Goal Setting

1. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Instead of saying, "I am going to do 4 deluxes this week!" Instead do something that you feel is possible but will take a consistent effort on your part.

2. Be specific in your timeline and goal. Don't just say, "I am going to sign up 20 people for preferred websites." Instead say what you are going to do in numbers and make sure there is a time line...Like it will be done today, this week, or this month. That way when you feel like not doing it you are reminded of the urgency in your goal.

3. Post your resolutions where you will see them every day. This will keep the resolution in the front of your mind at all times. Instead of forgetting that you are supposed to share the company with these people you will be reminded of your goals. It will help your will beat your desire to do nothing.

4. Find an encouraging person, who you respect, to keep you accountable. The goal sheet is excellent for this as well as your expert. Make sure to fill it out every night or you are making it difficult for anyone to help you.

5. Find a team of people heading in the same direction. You want your dreams and goals to be something you feel is possible and that others are on that journey with you. That is why we are so fortunate to be working together. When fighting for your goals becomes more common than doing nothing you are more than half way there. This is what the trainings can provide for you.

6. Write down a list of all of the benefits that will come if you accomplish this. This will help you see what you will get from accomplishing your resolution. All the benefits!! These will help you through the tough times that are present in any worthwhile goal. They will make those tough times seem super small if you are focused on the results. How will financial freedom feel? Time freedom? Travel? Donating to worthwhile causes and people? Thinking about all of that it's hard not to stay focused.

7. Plan a reward if you accomplish your resolution. It can be anything from small to large. It could be a gold star on a board. A movie, a walk in the park, anything....
