I want to talk to you and get YOU excited about YOUR business. No matter if you have been really successful or not, I
want you to completely forget it. The things we have coming out are
going to become complete game changers. I want you to get
excited about what is to come.
I want to talk to you about Goal Setting. I do
my goal setting a little different from SMART Goal setting. It didn't work for me. I got so frustrated that I didn't even want to
make goals anymore. I took on a different idea about goal
setting. I started setting BOLD goals and my whole life has changed. It had a
lot to do with the way I approached everything.
Smart Goals- specific measurable attainable realistic
timely goals are so BORING! If you just got into Ameriplan as a
hobby, if you are going to put the time into it, why not get more out of
it? If you are going to put the same amount of time, energy effort
etc. Why not be BOLD – Big Outrageous Legendary Dream goal? These are fun. The
people that have changed our world in way that blow our mind have developed BOLD
goals. They made bold moves, bold strategies and they put commitment
and drive. “All good fortune is a gift of the gods, and you don’t win the favor
of the ancient gods by being good, but by being bold” – Anita
Brookner. We are taught to live mediocre, we are taught to be
bold. It doesn’t feel good when you don’t give it your
all. Even if you don’t achieve that goal, you can at least say I gave
it my all.
Being BOLD
takes courage. I want you to set goals
that make people laugh at you, that make them think you are
crazy. It’s OK. Steve Jobs was laughed out of his office
and fired from his own company for pushing the limits and being bold. But
he changed the world with the IPhone. Talk to people, break out of
your shell, these things require courage. All these game changers
began scared. We have all been there, but it takes courage to
continue. You have chosen an amazing opportunity to get into
Ameriplan. I know some of what is coming, there is some really good
stuff going on behind the scenes. I encourage you to hang on and let
us get in place. When you put it out there that you want to make
$25,000 with this company, it is obtainable, but it does require courage. What
if you DID achieve it? What if you really did start writing 10
memberships per month? What if you did recruit 10 people a
month? Somewhere down the line we are told that you can’t do these
things. Small children when asked what you want to be when you grow
up, they haven’t been told they can’t be something, and it’s a beautiful thing
to hear them say they want to be president, or a doctor, a lawyer or in my 8
yr. old son’s case, a chef on the moon because astronauts need to
eat. So my question to you is What if you DID achieve
it? I personally love a challenge. You can’t be limited
to what people tell you that you are limited to. What if you really
did decide to put Ameriplan your #1? What if you decided that what
you wanted to do was retire, go back to college, or buy a new car, house, boat,
put your kids through college because of Ameriplan? It can
happen. I have lived it happen, my husband & oldest son are now
college graduates. It really is possible. But you have to
be willing to say what if I did….and make bold
goals.
4 Steps to get started
1. Why did you join Ameriplan/FAHT? What
did you expect of your business?
2. How do you want to work your business?
3. Consider your personal situation – do not COMPARE
yourself to anyone! Comparison is the thief of joy. What do you
have going on? How can you work your business aside from
that? The opportunity is there for you, what are you going to do
with it?
4. IGNORE REALITY – what if money did matter? What
if time didn’t matter? What if you had nothing in your way? Then
what would your goal be? We should all be dreamers. The
beauty in this industry, the more you help others, the more you help yourself.
The million dollar question – Why are you thinking so
SMALL? We are taught we need to bring it down to the social
norm. Be BOLD. I want you to get excited about
your business, your life, your opportunity. Why are you thinking so
small? You can do great things, you are capable. Be BOLD – Be COURAGOUS. You
are deserving of having a wonderful business, you are capable, we are giving
you all the tools you need. The only thing standing in your way is YOU. Let’s
start thinking BIG!
“Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool
or you go out in to the ocean” – Christopher Reeve
Take that bold risk and BE what you want to
be. You aren’t designed to be mediocre. With your goals,
make them crazy, not only in Ameriplan but in your life. I want you
to dare to dream. Worst case scenario, you won’t hit your
goal. When you don’t mean your small goals, you beat yourself up,
because you SHOULD meet them. When I put in my BOLD GOALS, I
dared to dream, and I worked hard to get them and some days I hit them!
Your homework is:
My Goals:
Short Term
Goal:______________________________________________________________
Long Term
Goal:_______________________________________________________________
Set these goals with everything thrown out the
window. Don’t let time or money stand in your way. Set
them BOLD. And it doesn’t have to be in business, it
could be in your life. Don’t think small. These are
totally up to you. Be BOLD, be courageous!
Know we leaders are here every day with you, We want you
to be BOLD.
