Multiply Sales Goals By 10!

Do you have a personal sales goal for 2014 in your head?  There are huge benefits if you write it down on a piece of paper.  According to a Harvard study and sales guru Brian Tracy, only 3% of people have written goals and these people accomplish 10 times as much.

If you want to accomplish 10 times as much this year, take 15 or 30 minutes to focus on your goals.  Do you want to hit the minimum move-in number required by your retirement organization?  Are you better than average?  What is realistic?  What is possible?

Writing down your goals is a key to accomplishing them, but what if you make it fun by animating your goals?  If your goals could stand up on your desk and dance around, what would they look like?  Here are a couple of ideas:

• Cut out pictures from magazines and make a collage of your goals.
• Draw a picture of your goals.
• Turn a piece of clay or silly putty into your goal.
• Write your goals with Crayola washable window markers or lipstick on your your bathroom mirror.
• Make a short power point of your goals.

Whichever method you select, keep your goals visually front and center on a daily basis.  Speak them into existence and have a prosperous 2014.
