		<description>By setting goals, you are not allowing yourself to get sidetracked. Of course, these goals need to be somewhat realistic or you&#039;re going to be disappointed and discouraged. However, these goals can serve a purpose that is two fold. They can help motivate you to achieve more, which will ultimately show results on the bottom line of your business/website. And secondly, they help you understand what is working and what isn&#039;t in terms of traffic, sales or whatever you have chosen to be a goal. 

Great stuff your doing here, best of luck!</description>

		<description>Joe,

You are absolutely correct! Goals must be specific. Otherwise, you can get away with a lot of things. If you have specific goals, you will be able to evaluate the results and modify your actions if necessary in order to achieve the goal next time.

		<description>One thing I see some freelancers doing is not making specific goals for their online business. It&#039;s not enough to say &quot;My goal is to get more traffic to the website&quot;. It&#039;s much more effective to say &quot;I want to increase my traffic by X uniques per month and set conversion goals to X percent of those uniques.&quot;

Specific goals are always more attainable than over-generalized ones.</description>
