Every day you’ll make a list of the 5 most important things you need to do the next day. Now, this is most effective if you’re starting from annual goals, broken down to quarterly goals, monthly goals, and weekly goals. Or, your list can become reactive. More of a ‘to-do’ list than a ‘most-important-things’ list. Setting Goals as a High Achiever in Direct SalesIf you don’t already have specific annual, quarterly, and monthly goals determined, this is essential. Let’s grab a strategy session together. Click over to crazybigdreams.biz to discover if this would be beneficial for you. Center Your Direct Sales Leadership FocusFor your 5 most-important-things-list, you’ll write down the essential, business building, leadership development, and team connecting things you need to do the next day. Start by reviewing what happened and what got done today. Then you’ll create those essential things that need to happen tomorrow to move you, your team, and your business forward. Some days you’ll have to forward something from your current list that didn’t get done. That’s just real life. Keep your list to no more than 5 items. There’s nothing more defeating than creating a list and never getting to cross everything off of it for a day. You’ll also get really good at identifying what important thing goes on what day. For example, if you’re making your most-important-thing list there will be people and activities that will pop to mind, that don’t need to be done the very next day. Go to a future day’s list and capture it there. Don’t let this technique, however, get you in the habit of pushing things ahead. Be decisive and intentional. You’ll first make your list, simply a brain dump if you will, of the most-important-things. If you capture more than 5 that’s fine. Determine what needs to happen tomorrow and place additional things on a future list. Direct Sales List Lovers: Are You Using These Impactful Strategies? Now, if you’re already a master list maker, let’s weigh these next impactful strategies for your list-making. Let’s see if you’re already applying these things. If not, this will take your list-making and your organization to the next level. Take each item on your list and chunk it down. It’s important to prune down each thing on your list into the smallest, actionable item. For example, as you brain dump you may capture something like, update my onboarding system, or create an onboarding system. This is an important business development & team development ‘most-important-thing’. It’s not small enough to tackle though.
