2017 Goal Setting for Networkers

(Seven Tips to Achieve Your Goals)

As we bid farewell to 2016 and welcome 2017, if we take an account of what we did in 2016, we will see most of us are almost in the same place as previous years. After making so many resolutions, the important question is, why are we stuck in the same place for several years?

After being in the Network Marketing business for over fifteen years and coaching thousands of networkers globally, I consider the following reasons for why goals are not achieved:

1. Most people do not have a goal, and if they have one, it is in their minds, which makes it a wish. When you write down your goals and set a deadline, the chances of attaining your goals increases from 5%to 80%.  
2. Most people are ambiguous in setting goals. Remember, clarity and simplicity is the solution to achieving goals.
3. Don’t have too many goals, set one high priority goal.
4. People fail to achieve goals because they have little or no planning. When planning, identify the obstacles in achieving the goals, and then brainstorm action steps to overcome the obstacles.
5. The most critical part is execution. Make a definite plan of action and prioritize it on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.
6. Achieving goals is not a random, one day, or one month action, but it is 365 days of disciplined acts.
7. Many networkers fail to accomplish their goals because they do not have someone to guide them or hold them accountable. Have a coach and mentor.

The goal of a networker should be to build a great network by communicating with people in order to find the right prospects, who will then become their business builders.

I wish you and your loved ones a very prosperous 2017 and beyond!
