Solavei is a member-driven business whose success depends on the success of the members. It is each and every member’s drive to share something beneficial with someone else that continues to expand the reach of the company. These members are determined to change their life and the lives of those around them.

Our Solavei members work hard towards a goal. They may be looking to eliminate their phone bill, to change their life by earning enough to pay for their groceries, for a car payment or to pay off their student loans. For many, it is to positively impact those around them. One of our top performing members, Staci Wallace, challenges herself to create a Trio a week. Some weeks she may find herself at Thursday and still needing one more person to complete that Trio. So she buckles down and focuses on enrolling that third person as a member.

However, a goal like Staci’s could never be realized without rewards along the way. Make sure to recognize your accomplishments as you strive towards the end goal. Remember, you deserve a reward for your hard work and achieving your goals. So take a moment and do something special for yourself. Our Reach the Beach incentive trip was a celebration of the hard work of these members. Even if you weren’t a Reach the Beach winner, it’s now your opportunity by setting your sights on the next challenge and focusing on winning a cruise in the Caribbean with us on our Cruise to Thousandaire!

I want to recognize every dedicated member within Solavei. Your energy, initiative and unwavering enthusiasm for Solavei has brought us all to where we are today. Together, we are at the forefront of changing social commerce forever, and making millions of lives better along the way. Thank you.

Join me on Twitter. I would love to hear your Solavei story and how it has positively impacted your life. Tweet to me @rwuerch.

A few months later, I ran the Virginia Beach marathon with bad stomach pains. My time was 3 hours and 31 minutes.  My wife Shawntel said to me one time, “Why do you run these marathons?” to which I responded, “I don’t know how much I have in me, how fast I can run, how many I can do. All I know is I don’t want to be 70 years old and say to myself, ‘Was there more in me that I didn’t discover?’ I want to know that I utilized everything that God gave me.”

In 2008, I qualified for the revered Boston Marathon by running the Berlin Marathon in 3 hours and 19 minutes.  I’ve now run in Boston for four straight years and it never gets old. Today, I enjoy running because it allows me to challenge myself with new goals and it forces me to never give up even when everything says to stop. Running provides me with peace of mind and a healthy body.

This year, I decided to challenge myself to run 12 marathons. And today marks the completion of that goal.

Despite the fact that I had the one of the busiest schedules I’ve ever faced this year, I worked hard to find time to keep running and preparing for the marathons. I implemented a strategic plan to accomplish my goal. This goal setting strategy is successful for all types of difficult challenges, not just running, so I wanted to share it with you here.

1. Define what you want and what is the ultimate goal that you want to accomplish.
2. Clearly develop each step required to accomplish your goal.
3. Monitor where you are along the way continuously.
4. Evaluate what is needed to maintain the course for completion.
5. Work hard and stay focused.Once you have accomplished your goal….
6. Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate! Draw in everyone close to you to share in the celebration of a challenge overcome and a goal accomplished!

Step six is one of the most important elements of accomplishing your goals. This celebration is your reward to yourself for your hard work. It will give you the drive to start on your next major accomplishment! In life, I believe that goals drive attitude and productivity.  Goals that stretch you and force you to overcome obstacles will always increase your capacity to be able to do more next time.  Whether it’s a personal goal or business goal, having and accomplishing challenging goals always keep each area of your life moving forward with positive momentum.

And remember, the word “can’t” does not exist in your vocabulary and the word “YES” always refers to “I will” and “I can.”
