2011 GOALS

No matter how this year was for you… next year can be even better.
If it was great, you can parlay that success to make next year truly
extraordinary. If it was less than great, this is your chance to punch the
reset button and start fresh.
When the page flips on the calendar and you wake up on January 1… THAT
could be the day… the first day of your BEST YEAR EVER.
A new year gives you that chance… the promise that no matter what’s happened
in the past or where you are today, you can recreate yourself. You can decide that
THIS IS IT… THIS IS the year you set out to accomplish your dreams. THIS IS
the year you live the life you were meant to live.
You can design this year to be your best year yet. How? There is a formula.
We all have the ability to achieve the seemingly impossible. The key is properly
inciting your creative power, revving up your inner drive, and channeling your
focus over a sustained period. It’s all about setting goals.
If you came short on your goals like most people did, like most people have , what are you going to do different this year in order to achieve them?
We have 62 days before this year is over, start putting together your list now,do not wait until December 31st to put together some half baked list with ridiculous goals.
Have 3 main goals
1) Personal/Spiritual
2) Professional
3) Fitness
Then have sub-goals for each category, give them a time line , but please do not write December 30th on them,you want to be done with your goals by December 1 so that you can start preparing for January 1.
I achieved 75% of my goals so far, my fitness is where I lagged because i focused on my personal and my professional , its OK , for many years I focused so much on my fitness that the 2 other areas of my life suffered.
I'm writing down my list.....Are you?

TIME WASTERS

Whether you work for a salary or hourly or even your own business, wasting time is a sign of weakness and a definite sign of non commitment to your own cause.
Sabotaging yourself is a sure way to failure, if you make 50-75K and lets say you work only 8 hrs a day ( if you're at 70K and up you are working longer hours,but let's say 8) your hourly rate is between $30-$40 dlls an hour, ask yourself this : would anybody payme 330 dlls an hour to do what i'm doing right now?
Hey we all do from time to time, the problem is when this is a habit and you do it often, don't let ytour mind wander , when you are at work wherever you are be there 100%
In sales , we make our own hourly rate , how much money do you want to make? As a sales person you wake up unemployed every morning, it doesn't matter if you have a base salary or not, you are unemployed and to find employment you must talk to enough people to make something happen, you must "MAKE RAIN" don't procrastinate making calls, don't procrastinate picking up the phone, the best way to stop wasting time in minutia is to first be prepared, be knowledgeable in your offerings, be knowledgeable in your servivices.
The way I look at the business of selling is simple, you are an educator, you educate people on the benefits of your service and products, you make sure that they have all the information needed to make the best decision possible, and you know what? that's all you can do bubba, that's all you can do, you will not winn all the deasl, if anybody tells you that you can , they are lying to you, convert 4 out of 10 No into YES and you will be well on your way to stardom, easy enough right? The secret is that you have to talk to enough people to get to 10 , and that is everyday, Can you do the activity day in and day out? My guess is that if you have a burning desire to succeed you will.
In the words of Zig Ziglar....See you at the top
