Ambition--Do you have enough to reach your goals?

For the next few days I’m going to post a series of articles about how to achieve your goals. For the sake of this blog, the articles will be about building your Scentsy business. For most of us, Scentsy isn’t the only thing in our lives. We have a lot going on. The following post can be related to any area in your life that you would like to improve or reach your goals.

With Scentsy or any other type of direct sales, many of us hold ourselves back because we don’t want to come across as pushy or rude. We’ve experienced pushy salesmen who’ve turned us off of a product or ruined our shopping experience with their strong sales tactics. The last thing we want to do is emulate those salesmen.

Have no fear. You are not like them. You are presenting a product you are proud of and you believe in, and you are presenting it to someone who can benefit in the same way that you benefited.

But I’m getting off track here. The point of this article is to teach that you can achieve your goals—whatever they are—and step out of your comfort zone to reach them without alienating others or becoming a bothersome salesman.

Three things are vital to step out of our comfort zone in order to reach our goals.
Ambition
Attitude
Action
The first component necessary in reaching our goals is AMBITION. Ambition—the first key ingredient we must have to reach our goals or to even become aware of what those goals are.

Ambition is defined as the desire for achievement of distinction and the willingness to strive for it.

What do you want? My goal with Scentsy is to supplement my sporadic writing income. That's kind of tricky because I don't always know a specific amount I need to earn each month. But I have an idea of what I need to do to build my business into a success. You probably do too.

Maybe you want to use Scentsy as a hobby. That's perfectly fine. Maybe you want to leave the workplace. Maybe you want to spend more time at home with your family. Take a moment to think about your goals and what you want.

Why do you want it? The economy is scary right now. Writing is a tough biz. I love the Scentsy products and I love sharing them with people, especially the opportunity of recruiting. I want people to be as blessed as I am.

Are you willing to pay the price? Hmm. This one gives me pause. Am I willing to turn off the TV, stay off the phone, put myself out there where I might be rejected?

I have a friend who keeps a money jar next to her workstation at the beauty salon where she works. Every tip and every extra dollar she can get her hands on goes into that money jar. She’s saving for a trip to Hawaii with her friends. They go every couple of years. Anyone who’s been to Hawaii knows it’s an expensive trip and sacrifices need to be made to make the trip a reality, especially on a stylist’s salary.

She really looks forward to this trip with her friends, and it’s worth every sacrifice she needs to make to get there.

What about you? Do you want to go to Hawaii? Back to school? Do you want to turn your Scentsy business into a full time income? How badly do you want to see these dreams come true?

Tune in tomorrow as we discuss how ATTITUDE makes a difference in the way we pursue our dreams.

As always I would love to have you join my Scentsy team. It's fun, exhilarating, and a thrill a minute. Contact me or visit my page. I promise to be there with you every step of your journey.
