Hitting the Target

On February 16, 2010, in Uncategorized, by Debi Talbert

There is an old saying that repetition is the key to success. I believe that repetition without a goal does not mean anything. I like to ask myself some simple questions when setting up my action plan.

First I ask myself  “What are Your Goals”?   What I am referring to here is my mid to shot term goals. For example, my mid term goal is to have my network marketing income equal my current income at my job.

Second, I give myself a time frame to reach that goal. When would I like to accomplish the goal. Back to my example of having my network marketing income be equal my income from my job. My time frame for this is by the end of 2012.

From this point I can start to break the goal down. I begin with the end in mind. What steps am I going to have to take TODAY to build toward my goal.

I first find out what it is going to take to reach my goal. I check with people who have already achieved the goal to get some ideas on what actions I’ll need to take. In the example of matching my income, I know I am going to need to add at least one new personal a month to my team. Either one customer that is on the refill program or one new business partner.

Next I ask myself, How many hours am I willing to dedicate to reaching my goal? For example, I know that the minimum number of hours I need to dedicate to my network marketing income is 10 hours a week.

Now I find out what activities I need to do during those 10 hours to reach my desired outcome. From this point I can apply the repetition that will bring me success.

I like to choose 3 activities that I will do ever single day. Once I have set the goal with the time frame, I leave it alone. I no longer think of it. Yes, the goal is in my subconscious; however now I keep my focus on the daily activities that I will do to reach my goal.

What is going to keep me consistent with these activities is my overall burning desire, the drive and purpose behind the original goal. Everybody knows that life can get crazy. So in order for me to not let life get in my way, my purpose must be stronger than the pull of life’s craziness.

Your power lies in taking action. I encourage you to empower yourself and take action on something you read here today. What can I do to help you?
