Yes. You can have as many goals as you want, but there should be an ultimate overall goal that steers the ship, and helps you determine all the other goals that you should set along the way. However, there are three things to identify:

1) What is my overall goal in life? How do I define prosperity for me?

2) Do each of the smaller goals contribute to my overall prosperity goal?

3) Which goals must wait until the urgent, priority goals are accomplished?

Other goals may help you reach the main prosperity goal, or if you're not careful, they can distract you away from it. Contradictory goals will cause you to spin your wheels.

Every one of your goals may be important and good, but timing is important. When I was first married, it was my goal to stay home from work when we began our family. So without knowing how we'd do it, and expecting a windfall miracle to make it financially possible, I quit work and stayed home with my baby for that first year.

A miracle showed up, but it wasn't the one we were looking for. It showed up as hardships, debt, and my husband eventually losing his job. It would be another decade before I'd look back with gratitude for the struggles we endured. The "miracle" was that we could, and would be given the strength to handle the mess, and that eventually we'd rise above it and share with others what we had learned.

The goal to stay home with the children never changed. To me, that was one important representation of what prosperity meant to me. But our order of priorities had to change for a while before we could enjoy the privilege of having a mother in the home.

My ultimate goal had more to do with how I wanted my LIFE to turn out when all was said and done. A family rich in relationships and fulfilment better defines prosperity to me than a fat checkbook. Watch how this all comes together:

As I'd picture how I wanted my children to turn out, it made me want to be home with them.

In order for me to be home with them, I desperately wanted a passive income which would be there whether or not something happened to my husband, or if I became physically unable to work.

We set dates for our lifestyle goals based on what we wanted in place by the time they were teenagers. Instead of waiting until they were teenagers for me to make a contribution, I worked at odd hours with piles of laundry all around, learning real estate strategies, stock market strategies, book writing and site development skills, typing one handed with a baby on my lap and preschoolers on the floor with cut-up paper and coloring books strewn around, so that I'd be free by the time they were adolescents to finally give them all the attention they'd need me to give.

Set as many goals as you'd like, and know that you will not focus on all of them at the same time with the same intensity. You must put them in priority order and tackle them with laser focus one at a time. You'll create a goal statement for each one of them (as outlined in The Jackrabbit Factor). And then you'll pick the one that is most important and urgent, and you'll spend your energy (mental and otherwise) on making daily progress toward its accomplishment.

The other goals will be written and posted where you'll see them now and again, but your main focus is on the ONE. That is not to say that in any given day you will not work on more than one. But no matter which goal you're working on, at that time be 100% focused on it...like a laserbeam.

A lightbulb will brighten a room, but a laserbeam will cut through steel like a hot knife in butter. Both are good, but only laser focus has the power to accomplish the tough stuff. If you have a lot of wonderful goals in mind but you are not truly focused on any one of them, you are like a gently shining lightbulb. Plants will grow, and you'll keep people from stubbing their toe, but no steel will bend for you.

What if there are too many things that are urgent? What if your mind is in a fog because there are too many demands bombarding you?

Put it on paper to get it OUT of your head, so you can look at all of it objectively, without emotion. Relax, and you'll instinctively know which one needs your attention first. Trust that things will all work out if you just keep doing your best. If something falls through the cracks, be at peace knowing you're doing your best, and that it's all perfect just as it is. There is good that will come from even the failings.
