I have a short attention-span, so when I created this blog, I decided my platform would be quick tid-bits of information. Marketing tips, motivational thoughts, recommendations and the random funniness. This is how I work best... quick, to the point and simple.
Today I want to share one of the simple things that I utilize and believe contributes much to my success. Every day I repeat my business goals/affirmations. This keeps me focused and makes sure my daily tasks are taking me directly towards the accomplishment of these goals. I've experimented over the years and tried a variety of methods. I've written them 10 times each, I've taped them to my mirror and said them out loud and I have mentally visualized them throughout the day. At this time, I like the visualization. It keeps me motivated and on track as I am working.
The most difficult thing to this simple task is to remember to do it. Until you are in the habit, keep the reminders visible. Don't worry if you miss a day... just do it as soon as you remember. A few other thoughts....
- Keep it to about 3-5 goals. I currently have 3.
- State them in the present tense. "I am closing 8 loans each month"
- Share your goals with others - this makes it more real to you and pushes you to work harder
- Try different ways to see what works for you. Written, typed, verbal, mental
- COMMIT. This doesn't work overnight. But it does work!
I'm going to go out on a limb and share my current goals with you.... They are simple yet work amazingly well for me!
- I am talking with potential customers daily about my speaking, products and coaching.
- I am earning XX each month. (I'm not going to tell you EVERYthing:)
- I am balancing my work and family - and succeeding at both.
Take a few minutes and write down your top 3 goals. It really is that simple. If you have a different method that has worked for you - please share it in the comments section!
