Welcome to episode 103. This is part two of two episodes to plan for your best Direct Sales year yet.
If you’ve already listened to episode 102 you have done some work, you have spent time thinking, maybe journaling, on the three focus areas I gave you in that episode.
It’s important groundwork to give you a solid foundation to do the work I give you in this episode.
Don’t be fooled by the short length of this episode. It’s packed with key strategies and this is where you’ll spend your time. Implementing what I give you today.
Ok, let’s get started.
I want you to shift your thinking toward the year ahead, but I want you to start with the end in mind. It is the end of next year.
I want you to think about one year from now. Think one year ahead. Whenever you’re listening, think ahead one year from this day. For example, my episodes drop every Tuesday.
If you happen to be listening on Tuesday, January 2nd, 2024, I want you to say to yourself, ok, it’s January 2nd, TWENTY TWENTY FIVE.
Your “Best Year Yet Accomplishments” In Your Direct Sales Business
As you reflect on your year, what did you accomplish in 2024, over the past year, that made it your best year yet?!
Not your most mediocre year. Not your, so-so, it was an ok year, but your BEST year. After all, this is the crazy big dreams podcast you’re listening to. So let’s identify what made it your best year yet!
As you do this I recommend a good brain dump of things to identify. Just let your mind go. As you brain dump and come up with ideas and things you want to do, create, experience, or accomplish, you’ll get more and more ideas that come up.
Just go with it. Capture everything. Use a voice recorder, or pen to paper or type it out, however you work best. Just capture it all.
Once you’ve captured everything that comes to mind, and again this isn’t just stuff, it’s what you accomplished to clearly identify that this was your best year yet!
Once you’ve captured everything I want you to choose your top 8 to 10 achievements.
Spend as much time as you need to complete this before moving on. Literally hit pause and do this work and then press play to continue.
Looking at your list of top 8 to 10 achievements, Here’s your first question:
What did you do differently to achieve these?
What did you have to let go of?
And because the leader and person you’ve been to get where you are is not the leader and person you need to become to get where you want to go,
Who WERE you being to achieve any one of these? Who were you being as a leader? Who were you being as a person?
Now write down 1 or 2 things you need to stop doing to be that person and leader.
Write down 1 or 2 things you need to start doing to be that person and leader.
And go ahead and surprise yourself here. Don’t judge what comes up. It may not be anything about your business.
Maybe you need to stop binging Netflix. I don’t know. Maybe you need to stop the negative self-talk. Maybe you need to stop staying up too late at night.
Maybe you need to start waking up earlier. Maybe you need to start drinking more water. Maybe you need to start those monthly focus groups you’ve been wanting to do for so long. I don’t know what you would call the group, but that thing you’ve been wanting to start, is directly related to your business.
Again, the work is to write down 1 or 2 things you need to stop doing and 1 or 2 things you need to start doing to be that leader and person.
The leader and person that accomplishes what you want to make this your best year yet.
You know what it is. The answers are right there. It’s what’s coming up for you. Right now. Capture it. Write it down. Let yourself be surprised.
I’m going to leave you with these last few words of inspiration. You may have heard them before.
Watch your thoughts, they become your words.
Watch your words, they become your actions.
Watch your actions, they become your habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.
The best is yet to come! Always.
