Motivation
Motivation plays a big part when knocking on doors — you have to motivate yourself to see the people. The more people you see, the more sales you make.
One of the most important things is to set goals. Everyone has dreams, but not everyone has goals. The difference? A goal has a date. A dream without a date is only a dream.
Setting Goals
You should aim to set three goals:
• A short-term goal
• A mid-term goal
• A long-term goal
Each goal should be written down and include a date. Goals should be specific, with a start date, what you want to achieve, and an end date. Break your goals down into steps so you can measure your progress.
Example Goals
---------------------------------------------------------------
Short Term Goal:
I am going to cover ___________ Territory today and talk to eighty people.
Start date: Today
End date: Today
---------------------------------------------------------------
Mid Term Goal:
I am going to save ______ amount of money this month.
Start date: Jan 01
End date: Jan 31
---------------------------------------------------------------
Long Term Goal:
I am going to expand my business to double my profits this year.
Start date: Jan 01
End date: Dec 31

Positivity
Positivity plays a key role in staying motivated. Remember: “If they aren’t smiling, they aren’t buying.”
Always look at the positives — not the negatives. There is always a bright side. You must find it.
Motivation can come from many places: • Reading a little motivational material each day • Watching uplifting movies • Working with a partner and motivating each other • Appreciating what you already have
Remember the quote: “If it’s to be, it’s up to me!”
