Happy Halloween

Halloween marks something special for me. Yes, it can be exciting carving pumpkins, and handing out candy and dressing the kids up for trick or treating. But, it can also be exciting from a goal setting perspective.

Why?

Because the next day represents November 1rst. That's right! You have approximately 6 months to redirect your focus and realign your priorities to hit your goals before April 15th!! That's right...Tax day!

You can make the next 6 months count in a HUGE way...both from a business perspective and tax perspective.

Make sure you update your tax folder, keep your receipts, track your expenses, log your mileage!! Not only will this save you money in the long run, but pay for your business!!

#1 Write down where you want to be in 6 months.
#2 Write out what it will take to get there.
#3 Break that down into 6 monthly goals
#4 Give yourself a reward for hitting the goal!!
#5 Tell your upline, your downline, and SOMEONE YOUNGER!! (maybe a 5 yr old if you have one around! :))

Why? Because writing down your goal triggers a response in your brain. It puts your thoughts and words into concrete form. It moves you in the direction you want to go.

Why tell people? Because it turns the seriousness up a notch. Now you have people cheering you on, and periodically checking your pulse?

Why would I tell my 5 year old? Because little ones are relentless. How often do you think my 5 year old asks me about my goals? EVERY DAY.

Why? Because he knows that when we hit our goal....we're going to Disney World.

That my friends....is lighting a serious fire under you!

Set your 6 month goals today!
