Purpose - Short And long Term Goals

If you have no reason for doing this or you don’t know what it is why would you do it? We’ll break this into short term realistic goals and some lofty long term goals.

My Short Term Goals for Next Week Are: (examples)

1. Complete contact sheet and understand provided info.
2. Watch the DVD or VHS video Successful people of Avon (with your husband/kids or perhaps your best friend.
3. Start reading any book on the power of positive thinking.
4. Put your long term dreams in front of you (tape them to the fridge).
5. Read over the material your upline provided in your start up kit.

These are just some ideas, how much effort are you going to put into this? Remember the harder you work the sooner you will get where you want to be. Look at it this way if you had to travel to the other side of the country how would you want to travel. – By foot, bicycle car, train, or by plane?
In order to complete the trip you’d have to know the route wouldn’t you? I mean; that would be the smart thing to do, sit down figure out where you need to stop for rest, for gas, are there construction problems ahead? The more informed you are the easier your trip. Imagine if you had someone traveling ahead of you that was providing you with the information you needed to make the trip – be real easy wouldn’t it?
Not if you had no reason for going – This is why so many people fail, they have no reason for going. They sit in their own little world, and miss out on the adventure of the trip! Remember this – it’s not the final destination that’s the reward; the fun in the trip is getting there! So what are you going to do this week?

I think this trip analogy works pretty well for our purposes, so we’ll continue; Imaging if you were driving on this trip if you had a co-driver. You know somebody to assist you in the driving, someone to help change a tire that sort of thing. Imagine it you had help, you’d get to your destination that much faster and you’d have company along the way. Wouldn’t it be a shame if your significant other missed out on the trip? (Your upline has enjoyed some wonderful trips – one was an all expense cruise to Alaska – shame she went alone)! The point is this, try to get your husband or boyfriend involved with the business, between the two of you can enjoy the ride together!
