We’ve been talking about what it takes to make your business goals a reality. It’s important to write your goal in your Jump Journal or a sheet of paper for tracking purposes. Write how much, of what, by when, then fill in the blanks. Make a chart to track your progress. It helps to know where you are going if you have a map. I looked at the calendar and determined I will be working 20 days in February. This is easy math; I need to sell one promotion per day to reach my goal. I left room every day to write down the number of promotions I sold. I also left space to write the name of the person I sold the promotion to. This will remind me not to me ask them again and it will help me to see my progress. I also wrote as a reminder what I need to sell daily to reach my goal.
Here is what mine looks like, based on my work calendar:
How much (20), of what (promotions), by when (during the month of February).

You can see how having a roadmap makes it easier to know exactly what you have to do and to get it done one day at a time.
