SUCCESS MANTRA - Core Steps

Setting SMART goals is a structured way to achieve objectives effectively. SMART stands for:

1. **Specific**: Clearly define what you want to accomplish. 

   - *Example*: "I want to improve my physical fitness" becomes "I want to run 3 miles without stopping."

2. **Measurable**: Establish criteria to track your progress.

   - *Example*: "I will track my running distance and time each week."

3. **Achievable**: Ensure your goal is realistic and attainable.

   - *Example*: "I will gradually increase my running distance by half a mile each week."

4. **Relevant**: Align the goal with your broader objectives or values.

   - *Example*: "Improving my fitness will help me stay healthy and energetic."

5. **Time-bound**: Set a deadline for achieving your goal.

   - *Example*: "I will reach my goal of running 3 miles without stopping within 8 weeks."

By making goals SMART, you create a clear plan that helps in maintaining focus and tracking progress.

2. **Video (10 minutes)**:

You can adjust the time distribution based on what you find most engaging or beneficial.

Counseling with your active and growing upline at the start of the month can help set a clear direction and support your growth. Here’s a plan for how to approach this:

1. **Schedule a Meeting**:

   - Set up a dedicated time at the beginning of the month to meet with your upline. Ensure the timing works for both parties and allows for an uninterrupted discussion.

2. **Prepare Your Goals**:

   - Outline your goals and any challenges you faced in the previous month. Bring these to the meeting to discuss them with your upline.

3. **Discuss Strategies**:

   - Collaborate on strategies and action plans for the month ahead. Seek their advice on improving performance or overcoming obstacles.

4. **Set Milestones**:

   - Establish clear, actionable milestones for the month. Discuss how you will measure progress and any support you might need.

5. **Review Resources**:

   - Review any training materials, tools, or resources provided by your upline that can aid your growth and ensure you’re utilizing them effectively.

Regular counseling with your upline helps ensure alignment, provides motivation, and facilitates continuous improvement.

Being accountable and consistent while maintaining a positive influence involves a few key practices:

1. **Set Clear Expectations**:

   - Define what you are accountable for and establish clear goals and deadlines. Communicate these expectations with those who rely on you.

2. **Track Progress**:

4. **Lead by Example**:

   - Demonstrate positive behaviors and attitudes. Your actions should reflect the values you promote, inspiring others to follow suit.

5. **Seek Feedback and Reflect**:

   - Ask for feedback on your performance and impact. Reflect on it to improve and adapt your approach as needed.

6. **Support Others**:

   - Offer encouragement and support to others in their endeavors. A positive influence often involves lifting others up and celebrating their successes.

The concept of "Learn, Tech, and Duplicate" can be a powerful approach for personal and professional growth. Here’s a breakdown:

1. **Learn**:

   - **Objective**: Acquire new knowledge or skills.

   - **Action**: Engage in learning through courses, books, tutorials, or hands-on practice. Focus on understanding the core principles and techniques relevant to your goals.

2. **Tech**:

   - **Objective**: Apply technology or tools to enhance your learning and efficiency.

   - **Action**: Utilize software, apps, or technological solutions to implement what you’ve learned. This could involve automating tasks, using productivity tools, or leveraging tech for innovative solutions.

3. **Duplicate**:

   - **Objective**: Replicate successful strategies or processes.

   - **Action**: Identify what works well and create a system or process that others can follow. Share your findings and methods with others to help them achieve similar results.

By following this approach, you can efficiently integrate new knowledge, leverage technology for improvement, and create scalable solutions that benefit others.
