Beginning a new year with positive intention is probably what all of us start January with. Whether it is new year resolutions or goal setting, the period between Christmas and New Years Day is often about planning new beginnings.
I know we can do it any day, but it seems that we view the calendar year as a way to shed off the negative and begin again in a positive way. New beginnings. New direction. New belief. Hope and optimism.
Sometimes it lasts, most often it doesn’t. So I thought I would share some thoughts on this.
This is a new year – 2021. We have endured a terrible Covid-19 pandemic. Lockdowns. Social distancing. Masks. Life restrictions that some of us have found incredibly difficult.
Then there is the debates. Social media on meltdown with alternative views and people arguing. Often without truly listening to each other. Fixed views.
And as we have entered a new year, 2021,it’s not at an end.
So finding optimism after all that, it is to me, pretty hard to do. Yet I am reminded of a quote my mentor embedded into me many years ago.
“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe , the mind can achieve.”
Napolean Hill
So let’s start by conceiving.
What do you want to achieve in 2021? Is there a goal in your home business that you would like to achieve? I have. I am very close to a personal ranking goal in my network marketing business. So that is the first thing to tick off. So I need to break that down into some tasks for myself.
- Increase motivating strategies for 3 teams to achieve their next rank.
- Improve the training I deliver to my whole global group
- Begin to be more proactive in my personal sales strategy
- Create a high converting funnel for my team to use to help with online sales
- Work on my own social media activity
There is probably much more I need to do to go to the next level.
I also have some personal goals to tackle.
Like, where am I going to be living in 2022? What do I need to do to achieve that? I have been mulling over moving to Thailand for a while now. Maybe this year is the time to finally put things in place to do that. So that is a big thing to tackle with my family.
So what are the things you want to achieve in 2021?
Why not spend a little time thinking of what you want to achieve by this time in 2022. You could collow the goal setting guidelines below:
- Think about the results you want to see. Before you set a goal, take a closer look at what you’re trying to achieve and ask yourself the following questions: …
- Create SMART goals. …
- Write your goals down. …
- Create an action plan. …
- Create a timeline. …
- Take action. …
- Re-evaluate and assess your progress.
Do you really believe?
If we take the Napolean Hill quote literally, this is the next phase for us. We need to get ourselves in a STATE OF BELIEF!
This is what I took away most of all by my first Unleash The Power Withing Seminar with Tony Robbins. I walked away from that weekend a powerhouse of positivity. I believed! I believed in ME!
After that first weekend with Tony I felt I could achieve anything that I had conceived in my mind!
Then I delved into all sorts of other personal development strategies and for network marketers there are 2 simple audio mentors that I would recommend you listen to as you consider your goals for the year:
The Strangest Secret : Earl Nightingale
Building Your Network Marketing Business: Jim Rohn
It is my promise, if you listen to both of those as you are considering what you wish to achieve this year, then you WILL find your vision and have goals , that if you apply sound strategies, you CAN achieve.
If you make them a MUST, then you will be more certain to achieve them.
When you take away the bridges to safety, you create a MUST environment. No parachutes to normality for you! You CAN and WILL achieve what you desire if you turn your shoulds into musts.
I am talking to myself here, as much as I am to you, my valued reader. We need to control our language to ourselves. Our thoughts are instructions to our brains.
Don’t send messages to our brains that are limiting beliefs.
Let’s believe in ourselves.
Believe that our dreams can become reality if we turn them into goals that we set action plans to!
I hope this post helps you enjoy a most successful 2021. Please let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
Happy and Prosperous 2021
