Want more money? If so, how much do you want? The devil is in the details, so make sure you know down to the dollar how much you want to earn. Specifics make your goals real.

Put another way, you’d never set a goal for “a car.” Considering the number of makes, models, price ranges, colors and years of all the cars out there, how would you ever reach that goal? Would you be happy to get any car? Doesn’t that leave too much up to chance?
