Are You Meeting Your Business Goals This Year?

Are You Meeting Your Business Goals This Year?

You set business goals at the beginning of the year: now it’s time to look at where you are and where you are going. Half the year has gone, so now is a great time to review your goals for the year and see if you are on track.

Do you need to rethink your goals or your strategy?

If you are more than half way to your year’s goals, congratulations! You are among the very few. Most of us, though are lagging seriously behind: this has been a slow year so far.

In my case, the year started out with a bang: it seems that all the New Year’s resolutions were kicking in and people were ready to change their lives. Then it went quiet. Tax time? – who knows?

Now things have started to pick up again. My belief is that many people are reviewing their first half performance and deciding they need to look into ways to improve their success, There are really only two things you can do if you have
slipped behind: accept it or change it!

Accepting where you are is fine, but do you really want to revise your goals downward? When you set those goals at the beginning of the year, it was because they represented what you really wanted to achieve on the path to your dream. If not, why did you set them?

So really you don’t have a choice, do you? You need to review your performance and see how it can be improved. Let me show you how!

For the purposes of this post, I’ll assume that you are a network marketer, but  similar principles apply to any entrepreneurial activity.

Company

First, take a good, hard look at your company. When you joined them you were excited about it: is that excitement still there?

Are you getting the support and encouragement you need and deserve?

Do you still believe in the product or products?

Most importantly, do you still believe in the company?

If the answer to any of these questions is “no

Where Are You Going?

I have missed a few days running lately, for various reasons, but went for a pleasant, easy run this morning. As I was running, I found myself reflecting on a fascinating video I watched the other evening. In this video, Frank Kern was talking to a group of network marketers about Core Influence.

Now I had never heard of this concept before, so it was all new to me, but when I listened to what he had to say I found that it struck a number of chords for me. What he is looking at is why we do what we do.

Why do I run? Why do I have a home business? What is my real motivation and where do I want to go?

The point is that unless you can answer these questions for yourself, you are doomed to failure. Here is a man who had all the trappings of success – he had the Ferrari, the mansion, the private jet! And his life was empty: the more he had the more miserable he became.

This is a two hour video, so it is really not practical to give you more than a flavor of it in this article, but I believe that if you watch it, and do the exercise he recommends, you will find your Core Identity and your life will improve. We hear so often these days “This will change your life

Update on thatMLMbeat: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

A couple of weeks ago, well, more like 6 weeks ago, I attempted to do the last post on thatMLMbeat.com before launching our new platform. Being optimistic with the programming that had to be done, I was close to a 100% certain that we would be up and running by now.

But with intense programming, pages of flowcharts and other technical jargon that I don’t want to bore you with, we unfortunately hit a road block.

I wanted to make sure that we cover each little aspect of our social network and deal with all the complications so that it will be a more user friendly system for our community.

Bare in mind, it’s not just any social network, this one has a HUGE twist that will help all network marketers from all companies and systems brand themselves to generate a plethora of leads, etc.

Trust me, it’ll be well, well worth it… muahahaha, muahahaha! (Cheesy laugh with my little finger in my mouth aka Dr. Evil in Austin Powers in the pic)

Okay, maybe that’s a sign that I’ve been stuck behind my computer for waaayy too long!

Back to thatMLMbeat…

So basically the road block means that every little bit of programming that has been done for the past 7 weeks are now worthless. That will be the bad news.

The good news is that it was quite a learning curve and after re doing all the flowcharts and about 14 screen recordings, we are back on track!

So, as from today, we are starting the project from scratch, but this time I am more than 100% sure that we have covered every aspect of our system. But…

I NEED YOUR HELP!!

In the next few days I will upload a survey to get down to the real reasons why people join a network marketing business. This survey will run over several weeks
And if you participate, we will forward you the detailed report as a gift which will help you clarify the psychology and emotional reasons why people get involved in network marketing. I will add the link to the survey on the next post.

Have a prosperous week!
