Setting Goals

In this business of in home party sales, it's easy to not be a team player.  I focus on my own goals--what sales do I want to reach? how many recruits do I want? how much do I want in team sales?  However, I've discovered that if I have goals, and my team doesn't, it doesn't matter. 

How important are goals?  Very.  Research shows that only 10% of people set goals.  Of that, 90% of the those that set goals reach them and the other 10% come close to reaching.  If you come to my home, you will see a chalkboard where I write the monthly goals I have.  Here is March:

Lose 12 pounds--I'm at 9!!!  (wohoo--when you see me, give me a piece of chocolate--kidding!)
Sell $3200--I'm at $1700
Recruit 3--I'm at 2
Team sales of $11,000--We're at $6600 with 2 weeks remaining
Have one manager step up--is this you?

What are you doing to set and reach goals?  Sure it's easy to say, "Well, I hope I get there." But hoping and doing are two different things.  First, decide what you want from your life and then second write it down.  Having a visual is so important.  It serves as a reminder of what you want.  So write it down and achieve!
