Time to set new goals

Seminar is over, or just about over, and dreams were achieved. Beautiful women we all admire walked across the seminar stage being recognized for their accomplishments this last year. There were new directors and NSD, queens were crowned and the courts received their prizes. But for others, they sat wide-eyed. Some declared, “next year, that will be me.”

So, how do you do it? How do you turn that dream into a goal?

One of my favorite sayings is a goal is a dream with a deadline, and it’s all about numbers.

You may have chosen the goal to be in the Queens Court of Sales, or to become a director. You might have your sights set on a new car. Whatever it is you need to know that it’s well within your reach.

1. Talk to your director (or senior director if you already are a director or NSD if that is appropriate) and let her know what your goal is. She will be your biggest cheerleader and the best coach. She has likely gone ahead before you. She’s walked in the shoes you think are just so darn cute and she wants you to have a pair of your own. So, to begin, let her know. She loves you and wants to help you. Also, once you breathe the words aloud, you can’t take them back. This will be a step of commitment.
2. Break your goal down into monthly chunks based on your own numbers, if you’re new, use someone else’s numbers. Again, your director will help you with this. She knows the numbers.
3. Break your monthly goals into weekly and daily goals. (Perhaps you want to work on a 6 day work week. We were made for a day of rest.)
4. Work diligently toward those goals every single day and don’t back down. Ultimately it will be what you chose on a daily basis that will determine whether or not you realize your dreams. So put up lots of posters, lots of encouragement. Trash your house with images of what it is you want. Put it in front of your face all the time so you’ll remember exactly how it felt when you said “next year.”
5. Don’t get discouraged and quit. The only difference between successful people and those who are not is that those who achieved whatever it is, didn’t quit. They had the bad stuff happen to them too. Talk it out, get frustrated, whatever you need to do, then just don’t quit.

I can’t wait to see where this year takes you. I love to look at the pictures on social media and I know every year that those beautiful smiling faces mean so much more than the diamonds and sparkles of the moment. It’s actually about all the lives touched along the way and about the changes that person has seen in her own life. Good luck and don’t forget to track your progress in your Pink Office account!
