Playing Your Numbers

The other day I shared some thoughts about goals. When it comes right down to it, goals are simply a numbers game. If you want to make more money, you have to work more hours or sell more gizmos or invent more things. If you want to change your body, you have to eat differently and exercise more. If you want more time with family, you have to make the time. If you want to publish more books, you have to write more words. If you want to grow your audience online, you have to post more creative, engaging content.

Yes, playing numbers also applies to goals that can be more difficult to measure like being more creative. If you want to infuse more creativity into your life, you have to capture more of your seemingly random thoughts or sparks of genius by writing them down and then giving them more attention.

It's all a numbers game. How will you play your numbers?
