Hi Business Owners/Sales Professionals and Managers,
Wow, 2013 is rapidly drawing to a close and the 2014 is looming large. Where did the time go? As you reflect back on this year how did you do? Did you achieve all of the goals and dreams you had? Were you proactive in all areas of your life or were you reacting as life happened?
Hey Tim, why are you asking this?
Great question, here’s why.
Right now is the perfect time to reflect and be proactive for 2014. To help you with this, here’s a SMART approach to get you moving. So relax, go to a quiet place, grab your favorite beverage, and reflect on what’s happened as you plan your future.
Are you ready? Good!!
S = SPECIFIC. Once you’ve determined how you did this year, let’s layout your goals for 2014. This will be 3-5 specific goals that you will accomplish. What will your income be? How big of an organization will you have? What will you do with your family? You get the idea. What’s important to YOU? The more specific you are the better you’ll see your objective.
M = MEASURABLE. This is where the rubber meets the road. It’s not enough to say “I want to make more money.” How much will you make? Each goal must be quantifiable. When you look at your goal(s), how will you know if you’re moving in the right direction or have achieved it? Take a look at where you are at now and where you want to end at next year. The difference between the two is the GAP that must be bridged. Knowing what that is will allow us to work together and know what to do.
A = ACTION. What are the actions steps needed to accomplish these goals? Do you know what to do? ARE WE ON TRACK IN ASSISTING YOU ATTAINING YOUR GOALS AND MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION OR DO WE NEED TO RAMP IT UP? Is there anyone else that you need to get support from? What are you willing to sacrifice or set aside on a temporary basis to allow you to accomplish taking these actions?
R = REASON. First, let’s visualize it’s December 31st 2014 and we are celebrating your victories because you’ve successfully achieved every goal you’ve set. HOW DO YOU FEEL? Write that feeling out. Make it so vivid that you can SEE, FEEL, HEAR, TASTE and SMELL IT. This is awesome. Make it that way.
Second, it’s December 31st 2014 and you haven’t fulfilled any of your goals – OUCH. Write out how you’d feel. Are you OK with that?
T – TIMELINE. Now, layout your timeline for accomplishing each goal. Break this down by quarter, month, week and day. This will act as your road map on your 2014 journey to keep you focused and on track and it will allow me to assist you in maintaining that focus.
Once you’ve finished this exercise then what? File it away? NO!! First, put it where you can see it everyday. Carry your goals with you, share them only with those who will support your effort and encourage your success. Send a copy to your active upline. This will allow us to be constantly checking each area so by next December we’ll be toasting your accomplishments.
If you are dead serious about making 2014 your best ever, do the following:
1- Do a Yearend Review and honestly identify where you are strong and where you need to improve.
2- Schedule a complimentary session with me or one of Our Coaches so we can help you to set your improvement plan to help you reach your 2014 plan.
3- Begin your 2014 Business plan. If you want us to help you develop and set your vision Contact Us today and we will send you your 2014 Business plan as well.
My desire for you is that you have a most blessed Christmas & Holiday season and that 2014 will be your best year ever.
Be Awesome,
Coach Tim
