Correct. Affiliate Marketers need clear goals.

I would add that these very clear goals should be split in smaller, easier to achieve partial goals - especially because we are speaking about Affiliate Marketing which is a heavily bugged domain by get rich over night things.

You might not be able to split the goals in: "this year I will have my Porsche first wheel" but then again, willing to have the entire Porsche in the first year is deceiving and against it's purpose.

On the other hand, you'll see that people change their minds about their goals - that's why most try to translate their goals in money - money can be used for any other goals might appear.

Also, focused motivation might not work for everybody. Some people just want to get at home, have a beer and watch TV.

Nevertheless, it's a very motivational article - especially for affiliates wannabe that tend to be discouraged because wrongly setting their goals.
