Goals are a powerful and simple way to keep you growing as an affiliate. You should have big, “reach” goals, goals you can achieve weekly and smaller goals, but all of your goals should be SMART. What are SMART goals? SMART stands for specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely goals. To achieve all aspects of SMART goals:
Select goals that are specific to what you wish to achieve. Rather than set the goal “make more money” set a specific goal of “generate 3 sign ups per week.”
Set goals that you can measure easily and compare to past goals.
Set goals that you can reach with hard work.
Set bigger goals that are still realistic.
Set goals that you can do with the time you have in the time frame you have.
Brand evangelists are now a popular “thing” when it comes to building businesses and products. These evangelists are people who truly believe in a company, spread the word and get other people excited. They use their passion for a product or business to help it grow.

People Like You
The easiest way to figure out what kind of person might be a great GDI member and downline, is to ask yourself what drew you to the opportunity and what qualities you have that make you successful. As you answer these questions, there is no doubt that some people you already know will come to mind. These people may think the same way about business as you or just have the drive to succeed. Invite them to become a GDI member. Be sure to explain the opportunity clearly and get their thoughts and insights on the opportunity to build Income for Life.
