This may sound to you like a project for you child in kindergarten, not something that can help your direct sales home business, but a goal poster is something that is necessary to complete your visualization of success.
Images that you create or select will cause an emotional response, making your goal an even more believable reality in your mind. It’s not important what you put on the goal poster, just find things that you really have a strong desire to become part of your life.
The images don’t all have to be related to your business. In fact, it’s better to balance it with things from every aspect of your life- family, business, spiritual, personal. For example, if weight loss is one of your goals for this year, you might want to put photos of images that cause you to feel as though you are in perfect health and fitness. Perhaps you are single and have a goal to change that this year. Find a photo of that “perfect” someone and visualize yourself having fun with him or her.
I can tell you for 100% certain that goal posters really work. Every single goal that I have accomplished in my 23 years of business was seen on a goal poster first. The year that my goal was to be Queen of Personal Sales ( that is, number one in the country) I borrowed a tiara from my “Power Partner” who had already achieved that goal. We took a photograph with me wearing the dress that I intended to wear on stage, with the sash, and the tiara. That became part of my goal poster. Not only that, I had copies all over the house!
The only problem that I encountered was weight related. The gown that I had visualized all year to be the one that I wore on stage, was a bit tight when it came time to wear it. My dear husband took out the seam on the side a bit where it would not be seen under the sash. I was that serious about my goal becoming a reality in every way. Imagine my fear as I climbed the stairs on stage that the stitches would hold! ( Alex had a needle and thread in his pocket just in case)
How often should you make a new goal poster? I believe at least once a year, or whenever you have accomplished many of your goals. In the event that you have not yet completed the goals, you still need to create a fresh new poster, that will inspire you. Recycling the same goals and goal poster never works year after year!
Take some time today to create your goal poster. It does not have to appear professional, just personal. If you have a family, it’s fun to get them involved in making it. Did you know that people support that what they help to create? (even little people) This is another way of getting your family supportive of your business. The time will give you a great return on your investment!

Nancy, thanks for bringing the idea of Goal Posters to my mind again. I haven't done one in a while, and I have gotten value from them before. I think things like this can be more useful than new year's resolutions. And I have a home office so I can put it up on my walls with ease.
