Last Thursday, one of my downlines told me that he will quit if they don’t make a thousand dollar in a month. That’s a very common statement that you will often hear in the network marketing industry and I must admit that I’m one of them too.

I can still remember clearly when I first got started, I set a target for myself that I’m going to make ten thousand dollars in my first month. Third day into my second month, I barely made any sales. Of course, I’m disappointed and was in the verge of giving up.

However, I hanged on and my stubbornness paid off. I realize that I was actually sitting on a gold mine (A Network Marketing Business), an equal opportunity business for everyone to create wealth.

My expectation was way beyond my capabilities. I was new to network marketing then and to make ten thousand dollars in my first month was almost impossible. Well, I’m not saying it can’t happen, it can but not for my case.

Many network marketers set goals that are unrealistic and almost impossible to make it. Some even expect to profit in their first few months without doing much work. Let’s face reality, on average it takes 6 to 12 months for you to build your foundation and 2 to 3 years for you to be able to generate a steady flow of monthly passive income if only you put in the equal amount of effort.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that you don’t need to set your targets or goals. What you need to do is to set a reasonable target or goal for you to accomplish that is within capabilities. Only you know what’s best for yourself.

Read on for more tips.

Here are some tips you can follow to ensure that you set realistic goals in your network marketing business and make it.

1. You need to know where you come from?

Are you new? Or have you heard a thing or two about it? Or are you an experience network marketer? You need to know where you come from first before you can set your targets or goals. You see, an expectation is not set solely by what you want or where you want to get to. You must know where you stand in order to set a reasonable expectation for yourself and slowly as you progress you set a higher expectation.

2. What are your capabilities?

Everyone have their strong points and weak points. Some are good at selling and some are good at communicating. When you know what you are good at, you can set what to expect for yourself. So work on your strong points and at the same time learn at the things you want to improve on to take you to the next level. Do you know your capabilities?

3. Inspect what you expect.

Have you wondered why some are able to meet their expectation and some not? It’s pretty straight forward, they do what it takes to be successful. So inspect what you are doing. Does it take to meet your expectation?

So are you setting it too high for yourself to achieve? Bottom line is your expectation needs to meet reality.
