Us DINKs believe strongly in visualizing your goals. We have done this consistently with all of our goals and find it to be both helpful and fun. Our first was a hand drawn thermometer on the back of our bedroom door, for saving for our place.
Most recently we saw some real results with our web traffic. We were on one of our regular calls when we started talking about how to increase our web traffic. I decided to work my magic on publisher and tweak our traffic reports to show that they are double what they currently have been. I figured that this would give us a goal and a nice visual to back it up. See below:
The incredible thing is, our traffic more than double the very next day. See below:
While the web traffic dropped back down again afterwards, I’d like to think that there was no coincidence that we had the biggest increase in traffic we’ve ever seen in a day. Not bad for results there.
Pertaining to our general finance goals that we’ve been working on for the end of the year, I’ve made up this little poster. This gives us not only the overall goal, and small pieces of that goal, but also reminds us of the steps that we are committed to taking to reach that goal.
We’d love to hear from our readers to see if they’ve had any success with visualizing their goals.
Cheers,
Miel
