Aspire for greatness

Let’s say you want to generate $600,000 in revenue a year; that’s $50,000 a month, or $12,500 a week.

• Hit weekly goal = 5 points
• Hit goal four weeks a month = additional 5 points Total possible points for the month = 25 points
• Take two days off per week = 2 points
• Take 10 days off per month = additional 2 points Total possible points for the month = 10 points
• Workout three days per week (minimum 75 minutes) = 2 points
• Workout five days per week = additional 2 points Total possible points for the month = 10 points
• Self improvement (at least one of the following: read, listen to tape, watch DVD or attend a conference) per week = 2 points
• Self Improvement for four weeks = additional 2 points Total possible points for the month = 10 points
• Client event (anything for your clients) = 10 points
• Each referral = 1 point 20 referrals per month x 1 point = 20 points
• Call referral and set appointment = 2 points Call 20 referrals but set 5 appointments, in addition to the referral points, earn 10 points for the appointments = 10 points
• Take 2 days away on a mini-vacation with one overnight stay = 10 points (By the way, when I talk about time off, you are not checking e-mails, not receiving phone calls and you are not discussing work.)

The bottom line is that you are trying to engage in activity that creates great results. You can do this by tracking your progress. If you were to score an A every month, you are going to have a pretty balanced life, because you are going to be taking care of yourself and you will have more time to spend with your family. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to make a lot of money and die young or if you can’t enjoy the money you are making.

Become well rounded. Go ahead and create that score card. When you do, send me an e-mail and let me know what is or is not working for you.
