The “Secret” Goal Setting Strategy that All Carbon Copy Pro Marketing Leaders Use

It’s January 4, 2009… time for New Year’s resolutions and soul searching, looking to achieve bigger and better things in the coming year. But how many of us actually achieve our resolutions each year?

According to surveys, only 8 percent of Americans successfully achieve their New Year’s resolutions. A whopping 45 percent fail by the end of January

Why? Are the majority of us simply unable to curb our desires long enough to make real changes in our lives?

I don’t think so. But I think there IS a problem.

I believe the problem resides in the TIME FRAME in which goals or resolutions are made each January.

It’s a simple trick that most successful people understand, whether it be personal, spiritual, or professional goals. Rather than make huge yearly goals that seem insurmountable on any given day, there is a better way….

The leaders, the people “in the know” understand this all too well. They know that setting lofty YEARLY goals is a setup for failure.

That’s why all the leaders choose to make WEEKLY GOALS, rather than YEARLY RESOLUTIONS.

What’s the difference? EVERYTHING.

Think of it in these terms… compare these 2 phrases:

“I want to lose 50 pounds by this time next year” versus “I will lose 1 pound this week.”

Or this….

“I want to make $100,000 in my home business this year” versus “I will make $2000 this week in my home business.”

The yearly goals seem enormous, but somehow the weekly goals seem more in line with our perception of what is “do-able”.

Almost every leader in the network marketing industry that I have spoken to set goals WEEKLY, rather than monthly, and certainly NOT yearly.

It’s in the constant repetition of setting weekly goals, reviewing these goals on a daily basis, assessing progress towards the goals, and re-setting goals the following week that keep leaders ACCOUNTABLE and is a key for their long-term success.

GOAL SETTING done correctly is VERY powerful. Goal setting done incorrectly sets people up for failure and feeling worthless.

How is goal setting done correctly? By creating goals in a shorter time frame, making them more manageable and more easily attained. And as you attain your goals each week, you gain confidence in yourself that you CAN meet your goals.

And mindset in goal setting is EVERYTHING.

And what if you DON’T meet your weekly goals? It’s much simpler to access where your goal setting has gone awry and to correct your original premise to a more reasonable set of goals that CAN be met on a weekly basis.
