If you are a work from home mom and interested in making money in an online business opportunity you need goals. If you don’t have a target that you are shooting for then anything you hit will be right, which could be nothing. So why would you waste your time in a homebased business without goals?

A Specific goal to earn money in an online business opportunity would be to sponsor three new reps this month using the internet as a primary means of finding and converting prospects. In order to do this you would need some kind of internet network marketing system.

Measureable is straight forward. Did I sponsor three new people using my internet network marketing system, yes or no?

Is your goal to sponsor three new business reps in one month Attainable?  Achieving this goal is going to require action.  If your goal is huge then it will require massive action.  Understand that making goals is great but you have to put action in to get results out.  Are you personally capable right now to reach your goals?  Maybe you need to develop some new personal skills, get very creative in your approach or find a system to help you reach your potential.  Whatever your goals are this is the time to figure out how to get there. Never say no and you’ll find a way.

How do you know if your goal is Realistic? Do you have the skills, time and desire to attain them? How motivated are you to achieve your goals?  If you were just starting out in a new MLM business with no previous experience and said your goal was to sponsor twenty new people this month that just actually might be doable, given your enthusiasm is extremely high right now.  However, if you thought you’d get there by only talking to twenty people then that would be unrealistic.  A lot of people are not as excited as you are right now for a residual income business opportunity so you’ll have to sift through many people to find the ones that are ready.

Is your goal Timely or Tangible? Yes.  Sponsoring three people in one month is exact in terms of time and it is something that is tangible. It’s real and you can count on it.

To summarize, if you want to be making money in an online business opportunity you need to set SMART goals, goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and tangible.  With a plan and a online network marketing system and a great deal of motivation and determination,  a goal of sponsoring  three new business representatives in one month is very realistic.
