Now, let's compare that to my actual earnings
​

Although I missed my goal, that's as close as I've ever been so I'm fairly satisfied with that.  Another positive trend is the continued growth each month when compared to last year.  When you look at the chart above, green numbers mean that my earnings were greater than the same period last year.  Lots of green is good, black and red are not

​Another number I like to watch is my active personal customers.  Continued growth here will contribute to my long term success as an AMSOIL dealer.  

Each customer type has different earnings potential.  If I wanted to maximize my income, I'd focus on developing the most profitable customer types but for now, I'm just looking for general growth

What's next:
I'm going to continue with what I've been doing for the balance of the year and also want to help spread the word to more people about the AMSOIL business opportunity.  I genuinely believe that becoming an AMSOIL dealer is once of the best decisions I've ever made and want to help more people discover it too...maybe through these blog posts

If this is your first time reading my AMSOIL Dealer income reports, welcome.  I create these posts primarily for my own use as a journal of my progress and experiences as an Independent AMSOIL Dealer but also to help you decide if becoming an AMSOIL Dealer is a good idea for you as well.

If you don't want to read the post, I earned roughly $23,245 USD ($30,333 CAD) in commissions from AMSOIL 2019 including my growth bonus

With that said, let's have a quick look at how December, 2019 went...
​
December, 2019 Income (USD):
Goal: N/A
Actual:  $1398.42 (+31.64 vs December, 2018)
Difference:  N/A

​My December, 2019 AMSOIL earnings were up a whopping 31.64% vs December, 2019.  I'm going to give myself credit for this growth and not just chalk it up to good luck.  I spent some time in October and November working on my website and also doing so work locally to get some additional traffic and sales.  I feel my December sales were a reflection of this work.

2019 Growth Bonus
What's not shown in the spreadsheet above is that I also qualified for a growth bonus of $976.10 USD

So, if I add my growth bonus to my December commissions, that's a total of $2354.64 USD for the month.  Not bad at all.
​

​Active Personal Customers:
Goal:  N/A
Actual:  282 (+4 vs last month)
Difference:  N/A

​
​What happened:
I did not work on my AMSOIL business at all in December.  Between visiting family, taking a trip to Mexico and various other distractions, my December earnings were 100% passive.

I'm so grateful for having discovered the AMSOIL Dealer Opportunity that has allowed me to earn passive income like this.

​2020 Income Goal by Month:
In previous posts, I had said my goal was:

As of right now, I still plan to quit my day job but I may change the date at which I do that.  I've made some changes over there that have improved that situation dramatically so the pressure to quit has been reduced - I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

Last month, I made the decision to focus on my AMSOIL business in 2020 and I set the goal of earning $4600 per month by December 2020.  Although I'm still a long ways off from my goal, I did see some growth in November and feel that I made some positive steps toward earning my financial goal by this time next year.

Let's have a quick look at the numbers...
​

My November, 2019 AMSOIL earnings were up 8.52% vs November, 2018.  I'm not sure if this was just a fluke or if my recent increase in effort has already started to pay off but I'm happy to see the growth.
​
If I have a strong December, I may even qualify for a growth bonus this year - I'll need to finish the year with a growth of at least 4% or $21,632 to get the bonus.  It' going to be close!

I mentioned in a previous post that I will have to grow my Active Personal Customers by roughly 32 per month if I am going to reach my goal for 2020.  I'm happy to see that I grew my active customer base by 5 this month but I'll have to get much better if I am to see real improvement.  

Something I may have to think about is how to stop loosing preferred customers / dealers each month.  I loose around 6 or so each month.  I'm not sure what to do about this but it will be something to keep in mind moving forward.

I've Changed my Goal
I've decided to change the wording of my goal slightly.  Originally I had it written as "This will allow me to become a full-time AMSOIL dealer starting January 1st, 2021" but, deep down, I don't want to work my AMSOIL business full-time.  I like that fact that I can just work on the business when I feel like or when time permits.  Therefore, I've changed the last sentence of my goal to now read "This will allow me to quit my day job starting January 1st, 2021"

Although it pays well, I'm not passionate about my day job.  The idea of quitting that job may be the motivation I need to work harder at AMSOIL so that I can afford to quit that other job once and for all.

​Action to be taken:
Reaching my goal of $4600 in monthly income by December, 2020 is going to be a challenge. 

Remove distractions - Stay Focused!
I genuinely think this is going to be my biggest struggle but if I work continuously on my AMSOIL business throughout 2020, I'm sure I'll make positive improvements

Improve my SEO skills
I've always liked SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and back in the day, this is how I build all of my other businesses and even launched my AMSOIL business.  Google is smarter now and I've not really improved my skills so what I've done in the past doesn't really work any more.  I need to sharpen my skills and get better every day

Don't be an undercover agent
This is a silly term Real Estate Agents use.  Essentially it means to let people know that you are a Realtor - or in this case, an AMSOIL Dealer.  I've ordered myself an AMSOIL sweater to wear and will also order an AMSOIL jacket once my budget permits.  I believe this will open up more opportunities for conversations with folks about AMSOIL and how I sell AMSOIL products

I have a lot of other ideas but for now, that's the short term plan.

If I break my goals down, all I have to do is find just one new customer per day.  I don't think that will be too hard.

I hope you found this interesting.  Feel free give me a call if you have any questions about becoming an AMSOIL dealer yourself.  I'd be happy to help.

2020 Income Goal by Month:
It looks like 2019 will finish with an approximate income of $24,000 USD or $2,000 per month.  To reach my goal of $4600 for the month of December, 2020 I'll need to increase my income by $250 per month each and every month of 2020.  Here's how I came to that conclusion:

​
Action to be taken:
Reaching my goal of $4600 in monthly income by December, 2020 is going to be a challenge. 

They say however that you have to set challenging goals if they are to motivate you.  I'm going to work on staying focused, eliminated distractions and sharpening my skills as I finish out 2019 and movie into 2020.

If I break my goals down, all I have to do is find just one new customer per day.  I don't think that will be too hard.

Once again, these posts are primarily for my own use, to help me clear my thoughts and measure my progress toward my goals but I hope this helps you in some way.
