Leadership skills training
O- Objecitve
A- Actions needed to meet weekly objectives
T- Time, how much time will it take? [add 15%, just in case]
S- Schedule it
O – Objectives: What results do you want to see by the end of the week? Write them down and rank them.
A – Activities: What do you have to do to achieve these objectives? List the necessary activities and put them in sequence. Remember, getting to a monthly income of $5,000 takes place over time yet invariable happens for people who focus on it weekly/daily.
T – Time: How much time will each activity require? To plan realistically, allow yourself more time than you think you will actually need. This give you flexibility in unexpected challenges occur.
S – Schedule: Look at your calendar and decide when you want to do each activity. Write it down. Most people underestimate the power of a schedule. The difference between knowing what to do and doing it is wether or not you schedule it.
BONUS: In addition to doing O.A.T.S. weekly, create the habit of cleaning up your desk, line up your work for the next day, review your next days appointments and then read you goals out loud.

Setting up the correct expectation for your home business as you develop your network marketing education is key to being able to consistently take small action steps toward your goals. While you are working toward achieving your goals you are moving forward; however if the expectations you set are too great, then you will begin to feel as if we are failing. Even though you are making great strides in your business.
Most people who join a network marketing company have these really, really big income expectations. Of all the people I’ve asked about their income level goals, most people say either a $5,000 per month or $10,000 per month. I don’t often get too many answers in the middle of these 2 numbers.
What is your current monthly income?
$1,000
$2,000
$3,000
$4,000
If your current income is $1,000 per month, your current mind programming will have a very, very hard time accepting that you are going to achieve an income of $5,000 per month. This is why expectation is key to your success. Set up your income expectations into small bites. As you begin to generate a consistent income of $200 per month, then increase your expectation to $500. Once you increase your consistent income to $500, then move it up to $1,000. As you keep hitting higher consistent income levels, you can raise you expectations and your mind will follow right along with you.
One other area of expectation that is key to your network marketing success is the amount of time you feel it is going to take you to achieve your income levels.
Let me share a quick story with you about a gentlemen I was speaking with recently. I asked him “How much income would he like to be making in a network marketing business to make building one worth his while?” His reply was $10,000 per month. So then I ask him “What time frame would you like to achieve this income level by?” He said 1 years. Then I asked him “How many hours per week are you willing to dedicate to this business to make that happen?” He said 5 hours.
I ask you….”do you believe that this gentlemen is setting himself up for success or failure?”
When I asked him the same question, he agreed. He was setting himself up for failure. Upon further discussion I found out he was currently making $2,000 per month. Together we agreed that a realistic expectation for him would be to dedicate 5 hours a week to his business for 2 years (if he wanted it in 1 year he would need to dedicate 10 hours per week) and create a consistent income of $2,000 per month. Then he could move forward with his numbers from there.
The key is to set up your expectations so that they are more real to you. This will allow your expectations to move you forward instead of overwhelming you and making you feel like a failure as you continue to grow in you network marketing education journey.
Remember, there is no failure —- only feedback.
Expect Success – Debi Talbert
Have you ever experienced a time in your life with a dear loved one struggling to accept change? Change that they want and desire; however as the change is unfolding things are not going quite as expected. You are far far away from where they are; however can feel the tension in their voice, even read it in the written messages you are receiving from them. From where you are, thousand of miles away, all you can do is listen to their stories of the struggle, encourage them to take action in the direct to make things easier for them. Action steps that will help them feel empowered even among all the things taking place around them that they have zero power over.
At the same time your loved one is experiencing the struggle you yourself are having some struggles of your own. After all the changes taking place are not just happening to them, you too are affected by the change. A change that you encouraged them to take, a move in life you knew would be one that may never ever come up for them again. You are now thousands of miles away from them. You are home alone while they are away on an adventure. Home alone, when you are usually the one “leaving on a jet plane”.
Hopefully the picture I posted on Wordless Wednesday this week shows him experiencing the exotic beauty of empowerment. The peace, joy and acceptance on the other side of the struggle. Enjoying a once in the life time adventure.
I could tell by our conversations that he was taking empowering steps for himself, even though the circumstances have not really changed. When I got this picture from him last week I knew for sure he had his power back. The sparkle in his eyes and the relaxed smile on this face gave me such pleasure.
