Once again, today's article is a great one- I hope it helps
Subject: Are you serious about your business or are you seriously playing office?
Today’s email will focus on moving your business ahead. Do you have goals or are you just waiting to see how it goes?
Think about this for a moment…you get in your car, turn on the ignition, back out of your driveway and put the car in drive. Do you press the accelerator and then hope to end up somewhere, waiting to see where the car takes you? Most likely not, but that’s the best word picture we can give you to illustrate where you will end up if you are working your business without a “destination” in mind.
Goal setting can be frightening because what happens if you don’t make your goal? No one wants to be a failure, right? However, if you have no goal at all, then you’ve gone nowhere. There’s a saying you may have heard before. It goes like this, “Shoot for the moon and you’ll always be among the stars.” If you get part of the way to a goal, aren’t you further than if you were working towards nothing at all?
OK, so, enough preaching…if your goal is to seriously make move up your career plan and make more money this fall, then here are some practical tips (in no particular order)
Turn OFF the TV!
Put away clutter
Get your “why” in place – how much extra income would you like and what would that mean to you and/or your family? Get concrete with this; take a picture of your kids on the couch you want to buy, go shopping for the car you want and figure out what the monthly payments will be.
Share your goal with your family; post a picture of the couch/car/Disney World; whatever, on your fridge
Break down your goal into bite-sized doable chunks and post a chart to track your progress.
Take 10-15 minutes a day to read a motivational book or listen to a tape. Visit our website The Success Factory : Direct Sales and Party Plan #1 Source and shop if you like!
Envision yourself being recognized for promoting in rank; you may even want to glue your face on a picture of someone else being recognized on stage for the rank you want to move to!
Take time each day to exercise and pray!
Become a better listener
Think about how you can help others on your team to move ahead. What’s in it for them?
Sit in front at meetings and take notes. Even if you think you know the material, take notes with the idea of teaching your team.
Take advice from people in your company who are where you want to be.
Stay positive, never dump down or dump to your spouse. If you are having a challenge, talk with your upline but be “solution oriented”.
Keep in perspective what you can and what you cannot change.
You can’t control weather, economy or attitudes or whether people decide to buy or not to buy from you.
You can control how much you choose to work, how well you take care of yourself physically and whether you choose to be positive and thankful in all things.
Don’t wait until the last minute to prepare. Have a daily list of things to do and calls to make.
Front-end load your business each month. If you plan to have the sales and recruits needed in by the 20th you have the last third of the month to “celebrate and fix”!
Instead of filling your day with whatever happens to come along, do your best to take control by having a plan and working the plan (knowing that with kids there ALWAYS needs to be a “Plan B”!)
Stephen Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People reminds us to begin with the end in mind. So, TSF encourages you today to change your mindset. Stop shuffling papers, playing office and hoping to end up somewhere. Have fun, dream a little, make a plan and then go for it. Who knows where you’ll end up, but to be sure you’ll be further ahead than you were by just “waiting and seeing”.
