To Succeed – Set Goals!

Filed under: Working at Home — by workingfromhomeinnc @ 11:53 am

To succeed at anything in life you must set goals. Why? Well for one as a species humans tend to long for a sense of accomplishment. So to satisfy this need we need to set a goal to have something to “mark off the list” at the end of the day, week, month, year, whatever, the point is in order to accomplish something you must know what the thing you are trying to accomplish is.

 

For my
Avon business I set a goal this morning that I must mention that I sell
Avon to at least 3 people, this is to add new customers to my customer base. I set this goal every morning.

 

Yesterday I succeeded and managed to generate one new order.

 

Today I have already spoken to two people and am on the lookout for opportunity number 3.

 

For my daily life I set goals, simple ones generally but goals none the less, might be get the laundry done, find an hour to play with my son, etc.

 

I set longer term goals as well. Currently it is “lose 20 pounds” I work on this goal everyday longing for the day that I can cross it off the list.

 

So in trying to start your own business remember to set goals, short term and long term, so you can start crossing them off the list to success!

 

My long-term goal is two six moth vacations a year!
