Success Is A Commitment Not An Accident: Focused Goals -- Part III

When you stop calling prospects, making follow-up of prospects, or studying to develop your knowledge and skills to build the business, you are engineering your own future demise by doing nothing. These are the battle that those who are successful win.

The next time you want to procrastinate about prospecting ask yourself this question, what if someone were to pay you $500 to make the calls to each prospect on your list right now? If you will be paid $500 to call every prospect on your list, would it change the way you feel and would you make those calls?

You need to ponder that thought, and just make the calls. Because that is what the long term potential in the network marketing business is all about in 2 to 4 years. Visualize this end result, and it will change the way you feel about your business. It will change your attitude about whether you procrastinate or devote the time to build your business. If you are not calling your prospects and doing the things you know you need to do, you need someone to keep you accountable – someone who will motivate you and push you that little extra step to achieve your goals.

What do you really want out of this business? You need to be absolutely clear about what you want out of this business before you can put anything into the business. You must be clear about what you want before you can decide the money, time and effort to put into the business. The clearer you can visualize your goals the more you will know what you really want from your business and life.

You must first decide what you want and then you must decide what it will take you to get there. Your goals are going to create your focus. You have to focus on the specific results you are working towards. You need to set specific deadlines for your goals. How many people do you want to sponsor every month? If you sponsor just 3 people every month, you will be on your way to turning your dream into reality.

You have to have the persistence to succeed in this business or in any field. Once our goals are focused in our mind, once we understand clearly what we want, our focus will create the energy for us to realize those goals. This new energy will make us excited and happy. Studies show happy and successful people are those who have clear goals and are constantly moving towards bigger goals.
