Are You Setting A Plan With Your Goals?
Setting foals is the most important thing to do with anything you do.
But when a PLAN is not developed FAILURE happens.
In order to reach a goal a PLAN must be made on how to reach it.
The first thing you need to do is ask yourself WHY? WHY do I want this goal? How would this goal change my life? What am I willing to give up to achieve this goal? Let me tell you a story, I attend a meet-up group in Brooklyn NY with my business partner.
We created this meet-up group for two reasons.
(1) To gather all Home Based Business Owners together to learn and to share ideas to market and build their business.
(2) To find out how many other reps are in the surrounding areas of our primary opportunity.
After a couple of weeks my business partner spoke to her team leader about our meet-up group.
Before you know it, the next meet-up two people showed up.
They were reps of our primary opportunity and decided to attend.
My business partner and I thought we were the only one in town involved in this opportunity.
After talking to the other reps I asked for them to tell me their goals.
Shier goals were very interesting but one of them caught my attention.
The lady told me her goal was to make $40,000 per month with her primary opportunity.
I then asked, do you see yourself making that kind of money? She stated "YES", I then asked the BIG QUESTION, what is your PLAN to achieve this goal? She stated all the excuses in the book from I don't have a lot of time to devote to my business and my daughter comes first.
Now this is where most FAIL! Now, I'm not saying that family is not important I encourage for you to put your family as a priority.
But when you use them as an excuse to achieve your goal you will FAIL! That lady thought I was NUTS when I told her the amount of work and hours I put into my business every week.
Now, how can she really achieve $40,000 per month in her primary business if she doesn't have a PLAN and have a boat load of excuses.
I'm not discouraging anyone not to set a goal no matter how large it is, but set a realistic one.
As a baby we start to crawl, sit up, stand, walk then RUN.
When do we ever RUN before we learn how to crawl? NEVER! That's what that lady was saying to me.
What you need to do is to set a Realistic goal.
Don't set a goal for $40,000 per month when you haven't made $500.
00 per month yet.
Set a Realistic goal $1,000 per month and then as you reach your goal you can move it up.
But the key thing here is What is your PLAN how you are going to achieve that goal.
Develop a PLAN, ( prospect everyday, connect with 5 people on social networks and connect with 5 people per day Offline) stick to it and you will see a BIG increase in your goal achievement.
