Strong Start Workbook - Arbonne

An Invitation to Reflect
We all lead busy lives, and there are always demands on our time. So it’s rare for people to take the time to stop
and reflect. What are you looking for in your life right now More fun More money More time More friends More
freedom As you begin your Arbonne business, now is the perfect time to stop and think: what do you wish to be,
do or have in the next year
For example:
During the next year, I want to:
BE … (less stressed, more confident, closer to family/friends)
DO … (reduce my debt, add to college funds, take a vacation, pick my kids up from school every day)
HAVE … (more free time, new carpet, new friends, extra cash)
See how that works Now it’s your turn to think about what you’re looking for to build the life you’ve always wanted.
Your Goals
Now that you know your Why, it’s time to clearly define your goals for your business.
Just as important, making a list of your goals gives you a concrete starting point for building a plan to reach them.
Start by looking at those goals, and fill in the blank in the following sentence:
To reach my goals, I’m willing to invest ____________ hours per week.
Achieving your goals and knowing how much time you have to devote to your Arbonne business are directly linked.
For instance, having a goal of making $2,000 a month and working two hours a week on your Arbonne business is
an unrealistic goal. So, either the goal or the hours need to change in order for this goal to be realistic.
Go ahead and write down your goals for the first three months of your business:
Month 1:
During the next year, I want to:
BE:
DO:
Month 2:
HAVE:
Your Why
Now put a star (*) next to the items on this list that your Arbonne business can help you achieve. Look at those
starred items together — you’ve started to define your Why: the reason or reasons behind your decision to become
an Arbonne Independent Consultant.
Month 3:
Your Why is the best “commercial” you have for telling others why you started your Arbonne business. Being comfortable
and familiar with what to say while sharing a compelling story of how and why you decided to build your
Arbonne business is a great way to generate interest in others. It’s important to think about and write down your
Why statement:
What’s your Why Write it down:
Now that you have written your Why, you need to practice saying it to other people. Getting comfortable talking
about your Why is essential to building your belief in this new venture. Start with one Why, but feel free to have many
— after all, building an Arbonne business can help you in many different ways. When you know and believe in your
Why, your passion and commitment to your Arbonne business will shine through!
Congratulations … writing down your goals is the first step toward achieving them! Sharing your goals with your
Sponsor is a great way to enlist his or her support in helping you on your Arbonne journey.
Now that you’ve got your goals on paper, it’s time to work on the specific steps you’ll take to reach them. That’s
where the 30-, 60- and 90-day plans in this workbook will come in handy. By following these recommended plans,
you’ll build a solid foundation for your business that you can expand upon for years to come.
