90 Day Challenge

Once you've completed your 2012 Planner, and answered "yes" to the 90 Day Challenge, you are ready to take your 90 Day Goal all the way to the Phoenix Conference in April. You can learn more about the background to this Challenge below from Michael Hyatt.

You can take the Challenge at one of three levels:

1. If you want proof that goal setting works, and some practice, then write some easy goals and see what happens.

2. If you want a significantly better 2012, but have limited time, set some moderate goals and take action.

3. If you want 2012 to be awesome and your Dreams within reach, and can invest the time, set tough goals and go all out.

If you are up for #3 and use the Challenge to make your Dreams come true, it will take sustained hard work for 90 days, but the payoff will be huge! You will:

  1. create Momentum for your team that will continue for months and years afterwards.

  2. be leading by example - this is the only way to effectively lead your team.

  3. build your discipline muscles so you can do what you need to do with much less effort.

  4. discover that the more, and the more often, you do the basics, the easier they get.

  5. get much more done, faster.

  6. develop your goal setting skills.

  7. become powerfully accountable.

  8. position yourself to lead your team to achieve THEIR Dreams (your success will bless them)

  9. earn great bonus money and build a foundation for your residual income to reach significant levels.

What does the 90 Day Challenge look like for you?

You can make your goals as challenging or as easy as you wish. Just completing the exercise itself will be useful, but the more challenging your goals the more valuable it will be.

Set 5-7 goals for your next 90 days, depending on whether you chose 1, 2 or 3 above. Examples:

1. Written goals include: share Juice Plus+ as you are out doing life, aiming to find people who want Juice Plus+.

2. Written goals include: 20-10-5-1 to complete the 5-1 each month; a solid Qualified Business; a growing Team.

3. Written goals include: 5-1 every week; 10-1-10 each "1"; grow my business and myself fast!

The All-Out 90 Day Challenge (not for everyone!)

Here's the example of a Sales Coordinator (a #3) who has a 4 year WHY or BHAG (big hairy audacious goal), with intermediate goals; her 90 day goal and the smaller goals required to achieve it look like: "I _______________________

  • am a SSC in Phoenix, April 2012, with 5 qualified businesses on my team, making $1500 per Month.

  • Invite 5 new people each day to look at Juice Plus+ (30 each week, using CDs, DVDs, online videos).

  • hold 2 Wellness Parties each week, for my team, with 10 people at each party.

  • show the Business Videos to 2 people each week.

  • 3-way each of those people with Mick (Connection Calls).

  • 5-1 every week.

  • 10-1-10 every "1" within 30 days, to earn them and me the $300 bonus.

  • send Mick my weekly report of progress and joining him for a weekly coaching call."

Will all those goals and yours be achieved? Not if they are that aggressive, but that's not the point! Writing those goals and taking action on them will greatly accelerate your progress and your personal growth will amaze and delight you!

Importantly, those goals above cover all the basics, especially talking to everyone about Juice Plus+ AND the Virtual Franchise, having Wellness Parties regularly and often, using the right tools, and staying focused on high paying activities (there's no time to organize your office!)

The last of the SC's goals above provides accountability which is vital; in a study at Dominican University, they found that those who:

  • wrote their goals accomplished more than those who did not

  • wrote their goals and sent their commitments to a friend accomplished even more

  • wrote their goals and sent weekly progress reports to a friend accomplished significantly more than all the others

She is committed to an aggressive plan, requiring investment of significant time, energy and discipline. She understands that "If you can accomplish an objective without God’s help, you’re not thinking big enough." (Michael Hyatt) 

She knows that the rewards will be substantial: completing the 5-1 every week for 13 weeks and helping each new team member to complete their 10-1-10 in 30 days will earn them $300 (instead of $250 for completing it in 60 days), will also earn her $300 and she will receive the 5-1 Team Building Bonus of $200 each month. If she achieves half that many she will receive $1,000 monthly in bonus money alone. Her team will have so much momentum that her longer term goals are virtually assured, without having to continue at this same rapid pace or with the same time commitment.

Work this hard for 90 days and you won't ever have to work that hard again (except at the end of each month!)

Many others have set this kind of fast pace and reaped the rewards, such as Nicole Fletcher.

Now, it's up to you: with our help, work on your (One Year Goal and) 90 Day Goal, then break it down into daily, weekly and monthly activities and ... JUST DO IT!  As Michael Hyatt advises below, look at this list every morning and populate your Daily Task List with actions that will move you closer to attaining your goals. Then let your disciplined Daily Method of Operation take over.

The 90 Day Challenge by Michael Hyatt (excerpted; you can read the full article here)

We have adopted 90–Day Objectives as a way of life. All of our leaders are required to submit their goals. We require a formal progress report each month. It’s not complex or very sophisticated. But I believe it has gone a long way toward creating a focused and disciplined organization that produces consistent results.

In case you never received any instruction on this simple but important skill, I’d like to offer some pointers. First, why prepare 90-Day Objectives? Four reasons:

  1. To identify what you want to accomplish.

  2. To help you focus on what matters most.

  3. To make sure that you and your supervisor are in agreement regarding your priorities.

  4. To provide you with accountability.

Let me point out several important things about these objectives that you should emulate in yours.

  • They are few in number. Productivity studies show that you really can’t focus on more than 5-7 items at any one time. Don’t try to impress your supervisor or yourself with a long list of objectives. Also, please don’t include sections with several objectives under each section. This is a recipe for losing focus and accomplishing very little. Instead, focus on a handful of objectives that you can almost repeat from memory. Mine fit on one 3“ x 5” card. I put my work objectives on one side and my personal objectives on the other.

  • They are action-oriented. In order for you to act on your objective, it must be actionable. Notice that each objective begins with a verb (e.g., “Achieve,” “Finalize,” “Complete,” etc.).

  • They are measurable. You should be able to sit down with your supervisor in 90 days and determine whether or not you accomplished the objective. Remember: you can’t manage what you don’t measure.

  • They are attainable. Don’t attempt to do more than you can realistically accomplish in 90 days. This may be debatable, but, hopefully, over time, you will become more and more realistic while still pushing yourself to stretch.

  • They are time-bound. Since these are 90-day objectives, you should began by asking yourself the question, What do I want to accomplish by March 31? or whatever the time horizon is.

  • They are prioritized. Your most important objective should go at the top of the list. Your second most important objective should go next and so on.

I look at this list every morning and try to populate my Daily Task List with actions that will move me closer to attaining my objectives. Every day, I try to identify at least one “next action” and do it. If you have never done this before, you won’t believe the focus that this will bring to your life. I also pray over each objective. I know my limitations and am very much aware that I can’t accomplish what I believe I am supposed to do without God’s help. (If you can accomplish an objective without God’s help, you’re not thinking big enough.)

If you have never tried this before, I want to challenge you to give it a shot. In fact, I double-dog dare you. Call it “The 90-Day Challenge.” Write your goals down, and make them happen.
