Step 1. Make Up Your Mind.

You may think you've made up your mind to get to the top, but you haven't. You'll know when you do. If you've not decided consciously to get to the top, chances are you won't. Make up your mind about it. Think about it. How will getting to the top of your compensation plan change your life? Will your family be affected? How? No, really, think about it. Once you've thought about it, if you still want it, then make up your mind. A mind made up will not waver easily. So whatever happens, DON'T change your mind. This is a solid promise to yourself and the beginning of a miracle.

Step 2. Write It Down.

Writing this goal down engages your mind, emotions and actions. This builds your commitment to get to the top. Your mind thinks it, your heart feels, your body acts it. Take this seriously. Use a notebook you like or a fancy paper. Make sure to put the date on it. Each day, take some time to write it out and read it. Write it in the present tense. Write " I'm a ...in XYZ company". Be sure to use "I am".

Step 3. Pretend It.

Do you day dream? Yes, you do. Create a day dream about your goal to get to the top of your compensation plan. Let's do it now. Relax your body, mind and emotions. Pretend that you're at the top, this moment. Watch a movie of you in your mind. You hear your name called, you see thousands of reps and hear their thunderous applause. You feel the excitement. Smile, yes smile big. You're at the top and lovin' it. Day dream for about 10 minutes or more. The best times to pretend this way are when you wake up and just before you go to sleep. This will explode your belief.

Step 4. Work Your Plan.

Plan your work and work your plan. Decide on the actions you'll take daily to get to the top. Then take these actions. Be honest with yourself. Do you know what actions you need to take? Do you need some skills? Your actions should be in the areas of Prospecting, Presenting, and Closing. Don't forget personal development. When you plan your work and work your plan, you move in the direction of your goal. Give this your best shot every day.

Step 5. Let Go, Let Gratitude.

When you make up your mind, write it down, pretend it, work your plan, you've done your part. Really you have. Simply count your blessings and give thanks for them. Let the miracle work it self out. Don't fret or worry. Be at peace and know you're at the top. Give thanks for other areas of your life. Help others in gratitude. Let go. Let gratitude flow in your life. Even in the way you treat other people and react to situations. There's no where for you to go but the top.

These simple steps have helped a lot of people get to the top of their compensation plans. They can help you too. You must practice the steps persistently and consistently. Just make up your mind, write it down, pretend it, work your plan, and let go, let gratitude.

Cheers!
