Long term goals are fine and you should decide what that goal is (or goals are)
But short term goals (one month, six months, a year) are more practical for daily use.

"Remain at EA each month" is more relevant for me than "Donate 10% of my first million dollars to XYZ charity in 2020".

And there is no answer to "what long-term goals should an affiliate..." because that is up to each individual and may be subject to change many times.

I was amazed the other day when we ate at our favorite pizza shop and I left my X-card on the table. When the waiter came to pick up our money he said, "Oh, what is that?" and reached for the card with enthusiasm. I said, "It's about a great home business. Check it out." He thanked me with a smile. That morning I had written, "Hand out X-cards" as my goal for the day.

Long term goals will differ from individual to individual regardless the same thought should go into it.Here are things to consider when setting goal
1....Where am I now.
2....Where I want to be
3....What is needed to get there
4....How do I get there.
this call for great taught and you need a pen and paper for this.Set your main goal and then break it down in sub goals either weekly monthly or yearly.You need to write them so you would always have them there to keep you focus and on track.
Remember
Put your goals in writing if you can't put it on a sheet of paper you probably can't do what it takes to achieve the goal!!"
"You cannot hit a target you cannot see and you cannot see a target you do not have!!"

Please set realistic goals while saying this do not set goals that really do not accomplish anything.In other words make your sub goals a challenge this is what makes life interested.

"People stop themselves from achieving their full potential not because they aim to high and miss but because they aim too low and hit!!'

Here at SFI your goals can be
1..Reaching EA or higher monthly with active team of course
2..Number of monthly PRMs
3..Number of monthly PSAs
4..Achievement of Payoneer card etc
5..Amount of daily VP you intent to earn
6..Increasing traffic to your blog/website/gateways
To accomplish these will depend on your finances .work with in the range you can afford.This is your journey do not compare with others accomplishments with yours for this will cause frustration and initiate negative thoughts which might cause you to stop.
"Your ATTITUDE controls your ALTITUDE!!"
Please remember you will make mistakes but also remember these are stepping stones or learning blocks for you now know what not to do.

"We have two choices in life.We can DESIGN a life or LIVE a life!!"

I haven't read all the answers so I will just say what long term goals I have set though maybe some others will have given a similar answer:

1. I set a vision for my life and how I'd live differently with financial freedom. I vision a life with financial freedom. What I would do with that kind of money.

2. Define difference between short term and long term goals. I would say short term goals would be no longer than 5 years.

Questions:

Where do I want to live in 10 years? Invest in a condo? house? Future investments? education? any future business opportunities? if so what? What about community involvement and/or financial support towards issues of interest? For example nonprofit organizations... Of course that depends on what kind of future you desire to have. What about traveling the world and enjoying different cultures? Maybe have a winter home to get away from the cold, rain, snow if you live in a colder environment. I want to spend a few months out of the year travelling through Europe visiting family and visiting friends in Australia, go for winter and summer vacations, go to Israel... etc. I want to invest outside of SFI to create an income independently from SFI while growing my income through SFI. The sky is the limit. What is my dream life? How would I live differently if I didn't have to work a regular job? Where would I shop for cloths etc what car would I own, what would my dream house look like? etc.

An affiliate should set a long term goal for himself by realising it that SFI is not a get rich quick business, therefore an affiliate must learn to duplicate inother to build a strong genealogy.

As an affiliate, you must learn to be an awsome leader.

An affiliate must learn to be serious in his business and put in some money in it for the business to grow.

An affiliate should be able to register an ECA in other to earn a long term commission. As soon as the ECA starts selling, you are sure of your regular commission as long as that company or business is in essistence.

An affiliate should be able to set up a standing order which will earn the person atleast 1,500 VP every month to maintain his being an EA (Executive Affiliate) inorder to receive the number of CSAs given to him and the commission paid.

An affiliate should also set up an S-builder co-up to make duplication very easy for him.

Thanks

Hello Keith!
Goal setting helps build long term vision and this vision give you a clear idea of where you are headed rather than pushing you on a pointless journey. Ask yourself what would you like to achieve in six months, in one year or in five years and what steps will you have to take to get there. Long term goals are typically more general like: to increase TripleClicks sales and profits, or to become Team Leader and you need time to achieve them. Clearly defined long term goals when broken into smaller goals makes everything achievable.
For beginning, the best is to visit tub Goals where affiliate should be setting:
-My goal is to be making ($ in 6 months, 2 years...)
-I plane to become a Team Leader ( Bronze, Silver...)
-For my class power rank my goal is to make top ...
-For my country power rank my goal is to make top ...
Review them from time to time and adjust them accordingly based on your progress!
Wish you all the best!

The most important long-term goal of an affiliate is to develop the mindset of a business owner. Business Owners understand that goals are set based on a value system. SFI Affiliates are “business owners.” When it comes to your SFI Affiliate Business what are your business values?

Some Core Business Values;

1. Time Management.
2. Goals Management.
3. Affiliate Business & Marketing Plan Writing.
4. Promotional Campaign Management.
5. Skill Set Improvement.
6. Sales
7. Recruiting
8. Sponsoring.
An example of a long-term goal for “Time Management” might be written like this:

Goal: To develop the habit of a logging in to the SFI Affiliate Center to do your “Daily To Do List.”

An example of a long-term goal for “Skill Set Improvement” might be written like this:

Goal: To log in to SFI to learn about Internet Marketing.

Use the above business values or come up with your own list of values to set your long-term business goals. Business owners with the business mindset must understand there are things behind the scenes that must be thought out and planned in order to realize the personal sales numbers and the team sales numbers.

The “Goal Tab” in SFI allows you to set the numbers, however, it is up to you to develop the mindset and to do the behind the scenes work in order to make the numbers you set become your reality.

I believe you should set both short and long term goals. The short term goals should be ones that you strive to achieve every month so you can gage your progress in the business. They will keep you motivated and focused. This will help you achieve your long term goals. For example if your long term goal is financial independence a short term goal of attaining a couple of EA's every month will help you reach your main goal. If you achieve 2 EA's every month that is 24 a year. If half of those 24 reach BL or higher by the end of the year you will be well on your way to achieving financial independence in a few years. We have to be forward thinkers or visionaries. We must also be patient and realistic with our goals. I help this will help someone.

Once your affiliates have had a chance to learn some about SFI, it would be time for you to start talking to them about setting their goals.

Using the bottom section of "Goals" tab on Home page as a starting point would be good. Discuss with them, via team mail, the purpose of having goals they have written down, will see daily as a reminder to themselves, and encourage them to write these goals on paper once they have completed them online. Then suggest they put them in a prominent spot in their work space so as to be reminded often of why they joined SFI and where they want to have reached by when. Also tell them they can use goals other than the ones listed; have them personalize what they write for their own office space.

Something tangible is very often a good way to help people maintain their focus.

Hope this helps...

Hi Keith, thank you for your question. The short and simple answer is that goals are unique to the individual. Once they have set their goals, then you would be able to discuss those goals with them and help them put together a "game plan" to help them achieve those goals.

I usually don't focus on long-term goals for my team however, and here's why. Let's say one of your PSAs set a long-term goal to get out of debt. Their current debt is $10,000, and so it will take them some time to eliminate that debt. But then the day comes where they have realized their goal and their debt is gone. What then? Do they quit because they have achieved their goal? There are those that would.

Instead, I usually recommend that my team set a series of easily achievable short-term goals. That way they always have a goal that they are working towards and already have a new goal in mind when their current goal has been achieved.

Hope this helps.
