Hey everyone so I am currently reading a book called Million dollar habits. And its a lot of the same stuff you will find in these sort of books like set goals daily, write them down all the time, etc. My first question is, is it the right time to do it now? I am asking because I know what I need to accomplish and that's finish this project I am working on. I am trying to understand for my particular scenario, why its important. Other daily tasks I do are reading, and doing some marketing stuff for my project.

And the second question I have is this the correct way to set a broad goal. My overall goal is to become a millionaire eventually. I wanted to ask is this the correct way of thinking when setting a goal like becoming rich? First I decide how much money I want ----> then decide when I want it by ---> then decide how I will get there ----> I decided the path I will take to get there is building a business that will provide value to millions of people, then go from there and start working on the idea. Is this the correct line of thinking?
