I've heard it said that women in business have a strength that men don't automatically have: networking.  According to some of the articles I've read in the past, women are supposedly born networkers - we apparently get out there and start sharing our stories and making connections with other women.  Frankly I've seen this go one of two ways; either networks are formed or competitions are started.  Either way, I have noticed personally that the women I've been around are much more likely to jump into a conversation and make a connection over a small thing, such as recognizing a clothing brand on a child or a common interest.

That's why I found the concept of the "Goal Buddy Network System" interesting.  I'm curious as to whether any of you have tried this forum and what sort of results (encouraging or discouraging) it's had for you and your business or career.  If you aren't familiar with it, read over the author's article (reprinted by permission) and let me know if you try it out.  After all, we're almost getting to resolution time.  Maybe networking and building your business network is one of your goals?

Goal Buddy Network System--Business Motivation

This has really been an inspiration to me...The Goal Buddy Network System. An online friend of mine introduced it on her forum. It has motivated me into setting realistic goals for myself in my online business and sticking with them. And it can do the same for you.

I'll share the link with you at the bottom of this article.

How To Participate

1) Create your own thread and name it (your name's) Goals.

2) Include in your Goal Buddy Network thread what your goals are for the day, week, or month and how you will go about reaching your goals. Keep everyone updated in your thread how you are progressing. This in itself, is a real incentive for reaching your goals.

3) Cheer each other on in the other members' goal threads. Help keep them motivated. You can check in daily or weekly, whichever works best for your schedule.

This can also help keep you organized with your business. Share the goals that are most important to you. Make them realistic, don't over-burden yourself by setting unrealistic goals. This will only result in failure.

Consider your time and what you realistically have time for. Look at your schedule...think about what you would really like to accomplish in your online business. Also, if you have set realistic goals for yourself and fall short of reaching your goals, don't beat yourself up about it. Don't give up, stay in the system and keep pushing forward.

To achieve success with any business, it will take motivation, perseverance, and some hard work. This system will help give you the motivation you need. You can also help others stay motivated within the system by replying in their goal threads. Cheer them on, make them feel excited about their goals! This is what the system is all about. You will also learn a lot from the other members.

I have only been with the system one week and already I feel more organized than I've been in a long time. I make goals for each week. I try to update my goal thread daily. I share with everyone in the system what I've accomplished for the day and what I will be doing to reach goals for the week. I just find it a lot easier sticking with a goal plan by participating in this system. It is also a lot of fun!

Do you have an online business that you need to get motivated with? Do you need that extra push to get you excited about it? Have you lost the passion for your business? The Goal Buddy Network System just may be the ticket for you. It's absolutely free to join. Start today and get involved. This system has really been a motivator for me with my business and it can be for you too! All it takes is joining a free message forum and a little participation.
