Where would you like to be with your business at the end of this 5 week course?
Consistent structure for host coaching. Organized and more efficient with my time.

Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2010?
a BALANCED biz where I am supporting the team and maintaining a solid 6 shows a month

Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2011?
SD and a solid team working independantly and consistently
 
* Where would you like to be with your business at the end of this 5 week course? Booking more shows each month & filling my calender with bookings off of shows. Overcoming my shyness and promoting PC more while i'm out & about running errands etc.

* Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2010? I already have one recruit, id like to have 2 more & obtain and be able to maintain the title of TL

* Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2011?
Still TL, consistent sales each month of $1000+, 3 parties a week:)
 
Great goals everyone. When I did the step up class with my director, it was my most successful time with PC. I was consistently booking the needed shows to fill up my weekly sheet. It's funy how the little incentives can sometimes really motivate us. If it works for us, great! I recently had some reluctant readers in one of my reading groups (I'm a teacher). Once I set personal goals for these students, showed them the stickers they would get for returning books everyday, and the buttons they WOULD earn when they reached their January reading goal, they were totally committed! They were grabbing books left and right to show me they COULD reach this goal. There was never a "maybe you'll get there". It was WHEN you reach it.
 
My goals are very detailed but in the past I have always been broad and had trouble creating a plan so I am trying something new lol

In 5 Weeks
- I want to have had 2-3 October shows (I currently have none)
- Have 1 recruit (I dont know if this is possible but hey lets shoot high)
- Get to the point where I am making 2 contacts a day and at least 10 No's a week
- Get to the point where I am more comfortable talking about PC to strangers in a way that is natural
- Have 4-6 shows a month booked for Nov and Dec
By the end of 2010:
- 1-2 recruits
- Have accomplished at least the second level of SAT in Nov
- Have 4-6 shows a month booked for Jan and Feb
- Earn the Free apron and help get my sister in law (who is hosting in Dec) the sales to earn the apron

By the end of 2011:
- Hit 15,000 in sales before Spring confrence
- Go to National confrence in the summer ( I was prego this last confrence)
- have at least 4 new recruits and possibly become a director
- have a full calander (4-6 shows a month)
- Earn the highest level of free products for fall 2011
 
Thanks again for doing this.

Where would you like to be with your business at the end of this 5 week course?
Work my business more consistently so that I have more bookings, more consistent Host Coaching, Out of the Box Calls, Master recruiting interviews
Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2010? Add $6,000 to my sales so that I reach $15,000; Fill my calendar for January and February 2011; Have a qualified recruit; list of 100 for leads for both Hosts and Recruits
Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2011? $1250-$1500 per month consistently; Out of debt; Downpayment on a new vehicle for my business.

Thanks again.

I spent a VERY long time trying to post all the goals in the main thread & then got an error message that the post was too long. :(

Oh, well. I tried!

If you are not on the list on page 1, or if you've not sent me your e-mail address to receive the call in number, you need to do that ASAP!!!

The call-in information has been sent to everyone's e-mail. If you sent me your e-mail address & are not seeing the information, check your spam folders! If you wanted to participate & have not yet provided an e-mail address, e-mail me ASAP! It's much easier for me to hover over your e-mail address in Yahoo & add you to my contacts than it is to copy & paste all of your information over to Yahoo from a PM here ... and less likely that I'll make a typo! ;)

After each call, there is a slight delay but the conference service will notify me of the location for the call's recording. When I receive the information, I'll forward the link to all the participants. If you were unable to call in, called in late or had to leave the call early, you will have the opportunity to do the play-back to see what you missed.

Each of you are setting personal goals for what results you would like at the end of the class. Yes, putting them out there for everyone to see should help you to be a bit more motivated. ;) I hope that each of you are successful in achieving the goals that you have set for yourself. But in order to achieve your goals, you have to dedicate yourself to participate and to do your assignments each week! ;)

Oh, and I love seeing the "I will ..." comments on your goals! Anyone can "want", it takes a firm commitment to "do"!!! :D

Where would you like to be with your business at the end of this 5 week course?

I would like to have one show booked for each week
Develop a more consistent customer care schedule

Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2010?

Team Leader (now Sr. Consultant)

Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2011?
Director
2-3 shows a week
Strong team that I can help to develop and help them achieve their goals
 
I've gone from working 2 jobs down to working 1 job so I'm glad to have more time to put towards my PC business.

My goals:
* Where would you like to be with your business at the end of this 5 week course?
I would like to be doing 3-4 shows a month.
* Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2010? I would like to expand my customer base and book more shows.

* Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2011? I would like to have a consistent show schedule and build up my online orders.

I love that I'm able to make my own schedule and work my PC business around my work schedule.

My biggest challenge is that I don't have a set schedule so it is sometimes hard to book shows more than a month away. I also have some phone phobia that I need to work on getting over. I'm ready to get my business up and running again and to be more consistent.

* Where would you like to be with your business at the end of this 5 week course?

I am hoping to feel more confident about recruiting by the end of this course. I would like to learn some tricks to maintain my show schedule and continue to improve on my host coaching. I am concerned that I took too much on this month...August-2 shows, September-3 shows, October-10 booked shows (plus all the activities that come with 5 kids, lol).* Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2010?
I am really hoping to be a Director by the end of the year, and I would love to have earned the Toronto trip.* Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2011?
I would like to be a well established Director working toward Advanced Director. I would like to have attended conference, and definite want to earn a Destination Trip for my family.
 
Where would you like to be with your business at the end of this 5 week course?

I am a brand new consultant, so at the end of this course, I would like to be continually booking shows, doing 2 shows per week and really getting my business going!!


Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2010?

At the end of 2010, I would like to be earning $1000 per month, and staying consistent with my business.


Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2011?

At the end of 2011, I would like to have moved up within the company as a team leader or director, and I would love to have earned enough money to return to culinary school part time or more!!
 
Where would you like to be with your business at the end of this 5 week course?

I hit my 90 day at the end of September, so now is the time to keep the momentum going strong. Specifically, I'd like to have at least 7 shows booked for November. I really want to reach the $3000 level for the Sellathon, but I think $1500 might be more realistic.

Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2010?

I would like to be at a point where my shows are being scheduled on a more consistent basis. I've gone through some "dry patches" in my calendar and I'd like to improve that.

Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2011?

I would love to reach my $15,000 in career sales by the end of 2011. (At this point, I have a little over $12,000 to go.)

elyrian: I'll PM you.

Scott, I'm so sorry! I put you in the system, but clicked the wrong "buddy group", that's why you didn't get the e-mail that I sent out. I've corrected it & you should receive all future e-mails related to this class.

Thanks Debbie!

So sad. I did make some calls (to mostly grumpy folks on a Sunday evening) to make used of my time, left messages, no bookings yet.

I feel bad! I had so many requests all coming at me from different directions, most with missing info so I was having to request the basics. I've just been innundated with requests over the last couple of days! I hope I have it all straight now. I counted & found someone else not on the group e-mails (pdean98) and that's now been corrected too. Hopefully I have everyone on there now that requested to be on the e-mail list!
 
I would love to join this class!!! I so need it! My director is no help at all!

My e-mail address is [email protected]. I will try my best to participate on the calls (hoping to be able to stay awake that long ;) ). Otherwise I will then do the playback. (Will need playback info for last night's class) sorry I didn't get to this until now. Got Greg's e-mail on Friday, but had to unplug the computer over the weekend to clean up water in the basement.

Where would you like to be with your business at the end of this 5 week course?
I would like to be consistent with making 3-2-1 and have a full calendar. (At the very least, 6 shows a month, booked and held).


Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2010?

I'd like to end the year with a full and consistent calendar and be at least a Team Leader, on my way to directorship.

Where would you like to be with your business at the end of 2011?
I'd like to walk as Director, and make enough so that I don't have to work anywhere else.

My main challenge to help me make these goals is consistently working on my business through time management.
