Be Smart in Goal-Setting

Of the billions of words ever formed and created in the world, I think the most typed keyword in the search box of Search Engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN is about goal or goals. An attempt to enhance my goal-setting skill is an aftermath of online researches, trainings and seminars from one of the best networking companies (NSE) I have come across my entire life.

A goal is having an objective already visualized in your mind. It is the end result or achievement for which an effort is directed.

Like a cab driver hailed by a passenger with a specific route or itinerary of stops in the performance of the passenger’s work or duty, you are responsible for getting your passenger to his/her destination in proper state. You are the driver of your own motor vehicle or life. Likewise, you are responsible for your own decisions and actions to accomplish your goals in life.

How does the endeavor of reaching goals become achievable? It is simply through setting goals. But how does one set up goals? Setting up goals constitutes of a driver and a vehicle. You, yourself is the driver of your goal and the vehicle is the means of completing your specific goal.

There are certain directions in setting up for one’s goals. An acronym is provided below which are definite ways to help you carry out your objectives:

1. Beginning. To start acting on your goals, you must “begin with an end in your mind.”

2. Ending. Have a clear-cut picture of your goals in your mind. This way you become fully aware of what you really want to achieve.

3. Specific. Goals should be “specific, personal, and in present tense.”

4. Measurable. You can define your own method of measuring your objectives or goals. This can be in the form of personal rewards for internally motivating your self is a hard-earned habit and discipline as well.

5. Attainable. Attainability of goals is measured by the level of commitment towards achieving it. Ask yourself, “How willing are you to get it?” Are you the type who says, “I’ll try”, “I’ll do my best” or “I’ll do whatever it takes.”

6. Realistic. What one accomplishes must make sense and is rewarding or relevant. “Are your goals realistic for you?”

7. Time-bound. Set a deadline to complete your goals within a finite time. Have a time-frame for your goals and be amazed of what you have attained.

Remember, “Be smart.” Before I end this article let me share this wonderful quote, “Having a simple clearly defined goal can capture the imagination and inspire passion. It can cut through the fog like a beacon in the night.”

Top Ten Truths Why Anyone Should Give Network Marketing a Try



When people hear the words network marketing, they all relate it to scam or a pyramid scheme. But why are there people who make it big in this industry? Read on and unveil the truths for yourself.


1. If you got to have more in your life, you have to be more. Yes, everyone some time in their life would feel nothing has happened in their life. You might have work. You have friends and you still have your eccentric but adorable family. Yet, you would come to a point where you will feel an indescribable emptiness. Longevity and substance counts. Enduring however long and difficult a new task or perhaps a project is develops you personally and professionally. Does it matter in what economic status you are now? There's always room for improvement. If you desire to uplift your low status now, you got to do something. The key here is to make a move, a step. Making that one first step is all it takes. It sure feels like a long race but try to remember this quote: "Perseverance is not a long race: It is many short races, one after another."


2. Settling for what is good enough is the enemy of the great. What's wrong with just being good enough? Actually, there's nothing wrong with just being good enough. But once you settle in what is only good, you will stop striving in doing what is better. Therefore, you would become content on what you are now and what you have, making you stagnant. Stuck forever in a situation or circumstance that you would not necessarily want to be in for the rest of your life. You stop dreaming. You become satisfied of what is only at hand. You stop pursuing your dream life - of what you really wanted to be when you were a kid. Instead of trying out new things, getting out of your comfort zone and unleashing your highest potential you do not come out of your shell. Try to think what this line of song is trying to tell you, "There's a hero if you look inside your heart." Definitely, you can be your own hero. We were all created in the image and likeness of God. God is great. We all have the potential to be great. So, you have the potential to be great. Have a self-introspection "and you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you."


3. Invest on having a good attitude this will become your number one most important weapon. Surely, there are many obstacles that you will go through once you pursue your dreams and goals in life. But doing things in a joyous atmosphere, possessing an optimistic and positive outlook in living life will make things easier for you and everything will turn and flow the way you want it. "A good attitude is contagious."


4. If you concentrate on your dreams and work on your goals, there is self-actualization. So, "what you focus on becomes your reality." What do you see in a dirty window? Exactly, the dirt in the window. If you have been presented a business opportunity and you are skeptical about it, you only see the "dirt" or the downside of it. But if you have seen the good side of it, you would focus on the advantages and what is good about the business. Then, you are inspired to get to the top just like the achievers of your chosen networking company or even exceed your up line's monthly earnings. You might even get passed your top leader. Aspire and believe! Act on your dreams now. Get amazed by your own unlimited potential.


5. Problems are unavoidable. We encounter circumstances along our way which are beyond our control. There are things in life and changes which are bound to happen. Well, "you cannot change what happens but you can only change your reaction to it." Instead, embrace changes and a new you certainly grows. Bring it on!


6. As the famous adage goes, "there is always a way." Now, it is our job to find that way. Make your goal the core of your being. Do not get preoccupied by interferences and distractions. Find a way to solve your problem and not focus on the problem itself. When you have a problem, try to write it down. Or better yet shout your problem on a vast space. Let it echo. The point is if you keep on talking about your problem, you don't get anything done. But if you do something about it, it starts to dissolve. After venting, think, sit, plan and act. Then, declare "I can, I can, I can, and I will!" Surely, it will pass like the past problems you have dealt before.


7. Your income will become the average of your five closest friends' incomes. From Jeff Olson's "The Slight Edge Philosophy." "Did you know that your income will tend to be the average of your ten best friends' incomes? (If having more income is a goal of yours, either get new friends or raise the income of the friends you have now!) If you want to raise the quality of your life, hang out with people who have been there and done that. If you want to be a success in business, hang around successful business people. Do you know why birds of a feather flock together? Because they're all going in the same direction. They share a common vision. If you're after a goal-any goal-go find the people who have achieved that goal, or who are well along the path to attaining that goal, and be with them, hang out with them, camp on their doorstep. It's called the Law of Association. It's a Law because it always works." Protect your attitude by believing in a Higher Power. Always only be around positive people. Help someone everyday. "It is one of the most beautiful compensations in life . . . we can never help another without helping ourselves." Stay away from the news! Why? It sensationalizes negativities in life. It generates pessimism instead of positivity. At least, achieve one of your goals everyday. Read self-improvement books. Listen to empowering motivational self-help speeches on leadership seminars.


8. If you desire transformation in your life, first you must change. Get ready with your metamorphosis.


9. A little sacrifice now won't hurt you. If your goal is to change your family's future forever, begin now. It is never too late. A move or a step will accrue in time. In the end, you will be surprised that you got to the top of the mountain all by yourself.


10. Know thy purpose. Search the reason deep in yourself. Everything begins with a purpose. And when you know the purpose of your life, you will have a sense of direction.


In knowing your purpose in life, it would not seem tiresome. Those who have tried network marketing especially its top elite and leaders that started out as 'small,' ordinary and average type of people would attest to this: When you know the purpose and reason why you joined a networking company, your life evolves. You will have a tremendous sense of self-fulfillment with all your accomplishments in life. For, it is only when you have found your purpose in life that it starts to have meaning. When you offer and do everything in life for the glory of God, all falls into place.
