Statistics show that 95% - 97% of the people in the world do NOT have goals that are written down, and they fail to reach their goals, while 3-5% of the people have written goals and succeed.

My question is, do you currently have goals? That is, a list of say 5 things that you have committed yourself to doing? These are things that you will do, in specific terms, by a specific date? For instance, if you are in network marketing and you want to reach the next level to qualify for better commissions, you would need to write down that level you are trying to achieve, as well as, the specific date in which you want to achieve this goal.

To help you achieve your goals, you will need to do 3 things:

1. First, get a Notebook and write down your goals, each goal on it's own sheet of paper.

2. Then make a detailed itemized list under each goal of everything you can think of that will help you achieve that goal. It might be 10 things, or maybe 50. It just depends on how big the goal is.

3. The 3rd step is transferring those specific items to a "to do" list one or two at a time (from each goal) each day. Cross them off as you complete them. If you can't finish all of the tasks for that day, transfer them to the next days "to do list".

It takes at least 21-30 days to form a habit. So once you have gotten used to making your "to do" lists each day and faithfully cross off the accomplished tasks, this will become 2nd nature to you, and soon you will see yourself accomplishing your goals at record speed. The key is only put on your "to do" list what you think you can realistically accomplish for that day.

Once you achieve 1 of the goals, replace it with another goal. Add new ones along the way, as you become more disciplined towards accomplishing those goals. This is definitely not Rocket Science. It is just defining what you want to achieve in life, putting your words in writing and then transferring those words into actions.

If you are having a hard time figuring out where to start, always start with the most important goal or most urgent need. Then make your sub-list of all of those things required to make the goal achievable. Most people need motivation to start working towards something. Your motivation in trying to achieve this goal, will help form the habits to help you reach your future goals. Once you establish this pattern, your life will forever be changed.

As a network marketer, this is a valuable tool to teach and train your sales force. They will see you accomplishing your goals and will want to know your secret. You can share with them the easy steps of goal setting. Soon your sales force will explode for everyone on your team achieving their dreams and goals.
