Are you achieving what you want in your business? Are you setting positive, exciting goals? Or are you setting low expectations, thinking that it might work for everyone else but you?
For years, my signature line has been EXPECT Success!
And, I recently did a “head check” on myself and my goals and didn’t really like what I saw. I realized I had set my goals way to low, given that I am focused on building big empire in my Send Out Fun Cards business!
I had come from a company where the start up was very low, $50, and I had grown a large list and ongoing prospects and it was nothing for me to easily sign up 8 to 12 people, and more each month.
Compare that to the $493 start up that the online card business has, and one might assume it would be much more difficult to sign people up, right, especially given the economy.
Not so! I am consistently sponsoring 8 to 10 each month, and these people are excited at the thought of starting this powerful business. When someone “gets” a business, $500 is a VERY low investment for what it can provide.
Compare that to contributing to a 401K right now, and one might wonder the better investment. For me, I know the return I have made over the past year with my online greeting card business has been a MUCH better return on my $500 investment.
So, my question for you is – what are you EXPECTING in your business? Not what are you HOPING for, but what are you EXPECTING?
Set those expectations HIGH and see where it takes you! Right to the top!

Wow! 8-10 sign ups per month. Where are the majority coming from? Warm, Internet, Facebook?

Hey Tom!
Thanks for stopping by! Actually, I am working a very solid combination of all methods. Online/Facebook; old leads and business partners I worked with previously; warm market and networking events. I focus on getting a little of all areas in my day or at least my week!
I try to get my prospects called first thing in the day and then move on to other things.
And, I have become VERY consistent with follow up!
EXPECT Success!
