Creating business and personal goals is one of the key ingredients. Creating a business without goals is like being expected to go for a drive in someone's car without knowing the destination of your trip. (You wouldn't step into the car in the first place). Goals require you to be concise, factual and specific with what results you want to achieve in the short and the long term. Once the goals are decided, it's important to remind yourself of your goals either by reading or listening to them daily. Goals are important because they help give you a purpose and result to aim for.Writing your goals once and never referring to them again does not serve you well because your subconscious mind needs to hear a message more than once. If you repeatedly tell your subconscious about your goals you will start to automatically take more specific action naturally to help you achieve them. This is the reason why creating specific and concise goals helps you steer your actions in the right direction and the power of understanding how the mind works helps you to tap into your goals so you are more likely to achieve them.
The discipline of Time Management helps you ensure you have the right focus on the activities that are going to create the most return for your business. Please note, no one can 'manage' time. Its impossible, no one can create more time or less time. We all have to accomplish the most we can do in the 24 hours we are give. It's our attitude and emotions around certain activities that we have to be mindful of.
People say it all the time, 'Oh, I am so busy'. Its easy to be busy and spend hours in front of the computer. A high level example would group all business related activities into two types of activities; sales generating activities and non-sales generating activities. Spending one hour on Facebook would be a non-sales generating activity. Creating an Ad Campaign or creating a Press Release.
You have to keep yourself accountable for the length of time you spend on each activity and how you prioritize them. This may sound like a drag but it's the way you deal with your time that makes or breaks your business. Allocating time for work and play is great because there should be no guilt if you need to have time off from your business because you are sure that you are being extremely productive when you are working.
A Network Marketer needs to have the same intensity, passion and drive to their business as an athlete has in preparing for the Olympics or a high paying CEO of a large company has on the success of their organization. A Network Marketer has to know what they are aiming for, understand what they have to do to achieve their goals and keep themselves accountable for all actions they take to help them deal with challenges and achieve their goals.
