After striking up a conversation with a stranger or someone I barely know I use the acronym FROM to guide the things I talk about.

Family - Wife or Husband, kids, etc.
Recreation - Hobbies, pass-times and other interests.
Occupation - This is where I bring SFI into the conversation.
Miscellaneous - If we need more things to talk about there's always the weather and news!

Why not give it a try yourself?

All goals should be personal as everyone's 'Why' is as different as their personality.

Having said that, I use a combination of short-term and medium-term goals that lead up to the long-term goals as I have found this works best for me. The shorter length goals build the skills to get to the bigger goal.

I use SMART for my goals.

This means that goals should be:

Specific - Don't say about getting that new car, write down the make, model, colour, etc., and when.
Measurable - How will I know when I've reached my goal?
Attainable - Do I have or can I learn the skills to attain this goal?
Realistic - Am I willing AND able to work towards this goal?
Timely - Put a realistic date on it! It gives you a target to aim at.

Reward yourself for reaching a goal using rewards that match the goal - small goal achieved, small reward.

And always remember that with properly planned goals, you CAN do it!

Hi Gabriela.

I once asked the chairman of a company I worked for about leadership and success. He told me that a willingness to learn, determination and persistence was 90 per cent of success as most of the skills could be learned.

Another large corporation I worked for regularly held training sessions for those moving into management as most management skills can be learned.

By learning the skills set out in the various SFI trainings and combining them with persistence and determination you will be an awesome leader.

Leaders are born not at birth but in the learning.

I personally have a 125TC standing order.

From the 125TC I bid 100 times at auction which guarantees me 2 PSA's each month and so builds my team.

With the remaining 25TC I offer 5TC to each of the first 5 PSA's to reach EA each month as motivation.

I then encourage them to duplicate what I do to build their own team.
