Vision vs. Fear

Do you have your vision set for your business? Is it hard for you to reach your goals? Is fear deterring you from setting a clear vision and achieving it? Don't let fear become an obstacle to your future. If you can visualize it, you can achieve it!

Let's talk about vision. What is your vision? Set your vision, write it and believe it. According to Andy Stanley, author of Visioneering, a vision is a clear image of what could be that is nurtured by knowing that's how it should be.  To me, a vision is more than a goal. A vision is what you see your future should be. A goal (long or short term) is a stepping stone or marker that allows you to see that you are heading straight for the vision you have set for yourself.

As Stanley explains in his book, your vision tells you "I could be this....  Maybe I could do this...." And that vision lets you know that that's how it should be! Vision is a preferred future. It's a point in destiny; your preferred future. Your vision requires change because it presents itself in contrast to a present you are living now - as is. A vision becomes reality when we take risks. It requires visionary people who, with heart, soul and passion, can see past what is in front (present) of them and to move past that and act upon the idea, the vision, that has been placed in their heart with much value.

When we talk about vision, that image, that preferred future, that point and place that you know it's where you want to be, that vision does not encompass only one area, it encompasses your entire life, future, and family.  If you set a vision for your business, when you set it and see your preferred future, you see yourself, your family and those around you and those you can help and bless. That's why a vision has to do with passion and value. Because when you can see yourself in a preferred future, better than your present condition, you must know that it will not only affect you, but all those around you, and for the better!

Wikipedia defines fear as an emotion induced by a perceived threat which causes entities to pull far away from it and hide. Merriam Webster Dictionary defines fear to be afraid and to expect worry about something bad or unpleasant. Dictionary.com defines fear as a distressing emotion caused by impending danger, evil, pain - whether the treat is real of imagined. When we talk about fear in our business, the fear that the majority of us face is the "imagined" kind, since I doubt we will have any impending real danger of dying or getting sick because of our vision or setting a goal. The fear that usually comes to deter us from achieving our vision is the imagined fear, the False Evidence Appearing Real type.  It's the fear of failure, not doing my best, what will others think or say. And we come up with so many excuses to not act because of those fears. We "want" to sell, recruit, book parties, coach, train; but we find ourselves having to leave our comfort zone in order to achieve success in those areas. That's where the fear comes in, a distressing emotion of impending pain, the thing is that when it's imagined, it usually tends to be worse than it really is.

As Joyce Meyer puts it, take the focus off of performance - of being judged and criticized by others -that can paralyze us.  Fear stops our own progress. If we make a mistake, we get up and try again. We are all human! We need to just stop focusing on how others will react, how we will perform, if we will be judged, if they say no.... we need to get that fear of failure out of our heads and just tackle those fears in order to conquer that vision, that preferred future!

Andy Stanley gives a few questions we should ask ourselves in order to see what those fears are exactly, to be able to tackle them. If we answer these questions honestly, we should be able to conquer those fears and begin to conquer our vision!
1. What are the things that are currently distracting you from your vision?
2.  What plan of action will you take, what will you do about it?
3.  Within your vision, what is your biggest fear?  What is the worst that could happen?
4.  If that worst happens, what would be the consequences?

If we answer these questions truthfully, then we will realize that we are prepared to handle the worst of the consequences. That should allow us to focus on our vision, knowing that if the worst were to happen, we know how to handle it and move on from it.
We must remember that the majority of times, the fear is in our heads and it isn't as bad as the worst scenario we could ever paint. Know that saying, you are your own worst enemy? Yes, and it's the fear in all of us that becomes that enemy. But when WE know what fear doesn't want us to know, that it's False Evidence Appearing Real, the battle is already won!

Speak your vision and expectations to those around you, to your team members. Let your team members know what their strengths and potential are and how they can use them to better enhance the quality of the team, therefore achieving the expectations that are set before them. Seek out the natural gifting/capability each team member has and let them be made aware of them, praise them for their future successes with those skills and strengths, let them know that they each hold an important place in your team and that they can achieve the expectations 100%.

I put this into work with my own team and I have discovered that when you give your team expectations, they know what they are striving for. I have seen results. I have written and declared my vision for my team for this specific month. And as a team, we all ran with it. Some successes were higher than others, but overall, the team ran with the vision, accepted the declaration and worked hard to achieve the expectation.
Continue to write your vision, set it clear and declare it.
It will come, I promise!

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” -Marianne Williamson

“Write the vision;  make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie.  If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay..."  - Habakkuk 2:2-3

Monthly Goal Setting and Planning for your Direct Sales Business

Goal setting and planning is a sure way to get your Direct Sales Business running and growing! Whether your plans be to increase sales, bookings, coaching, recruiting or team building training, specific steps are required in order to reach success. If you are struggling with developing a plan of action, ask yourself the following questions and as you answer them, you will be setting your goals and developing your plan of action! Get to it, success awaits you!



First Step: Create a personalized monthly plan with goals that will get you to increase and grow. Keep it simple, but effective!
Ask yourself these questions and set your goals accordingly.

• How much money do I want to earn this month?
• How many leads (new contacts, potential customers, potential hosts, potential recruits) do I want to gain per week? (Social Media, referrals, person to person)
• How many of those leads do I want to convert into customers, hosts, recruits? (follow up, calls, parties, demos, sponsorship interview, sponsorship layering)
• What level or promotion within my team will I qualify for this month?  What are the specific ways to achieve this level (sales, recruits, training my team to reach their next level)?

Second Step:  List the objectives you need to focus on to achieve the goals mentioned in the First Step. These objectives will lead you to constant daily actions and put your goals in place and in target. You need to be specific and answer the questions with reasonable numbers that you really want to achieve.

• How much will you personally sell to achieve your sales goal?  (Home demos, parties, one on one, re-orders, follow up, courtesy calls, specials)...
• How can you network this month to generate more leads? (Networking Meetings, Open House Events, Fairs, Fundraisers, Personal sales and sharing.)
• What are your available dates for sponsorship meetings, host coaching, parties and demos? How am I going to follow up with customers and referrals and provide great customer service? By having a clear calendar with open dates, you will be able to see a true reflection of how much you have worked in the month. Schedule your follow up calls and customer courtesy service on your calendar.
• Are you tracking personal sales and team sales?  Is your personal sales volume and your team volume where it needs to be in order to promote within your team and achieve your goal?  Offer team incentives, trainings, coaching, and be in constant communication with your team, letting them know the team goal and how much is needed before month's end in order to achieve it.

Once you have done Step 1 and Step 2, you have developed a monthly plan to put into action. Congratulations. Lead by example and let your team know that you have goals set for your team and that you will be doing your part along with them in order to achieve these goals. Goal set with your team. Make vision boards. Share with your team what your expectations are and have them share with you as well.  You're on your way to success! Keep developing monthly plans like this one and you are sure to see growth!

Are you working SMART?

Are you working SMART?!

Are you sharing your Business Opportunity with everyone? Think of yourself as being selfish if you don't share this opportunity with everyone. If you are a representative for your Direct Sales Company, you joined it for a reason (or many reasons), why not share it with others and let them decide if they want to join the adventure? 

Work Smart!
S - specific goals
M- measurable goals
A- attainable goals
R - realistic goals
T - timely goals

Make your goals out to be weekly or bi-weekly, monthly, for 6 months and for 1 year, and make them specific to sales and team building... that way you're working SMART!

Someone can always do your job a little better or faster or cheaper than you can. The job might be difficult, it might require skill, but it's a job.

Your art is what you do when no one can tell you exactly how to do it. Your art is the act of taking personal responsibility, challenging the status quo, and changing people. I call the process of doing your art 'the work.' It's possible to have a job and do the work, too. In fact, that's how you become a linchpin.

The job is not the work.”  - Seth Godin

It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through. - Zig Ziglar

"It's not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are." -Roy Disney


Theme:   Comfort Zone

“We cannot expect to grow if we are too afraid or unwilling to change and face challenges. When we exit our everyday, mundane lifestyles to do something different we can experience growth, undiscovered strength, and new abilities within ourselves.”  -Ashley Ormon
“...often, stepping outside your comfort zone is not careless irresponsibility, but a necessary act of obedience.” -Andy Stanley “If we're growing, we're always going to be out of our comfort zone.” - John Maxwell

“The greater the loyalty of a group toward the group, the greater is the motivation among the members to achieve the goals of the group, and the greater the probability that the group will achieve its goals.”  -Rensis Likert 

 
 Theme:  Achieving

"The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure." -John C. Maxwell


 Theme:  Accomplishment

"A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals." -Larry Bird
