We're halfway through the year, Where do you stand on accomplishing your goals

If you are serious about your business you more than likely put together a game plan at the beginning of the year.  So as of today with 6 months gone, where to you stand.  Are you on track to accomplish what you planned to accomplish this year or do you need to make some adjustments?

If you don't have a clear idea of where you want to go and how to get there you won't make it.  It's sort of like taking a road trip.  Forget about GPS for a minute, that's the lazy way to get from point A to point B.  Lets talk about the old fashioned way of doing it.  First you decide where you want to go and then you grab your atlas and plan your route.  Now you may have a plan but that does not mean your trip will go perfectly.  You may run into closed roads and detours so you have to adjust.  You break out the atlas an look for an updated route.

It's the same thing with your yearly business "map".  External things you cannot control can affect your business and you will need to make adjustments.  Economic factors, even other businesses can affect yours.  So take the time now to evaluate and adjust your plan for the last half of the year.  You will have a much better chance of reaching your business goals by having a current plan of action to use as a guide.

Hi Cheryl, you are absolutely correct. I have my MAIN focus on ONE site with the others getting time as 'needed'. Since starting this method I am doing fine in all of them. Obviously the stats are lower in the other 2 but that is to be expected. I am getting my best stats right where I want them. Hi strosdegoz you are correct about what you say when it comes to MLM. I wish I had a buck for every time I started from 0. Heck I probably would not be HERE if that were the case...LOL I'd be sipping some cool drink on a beach somewhere. Karl

Hard work and "sticktoitiveness" Are a very important part of success but sometimes an evaluation to help you work smarter is needed.

Hello Everyone :)

Halfway of the year and things are going Great.
I don't have much details to give but one thing counts for everyone.

Work hard and you will get rewarded.
Do NOT GIVE UP.
Never Quit, if you are into an MLM company and you choose to quit to join a different one, then you will be only starting from 0.

Kind Regards

P.S. Enjoy life

You can definitely get overwhelmed. I'm in three businesses but I spend all of my time only on one. It's impossible for me to do all three and give them all the time they need to proper. I work my identity theft and legal services business and the other two get a little something if I have time left over.

THANKS Cheryl. Another thing I should mention here is when I first got involved in network marketing(and this includes even before I had a computer). My FIRST mistake was taking on TOO MANY things at one time. I joined EVERY 'plan' or should I say SCAM that was thrown my direction. I quickly found myself going round round in circles and going NOWHERE in aANY of them. I FINALLY sorted out the trash from the legitimate ones, then I even sorted out the 'good' ones and decided to focus on just a FEW of the good ones. Once I did that, I was and AM able to focus on my MAIN sites. I mean I had approx 25 traffic exchanges I was trying to do daily, I have 3 and that is for advertising purposes. I am getting the RESULTS I want from each one because I can put in the TIME required for each one therefore I get MORE traffic to the SITES I WANT SEEN. It's al ABOUT numbers. When done correctly the desired results will follow. Have a great day everyone.

I always plan my goals out and break it down to what I need to do in 6 3 and one month increments, then I break it down to weeks and days.

In my early teaching years, I was taught that If you fail to plan, then plan to fail.
This is mandatory in my profession, so I know how important it is for my business.

I like to take things a step further and write it down, visualize it. and because of this, my
photography business is growing.

I will always be a student!

Karl, that point deserved to be emphasized. I too at one point fell into the unreasonable goals trap. That is why I know try to plan out what I need to do for the year and reevaluate regularly.

ChicoSpaGal, THe thing is that we all need to look at where we are periodically in our plan. It's much easier to make small adjustments on a regular basis than try to redo an entire plan at the last minute.

What an awesome "mid year checkpoint."
What I love about goals is you can always start over.
This blog can be encouraging or discouraging. If you aren't halfway to your goal by now, adjust your goals and get going!
For me, my goal is to not have to work to send my child to daycare. The little one is due in January and I am due back to work in May of 2009. My husband and I can probably juggle our schedules for a little while. I figure I need to be pretty close to ready to quit my job by May 2010. That means replacing my corporate income, PLUS my insurance benefits.
The first step is BELIEVING. And I DO!

Hi Cheryl. THANKS for emphasizing my point. I made the point because I MADE the MISTAKE. I hope others can LEARN from MY mistake and grow in whatever venture it is they are doing. If ONE person GAINS from my mistake then I will feel good.
