Unrealistic Goals Are Unattainable

At the beginning of starting a new business, people get so fired up about setting goals.

Everyone is capable of setting goals and flowery resolutions but most of the time; they will throw in the towel after a few weeks… maybe even after a few days of seeing no progress!

You know how the gym is always be packed around New Year’s Day with people resolving to get it shape but it is usually empty by the end of the month. People tend to fail in reaching their goal and resolutions because they do not set realistic goals at all!

Flaky, ambiguous goals like get rich, buy a new car, make 10,000 dollars in two weeks, donate more money and spend more time in weekly worship are all examples of goals that do not have any deadlines or any urgency factors. This is one of the first fallacies of unrealistic goal setting.

Here’s how you can set a realistic goal – by imposing a deadline and setting them as realistic as possible.

Which do you think is easier, eating your lunch on time or going out there to save the world Obviously it is easier to achieve easy goals compared to unrealistic goals right When you are able to break down your goals into easier, more manageable chunks, you will be able to ‘swallow’ them easily without choking on them. “Eat the elephant one bite at a time.”

Next, when you are able to meet your goals without putting in too much effort, you can set a deadline that is easy enough to meet. A goal such as getting up at 730 am and going to work TOMORROW is easier to achieve than just setting a goal that merely says – wake up earlier and go to work. Your mind will kick in and switch on when you set your goals with specifics!

Now for network marketing goals, you can accomplish them if you make realistic goals like meet 3-5 prospects a day. Make 20 phone calls a day, 10 by the day and 10 by night. Don’t write down unrealistic goals such as getting a team of 500 people by the end of the year. It is just plain unrealistic because you do not have a road map or a blue print how you are going to achieve it.

Once again, contemplate whether it is easier to accomplish 10 phone calls by today or to get 100 downlines by the end of the year Therefore, by breaking down your goals in network marketing, you will increase your chances for success.
