With any type of business, not limited only to a Personal Development Business Opportunity, there are some common denominators that will help you to achieve your goals.
Like all entrepreneurs I have no doubt that at times it feels like the world is against you and success is a long way off. Go through the list below and give yourself a rank out of 5 for each area. By working towards mastering all 5 you will greatly stack the odds in your favour, bringing success that much closer.
A recommend scale might be; 1 – Seems like a good idea; 2 – I should try it more often; 3 – Hit or Miss depending on the day; 4 – Almost every day; 5 – I OWN IT! Be sure to continually re-asses yourself, highlight your weaknesses and move forward accordingly.
1. Meditate & visualize your goals daily
Make this a well used habit. Visualize your goals (either by imagining the scenes and/or writing down the details) at least 3 times a day. Visualize your goals with emotion, love and feeling as they relate to the various aspects of your life (Relationships, Spiritual, physical, your business, intellectual, financial, social etc…). Ensure that you are writing S.M.A.R.T Goals (Specific, measurable, Achievable, Results-orientated, Time-Bound).
2. Engage in Personal & Professional Development
Spend at least 30min every day on your own personal and professional development. This should include all aspects of your life (relationships, health, mindset, skill set). You can do this through a home study course, reading books, watching videos and listening to audio tapes and interviews. Anything that means you are learning new techniques, tactics, skills or views every day.
3. Activities That Directly Produce Income
Spend at least 4 hours a day 4 days a week purely on your income producing activities. This should include but not be limited too… posting or reviewing your advertising daily; consistently researching and developing new advertising sources; Follow up with every lead within 24hrs; provide support for the people in your team and become a marketing expert.
4. Mastermind
There are a few groups that you should mastermind with. 1) Your mentor – make sure you connect with them once every week. 2)Your community – get on any team or community calls or meetings, find someone to team up with where you keep each other accountable. 3)The industry leaders – Both in your company and in the industry, join their email lists and attend any free training or interviews that they run. Essentially you need to leverage the knowledge and experience of those that have walked the path before you. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. The more you ask the more you’ll learn.
5. Expectation Of Leadership In Yourself & Those Around You
All business is a business of leadership where you must lead by example. Continuously provide a positive example for others to follow. Ensure that you are positioned for success within your business and know that those around and underneath you will follow your example. So if you are displaying leadership and an active role in the community, they will also and your chances of success will be greatly increased. Sit back and do nothing and those that look to you will do the same and you will fail.
