I’m often asked “How important is goal setting in MLM success?” You may be surprised by my answer. The standard answer is goal setting is one of the most important things you must do to have MLM success. I don’t totally disagree. I agree that it is important to know where you want to go and to have a plan on getting there. My problem comes with the rigidity that some people have towards their goals and how it can stifle their MLM success.

Frozen Solid

I’ll use myself as an example, I don’t set any hard, fast goals, per say. I’ve always had a problem with that little voice in the back of my head saying if you don’t reach your goal you’re a failure. Talk about pressure! When I used to set the “typical goal”, i.e. I will be at this position by a certain date, I will have this much money in my bank account by that certain date, I would practically freeze. I would not be able to do anything. I was afraid of failure. Not a good way to attain MLM success!

What’s a non goal setter to do?

Now what I find helpful is to set a daily plan of activity. For example, in order to have success in MLM you must have a continuous flow of people to talk to. I now to focus on the activity of keeping the pipeline full and letting the outcome of people joining me in my business take care of itself.

Focus on the task at hand

I am a task master, give me a job to do and consider it done. Now I focus on the activity. I focus on the success of having accomplished that task. I also know that by accomplishing easy to do, proactive tasks my goals are moving toward me. Much less pressure and stress involved with that way of thinking! I can do a little something everyday, be successful at that, and feel good about what I am accomplishing.

Goal Setting success

If you’re like me and goals tend to stress you out making you feel like a failure. Try to focus on the daily activities you need to accomplish in order for you to attain you ultimate goal. Break it down into little daily doable chunks, and then focus on accomplishing those tasks. Let yourself feel successful in accomplishing the small things. If you stay in activity and keep yourself focused on the small stuff you will see your small successes grow into big ones. That’s how I’ve achieved MLM success through goal setting.
