Happy New Year!
It’s a term you’ve probably thrown around during the last couple of days!

If you were to paint a picture of what a “happy” new year means to you, what would your canvas look like?

Have you thought about 2009 and what you want to accomplish?

How much of the New Year will you waste before you get moving with your business?

Do you care?

Are you satisfied being mediocre?

Will you pile on excuse after excuse as to why you can’t take your business to the next level?

Over Christmas my son was given a book as a gift. Being addicted books, I picked it up to read a couple of pages. One page turned into one chapter…. and I just couldn’t put it down. You see, two 19-year old twin boys are challenging today’s teenagers to do hard things. Their goal is to lead a teenage rebellion against low expectations. It’s a noble goal….a worthwhile one….and long overdue!

So, how long have you been buying into your own low expectations with your business?

Are you ready for 2009 to be your best year yet….or will you buy into the low expectation that the economy is too bad to build your business right now?

I might challenge all of you to join what these twin authors call a “rebelution.” They want teenagers to rebel against the low expectations, which will result in a revolution….thus the word “rebelution.”

Will you join me in a business rebelution?

Joining means:
• not buying into low expectations;
• allowing yourself no excuses;
• pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone;
• stretching yourself to new heights of learning and growing; and
• just going for it…building your business no matter what it takes!

There are some steps you can take right now to make a difference and propel your business forward:
1. Write down your dreams – get out your dream clock (and if you don’t have one, please visit my website to order this wonderful tool). What is your big dream? What are your small dreams? Write them down. Get pictures. Get prices. Get motivated!

2. How many parties will you do this month? February? March? How many recruiting interviews will you do each week? Write it all down in your planner.

3. Build your lead list. Turn it into a healthy list that will set you free from the chains of calling on the same people over and over and over again (did I mention over again!). Write down ways you can build your lead list….really think about this and be creative. I used to do what no one else was willing to do….speak to groups for free to get my name and company in front of as many people as possible (and back then I was scared to death to speak in front of people!).

4. Get on the phone and call people to invite them to be your hostesses and offer them the opportunity to hear about your business opportunity. Just as people are saying now’s the time to buy stocks and invest in real estate….well, now’s the time to recruit people because they need money! It’s amazing how powerful of a business people can build when they need money!

Doing these four simple steps can get you on the road to higher levels of achievement and out of the low expectation gutter!

Expecting great things from you in 2009!
