Success Leaves Clues.... a great post copied over here from a close friends FB page
I established weeks ago a closed Facebook group called "TRITON TEAM GOALS", because I know that goals are a permanent motivation to do properly what is necessary to do in our business. If you interested in this group, read the following text and if you like my opinion just ask for joining this group. By the way, TRITON TEAM is since 21 years the name of my international Downline organization. And now please read ;-)
"Once again, I would like to come back to the original purpose of this Facebook group. Even Jim Rohn and Mark Hughes have - just as many other authors who deal with the issue of "success" - repeatedly made clear that goals can only be achieved if one has specific goals at all. When someone starts in our business, then his idea of targets is usually very vague, because it has only very rarely occurred in his life so far, that it was an issue to set physical targets. Of course there are people who have set goals in the area of sports or during their training / education.
Maybe it has happened that they have set goals in their private lives like setting a specific place for their holiday as the destination. If you practice any sport ambitiously or even professionally, you have a trainer, or as it is called today, a "coach," as a professional sportsmen often even a "mental coach" who helps to find reasons for torturing themselves and do without any leisure time. An athlete can quite easily be convinced about why he has to do everything he is doing.
The goal in this case is quite clearly "victory", "title" or "medal". Maybe a little more hidden "recognition and fame" (with the consequences "more money"). In normal life, there are many more diffuse goals, ranging from the salary increase on to promotion, to your own apartment or home. Perhaps cars or traveling are also part of the goals. But it is rather a rarity that someone has really learned to use the notion of goals to reach them.
Very often, it is the case that setting targets was not learned, that one jumps from one target to another without having reached it, or hat a goal is set aside due to impatience. I don't like to use this example very much, because it can lead to wrong conclusions, but let's think of the donkey who is set into motion by holding a carrot in front of him. Stubborn in the one minute, he now start to run and to reach a goal. How the story with the donkey and the carrot ends, I do not know. in our case, our goal is the "carrot", and we actually get it. We always talk about motivation. Most people are waiting for external motivation which usually fails. From my experience, motivation that comes from within, is much more effective.
You have to learn how to do it, though. So if I publish pictures here in this group, then I only want to give you a suggestion for your individual and personal goals that you can actually achieve with our Herbalife business. You know the famous story of Mark Hughes, who hung up pictures of mansions in Beverly Hills, of Villas on Maui, from large yachts, Rolls Royce convertible and a private plane all across his small apartment at the very beginning of Herbalife. He had already learned from Jim Rohn at that time that it is not enough to imagine your goals, but they must always be clearly visible.
You know how the Mark Hughes story went. Everything he had seen on the photos in his apartment every day, he actually achieved, and he did that very fast, too. Take a lesson from him and learn to consistently pursue your goals and at the same time fulfill the legacy of Mark Hughes "to change the eating habits across the world."
