Set Goals, Get Going!

I have learned that setting goals is the ONLY way to accomplish anything. I set goals everyday concerning just about everything I do. In my home I will make a list of things I need to accomplish and the things I would like to accomplish. Some are big (like cleaning out a closet) some are small (like emptying the dishwasher). Big or small, I make a list and cross them off as soon as they are complete. What ever is not completed, I move to the next day. Which, is usually a large number of things on my list. I find major satisfaction in crossing things off that list and I do a little dance each time I can put pen to paper with a big check mark. In business, it is the same. Every month, week and day, I set goals and tackle them as efficiently as I can. Without goals, I would be running in circles, overwhelmed not knowing where to start, finding myself wasting time just trying to figure out what is manageable. Sunday nights are my "goal nights." I sit and make a manageable list of what I can do everyday to grow my business, help my team and serve my customers. Everyday is dedicated to completing pieces of the puzzle to help complete the whole. I set personal and team goals and fill in the tasks to reach those goals. This month I am hard at work trying to meet my personal best in volume. I am trying to hit the next rank and promotion. I have lined up a booked as many parties as I can as well as featuring specials and contacting previous customers for reorders. My month has not gone as planned. I had 3 hostess cancel parties (super bummer) but, I am not letting it get me down! After all, it is part of the business and some months will be better then others. This business is a "team" sport so in order to hit my next rank, I need my "sisters" to hit their next ranks. Reaching out to my team is piece #2. I am helping others book and run launch parties, run training's and conference calls and helping to answer questions with the goal of serving them in building their business's. I have high priority in helping one of my fabulous ladies reach the incentive trip. Busy, busy, stay the course. Accomplish what you can, never give up. Realize that there are ups and downs. Celebrate the victories, acknowledge the short comings, regroup, re-plan and GET TO WORK!
