MAKING YOUR BEST EVEN BETTER: HOW TO REACH YOUR GOALS IN 2018

mission. Every practice we recommend, every Critical Activity, is founded on years of research and real-life results. It’s one of the reasons our growth continues to accelerate even after 32 years in business. And it’s allowed thousands of Marketing Executives to make lasting changes and achieve success. The first step in making a change is to schedule a block of time to sit down and write out your goals for 2018. Don’t just think about it. Schedule it. What gets scheduled gets done. Be specific. Be bold. Decide for yourself what’s important to you and why. What is your destination in 2018 and what will it take to get there? Are you willing to do it? This year, make plans for life. Several years ago, I had the rare opportunity to go on a morning run with Mark Allen, a six-time Ironman Triathlon World Champion. His last championship came at age 37, making him the oldest winner of the event to date. ESPN named him “The Greatest Endurance Athlete of All Time.” During our run, Mark asked me a profound question, “What does your goal expect of you?” I’ll never forget his question because it brought everything into focus. Part of Mark’s story included him making the decision to do what his goal expected of him. This decision resulted in a complete shift in his mindset, training, and nutrition. It also led to SIX World Championships! I would encourage each of you to ask that same question. What does your goal expect of you? Ignore any doubts or fears and instead focus on the things that could go right. Then use these proven practices to help you reach your goals.

It’s amazing how fast 2017 has gone by. With every passing year, time feels like it accelerates. I love this time of year because we’re on the verge of possibilities. I know I can do even more with my life. I find myself asking, “How I can do better and be more? What do I want to accomplish?” My time on this earth is finite. I have goals I want to reach, people I want to help, and lives I want to touch. I want to continue to make the world a better place by improving myself, my family, and my community. 2018 will be different than other years. I want to be more intentional in my preparation for another year. This year, I will. I love what I do. One of my favorite things in my role at Melaleuca is being surrounded by examples of leadership in action. Leaders who are committed to changing their lives and the lives of others. Jim Rohn said we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with. I believe that, and I count myself lucky to work with amazing Melaleuca leaders across North America each and every day. At Melaleuca, we’ve put a lot of thought and research into how we can help people reach their goals. After all, it’s our
