Success requires goal setting

Some people jump right into something without a strategy. I made that mistake years ago when I was first introduced to network marketing. I had no idea what I was doing! I longed for some help from my upline and never received it. I pulled from my military training and managerial experience, sat down and started from the beginning. Step one: Set goals. Goals should be S.M.A.R.T. Example: "S"pecific - I want to save $1000. "M"easurable - I will use coupons for items and put aside the money I save, purchase sale items and non-brand items.. "A"chievable - I will research who redeems double coupons and only shop when it is double redemption day. "R"elevant - Saving $1000 falls in line with my financial health strategy "T"ime bound - I will have the $1000 saved in 6 months Plug in what you want to accomplish and follow through.

I believe you could! Give it a try next month, it's only $167. Along with using coupons, what else would you be able to do to achieve the goal? 1000 divided by 6 is roughly $167. It's something to think about.

Very nicely made plan and although I would not be able to reach a 100 euros a month just yet my mind is on it no mistaking that. I like the plan you have made very much and yes you have to be very sure of what you want first of all. Great idea.

@tamara_paparazzi Same back. Once I get organized and fix a plan there is no stopping me either although I do sidetrack a bit sometimes.

I think it is always better to have a plan. You may be able to reach your goal eventually through hard work with or without having a plan but having a plan and a clear path on how to go about doing something will make you reach your goal faster and will probably make you avoid a lot of mistake when you are starting out.
