Great question!
We are all in SFI because we want 'success', the question is how to measure that success!
In fairy tales success comes at the end of the story when you get your prince/princess, good has won over evil and everyone lives happily ever after!! I'm sure none of us are that dreamy, but even if your dreams/goals seem unrealistic I will still suggest that you write them down!! Never stop dreaming, however 'silly' your dreams seem to others, or even to yourself!
After that set some SMART goals, because that way you have something tangible to measure!
If you haven't come across the SMART way of setting goals, SMART is an acronym for
Specific
Measurable
Achievable, or Action oriented
Realistic
Time specific
You can get a lot more information on this by just googling it!
Our goals are specific to ourselves...
I don't want to achieve what you do, and I'm sure my goals are different to yours! So success is different for each of us! Goals can also change over time so they need to be reviewed from time to time - you decide how often you want to do that.
You don't have to get them 100% right first time and never change them, goals are there to serve you, not the other way around!
Also, when we start something new, like SFI, our initial goals may be completely unrealistic! That's ok! Just adjust them to make them more realistic/achievable etc when you need to!
Another way to help Measure your success is to actually measure! In other words keep records of what you are measuring. For example, if you set a goal of getting 5 active PSAs in your downline, define what you mean by active (VPs per month, how often they sign in etc), and at each month end record some key numbers. That way you can look back over the previous months and see the trends, see what is improving, or not, and where you can improve something!
Lastly, I would say don't compare your success to someone else unless it helps you!! If your goal is to spend 10 hours a week on SFI, your goals need to reflect that, and that's totally ok! Comparing yourself to someone who spends 40 hours a week on their SFI business will make you feel like a failure if you're not careful, so don't do it! You don't know what their life situation is like, how long they've been in SFI, what their needs are etc etc. that's why it's important to have your own goals and measure against them, and not against someone else's!
I hope that helps?
To success!
