First you need to find an exclusive location where you can think properly. Preferably at home and ensure that you are not disturbed for the next 45 minutes at least. Determine what you want to do, achieve, have, reach and give yourself a time period. Determine the resources that you require to ensure that your goals or desires are manifested forthwith. Write these goals down on paper, review, confirm and start working towards their manifestation.

Please ensure that your goals are SMART: specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely.

Visit your goals first thing in the morning and last thing prior to retiring at night. I'd like to assess my progress as I move along especially for short term goals.

Conduct daily, weekly & monthly reviews of your goals. Determine shortfalls and how these can be changed to ensure that you are on track and more importantly, how these goals can be attained or achieved.

Excellent question.

The first step is to self-reflect what is important to you. Once you have identified what is important to you share it with someone else (eg;team member, family member) to make this a REAL condition that you want to attain. You may reframe this by asking yourself what do you really value - what is valuable to you, what do you desire and then list no more than 5 items.

Take these 5 items and narrow down to your top 2 or 3 values and write them down to ensure that you are not distracted from "what is valuable" to you. Once you have identified these 2 or 3 items, then start your heavy lifting on how you can use the resources from your SFI team, from the SFI organization, and your local community to reach your desired outcomes that match these values.

You have just created your goals based on your "WHY" I want to be apart of SFI, you stated your "WHAT" you plan to do with SFI to create the change you're looking for and you have identified the "HOW" you will use SFI to attain your success.

Goals are simply the guide posts to what you ultimately desire to do with SFI. Remember SFI is a way to attain your goals and is also an excellent resource to help others to reach theirs too.

Your goals will assist you to perform your business practice and behaviours on the right track so your goals will provide the guidance on not only what to do but also what not to do too.

There are so many ways to structure your goals such as using the S.M.A.R.T. Goal Structure or even through the use of a Personal Mission and Vision Statement. Which ever structure you choose, it has to be a fit with who you are as a person and your belief system so that you will have follow through to create success for not only yourself but for also those around you.

Goals gives you something to focus your attention on, so that your efforts are aligned to your intentions then you do not become distracted.

Goals are best determined by use of your core values.

Good Luck!

I am assuming you are talking about the monthly goals tab that we fill out for our 5 VP each month. My answer is based on that screen.

The goals you set are your own. These goals help you to focus on what you want to attain with your business. Myself, I am choosing goals that I believe I can reach because it is very discouraging to have unreachable goals. It is very exciting to reach your goals and I love seeing it say "Congrats! You Did It!".

Myself, I usually set my goals a little higher each month so I am gaining, and I work a little harder to make the goals each month. I had 1 EA2 last month, so my goal was 2 EA2 this month. I am excited because I met that goal this month! I will put my goal to 3 EA2's next month and leave it there until I reach it.

I hope I was clear about how to set the right kind of goals, and not too high or out of reach for yourself. If your goals are too high, it will be discouraging when you are unable to reach them. I apply this knowledge to all things in my life and goals I set for myself. Have a great day!

One of the best feature in SFI is the goal setting, which is an important tool to measure our progress and achievement on daily basis. Personally for me,whenever I log in to SFI homepage, I'll alwiz check my goal status, and feel more motivated to work harder or shall I say "surf smartly"?

Before setting a goal, we should alwiz ask ourself what is our aim and the goal should be defined with 5 key points -S.M.A.R.T
S.M.A.R.T stands for:
Specific
Measurable
Action-Oriented
Realistic
Time and Resource Constrained

Our goal should be specific enough so that we know exactly what we are aim or striving for, measurable so we can tell exactly when the goal has been reached, action-oriented to indicate an activity that will produce results, realistic in that it is practical and can be achieved, and time and resources constrained meaning that it has a definite deadline for completion and realizes limited availability of resources within our mean.

The proper defined goal will give you the motivation and persistence to achieve the goal.

Good luck to all SFI members.

Be SMART
SFI provides you all the opportunities on how to attain you goals in doing your business.


Specific
SFI always gives us specific goals, for example the number of PSA you can have for one month.
It also guides us how to attain it.
A specific goal should clearly state what you want to accomplish, why it is an important goal, and how you intend to accomplish the goal.

Measurable
You need to be able to determine, without question, whether or not you are successful in achieving your goal. In SFI you can always monitor your goals by logging in at least once a day.

Attainable
While business goals may often pull you out of your comfort zone and challenge you, if the goal and the parameters you have created are not realistic, you may be setting yourself up for failure. At my first month I set up my goals so high, but after the second month I have able to adjust it and it very attainable. Don’t put more number of PSA’s in your goal if you can’t login to your account at least once a day because the possibility is you can’t get it.

Relevant
The relevancy of a business goal will often determine the likelihood of achieving it. Goals that do not mesh with all of the other factors that directly and indirectly impact your business are often unachievable.

Time-Based
In SFI we have long term goal to improve our standard of living and short term goal which is our monthly goal.
To determine if your goal is time-based, it should include a defined period of time as well as a specific timeline for each step of the process.

Always remember your ultimate goal and don’t give up on it.

Just use common sense. Start small. Don't set unrealistic goals, but don't make them so small that there is no challenge. It's like exercise or learning to climb mountains.

You don't try to climb Mount Everest first. You learn the basics of mountain climbing. You learn how to use your hands and feet, what to wear, what kinds of harnesses and ropes you should have, how and what to eat and drink, exercise and practice on easier ranges, learn about rocks and climate conditions and the dangers of sudden changes like storms and sudden drops in temperatures and map out your known trail. You learn from others and their experiences.

The same is for your goals in SFI. By learning everything there is to know about this business and the Compensation Plan, you decide what is your pace and work on your short-term and long-term goals. When you reach one, then you begin on the next level. You learn from others and learn by doing. You follow your team leaders and your sponsor and co-sponsor, wherever possible. As you make progress, then you change your goals to fit your rate of that progress.

Have fun on this adventure.

Very Simple.
I write a plan on my computer then I work from it daily, so I do not miss any valuable points.
When reading the Ask SC I also copy and paste to this page any new information I feel I would like to refer back to.
This way I have it all organized and on hand to answer any of my down line's questions quickly.

I have set up a SFI Dollar wise Network site. This is where I record step by step guides for all my new down line to follow. I also update this website weekly with the site links for traffic exchanges etc that I promote SFI at weekly.
I have over 30 different sites listed here. This way I can just log in and click the links, do a little surfing then allocate credits to my SFI promotional link. I then close the window and move on to the next site.

Having my website makes it simple as we are not all on line on our computers at the same time.
Being in New Zealand, I find this very valuable as down line can go and read all the information here and find most answers to all their questions if I am asleep in bed.
There is nothing worse than waiting for your sponsor to reply.
I try to encourage all down line to follow my daily plan. Organization is the key.
To start daily at SFI then move on to promoting SFI daily.
Most important when you set goals and ask your down line to do the same. Make sure to put into practice what you suggest.
Example I make sure to have a standing order monthly.
I encourage this to be the first goal to set.
My second goal. I recommend is to source products from local markets to sell on down line ECA websites. I already make my own product that I sell.
Third goal is to promote and build.

Firstly, you as an individual know well your strengths and weaknesses so maintain your areas of strength and work to improve your weaknesses.
To start with setting goals, one must start with the END in mind. What do I want to achieve in 10 years time? 5 years time? Then you break it down to yearly goals, monthly goals, weekly goals, daily goals and even hourly goals.
That is why SFI has provided a monthly goal and daily To-Do List.
So it really depends on where you want to be in the END. Most of us want to be on the top so in order to be on the top you have to start by achieving today's goals which is basically logging in everyday to work on the To-Do List and gain all daily VersaPoints, Communicating with downline/upline, Sponsoring, Duplication and referring members to Tripleclicks and all that is stated in the SFI rules of Success.
Set your goals high and ensure they are achievable and remember to always celebrate an achievement, even if it is only small.
Thanks and keep aiming high.

The best thing to do, in my estimation, is start off by setting very realistic and achievable goals, based on your current situation. Example: if you are currently ranked 10,000 in VP for the month - it is ridiculous to set a goal for 100 this month; instead, what would be better is to set a goal of 9500 or 9000 - this way you are already close to achieving.

I believe that if you do this with many of your goals, you will get a chance, monthly, to see where you generally rank in different things. Once you understand your average ranking - stretch yourself to something that "seems" close enough, but something that you haven't already achieved.

Goals are about stretching yourself to your full potential. If you always reach it, it's not really a goal, but a game.

I'll show you 10 steps to the goal. 1.DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT. Goal setting is the opposite of floating through life letting things happen to you. If you don't know what you want to achieve, be and succeed at in life, then you risk being open to doing whatever others suggest. Setting goals requires you to make a decision about what you actually want. Striving for those goals lets you achieve your known desires. And goal setting requires setting a deadline, so that you don't waste precious time. 2.START SMALL, BUT KEEP WALKING. Goals don’t necessarily have to be big. Indeed, when you set your goal too high, you might find it overwhelming and too time consuming, so you just give up or keep on changing goals rather than achieving anything. Bear in mind that goal setting isn't all about success––there will be setbacks. This is why small goals are preferable because you can measure achievement and the setbacks don't knock you about so harshly. 3.MATCH YOUR GOALS TO RELEVANT AREAS OF LIFE. It's not unusual to have general goals that apply to all areas of your life. Things like, “I want to be successful”, or “I want to be rich”. They're aspirations with broad intent rather than specific road maps. By detailing your goals into specific realms of your life, you'll gain more control and sense of purpose over them. 4.BE POSITIVE WHEN STATING YOUR GOALS. Instead of saying, “I am not going to miss my exercise routine today”, say "I’ll make time for 20 minutes on the treadmill.” Stating your goal positively will help you view it as a good thing to do, and not as a by-product of what you have to avoid. 5.DON'T UNDERESTIMATE YOURSELF. It’s tempting to sometimes just slack off or let yourself off too easily. If you want to write the definitive American novel, then don’t try to churn out just a page or two a day when you know you're more than capable of writing five pages, even ten. The fear of failure is sometimes to blame for setting our goals too low. How often have you said something like, “I don’t really want to volunteer for that project ‘cause I might screw it up. And then my colleagues will make fun of me”? A lot, probably. 6.WRITE IT DOWN. Putting your goal down on paper is more than just memorizing it. You are actually confirming your willingness to make it come true. A written list of goals is an effective reminder of what you need to do. Once you’re done, write a good review of your accomplishment. A simple list on a piece of notebook paper is fine. Or, use a computer program to really jazz it up if that's your thing. You may want to hang up the written goal sheet somewhere, as a constant reminder to work toward your goals: inside your closet, the back of your medicine cabinet door, or on your bulletin board near your desk. 7.AFFIRM IT. Affirmation is really more than writing down, “I am going to buy my $750,000 home by Christmas”, twenty times. It’s about being conscious not only of your thought processes, but also of your acts during the day. If you’re trying to save money and then you pass by a shop window where a great pair of shoes seems to have your name on it, think, “If I buy those shoes, would I be making my goal of saving easier? Will I be able to meet my deadline if I splurge just this once? A few months from now if I don’t meet my deadline because I didn't save enough, would I feel good about it?”. 8.STOP PROCRASTINATING. So you’ve heard this before. Big deal. Well, it is. Time wastage is one of the greatest crimes in history. If Henry Ford put off studying and tinkering with machines for another time, someone else would have improved on automobiles and he wouldn't have gone down in history as a pioneer. If you’re used to procrastination, being bullheaded about a goal can seem scary at first. Try to set a schedule and then reward yourself each time you meet it. 9.HABTUATE YOURSELF TO LIKING THE CHALLENGES. The most difficult thing is to like something useful. Many people focus subconsciously on the petty, shallow things in life, such as entertainment, celebrity-watching, wishing after the lifestyles of the rich and famous, etc., and when time comes for focusing on big goals for ourselves, we back out because we see it as beyond our own capabilities. It is simply a misinterpreted relativity. There is reason to feel worthless before a big goal just because you have been liking petty goals. Substitute the shallow with thinking big when you're setting goals––allow yourself to think great thoughts. 10.REVIEW YOUR PROGRESS. After setting, affirming and doing, comes reviewing. This article is focused on the setting. But as part of setting your goals, be sure to write in occasional statements requiring you to "review this goal's progress". It's an important reminder to keep you on the path of achieving the goals you've set yourself. Now go set your goals and start working on them!
