The Two Types of Goals

What is the definition of goal.

Yahoo dictionary says it is: The purpose toward which an endeavor is directed; an objective.

I personally think that a goal is what someone wants to accomplish. More importantly, it is How someone is going to accomplish it.
You see there are two types of goals.

There are Outcome goals.

There are also Process Goals.

You first have the outcome goal:
The outcome goal is the final destination you want to reach. Think of it in terms of golf. Every golfer wants to put the ball in the hole. That is an outcome goal. In our network marketing business the outcome goal is financial freedom, retirement without worry and things of that nature. These types of goals are important to have. However, these type of goals we ultimately do not have any control over.

Next you have the process goals.

The process goals are the ones that we have actual control over. Again think of it in terms of golf. You have a goal of making a smooth swing or can maybe have a goal of making a smooth balanced swing every shot. That is a goal that we have control over. Where the ball lands we ultimately do not have control over. If you think about it in terms of network marketing, We can't control how much money we wind up with or how much freedom we wind up with. We can't control who say's yes. Who say's no. How many no's we get. We can't control how many hits we get. I can't say how many opt-ins i'll get. I can't control any of that.

So What Can We Control?

We can control how many phone calls we get on. We control how many phone calls we make. How many articles we write. How many articles we publish. Where we publish them. How many per week we publish. Getting the drift? These are all process goals that we can set for ourselves. These process goals we have complete control over. These process goals are what is going to ultimately determine how much we wind up with in the end. How much of our outcome goal we reach.

In conclusion, I would just like to say, setting goals is one of the most important parts of having a network marketing business. Writing those goals down is also a very important part of having a network marketing business. Let me rephrase that, these are very important characteristics toward having a successful network marketing business. So please take it to heart. Set those process goals and write them down. Set goals that you can achieve. If you achieve enough process goals, you can achieve your freedom goal. You can acheive all that your heart desires.

I hope this helps.

Now, go write down some goals.

Best to you all,
