Don't Set Unrealistic Goals In Your Home Business

At the beginning of the New Year, people get so fired
up about setting goals for their lives.

Everyone is capable of setting goals and flowery
resolutions but most of the time; they will throw in
the towel after a few weeks… maybe even after a
few days for the 1st of January!

The gym will always be packed around New Year’s Day
with people resolving to get it shape but it is always
empty by the end of the month. People tend to fail
in their goal setting and resolutions are because they
do not set realistic goals at all!

Flaky, ambiguous goals like get rich, buy a new car,
make more money, donate more money and spend
more time in weekly worship are all examples of goals
that do not have any deadlines or any urgency factors.
This is one of the first fallacies of unrealistic goal setting.

Here’s how you can set a realistic goal – by imposing
a deadline and setting them as realistic as possible.

Which do you think is easier, eating your lunch on time
or going out there to save the world Obviously it is easier
to achieve easy goals compared to unrealistic goals right
When you are able to break down your goals into easier,
more manageable chunks, you will be able to ‘swallow’
them easily without choking on them.

Next, when you are able to meet your goals without
putting in too much effort, you can set a deadline that
is easy enough to meet. A goal such as getting up at
7.30 am and going to work TOMORROW is easier to
achieve than just setting a goal that merely says – wake
up earlier and go to work. Your mind will kick in and
switch on when you set your goals with specifics!

Now for network marketing goals, you can accomplish
them if you make realistic goals like meet 3-5 prospects
a day. Make 20 phone calls a day, 10 by the day and
10 by night. Don’t write down unrealistic goals such
as getting a team of 500 people by the end of the year.
It is just plain unrealistic because you do not have a
road map or a blue print how you are going to achieve it.

Once again, contemplate whether it is easier to accomplish
10 phone calls by today or to get 100 downlines by the end
of the year. Therefore, by breaking down your goals in
network marketing, you will increase your chances
for success.

Confidence in Network Marketing

Are you a confident person? If you are not confident,
it is very hard for you to succeed in network marketing
because this business is all about leadership and motivation.
How can you lead and motivate your downlines if your
confidence is shaky and your posture is weak.

Sometimes, it is very sad to find many network marketers
struggling to sponsor their very first downline. This is
normal, but you must not dwell in this stage for too long
because it is detrimental to your confidence. You see,
fear causes inaction, and inaction causes a lack of results
and the longer your lack of results show itself, the more
fear it creates because people in network marketing are
getting ahead of you and you are still in the first stage!

Therefore, the first step towards becoming more
confident is to TAKE ACTION. By taking action you
will automatically gain confidence. They say that a
skydiver’s greatest fear is not the jump itself but rather
the wait before the jump. As they stare at the raging sky,
their fear intensifies until the moment they step off the
plane! Network marketing is just like that. You have to
make that first phone call or show your first plan
(or run your first opportunity talk). Whatever it is,
just get the job done.

The next part about building your confidence is
NOT to spend too much time reading network marketing
books. A lot of your success depends on your knowledge
in network marketing… yes it is undoubtedly very
important. But too much analysis will lead to paralysis.
Having too much knowledge without applying it is a
surefire way to network marketing failure. The ‘graves’
of many unsuccessful distributors are filled with people
with all the knowledge about network marketing… except
how to take action and make money with that knowledge.

Another way to build your confidence is to focus on
building your network personally.

Sometimes, a distributor can spend so much time with
their ONE golden downline, that they become too
dependent on that one line. Very soon, you will see your
downline moving up even to the point of surpassing you.
When your downline starts making more money than you,
your own upline might wind up spending more time with
him or her and that would greatly shake your confidence!
So don’t rest, always go out there and sponsor more people
personally rather than by yourself.

Lastly, if you have little confidence when it comes to
sponsoring, you can consider generating leads on the
Internet. You face less rejections that way and you can
still pitch your offer without the fear of people saying no
directly in your face.
