Yes, I've been setting scary income goals, too! As well as business goals. I want to not only make enough money to support myself in Toronto without my parents' help. I also want to make enough to support a partner and also my aging parents... I'll have to make 6 figures for that to happen LOL. Right now I don't even make mid 5 figures... Still relying on my parents' help. The high business expenses are hard too. But one step at a time. So that sounds super ambitious.
Also I want to find a queerplatonic partner. It's too bad my current crush said no (due to long distance). But I feel a bit more confident after that. It's hard since not that many people are looking for that. But I heard the tip about just explaining what you want to people at the start. I also have a bit of skill and strategy when it comes to using dating apps, so I won't be totally lost in the woods.
Sure, dating apps are scary. But meeting people irl first is even scarier lol. I've experienced quite a lot of BS on the apps already, so I know what to expect, and I am more confident about navigating those forests by now. I have never had a partner in my life. Queerplatonic or otherwise. But that doesn't mean I can't. Definitely a frightening goal but I think it's doable. I just need to keep going and not give up. And keep reflecting on and learning from my mistakes along the way.
I think the trick of it, is to make sure you choose goals that are completely or nearly so, in your power to achieve.
Income and partners aren't always up to us, at least not fully. But checking in with your clients regularly is, for my wife that keeps her top of mind, and they book more sessions. For me I can stick to my running plan and at the end of it I'll probably be fit enough.
You have to put the work in, but again it needs to the kind of problem effort can solve.
