Network Marketers Using a Proven Duplicatable System, Beat Spammers Every Time

Systems Beat Goals Every Time!

This is the time of year when almost everyone reviews their
dreams and sets goals and targets for the new year, and that
is a GOOD thing! Always be clear about where you're going!

Always have a destination, an outcome, a "next step" or target
in mind. If you don't choose your goals, you are doomed to a life
without direction or purpose.

Always know "what's next" in life!

At the same time, here's an interesting question:
Would you rather have goals, or systems that automatically take
you where you want to go in life?

I think the answer is obvious, but few people seem to really
"get it." Goals are wonderful. As I just wrote, goals are good!

But systems are better.

The problem with goals is that they are always in the future.
They are something to be worked on and achieved as soon as
possible, but always in the future.

Systems support us and enrich our lives immediately, today,
right NOW!

Because they are in the future, goals are easier than systems.
Goals sound nice, they can be exciting, and there's a certain
safety in knowing that we can have goals "down the road"
without having to disrupt our lives today.

New systems, on the other hand, disrupt our lives--sometimes
very dramatically--and can upset important people around us.
A goal to start a business "soon" or "this year" is very different
than coming home late every night.

A goal to start "some day" is very different than spending every
weekend launching the new project. A goal to be slim, trim and
strong "this year" is very different than adding a daily workout
to your already hectic schedule.

Systems (or habits) are the golden path to anything we want
in life. Once you establish the system or pattern of exercising
every day, fitness is no longer a goal. It becomes the automatic,
inevitable result of what you "normally" do every single day.

Fitness is a "side effect" of your system!

This is true of just about anything you want in life. My bias is
that no one should ever set a "goal" to save or invest for the
future! What a silly thing to do! Instead, make the decision to
start investing immediately, then develop a system to make
saving automatic, fool-proof and easy.

The "goal" to save will never make you rich, but a system like
the payroll savings plan at work just might do the trick.

Similarly, never set a "goal" to improve your marriage! Instead,
develop a system that includes some quiet time every single day.
Establish a system of weekly dates, daily hugs and lots of laughter.

Develop habits (or "systems") for sharing and intimacy that
will predictably lead to the results you prefer.

Systems beat goals every time!

Year after year, I have clients who are eager to set sales "goals,"
but few who are prepared to change their daily behaviors and
develop systems that will guarantee more sales.

Systems make success automatic, but can be uncomfortable,
even painful, at first. In the end,

I recommend focusing on systems.

Goals excite the imagination and give us a preview of coming
attractions, but systems are the golden path to ultimate success.

Systems give us control and empower us immediately.

Systems will open doors and give you the life you truly want.

Panic Stricken Chickens, Losing Your Head Over Lack of MLM Success

To meet your network marketing goals (or any other goals!)
requires a patient, long-term commitment to a very good plan.

You need a high level of urgency.

Not frantic or haphazard, but definitely unwavering urgency,
uncompromising urgency ... which you drill into your team
right from the start.

We all lose focus at times. When your team loses its focus,
they generally get pretty unproductive. You need to understand
the mental picture that spurs them to urgency,
and refer them to that picture.

For some, urgency means running around like a chicken
with its head cut off. That's panic, not urgency.

When you focus tightly and you know the result you want,
then you can act with speed. You've got to do it NOW, not tomorrow,
because you can't be sure that there will be a tomorrow.

And that is really the crux of the problem.

You sure don't want to go out of this life thinking, "If only ...".

So you must feed your own urgent attitude. And you must help
each team member expand and nourish their urgent attitude.
When you have an entire team urgently building long-term, THEN
you have really done something.

So let's bring this all together.

First you yourself have to walk the talk. People need to see you
as the role model for "patient urgency."

We all have many years of bad habits to overcome. The greatest
urgency for your MLM future is to change these habits. Identify the
worst of the lot, and map out a plan to replace them.

Start NOW.

Maybe the most helpful tool you'll find is the book
"The Slight Edge", by Jeff Olson.

You learn to make little changes that combine to make a big difference.
You can spend just 2 or 3 minutes a day, if you do it consistently
every day, and over time, it will change your life.

And the biggest change you can focus on is ... getting more urgency
into pursuing your MLM opportunity. That's where you'll get the
biggest, fastest payback from.
