Franklin Planner and Goals - Part Two
Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on February 15th, 2007 My thanks to Jan Robinson, my upline Executive in Watkins, for this excellent information on organizing and growing a Watkins business using the Franklin planning system. These same principles will apply to any other network marketing business. Planning is crucial for all. The following is part two of four parts to this article.
Start with Values, then Long Range Goals, then break them down into your smaller steps: Intermediate Tasks (Daily Tasks). For the Intermediate Tasks just brainstorm - throw ideas down however they occur to you.
EXAMPLES:
