Create a Plan
Creating a solid plan is the foundation of success. A well-structured plan not only provides clarity on your goals but also guides your daily actions, helping you stay focused and productive. By defining your priorities, breaking tasks into manageable steps, and tracking your progress, you set yourself up for consistent growth and long-term achievement. Let’s build a roadmap that turns your vision into reality.
**Best Practice**
Schedule a Game Planning session with your Upline or Agency Owner to determine the plan that works best for you.
Goals vs. Commitments
Understanding the difference between a goal and a commitment is essential for effective planning. While goals are aspirations you strive to achieve, commitments are non-negotiable actions that drive results no matter what. Both are vital, but knowing how to set and differentiate them ensures clarity and accountability.
What Is a Goal?
A goal is an outcome you aim to achieve. It’s your destination—a vision for the future. Goals provide direction and motivation, but they can sometimes be influenced by external factors. For example:
- Example 1: "I want to write $10,000 in business this month."
- Example 2: "I plan to book 10 client appointments this week."
What Is a Commitment?
A commitment is an action or behavior you promise to complete regardless of obstacles. Commitments are within your control and require discipline. For example:
- Example 1: "I will make 50 calls every day, no matter what."
- Example 2: "I will spend two hours daily on lead follow-ups and client outreach."
How to Use Goals and Commitments Together
To maximize your success, set ambitious goals and back them with unwavering commitments. For instance:
- Goal: "Achieve $15,000 in business this quarter."
- Commitment: "Make 100 calls weekly and schedule at least 5 appointments."
Goals keep you focused on the bigger picture, while commitments ensure consistent action toward those goals. By combining the two, you can overcome challenges, measure progress, and achieve extraordinary results.
