hosting that I hope will take off at the end of Feb.
In 2008 I want to travel all over the US!!!
We are planning a Route 66 trip as well as others across the country. We will be shooting travel videos on the road for the Travel Channel as well as our own blog.
You can check out the live streaming feed once we are on the way.
I want to move! A change of climate to the warmer side. Snow and ice was fun when I was young and I looked forward to the seasonal change with anticipation. Aging changed that, arthritic fingers don’t handle the cold they way they used to do.
I don’t want to roast, just looking for pleasant and balmy, hopefully with a breathtaking view to inspire my article writing. Oh yes, a big aromatic cup of hot chocolate.
Doug
Dear Socrates:
My goal is to learn how to build traffic to my site, and convert it to sales. This has been hard for me. I have not been able to do this, It is very frustrating. I could use a lot of help on this.
Curt
Thanks for this opportunity; my goal for 2008 is to help each of my children to find their best path through positive thinking and the law of attraction. I am convinced we can all live better lives through this method. My long range goal is to build a series of care centers for those who have nowhere else to find acceptance and the care they need, those of society who have to choose between eating or their medications. Lofty? Maybe, but shouldn’t we be our brother’s keepers?
Hey, socrates is a great guy and you can say he is my mentor.Under hus guidance I am going to take my website http://www.iamnotuseless.com to rank no.1 in google in its category by the end of 2008.This is my only goal and I know with socrates on my side its easily possible.
My goal for 2008 is to help as many people as possible achieve personal success once I get my personal development website set up and running, hopefully in a few weeks.
not bad idears every one has here in your blog and i do agree im trying the same as most of the others here
ok i get it now three sentences long lol oh well i need cash same as every one else in the world so my gold is to make money i was told u have to spend money to make money so ive spent all i have on this online busness thing and hopefully it pays off lol
I turn 39 (!!) on the 6th Feb. Is that not reason enough! It would be nice to go into my 40th year with a form of technology I don’t have to ask my three year old how it works! (or will I! Thanls for MyDD, still trying to get my head around it but the three year old has read the quick start guide and seems pretty confident! Will hopefully use it to explode my eBay and online/offline revenue this year, before the three year old starts to earn more than I do!
John
My 2008/2009 goal is to sell a few of my listings of awesome property deals in Costa Rica, to encourage more Costa Rican “Realtors” to work ethical and not greedy, to help other real estate agents with listings on my costaricamls.biz website. To find the time to market my http://www.costaricaweblink.com concept to other as business opportunity and help them to make money and secure their future too, and finally to get my different blogs going. Puravida and a great life, health and future to all.
Great site Socrates !
1. I would like to get My_DD functioning, if not on eBay (there seems to be a credit card hangup) then certainly on my website, delivering my products for buyers there.
2. I want to locate INSTRUCTIONS on how to set up My_DD to deliver my products with ClickBank or some other provider.
3. Both of which (1&2, above) are by way of saying “My biggest goal is to DO/ACTivate/REALIZE a first-pass website in my niche, MAKING SALES!”
Am I victimizing myself, as in “Not failure, but LOW AIM is the problem!”?
My number one goal for 2008 is to TAKE ACTION on ALL the things you’ve taught us in your awesome online webinars…and to actually *CLOSE THE DOORS* on my existing business so I can realistically make a 7-figure income and move back home to Seattle to be near my kids and family! And…to leave a legacy and show others how everything you’ve taught us IS possible!
Hi,
I have a few websites and i would say my dream would eventually be to make enough money to be able to chuck away my dead end factory job that i hate(i wish the place would burn down).
or even get enough to go part time.
One thing i must set up though is a blog first and get some sort of mailing list.
steve

Oh i forgot to say, i guess i would like to make money not millions, well it would be nice.
Hey who wouldnt but even enought to equal my factory job and hey that aint much and get out of the rat race.
My father worked his whole working life at the same place, he hardly ever took a sick day let alone a sickie, and thats aussie slang for a day off with out being sick.
Now he was about a year from retiring and finally being able to enjoy the rest of his life, when he developed lung cancer.
Well he was given 1-3 years to live but lasted 3 months.
Im not sure what i am supposed to say here or questions i should answer but thought i would say what i have said above.
Also sorry if i havent made sense i have had a few drinks.
There is plenty of money to be made on the net if you know how , and i have a lot to learn.
thanks
steve
my goals for 2008 is to become debt-free to be able to spend quality time with my kids and grandson, so i have to have a large measure of reedom to do that. and to finally after years of working for someone else i wish to travel and 2008 is to be the beginning of that endeavor. and 2008 is the year i wish to be able to give back to the community and those less fortunate than me not to say i have much but i wish to share whatever good 2008 bring.
My goal for 2008 is to take time and focus on the various means of promoting my website http://www.gpsnavisystems.com as well as find other business opportunities without being overwhelmed.
My number one goal for 2008 is to help another 150 people plan, and maintain their health goals. When can’t really enjoy our money if e don’t feel good.
I will help them find the reasons “Why” they need to treat their bodies with respect.
I need to focus on my business and believe that I am capable of being successful in my health and wellness business.
I would also build an internet business to assist people in learning how to stay healthy for life!
Goals for 2008:
First I want to get moved to North Carolina, I am sick and tired of living in Indiana! I am going to be divorced soon so I will be living alone on a fixed income, thats going to be tough so it is important for me to start making some real money.
Next I would like to get to a point where I can help others. There are so many scam artist on the net nowadays and I want to show my fellow underdogs the path to a safe scam free program and a better life. We all deserve better!
I would like to get an email from a real millionaire who is willing to lead me by the hand and show me, step by step, how to make it. And I don’t want to give up my food and rent money to make it!!! Finally I am tired of broken promises,
if you can’t back something up then shut up!!!
God Bless You All,
Michael Large
For 2008 my number one goal is to develop growing residual cash flows from at least four sources.
Then use this cash flow to pay down my debt and continue to ramp up my cash flows from my profits. I want to continue this growth towards eventual financial freedom.
To make enough money to be debt free and to live a comfortable life.
My No.1 Goal for 2008 (other than income) is to get better organized and put what I learn into practice.
I’ve been working the internet for almost ten months and I have accumulated stacks of information, including CDS, DVDs, PDFs and reams of printed-out ’stuff’. I want to spend less time looking for what I need and more time with my darling husband and our family, including our furbabies.
We have an animal sanctuary for abused and abandoned animals. I want to get completely organized in 2008, so we can expand our operation regionally by 2010.
I’m increasing my readership daily on my blogs and I MUST get more organized if I want continued growth.
Hi Socrates, thanks so much for the opportunity to put a link on your blog, but as for now, I don’t have a website, whatever I do, I have to do it in a big and yet cash-free way, as I don’t have any…LOL
I remember years ago as a rather visionary child in school (circa 1969) here in the South, I told my peers that things like personal computers, laser scanners, and tissue transplants were just around the corner for all of us, and was ridiculed, laughed at, and scorned, even the teachers of the schools here, purposely embarrassed and humiliated me whenever possible, and most aggressively….
It truly is a shame that young kids (like I was at that time) don’t realize the bitter core that most of those type lack-luster nay-sayers operate from….because, I was a truly talented and gifted child, but through their Herculean efforts and employment of Stupidity,jealousies, ignorance, and derision over a period of years, (give them an A for effort, as they never gave up, and worse, I didn’t speak southern back then, having been born here in the South but raised in the west), they all but destroyed that young dream/goal/future oriented mind which my parents had tried so hard to cultivate.
I love what I am reading here, so many lofty goals, so many hopeful dreams, and the will to promote and grow them….thanks for the opportunity to comment here again, and to congratulate all those who contributed to the poor self image and depression from which I suffered for so many years, stealing my youth and my dreams, but also, to congratulate all those who struggled with similar rejections and maltreatments and went on to crave with undaunted spirit the success which you and so many others seem to be offering those who have any resources to pay for the materials with which to get started.
I will endeavor to heal my wounds and jump in with both feet and Ear-Plugs this time(God only knows where the funds will come from, but I hear the will makes the way)to march to the beat of my own broken drum……Long live the strong in Spirit, and mercy to the tender in heart!!!
1. Review my overall goals
2. Develop detailed plan for 2008.
3. Review and update 2008 budget
4. Get up off my arse and do it.
Speaking again of my 2008 #1 goal. Along with growing multiple streams of residual income I hope to increase my marketing skills. This would include starting my own blog, traffic generation use web 2.0 strategies, and article marketing.
I have already started taking action towards these goals and have started working on building my multiple streams of income by following a great step by step plan with No start up cost.
Anyone can get started on the same road to riches by taking a look at my listed website link.
My goal for 2008 is to get even closer to God, to have greater inner peace, including divine wisdom to take 12 people and make them multi-millionaires and they show other around the world to do the same.
The other thing that I would like to do in 2008 is to build me another recording studio to produce music for TV & motion pictures.
Focus is my #1 goal for 2008. I spend too much time reading emails from every marketer that catches my curiosity and get very little new “work” done. I also keep getting new ideas while day-dreaming, and I need to learn to just write them down and concentrate on the one I already started.
I am back again in IM. I Have a better understanding this time round what is required for a Internet Marketer. Focus! Focus! Focus! My simple goal set is FREEdom and doing something meaningful in my life.
The reason I strive to be self dependent working from the internet is the same reason I started just about 2 years ago… To re-claim my kids from a sorted lifestyle my wife has chosen. I don’t care about the travel, the cars, the homes, the fame… not even the Sony player (though the kids would think it’s kewl). I’m here for the back link.
My #1 Goal for 2008 is to get over my fear of using the telephone to call prospects. I am perfectly comfortable talking with people in person about my business and how it might possibly change their lives, but call a prospect when I’m sure they’re going to shoot me down?! I avoid doing it like the plague. I am determined, though, to stop treating every prospecting call like it’s a life or death situation, and start relaxing and having fun with it.
What I really want to accomplish in 2008 is to get focused on just a couple of business opportunities. Right now I feel like I am all over the place with nothing to show for it. I would like to be able to be successful with at least one of my websites. I believe that with my newest website http://www.mgshomebizopp.com that I will have a very good chance to succeed. And the best part is that I will be helping others to be successful at the same time. I want this year to be the year I can tell the world ” Yes, you really can make money on the Internet!” This is what I am going for in 2008.
My goal for 2008 is to excell in what I’m doing.
My goals are to make enough online so I don’t need a regular 9 to 5 job anymore. To next year, or sooner get a big enough home, one I’d like, with no need for a mortgage. Plus get to writing a science fiction book I have planned.
in 2008 i want to get a good job in a mnc and want to learn moer about the pc desktop and learn .net
I, as everyone else want to make my fortune! In this year of 2008. I have aspirations, but like others I too am a little muddled! So this is the year for focus! I can accomplish my goal!
Well here we are. I am a newbie to all this having semi retired last year.
I am picking my way slowly through the maze of interweb semi-technical bits that need attention. I just love the way experienced folk keep telling me “this is so simple, this is easy, just follow these simple steps” etc, etc. And I have yet to find a beginners guide to setting up your internet business that covers all the steps in a straightforward fashion. Either that or it’s a one step template affair that doesn’t give you what you really want.
Maybe I’ve found my niche?
Anyway, my goal is to have fun and make some dosh and try to do stuff properly, not just for the money.
I like the phrase “do what you love and don’t chase the money!”
That’s my real goal this year. So good luck to everyone else, there’s enough to go around, let’s hope we all get a bit more.

Having run a successful business for over two decades, half of which has been online selling various physical items, my #1 GOAL for 2008 is to reach out to as many people i can in the internet marketing sector.
In doing so, i want to give as much help and guidance to anybody willing to learn using many of the skills I painfully learnt the hard way. Such as graphics/web design and online video production techniques and procedures. And most importantly, the majority of this information will be supplied absolutely FREE to every subscriber of my newsletter.
On a personal note, I want to take my whole family on a vacation to Las Vegas in November, to celebrate my Daughters 21st Birthday.
And finally, I would like to personally meet socrates, and thank him for all the help and support he and his team have given us.
So watch out Socrates, I will be looking out you !
Hi there, I have only just started this website stuff and finding it quite hard doing from scratch, but i am gradually getting there, just what i am doing is working and traffic will go to my website! good luck all new starters also! My goal, is to have things all working how i want it to, ie must website running properly with traffic going through it!
Hi there, I have only just started this website stuff and
