A word that has a lot of ability to help people achieve their goals is mindset. What this says to me is simple and very powerful because once my mind was set on building this business and changing our future I felt compelled to learn and to do whatever it was going to take. I couldn't wait for the next meeting because that was where I could hear the people who were successful. My mindset always seemed to get stronger after I attended meetings or events.
Before I got in this business I had never put my goals on paper. Once I put the goals on paper I started to think more about what it was going to take. I think a way to say this is that if you know what your goals are, you can then start to take the steps toward the right actions. I wasn't going to be satisfied just being in Shaklee and "doing" Shaklee. I wanted what this company offered and I saw others who were making it work and that was always encouraging for me. If they could do it, so could I - bottom line that was my mindset.
Do you have your goals written out on paper? What is your mind set on doing? Do you know the next steps you'll have to take to make progress? Are you following those who have become successful? The formula for reaching goals isn't very complex but what I learned was I had to be willing to step across that line in the sand and start doing some things that I didn't know how to do.
Maybe a fair question would be something like this: am I willing to do those things I'm not very good at yet? This is a skill-based business and the only way to develop the needed skills is to start doing the right things. Repetition is the method for becoming skilled. The more you do a specific action the better you're going to become at it. Having your mind set on becoming skilled is what will help you get to where you want to be.
Enthusiastically,
