Goals

You could write a whole book just on goals as there are so many parts to touch on. To keep it simple, I want to address the power of written goals, because without them, how do you know where you are going?

"Before you can score you must first have a goal"

You will hear on every sales deck around the world in January
"I am going to write $$$ million this year"
"I am going to sell xxx weeks this year"
"I am going to be number 1 this year"


A goal properly set is halfway reached. - Abraham Lincoln

It is ok just saying what you want to achieve for the year, but it is a proven fact that it is TEN times more powerful if you write your goals down

When Olympic decathlon gold medalist Bruce Jenner asked a room full of Olympic hopefuls if they had a list of written goals, everyone raised their hands. When he asked how many of them had that list with them right that moment, only one person raised their hand. That person was Dan O'Brien. And it was Dan O’ Brien who went on to win the gold medal in the decathlon at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Don't underestimate the power of setting goals, writing them down and constantly reviewing them.

DO YOU HAVE THIS YEARS GOALS LIST ON YOU RIGHT NOW?

ARE YOU ON TARGET TO ACHIEVE WHAT YOU WANTED THIS YEAR OVER AND BEYOND?

OR HAS IT BEEN AN AVERAGE YEAR AND YOU FEEL YOU JUST HAVE NOT HAD THE RIGHT CLIENTS?

DOES YOUR MIND SAY "I DON'T NEED TO WRITE THEM DOWN I KNOW WHAT I AM GOING TO ACHIEVE" IF SO, ARE YOU THE NUMBER 1 OR EVEN IN THE TOP 3 ON YOUR SALES LINE?

"Goals that are not written down are just wishes.......FACT!!!!"
