Take Five

I joined Blessings Unlimited for several reasons, but most of all, for the opportunity it gives to encourage and empower women. That doesn't mean I'm not enjoying the other benefits like the extra income and getting to meet other women. It's big, isn't it? For the past 12 months I grappled with the big picture and where am I going with this. Finally, I completed one of the first steps proposed. To really set my goals and define the necessary actions to move my business forward. It's an investment that pays well. I hope you'll try it.

Studies show only 3% of the general population take time to see the goal and big picture. That leaves 97% who do not even know what the treasure is. How will they know when they find it? Or even where to dig in and work? Here are five steps to set your goals and establish your days for 2012. 


1. Ask the Lord for His wisdom. I was so tempted to tell you, "Grab a cup of coffee, or hot tea and relax for this step." But don't do that. This is the most important step of all and if you seek FIRST His kingdom all the other things will be given to you. It's found in Matthew 6:33. Read it in context. It takes care of what we eat, what we wear, our home and encourages us not to worry. Sounds like a great tradeoff to me, so do it now. Stop reading these words and take five minutes to lay your heart open before the King of the Universe and ask for His wisdom.

2. Write your goals down. The desires of your heart for your Blessings Unlimited business. Do you need additional income for your home and family? Are you wanting to touch lives and minister more? Is fellowship your chief goal? Or do you love the thrill of a new challenge all your own? Exactly how do you want your life to look in the next 12 months?

3. Now unlock the power of each goal by breaking it into the next 11 months. If you said I need  $11,000 additional income then divide that by the 11 remaining months of 2012 to realize what must be accomplished every single month to meet the goal. Don't stop there. If you need 1,000 a month, determine by your average sales just how many gatherings you will need each month. If you are reaching for Team Leader status, your goals will need to include sponsoring activities as well. Refuse to entertain any thought that says it's not possible.

4. With those monthly targets in mind, list the necessary simple daily activities it will take to set that goal on course. If you need bookings, how many and when will you make those calls for bookings? Chart it with names and phone numbers and make the calls. If you desire to reach a new team status, what qualifications will you meet and by what date? Ask the questions and write the answers.

5. Post it where you see it all the time. The rest is easy really. Target practice every single day, week, month and year. Your consistency will create a momentum that will carry your business forward no matter how small you begin.
