If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I wanted to stop in quickly today and wish you and yours a wonderful
New Year and a prosperous one as well!! I appreciate you so much!
I look forward to another great year of sales tips, new projects for
you to enjoy, new resourses, and most of all growth in both your
business and mine.
I know that it’s time to sit down and get those goals and dreams
updated and refreshed for 2009 and I am working on that. How about
you? I have a special note book that I use because I like to sit and
put paper to pen and just let my thoughts wander and enjoy. However
you set your goals, have fun and remember to update them through
the coming year.
Take care and we will see you in 2009!!!!

With 2008 winding down quicker than we can comprehend, it is time to think about getting our goals and business plans set and updated for 2009.
I sit down with a notebook and gaze out to nowhere and be still and listen. Soon ideas and goals start to formulate. Jotting things down and then expanding and editing usually helps me onto the track of where I am going and where I should be going.
Have you set a date to sit and formulate your plans? Time’s a tickin. Before we know it, the holiday season madness is on us and the new year has begun. Take the time now and rough your plans out and come January, you will be ready to hit the streets running.
You know what really sucks is that I jot down all these great ideas for posts, articles and weekly tips and such because I can’t remember this mornings breakfast anymore, but now I can’t remember where I put my list. So I guess the tip for today will be use the same notebook to write down your thoughts, goals and not scraps of paper somewhere on your desk. GRRRR
Does this mean I am suggesting organization in your office? NOOOooooo!! Am I getting senile? Old?…. *sigh*

Since it is mid year, now would be a good time to update and check your progress on your yearly goals.
What tweaks do you need to make?
What things do you need to start working on to complete by year end?
What have you accomplished already?

Those of us that are our own boss know that the best part about that IS that we are our own boss!
The worst part about being our own boss, is that we are our own boss!
HUH
Working at home and/or being our own boss means we have to motivate ourselves. We have to set our own goals and we have to be responsible to ourselves.
Unless you have a spouse that asks you every day,
How much did you make today?
What did you sell?
How many contacts and appointments did you get?
Need motivation? Get a spouse!

That is a huge word in the sales language and in our sales world. If we are not in full commitment to our business, we will not perform and reach our goals.
How many excuses have you used this week for why you did not reach your goal, whatever that goal may have been?
How many times did other things get in the way of making your goal?
If we are in full committment to our job, and yes this is a job, then we need to be working it as a full time job and a full time commitment.
We are all guilty of being a bit lazy from time to time, but if we are, then we need to lay the blame of why are have not reached our sales goal or our personal goal right where it belongs. With ourselves. We cannot blame the kids, or the dog or our spouse. We cannot blame the company, the products, the late deliveries, the hostesses. It is our job and we need to be committed to giving 100%, 100% of the time.
This is where scheduling your time becomes critical. If you are a stay at home mom, then you have to block out times to be effective and work your job.
If you wonder why you are not making money or reaching your goals, look at your commitment level and decide if your job is worth recommiting to or not.
