Why Having Goals Is Important
First of all you should have a vision! A vision will be an image and a feeling of what you want to achieve. A vision is crucial in your journey towards success, because otherwise you won’t have a clue where you are going. Success itself is not enough – you have to define what success is for you, and then ask yourself, how it will affect your life.
When you have your vision in place and you know your direction, you have to create smaller goals – pit stops on your journey. Now, why do you have to make small goals, when you have your vision, your big goal out there waiting for you to come?
How many people do you think will give up before they have even come half way to there big goal? Actually most! Having a vision is really important, but if you are working many hours a day for weeks and even months without seeing any progress, it will be a long and hard journey – and it will seem endless. Many give up because there vision stays a dream and they get more and more convinced that they were wrong for ever starting in the first place. THAT is why you should create smaller goals – if not daily then at least weekly and monthly.
Having a goal that says “I want to make a $1,000,000.00 in a year from now” is not a real goal, because you have never done it before so how can you say that? (Assuming you’ve never made one million in a year of course, feel free to raise the number if it’s to low. You can and should ALWAYS expect more from yourself!) Wanting to make a $1,000,000.00 is a vision and not unrealistic, but you have to know how to get there. Making smaller goals like “In a week I have studied the people that have succeeded in the same area that I wish to become successful” will feel more satisfying and you will actually be able to see the progress you are making.
Having goals along the way will keep you motivated and when you see the small progresses you are making, it won’t ever seem unrealistic to turn you vision into reality. To succeed with network marketing or any other home-based business you have to keep this in mind, otherwise you’ll maybe end up failing because you vision will seem more and more as an unrealistic dream, even though it isn’t.
So, start thinking about what you want this journey to end up with and then begin by making a goal for today – what should you do today. And then for the week and perhaps also month. And also remember that you CAN turn your vision into reality, you just have to be open to educate yourself instead of wanting to do everything on your own. Learn from people who have done what you are about to do and follow their footsteps without making their mistakes. Your journey towards success and your vision will be much more pleasant that way.
