Goals

Most people know that one of the keys to success is having goals.

However, it's not usually enough to just have those goals in your head. You need your goals somewhere where you'll be reminded of them regularly.

The first step is to write your goals down.

Then review them regularly, update them if you want to. The more specific your goals, the more effective they'll be.

Make them SMART goals:

• Specific
• Measurable
• Achievable
• Relevant
• Timed

You can believe it or ignore it - setting goals will play a big part in your motivation and hence success.

What's the alternative?

My 'Why' has many parts and they all motivate me to keep going and stick at the business.

One of them is what I call 'What's the alternative'?

Often when I speak to people about the business, they recoil when I suggest that they should look at this as a 2-4 year business and that they should give it at least a year before they try to judge whether it's working or not.

And this might be a 30-year old with potentially 35 years or more left to retire!! Go figure...

I know that MLM is my best chance of achieving my goals and semi-retiring (i.e. kick the 9-5 into touch) before I'm too wrinkly.

I have 25 years till I would retire naturally on a pittance.

With this business, I know I'll have total time-freedom in just a few years.

Remembering the alternative is one way I keep myself moving forwards!
