Day 70 - Happy New Year's Eve!

Here it is New Year’s Eve! I am so happy to end the year with a few days off and getting the chance to read, learn, and play. Today will be no exception.

While reading I become more motivated about having this business. I am realizing that wealth is not an instant gratification scenario. You have to put in the work and more work in order to just get started. Often MLM businesses are pitched that you can make more money than ever in “this” business. Although that may be true, it is the hard work that needs to occur before any of the wealth will appear. You still need to build your business so you have a solid foundation.

Today, I will be making plans for 3 months out for my WebEx presentations and a loose calendar for the remainder of the year. My calendar this year will include WebEx presentations, group meetings, planned networking events, home meetings and so on. Once they are calendarized and action items attached to them, then that activity will happen. If I do not calendarize then my actions are less likely to happen with any consistency.

I know that setting goals is also important for running a business and this year will be no exception. I will be setting sales goals for each quarter and then breaking that down into the months for tracking purposes. Yes, tracking is also a crucial element and my training background and working with large corporations has shown me that tracking is crucial to success. If you do not know where you are, then how do you know how to steer the boat in the right direction.

Today I had the opportunity to talk to two individuals while they were waiting for their wives at the surgery clinic today. I got my stitches out and others were just waiting. What a good place to just talk to others without any pressure on talking about the business. It is so key to talk to everyone. We (actually my husband) talked to more people in the grocery store line up. We keep spreading the smiles and hellos.

I just finished reading an email from a person that agreed to sign up under another good friend. Of course he said he was too busy with other things and was not interested although he would help promote it. That confuses me as he has time to promote it but not do the business. I guess that is the way he sees it for now. Things change and the no may turn into a future yes. Let’s see.

Happy New Year to everyone! I am having a quiet dinner with my husband and then watch the New York ball descend the tower at midnight – best way to celebrate, in the company of loved ones.
