As many of you are looking to create goals for 2013 I thought I’d share this idea with you. This is my goal board which I have posted right across from my bed. I can’t wake up or go to bed without looking at it.

This is my goal board in my bedroom. A while back I set a goal of sponsoring 50 new distributors. I knew that if I did this it would help me reach my goal of becoming an executive. The odds are that out of those 50 1 or 2 of them will end up being leaders. I know that by going out and sponsoring 50 new people and getting another leader or two in my business I should reach the next rank in my company.. Every time I sponsor a new person I flip the cards over and write their name on it in a green sharpie. (green for money!) It has been very inspirational to follow the progress this way as I’m now over half way to my goal!

For further inspiration to the left and right are more vision boards. A hot rod car that I plan to buy myself when I reach my goal. Also there is a picture of the SOC Executive watch I will receive when I make my next rank in my company. An “I Am” statement poster and a Vision Board poster from the SOC Photo Store.  These are items sold by our company to help us envision our goals.

These ideas were originally shared with me by Jordan Adler. Jordan is the #1 income earner in our company and also the author of “Beach Money” a best selling network marketing book.

What do you think of this idea?  What are some of your goals for 2013?

Dear readers,

Let’s talk about dream building today.

You need to have a dream. You need to have a WHY.

One way to figure out your why is to figure out what you would do if you made a lot of money.

If you made superstar singer/actor/supermodel/gangster/rapper money… Which charities would you support?

• Kiva - helps the poverty stricken start businesses AND repay the loan
• Heifer - helps the poverty stricken raise food/livestock AND pay it forward to others
• Make a Wish - helps the terminally ill get one last wish
• Habitat for Humanity - helps the under privileged get housing
• Susan G Komen – breast cancer research
• Red Cross - emergency response – but they do much more
• Shriners Hospitals – provides free orthopedic and burn care to children under 18
• Your Church? 

On my dream board I wrote out a personal check to charitable organizations that I want to donate too. The checks are very large.  I don’t have that much in my account yet… but when I do I am looking forward to being able to make those donations.

Dear Reader,

Let’s talk about dream building.

How far apart are your dreams and your beliefs?

Do you believe your dreams are realistic?

Do you believe you can achieve your dreams?

I was at a personal development seminar this weekend where we were talking about goal setting and dreams.  One of the guys who was sharing his dreams mentioned:

“Some of these are a bit of a stretch for me and some are already true.”

At this point one of my mentors suggested that he try to move his dreams and his beliefs closer together.

Now think about that for a moment.

My mentor suggested that if you can move your dreams closer to your beliefs… If you can begin to believe your dreams… If you believe they will come true, and come true soon… That is when achiveing your dreams becomes effortless.  That is when it becomes easy.

For some of us our goals and dreams are so far out there that we don’t believe them. For example if your goal is to make $100,000 a month and you’ve never even earned $10,000 a month then that goal is probably to far out there. You probably don’t really believe you can accomplish it.

Now let’s say your goal is to make $20,000 a month in your business and you’ve already earned $10,000 a month… then this is a realistic goal. You believe you can do it. You KNOW you can do it.

This is a great reminder for when we’re goal setting.

It is also a little dream building trick we can work on.  Physically work on believing those goals can be a reality.  One way to do this is to spend time every day on our goals and dreams. Spend time reading them to ourselves and visualizing them.  Reporgram our subconscious mind to accept those dreams as reality.

What are some of your dreams? Do you practice dream building regularly? Do you believe you can achieve your dreams?

Dear readers,

Have you ever thought of owning a private island?

Did you know there is a magazine dedicated to owning/renting private islands?

Last week I mentioned that reading magazines can jump start your MLM business.

My buddy Jack Bastide mentioned this magazine to me the other day.  I didn’t know what to think. Sure enough at my local Barnes & Noble I found Private Islands Magazine!

First of all this magazine is $14.95 at your newsstand. I know some of you probably think that $14.95 is too much to pay for a magazine.  I would say you’re thinking too small!

For those of you that think $14.95 is too much then you’re probably right. For YOU it probably is too much. You probably think to small and you will never own your own private island!

For those of you that think big picture even if you’re not making a lot of money today, just to begin to change your thinking and be aware of these kinds of magazines… To begin to look at these islands and dream about someday renting them out to throw a big party for your team, and yes, one day owning your own private island.  You’re beginning to think big and dream big.

If you think small you’ll build a small MLM business. If you think big and dream big you’ll build a big MLM business.

If you believe you can, you’re right. If you believe you can’t your right.  Dream building begins with  you. 

Does that make sense?

Does it make sense that if you think $15 for a magazine is too much, you’re not thinking big enough?

Dear readers,

What magazines do you read?

Did you know that reading magazines can jumpstart your MLM business?

Let’s start with business oriented magazines and self empowering magazines. There are magazines like Success Magazine or even the Network Marketing Magazine…

I don’t mean the MLM junk magazines or MLM ad magazines that are full of ads. Certainly those don’t have any real content to them.

But let’s go a step further.

What is your dream?

Is your dream to be a pilot someday and own your own plane? Then why aren’t you reading magazines like Flying Magazine or Plane & Pilot. Those will inspire you. You’ll learn more about your goals of becoming a pilot and you’ll learn all about the different types of small aircraft. It will be FUN to dream.  Your dream becomes more of a REALITY.

What about cars? Do you like classic cars? There’s a bunch of magazines out there for you. I know I just ordered some myself.  Or maybe you like modern day sports cars… Again there are a bunch of magazines out there for you.

Travel? Yep, there are travel magazines full of amazing destinations, photos, reviews, stories, vacation ideas, etc.  Try getting some of these magazines and cutting out photos to go on your dream board.  Or just take some photos from these amazing tavel destinations to go on your desktop or computer wallpaper.

Home? Maybe you just want to build a nice home.  Maybe you want to install a home theater…. There are magazines dedicated to all of these things.  When I was first getting into home theater and HDTV was just coming out I bought magazines like Sound & Vision and Home Theater magazine.  They were full of cool products and technical toys for your home theater plus amazing photos of beautiful homes and condos.

Think about the magazines you read now…

Do you read the gossip magazines? or perhaps you read music magazines? some of you may even read porn magazines…

Are those empowering?  Are those helping you make your dreams a reality?  Do they encourage you to work your business harder or do they fill your mind with junk?

And don’t get me started on the newspaper.  What a load of crap the newspaper is.  JUNK JUNK JUNK.  What a great way to fill your brain with stories of violence, crime, and poverty.  You really don’t even need the financial times or wall street journal any more as you can find that type of research online.

Next time you’re at the store think about the kind of magazine’s your buying.

I even heard that the really rich have weird exclusive magazines.  Not just the Neiman Marcus catalog but we’re talking about magazines on “ranches” and “estates” and things like that.

What you dream about and think about is what you focus on.  Are you dreaming about and focusing on the right things?

What are some of the magazines you’re reading?  Do you have any good suggestions for the list? Do you agree that magazines can help jumpstart your MLM business and motivate you?
