When it comes to running a successful QNET direct selling business, the importance of setting goals cannot be emphasised enough. In fact, the same is true for any kind of business and in life in general. Setting goals are a great way of staying on track and motivating yourself to succeed. Here are some of the importance of goal setting and how you can use them in a practical manner as a QNET direct selling entrepreneur.
How to set goals?
Before we talk about the importance of setting goals, I think that it is important to explain how you can set SMART goals. SMART stands for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound, all of which makes your goals well-smart! It is important to keep points in mind when you are building your goals.
Specific: be specific about your goal. Instead of saying I want to be rich, say that you want to be rich enough to afford your dream car or that luxury watch that you have been eyeing for the last few years. This allows you to have a much better idea of what to do if you want to achieve your goals.
Measurable: Similarly to setting specific goals, it is important to set goals that are measurable. Instead of saying that your goal is to be rich, think of how rich you want to be in terms of a number of assets. This also allows you to keep track of your goal and to find out how far you are from achieving them.
Attainable: Similar to measurable, goals have to be within the realm of possibility. Do not start a business expecting to be the richest man in the world. Keep smaller, more attainable goals that can be updated when you reach your earlier goals.
Relevant: It is also important to make your goals relevant to what you are doing. Do you start a business while your goal is to be a better person? While running a business can help you learn a lot of valuable skills and gain more confidence, there are much easier and better ways to do the same.
Time-bound: Going back to our earlier example of making enough money to buy your dream luxury watch, you should have a time frame for achieving your goals. Anyone can save up enough money for a Rolex if they save for their entire life. But it is important to put timelines on your goals.
Importance of setting goals
It gives you a path to success
How do you define success if you do not know what it means? The simplest and most direct benefit of having goals is that it allows you to know what you are looking forwards to. It allows you to quantify what success means, turning it from an idea into something that can be measured.
Keeping track of your growth
Setting goals and constantly updating them as you achieve them is a great way of becoming successful and an overachiever. Set small daily goals, achieve them and then move on to the next ones. By doing them regularly, you will easily be able to complete your weekly and monthly goals and achieve success in no time.
A Way pointer to get back on track
It is always easy to sway from our end goal, especially if it is a long-term one. And when you realise that you have lost track of what you wanted to do and want to turn back, the small goals that you have set in the past are of great help. If you find yourself lost and not knowing what to do, you can always go back to your previous milestone and start again from there.
It’s a great tool to inspire
When you are trying to accomplish your long-term goals, it is easy to feel tired and lose motivation. But one technique I use to motivate myself when I am feeling down with regards to work is to look back at all the goals and think about the distance I have travelled on my journey to reach here. It also shows me how much of my current goal I have achieved and what I am capable of I am doing if I put my mind to it.
It gives me a chance to look back at why I started
We all joined QNET and started our direct selling business for a number of reasons. For me, it was to be financially independent. By making that my long-term goal and getting a chance to go back to the mental state of how I started, I am able to keep going forward with the goal.
These are just some of the importance of setting goals that I personally felt during my time as a QNET direct seller. These might change from individual to individual, but the core concepts remain the same. Setting goals are crucial if you want to achieve success and build a successful business.
