Goal setting rules

The first time i saw the BMW Z4 was in 2009 and i fell in love with the car at the first sight. Because the customs in Egypt are so high for such cars there was no chance to get the car for less than 100,000 USD (and it will be a used car), the new one is being sold in Egypt for about 210,000 USD (because of the customs)

Since that day this car became my dream car but at that time i couldn't even afford a used one. I set a target to buy that car one day but i discovered that in order for me to reach that goal i need to earn at least 5 times more than the 4000 USD i used to make per month back then.

Most people who try to set goals make the mistake of looking at what they have first then finding out the best thing that they can get given their current resources. A typical person would calculate the amount he would be able to pay for a car while earning 4000 USD/month then accepting the car he can afford as his fate.

But because i knew that true happiness is all about getting what you really wanted to get, not an inferior option, i had to find a way to raise my resources to reach my goals and not the opposite.

How to buy your dream car

I set a goal in 2009 to earn 5 times the income i was earning back then. As usual, as soon as you decide to do something differently all people will try to stop you.

Some people started saying that i am mad, others said that i am wasting my time while a third group advised me to focus on my career and forget about the internet business (because they never understood that success is more likley to happen if you followed your passion)

Thanks to God, i didn't listen to anybody and i kept moving forward. Almost each day i used to hear discouraging words from the people i knew back then. Even the closest people used to attack me the same harsh way that strangers did.(see Why people put others down)

I decided to block my ears and keep creating new products to sell on my website. Some products made a little success, some didn't succeed at all but i just kept moving forward.

I believed that in order to get what i want in life i had to keep moving forward even if the road wasn't paved and i was right.

After few years and lots of challenges my income has increased 5 folds and 3 days ago i bought my dream car. (see my book How i did it)

How to get what you want in life (including cars)

Here are the most important lessons you should have came up with after reading my story.

)1 Don't compromise: Don't ever lower your goals just because you believe you can't reach them. If you lowered your goals so that they match your resources then you will become unhappy and you will feel that life has lost its meaning
2) Don't listen to people: Some people won't want to see you successful, others are not successful themselves while a third group don't really know how can a person become successful. In other words, listen to people and you are doomed to fail. Block your ears and your are more likley to succeed (see This is why you should never listen to people)
3) Don't ever give up: I know that its easier to give up but the kind of life you will live after doing that is a one that is not worth living. I am sure you can imagine how does it feel like to feel like you are defeated or that you are a loser. Don't give up no matter what and you will truly live. (see why you should never give up)

That's my Garage

I have managed to become a self made millionaire at the age of 28. This didn't happen by chance because i already wrote that goal down five years before i accomplished it. Becoming rich is not about luck, starting big or being intelligent but its all about having certain beliefs about money and life.

In The Ultimate guide to becoming rich i will teach you everything that you need to know in order to become rich.
