SUCCEEDING ONE HABIT AT A TIME Melaleuca Launch 2021 Training with Corporate Director 6 Erin Clark

How to make this year Your best year yet

The events of the year 2020 were both unexpected and unprecedented in many ways. They introduced a wide variety of challenges that could have become so heavy they would almost have been impossible to overcome. But those challenges weren’t too heavy, because here you are primed to achieve more than you ever thought possible. This is part of the mindset that was established at Melaleuca Launch 2021. And to help you get started accomplishing more, keynote speaker Corporate Director 6 Erin Clark invites you “to start fresh with your business and give it all you’ve got.”

The power of habit You can’t wish for your goals to happen. You can’t wish for your dreams to come true. But what you can do is put one foot in front of the other and you can do the right things daily, one day at a time, one habit at a time. You can focus on winning the day. Habits are the things you do in your subconscious. They’re the things that you do on autopilot, like brush your teeth. Habits are powerful. They can be good or they can be bad, but they’re always underestimated. If we don’t use our habits, especially in our businesses, what we use is willpower. Willpower is hard, and we run out of it. The dictionary defines willpower as “control exerted to do something or restrain impulses.” Basically, you use it when doing what you don’t want to do. I’m a busy mom. I have two kids, two dogs, two cats, a tortoise, a husband, and a crazy house. By the end of the day, my willpower is shot. I’m exhausted and I forget things. This is when I’m making bad food choices or scrolling through too much Facebook. We only have so much willpower, and it goes away. But what I never forget is to brush my teeth. I always wash my face, and I always tuck my kids into bed. Those things are

on autopilot. And establishing the right daily habits for your business will allow for sustained, long-term growth. We need to do the Seven Critical Business- Building activities so many times that they become as easy as brushing our teeth. I promise you, if you commit to this, if you focus, if you set goals all the way to the moon and win the day, it will pay off tenfold. You will gain skills. You will get better at this business. You will gain confidence. You will be less “stumbly.” You will be less fearful. You will build momentum, and that momentum will be unstoppable. The Focus – Accountability sheets The purpose of Accountability Sheets is to simply document your work. Like a food journal, you are documenting the critical activities that you do every day – and both the action and documentation are powerful. These sheets don’t have to be fancy. You just have to document what you’re doing and you have to do it every single day. Commit to this for 90 days with me. Commit to 90 Accountability Sheets. And I’ll tell you that if you do this, you might just fast-track your business.
