Nerium Success Coaching

Commitment.
This may sound too simple, but is great in consequence. Until one is committed, there is
hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative
(and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas
and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence
moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of
unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have
dreamt would have come his way. I learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!
WH Murray, The Scottish Himalayan Expedition (1951)
Make a contract with yourself, that you will be committed in all that you do. No change to draw
back, no hesitancy, no ineffectiveness.

Be Committed.

Finding your Why
Finding your Why is one of the most important things you can do for your business.
Your why will see you through the dark days, it will overcome the nay sayers in your life, it will
motivate your to keep going when others are giving up, its the source of the passion, its the reason
you are doing this. Without a clear understanding of our passion, our motivation we fail.
Statistics tells us that 85% of all new businesses fail in the first 2 years, my own research has led
me to conclude that most of this is because we fail to connect the things we need to do each day
with the big picture. In other words we do not fully understand why we are doing what we do.
therefore is is vitally important to understand our own personal WHY.
Why are you doing this? Lifestyle? Income? Better Skin? Fun?
The next big question is For whom are you doing this?
IBM did not set out to be the biggest computer company in the world, they mission was to put a
computer in every house in the world. - did you notice the difference, IBMs mission was not self
centred. In every business we must exist for our customers.
If our whom is ourselves we become self centred and disinterested in others, and this less to a
lack of clients, a lack of partners and a failed business. if however we can find a whom that is
other centred then our motivation increases and our energy lifts and we find customers are
attached to us.
A note: our whom does not necessarily need to be customer focused, for example is could be;
* I am running this business so that my children get a better education.
* I am in Nerium to pay for mum and dads age care.
* I want to improve the lives of 500 solo mums
* etc.
So to big questions. Why and Whom.
Your task over the next couple of weeks is to think about both these questions.
To help you along the way I have some activities which are designed to help bring out some of
these answers. Take time doing these activities, a rushed job here will have a huge impact of your
success.
Remember we are trying to find your why, your whom, not mine, not anyone else, yours.
These activities will not be shared, your Why and your Whom is personal to you.
Have fun with these.
If you are stuck, email me or ring me.
Cheers
Roy

1. The Wheel of Life.

Consider the outside of the wheel to be the best you could do and place a mark on the relevant
spoke of the wheel to indicate where you are now.

Once you have done this, connect the marks and shade in the shape you have created.
If this wheel was on your car, how would the ride be?

Consider what is important to you and which areas need some attention.

3. Strengths and Weaknesses.
Draw up a list of your strengths and weaknesses,

Warning this can be dangerous, there are two potential dangers to this exercise.
(a) The tendency to denigrate yourself by over-emphasising your weaknesses and
underestimating your strengths.
(b) The tendency to overlook your weaknesses and exaggerate your strengths.

objective as you can.

Ask someone who knows you well and cares for you to create a list of strengths and
weaknesses for you.

Remember, there are three of you.

(a) your own view of you
(b) others view of you
(c) the real you

Goal Setting
Another warning - the goals you set you will achieve. be careful that the goals set are the goals
you really want, take some time to get this right for you.
1, The Dream Machine.
Grab a white board or a large piece of paper, and write or draw your dreams,
use your imagination, be creative, - write small, write long.
2, Screen your dreams - 6 questions
(a) Is this really my goal?
(b) Is it morally right and fair for everyone
(c) Is it challenging enough to take me out of my comfort zone
(d) Does it comply with my lifes theme
(e) Is it realistic and achievable?
(f) Can I commit to it now?
3, If out dreams have survived the 6 questions and they are still there, we can turn these dreams
into goals, by giving them a timeline. Short term (1 year) mid term (2-3 years) long term (>3 years)
Action Planning
Goals with a plan are dreams, so we need a plan to achieve these goals.
Start by clearly describing the goal, the vision you have for this goal, be SMARTER
Specific - as must detail as you can
Measurable - how will you know you have achieved the goal, or steps along the way
Achievable -
Realistic Time - put deadlines on the goal.
Exciting - make it exciting
Reviewable - how will you review progress and to the goal itself.
What are the specific strategies you will use to achieve this goal?
Who do you need to work with?
What do you need to know?
What are the benefits of reaching this goal? including benefits for other people
What are the major milestones along the way?
What is the completion date?
Now take each goal and break it down into small simple achievable tasks.
We should be able to answer the following questioon.
What is the one small step I can do right now towards my goal.
This one small step needs to be easy to do and repeatable.
For example, to becoming a millionaire with Nerium,
I need to pick up the phone and call 1 person,

is that simple, if my goal is to be a millionaire with Nerium, all I have to do is pick up the phone and
call one person, and they dont even have to answer the phone. all I have to do is call them.
and if I want to be successful, all I have to do is do this one small simple easy to do step over and
over again.
For each of our goals we are looking for these simple small steps, that we can do over and over
again. And in the doing of them success will come, we will achieve our goals.
