There are many things to consider when we want to get a business like Shaklee up and running to the point where it's highly successful. Having personal and business goals certainly are a part of making progress and becoming successful. Before I got started in this business I would have goals in my mind, but to be totally honest, I never, ever wrote my goals out or had a very specific plan for myself to achieve.
What changed for me was when I read a book that said "leaders are readers and readers are leaders." I forget who the author was but I remember very clearly that helped me to become more focused. I've read countless books since that time but almost every book mentioned goals. The following are some comments I found in various books over the years:
- What goals would you set if you knew you wouldn't fail?
- What would you have to change to start working at achievement of your goals?
Everyone has potential deep inside of them to achieve their goals. Everyone has the potential to do better but that potential has to be encouraged. Reading good books are what I have found to be the most helpful because all of those authors have literally become a mentor for me.
Master Coordinator Rick Seymour would be one of those authors as he has written a excellent book titled "God in Your Goals." I would recommend this book in order to learn about goals. Rick is an excellent communicator and anyone who has ever heard him speak would agree with me on that.
Oh - a little bird just told me that today Rick Seymour is 70 years young. HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICK! rickseymour@comcast.net
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
