MAKE THE CRITICAL ACTIVITY BONUS PART OF YOUR GOALS If you set a goal to earn the Critical Activity Bonus every month, you’ll change a lot of things for the better in a short amount of time. • You’ll stay consistent • You’ll increase your other monthly bonuses • You’ll advance faster • You’ll grow your repeat income Remember what I said about navigating the Gobi Desert? Earning the Critical Activity Bonus each month could be that clear landmark on the horizon. Director 4 Jennifer Lapp is doing it. Take a look at what she says. “The Critical Activity Bonus makes a big difference in my monthly Melaleuca check! I am so grateful for this extra income, especially after some bad surprises last year, like a burst appendix and blown car motor. “My goal to earn the Critical Activity Bonus gives me a clear checklist for what I want to accomplish each month. And I’ve been redoubling my efforts to encourage my team to push through and reach Director 3. I want them to earn this significant bonus too!”
1 Get clear about what you One of the reasons you may feel like your life isn’t changing fast enough or heading in the direction you want is that you haven’t gotten specific enough about what you want. If you’re not specific about what you want, you won’t know what actions want your life to look like one year and five years from now. you need to take. And sometimes we set our goals so small we hardly need to commit to them at all. You should know why you are making the effort to grow your Melaleuca business. Are the goals you’ve set suitable for turning that why into reality? If they don’t inspire you to do everything you can to achieve them, they aren’t clear enough—and then they won’t change your life enough. Remember, any goal that has the power to change your life will require commitment, discipline, and sacrifice to achieve. Of course, you don’t have to achieve it all on your own. Find an accountability partner who can hold you to that goal! Say your goal is to save a certain amount of money from your paycheck each month to increase your cash reserves. That’s tough, right? Increasing your cash reserves isn’t sexy. That’s when you need an accountability partner. They could be a family member or a friend. They could be a financial planner. Having them hold you accountable will get you out of your comfort zone. As a result, you’ll have a completely different life.
The Gobi Desert is a vast stretch of dry, cold sand dunes and brushland spread out across southern Mongolia and northern China. It’s one of the most remote, isolated areas in the world. Imagine being dropped into the middle of the Gobi and having to start walking with nothing on the horizon to guide you! Chances are that even though you think you would be walking in a straight line, you'd likely be walking in one big circle. But what if you had a clear landmark on the horizon to walk toward—a point you dearly wanted to reach? How much distance could you cover then? Setting and achieving goals is no different. You need a clear landmark in the distance to guide each step you take. If you stay focused on that landmark, you’ll never lose your way! Here’s a simple goal-setting, goal-achieving formula I invite you to try out. Take these actions, and I promise you’ll finish this year well ahead of where you started, having passed many milestones and progressed further along your path to your big goals.
