So what is your reason for taking this trip? Do you simply want to enjoy the scenery, or do you have a sick relative waiting for you on the other end? The importance of your trip will determine the commitment you put forth from the start to the end.

Did you know that there are people in this business making several hundreds of thousands of dollars each year, and they did it in less then ten years! They have no fancy degree, they simply had a reason. You need to know your reason.

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!

Associate and ATTEND MEETINGS

Your upline will hold a business meeting – you need to be there if its provided, there is something you will probable need – could be valuable information or additional training. Remember they’re here to help you get what you want. Sounds hard, but if your business is not important to you; Why should it be important to anyone else?

Dream Build And Teach Others to Do The Same

Dream build yourself and dream build with your ladies – remind them of their goals. Remember if you don’t have a reason for doing this you probably won’t and neither will your ladies. Visualize the result of your efforts. Put a list of how you see your life on the fridge (pictures work great)> Are you living in the house of your dreams, driving the car you desire or the car you can afford? Remember if you don’t want anything from life – that’s probably what you’ll get.

Dont Prejudge Anyone!

Some people have the seeds of greatness already within them; perhaps they simply needed a vehicle to achieve those goals. It would be a shame if you passed up a Executive Unit Leader because you decided they didn’t have what it takes! Get out there and talk to everyone, remember that busy people are usually the ones that get things done!

Be Patient!

Rome wasn’t built in a day! And neither will your Avon business. Think of it this way – you can generate as much income as a doctor we know that, what we forget is that doctor wasn’t doing surgery his first week of med school!
First you work – then you play, have faith and build, but remain realistic – remember our goals both shot term and long term. This thought process is known as delayed gratification.

Challenge Your Upline!

Can you build a more successful money making business than you upline? Absolutely. Your upline sets the pace as will you, we encourage our ladies to aspire to greatness – but keep in mind you will need to get up early in the morning to outdo your upline! This of coarse requires you have a motivated upline. If you are faced with (dead wood) headed up, then I would work your way upline until you find a leader that will work with you. In other words if the person that signed you if of no help find the lady that signed her, perhaps all you need if a word of encouragement.
