Product Usage Tips: Plan, Prep, Goal!
You may be using your SAM planner for any number of reasons: to help you become more organized, or as a motivational tool to keep you on track throughout the week.
But we hope you are using it for its primary reason and that is in helping you achieve your goals. The planner is broken up into three main sections:
1) The business planning (goal setting) section
2) The activity management section, with the week-at-a-glance pages, and
3) The business management section.
On the week-at-a-glance calendar pages, there i
s an area that may seem easy to overlook at the very top of the page for posting your goals every week. This is critically important when it comes to maximizing the planner - it is one of the most important things you can do each and every week!
By posting your activity and results goals across the top of every page, you are keeping your goals in front of you at all times, consciously and subconsciously.
The section of the planner is inspired by an audio tape from Earl Nightingale titled “The Strangest Secret,” which describes that we become what we think about. In other words, we move in the direction of our most dominant thoughts. That is why it is so important for you to keep your goals in front of you at all times.
The exercises that you go through each week, like posting your goals at the top of each page (and keeping score across the bottom) and periodically checking it is one of the most important things you can do. With this habit, you will be able to stay focused on your goals and the activities you need to complete in order to achieve them.
