One thing I have learned from my mentor in Herbalife is that our business is "flexible but not optional." Today was a flexible day. The people that I needed to respond to yesterday that were at the bottom of my list made it to the top of my calls today so that list of calls are done.
I invested time today into learning some amazing and time ready concepts that my mentor has taught me. This is my personal development log for today:
What I learned today is there no such thing as giving too much love. I also learned that I am a powerful messenger who can stand proud for who I am. It’s okay to be me. I learned that when I feel myself tightening up inside, it is sign for me to stop and breath, allowing the information that is being given and taught to process. Tightness could represent itself as information overload.
I now see myself as an amazing leader who my other leaders are depending on to synergize our learning and concepts. My part as a leader is to listen to my leaders as they express what they are desiring to learn and to give open and encouraging feedback. I learn through osmosis and synergy.
Today I got 1 new retail customer, 4 invitations to the business.
I'm happy about our business being flexible but not optional, because I know when the week is over my numbers will match or even exceed what the goal is on my gauges.

3rd Day of the 90 Day Plan-Results
I'm wrapping up an amazing day. Congratulating myself for completing my daily goals. I'm not overly excited because this IS a 90 day plan. I've learned in the past that when I have great days, it's very easy to take your eye off the big picture and the overall goal and take a rest. This I've learned is a BIG mistake.
I did get 13 invitations to the business presentation. I booked 1 retail appointment. I closed and signed one new distributor who is a friend of mine from elementary school. I met him on facebook. Tomorrow is a new day, but still groundhog day where I repeat the same focus, intention and action that I did today.
I will create a priority list tonight before I go to bed and use that for tomorrow. Another thing is that I am on track with my presentations for the week. The goal for the month is 40 and I have 8.

3rd Day of the 90 Day Plan
Today is Wednesday the 3rd day of the 90 day plan. Prioritizing my day the night before has helped me focus on the tasks before me and check them off consciously.
Understanding what is the priority and who is the priority is very important.
I started my day with saying "Thank you...", I'm grateful...and I appreciate..." This has helped me to direct my energy into looking forward to a new day. Same day repeated ninety times.
Working from a checklist helps. I have a small window of time where I intend to focus on getting a few more invitations to the business presentation. So far today, my goal has been to even it out, so the number is 13 invitations. I have 6 and 7 more to go. If I look at it at getting 3 here, 4 there, it makes it much simpler instead of forcing it to make it happen. I've already seen some results, however, the results in the first 30 days is just bonus. The results from the momentum I am building will come to full term in 90 days. I accept that this is the plan. I trust it. This is the same plan that got all of the top leaders to their position in the marketing plan.
One small obstacle today worth mentioning here is that during the course of the day, I was looking at how long I've been on the phone, how many invites I got and how much time I had left. I started feeling anxious, rushed, and fearful. Physiology was telling me to slow down. When I'm "feeling" this it comes through my voice and through the phone so I decided to stop and listen with my heart. This is what my heart said "No force, trust, go easy, listen to classical music, have fun, be who you are." Stopping for just a moment to listen, implement and breath had helped me carry on with what I was doing. I know I will accomplish my daily goals today.

Knowing What is Priority for the Day
Tomorrow is Wednesday which will be my third day of my 90 day plan and I'm creating my schedule based on what is priority. On Wednesday's I have two conference calls that are booked from 6pm-7:30pm and a leadership call at 9pm.
The number of leads I must have by the end of the week will be 120 and the invitations to the presentation will be 50.
By looking at my gauges, I'm on track with my leads which I have accumulated 60, and behind on my invitations which I have accumulated 11. I'm on track with the number of presentations I must have at this point of the week in which I have 7.
So by looking at where I am at, my priority for Wednesday through Friday will be 13 invitations to the presentation. By doing this, I will be on track for the week in all three areas: leads, invitations and presentations.
This is how I was taught to work my schedule according to what is priority. This first thirty days is about building momentum and taking daily consistent action.

What I've learned in the 2nd day of the 90 day plan.
I am truly grateful for this day and I appreciate myself because I accomplished my daily goals for the day. I've learned that I can manage my expectations. I've learned that patience is key to a 90 day process. This is only the second day and I'm looking at strengthening my vision. I must remind myself of what's important and keep my priorities in front of me. I have an expressive personality by nature and I learned that by being true to myself, I must keep my business fun, simple and magical. I've learned that there will be days when I will face obstacles and I am prepared this time to expect them and I will handle them when I get there. When I do, I'll see further, but for now I'll continue to appreciate my time investment, only for the day. When tomorrow comes I'll know what to do next.
The 2nd day of the 90 day Plan
Today is the 2nd day of my 90 day plan. I'm about an hour into call time which I am following up with the leads that I had connected with yesterday.
My goal for the day is ten invitations to the business presentation. I'm already into an hour of call time and I'm hitting into the monkey mind chatter, hurrying me to do better. I've had a couple of people hang up the phone on me as I was giving the dates to the presentation. I am reminding myself that this is part of the process of checking off the eighty percent who will say no.
I've already gotten four invitations and one online presentation out.
During the monkey mind chatter I am purposefully coaching myself with affirmations of belief, that I know the universe is conspiring with me, I'm connecting with the right people who are ready and I'm doing the right things. I am reminding myself that I am a servant, the issue is not about me. I am and will continue to make the calls, while being patient with myself that this is part of becoming a master at the basics. I'm willing and I'm called here to get better.
I believe that I will get better.

My 90 Day Plan- Day 1
Today is May 4, 2009 and it is the first day, the beginning of my 90-day plan. I'm grateful that my company has a "proven" business system a golden goose that continues to lay over 1500 golden eggs since the company's conception. I've decided to be one of those golden eggs so here I begin my quest.
I will use my blog to track myself. Since I'm already transparent on here.
I started my day listening to a conference call by Morgan Devine who has over 20 years of experience in our company.
I took some time for myself in the morning taking deep breaths to connect with my vision and the purpose of me doing what I do.
I set out for the day by bus. I figure I'm going to weave my business into travel time and I found that to be a great success.
Overall work time was about two and a half hours, but transit time about two hours altogether. I did get sixty names and numbers for people who are interested in working from home and joining my team.
During my travel time sitting on the bus, after I used ancient methods like the three feet rule, I invest my time into learning.
I always carry a personal development book and journal with me at all times. Today's books I studied from are The Journey from Success to Significance and The Energy of Money. I already know that I'm a master at gathering leads to call. With enough leads, I can master the invitations. The next part for me to master is my vision. My personal vision of where I'm going and the vision of where my people can go with this amazing vehicle called Herbalife!
It's almost 6pm. The usual call time for business builders is between 6pm-9pm when everyone gets home from work. I will now take a little time out to have some quiet time to reconnect with my vision and purpose for making the calls. I will begin at 6:30pm. My goal is ten invitations, however, my intention is to stretch beyond myself today. I'll keep you posted with my results.
