Part 1

Your plan does not have to be elaborate. Pick goals that inspire you. In this video, I share a few simple ideas of how I achieved a few of my goals.

Part 2

Slice and Dice -To slice and dice is to break down something into smaller parts or to examine it from different viewpoints so that you can understand it better. Let’s say one of your sales goals for the month is to set 40 phone appointments. You can slice this goal up into different categories of lead generation tactics you might use to achieve this goal like referrals or precession. How are you going to produce the results?

Track to Run – What is your track to run on? The concept of a track to run on comes from Ben Feldman, who was the world’s greatest life insurance sales representative during his era, selling what was then a record $1.8 billion in policies. Feldman saw these income targets as goals he was running towards. In order to run to these goals, he needed something to run on, a path or strategy defining how he would reach his goals. This is where he got the term “track to run on”.

Module 5 – Goal Setting Mindsets 

Think BIG! When you think big, it can shift your thinking to come up with a better plan. Another mindset is setting safe goals. This is where you set goals where you already to know you’re going to accomplish it. Success has more to do with goal choices than abilities. The purpose of a goal is to stretch you. 

Module 6 – Setting Health and Financial Goals 

When it comes to your health goals, one way powerful way to think about is to set the goal at least a year in advance. Do you have a written lifetime net worth goal? By having this goal, it will require you to have a written plan and to take action.
