When you turn on a road with clear directions and desires carefully defined, you actually program yourself for success, in order to achieve those goals.
This is why I’ve joined SFI: to change my life and get a better one!
The power of your mind is not a myth, since it is shown that it can help you do things that, speaking aloud, seem impossible! For example, we are so excited when starting a new project, but could we manage to stay motivated and focused on that project to the end regardless all the obstacles? How many times did we give up pretty quickly reaching a goal just because we met daily all kinds of thoughts and problems?
Here are some tips that help me setting goals in SFI and going all the way to achieve them:
1. Don't Confuse Your Path With Your Destination. Your goal is not that of others! For this purpose SFI provides a powerful tool for all of us: “the To Do List” Tab
As strange as it sounds, we often confuse our goals with those of others. Even if it's a promotion at work, a new client, our SFI business or just a new outfit, we have to feel that we want it and not our spouse, our boss or another person. Our desire must arouse certain emotions when we think about achieving it, and that should not leave us indifferent. Never confuse where you are now, with where it is you want to be. This is a new day, and only you can live the way you need to achieve and soar to new heights.
Within the “To Do List” Tab you'll find an easy-to-follow list of actions designed to help you build a successful SFI business. In addition to daily, weekly, and monthly actions for growing your business, there are also sections listing specific actions to promote Team Leadership and increase TC sales. Work hard daily, and continue to stay focused on obtaining the life that you want for you and the people who matter most to you.
Always in achieving a goal you have to feel like you won something important.
Also, even if it is not directly about an own goal, you have to feel as motivated as you feel you would benefit from, too. For example, many times at SFI, our home-based business, if you see that you are rewarded as expected, and then you work differently, get involved and stand for your Team purposes. This is explained by the fact that humans slow to do anything that does not bring any benefit, regardless of its nature.
2. Set your goals according to your values! For this purpose SFI provides a powerful tool for all of us: “the Tips” Tab
Hyrum Smith developed a model for goal setting. Smith's "Success Triangle" puts governing values at the base of the goal setting process. He believes that every goal is linked specifically to a governing value. If the goal you set is congruent with and allows you to live your most important values, you are more likely to accomplish the goal. This actually refers to set goals in all aspects of your life, to maintain your life balance.
Values are those things that we consider to be of worth. Values are our guidelines for living and behavior. You are less likely to experience warring priorities if every aspect of your life has a value-based goal.
So, stop to the “Tips” Tab daily for earning value: an SFI Tip of the Day, an Affiliate Tip of the Day, a strong motivational Quote of the Day, and an informative Did You Know section stressing relevant aspects about SFI that you'll want to keep in strongly as you grow your and your team business.
3. Believe You Can Accomplish the Goals!! Read the “Testimonials” or “What others are saying about SFI”.
At the bottom of your Affiliate Center home page, every day you could read some good “Testimonials”, or “What others are saying about SFI”. SFI partners are proud to call themselves SFI affiliates. Why? Because SFI provides values for all of us! Each of us has a little voice in our head.
Unwillingly, in every moment, the voice of our sub-conscious discusses and comments everything that happens to us, makes plans, and loudly expresses what we do not have the guts to do it. These internal reviews can be both positive and negative. Positive thoughts help in meeting goals, create that beneficial state of mind to make you go where you intend to. Thoughts and negative comments, conversely, inhibit this process because they undermine our self-esteem and self-confidence, and negatively impact our ability to accomplish our goals.
Listen carefully to your voice and do not give up! You can change its tone by believing in yourself and in your ability to do things and making every criticism into something constructive. If you are a manager, one of your more important tasks is to support the development of positive self-esteem by your staff members. Your positive outlook and belief in their ability to accomplish great goals foster their increased self-esteem and self-confidence. This, in turn, magnifies their ability to accomplish more and contribute more to your SFI business.
4. Visualize the end results! SFI provides a powerful tool for all of us: “the Scoreboard” Tab
It is said that the goals are grouped around some measurable consequences: if you can measure the effects it is easier to get to them. But don’t tie yourself to setting only measurable goals, because sometimes the most important goals, the non-urgent, critical goals, are hard to measure.
The “Scoreboard” tab is your spot for tracking and comparing your own progress with other SFI Affiliates, as well as viewing important SFI statistics as a whole. Think of your SFI Scoreboard Tab as your day's "business account"!
In a reputable company as SFI, for instance, as you move up the management ranks EA, BTL, STL, GTL, PTL, you may find more of your goals are harder to measure. The key measurable aspects of your job will likely be the results produced by your reporting staff. Thus, when you are dealing with such purposes, start with a picture in your mind, that you commit to paper, that describes the outcome you are seeking. Make the picture as vivid as you can. I have a published book in my mind, while I am still thinking about and exploring potential topics.
5. Write down your goals! I use to write down my SFI goals on my Journal.
After you've made clear in mind what you want, write these thoughts on a piece of paper as you feel them. Writing out your goal is your commitment to achieving the goal.
For instance, I know that I am missing 100 Action VersaPoints. What should I do?
I am writing down on my Journal how many days rest until the end of the month and how many Action VPs I could earn by doing my daily tasks. Then I am planning my future steps to achieve my next rank or to maintain my current rank.
Writing is a powerful statement in comparison with half-formulated thoughts in the back of your mind. It's like you've promised yourself that you will do everything you can to achieve the objectives written. Noting potential action plans and due dates of the steps makes the goal even much closer to realization.
6. Share goals with your SFI team! Communication is the most powerful tool in SFI! For this purpose SFI provides the “Stream” Tab too!
Communication is the most powerful tool in SFI! If you consider that there are people who would support and encourage you in meeting your goals, then do not hesitate and talk to them about it. Even in SFI, do not hesitate to share your goals with your Sponsor or Co-sponsor, you will have whole-hearted support from him / her, as your success is the TEAM success. How? Using the “Stream” Tab in SFI!
7. Measure and track your progress regularly! For this purpose SFI provides the “Goals” Tab for all its partners!
SFI provides a powerful goal accomplishment tool for all of us: the “Goals” tab.
Your “Goals” Tab is one of the tabs that appear on your Affiliate Center home page.
You are most likely to accomplish the goals you set if you review them daily as part of your normal planning process. Here, you can review the goals listed on your Affiliate Profile. To update your goals, just click the “Edit my goals” link at the bottom of the page to access your Affiliate Profile and save your changes there. Your updated goals will be immediately reflected on your “Goals” Tab.
Whether you use a Journal or the “Goals” Tab on your Affiliate Center home page, you can enter your goals, and schedule daily and weekly and monthly actions that support their accomplishment.
The discipline of the daily review is a powerful goal accomplishment tool. It is a kind of self-discipline, a powerful tool that will help you realize that what you want is not impossible, but even shapes with every step you make.
8. Identify and remove obstacles! For this purpose SFI provides the “Movers” Tab for all of us!
If you have done the previous steps, but you are not satisfied with progress, then you need to identify what stops you advance. In order to determine whether a goal is very important or not for your progress in SFI you have to ask yourself: Is this goal really important? Perhaps there are other goals that actually are more important, but you have not realized, and thus you do not focus enough on any one.
The “Movers” Tab is the proper tool to manage you in the right way of communication and team building, of how to create the Duplication.
If you have determined that it is a primary goal, then ask yourself: What specific obstacles interpose my ability to achieve the aim? Make a plan of action to remove them or ask for help from your Sponsor or Co-sponsor. A careful but honest analysis can show you things that you might have missed or have refused to take into account. Start with what you've noted previously, all your developments, set deadlines, a.s.o. Here you will observe where you left behind, which is why what happened and how to resolve this issue. As I said before, communication is the most powerful tool.
9. Reward yourself and celebrate each goal accomplishment with your team, A2A friends and family! And again, for this purpose SFI provides the “Stream” Tab for all of us!
Your “Stream” Tab is a great way to communicate with your team and A2A friends about every goal accomplishment! Even a minor goal accomplishment deserves to be celebrated! Do not think all the time about how many things you have to do, but enjoy the things you made, and then look to the next step. It is necessary to feel the satisfaction of a job accomplished because it will motivate forward to get involved in the achievement of other objectives and will build your self-confidence.
Celebrate what you have accomplished and do that with your Team, your A2A friends, congratulate yourself and do not forget to congratulate tour team and especially your Sponsor and Co-sponsor for their great support!
The last but not the least, talking seriously, I celebrate my SFI goals accomplishment with my husband and we drink a good beer! Cheers!
10. Refresh your goals! For this purpose SFI provides another tool for all of us: the “Growth” Tab!
If you're the kind of person who sets goals for a longer period of time, then reserve your right to periodically check if they are out of date. The “Growth” Tab shows you the goals accomplishment of your team and of other SFI partners. It is also a strong motivational tool, managing you to work hardly in the future for you and your team.
Maybe you have changed certain circumstances, or maybe you no longer want the same things, consequently avoid staying loaded with details that do not interest you anymore.
Also, if you lose too much time with the same goal, it's time to review the situation. You must always progress; you should not get stuck in one place. The “Growth” tab shows this issue every day! Does not hurt to be more critical and radical sometimes even to yourself!
We depend heavily on purposes, desires, dreams. They guide us in life and help us move forward. And the more we reach and fulfill more of them, the more we consider both full and confident in ourselves. So do not set goals randomly but give them proper attention because you're the only one who will benefit!
