Work Habits For Your Home Based Business

    * SPACE: Set up a space in your home that is dedicated to working. Preferably a place where you can close the door and claim complete uninterrupted privacy.

 

    * TO DO LIST: Start a to do list. This is very easy and you do not need any fancy program. If you are on a PC start a little program called ??? and if you are on a MAC, the program in called text edit.  These are the basic word processor programs all windows or mac computers come with.  Once the program is started, set out your goals. Since this is a to do list, I like to make these little tiny goals that can be accomplished in a fairly short period of time.  I like to do this exercise the night before, this way when I go to bed, tomorrows goals are in my thoughts and the subconscious can work on them while I sleep.  It really does work. Now when you get up, you have your list of things to complete, print it out and get to work.

 

    * TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF: I am still developing this, but what I do in the morning is to make sure I take care of myself. I take Maxwell (the dog) out for a good long walk to give us both some exercise. I eat a healthy breakfast. Brush my teeth and then I am ready to work. I find if I do not do this, then I get distracted very easily thinking about (walking the dog, eating something, my bad breath, etc…). Therefore getting this out of the way ahead of time, reduces the chance for distractions.

 

    * E-MAIL: Here is a big one…. How many of you leave your e-mail program running in the background?  I used to, and every time I would here the audible signal that a new e-mail has arrived, I would rush over and check it out. STOP THIS.  It is wasting your time.  Today, I check my e-mail, at most, 3 times a day. And one day a week, I make a longer period of time to take care of the messages that need more attention. When you are not dealing with your e-mail, quit the program, DO NOT LET IT RUN IN THE BACKGROUND! If you are worried about your co-workers not being able to get a hold of them, put an auto responder on your e-mail that bounces a note back informing them of your new system and that you will get back them at a designated time. No more excuses.

 

    * TIME MANAGEMENT:  All of us are different as to how much time we can spend each day on out Home Based business. Some it may only be an hour, some it may be 16 hours. So we need to make each one of these hours as progressive as possible. I suggest you get a kitchen timer of some sort. It is simple and inexpensive. Set it for 50 minutes, close the door, turn off the phone, turn off the e-mail (unless this is your project for the hour), essentially get rid of all possible distractions. This includes the children and pets too! Go to work for the 50 minutes and concentrate. When the 50 minutes is up, reset the timer for 10 minutes and get up. stretch, play with the kids, kiss the significant other, pet the dog, visit the bathroom, whatever…  RINSE…REPEAT…

 

    * PLUS MORE LATER….

 

If you can’t wait for more from me. Here are some great resources that I use everyday to keep myself in line.

Activity to improve your Internet Based Network Marketing Business

Hope everyone is well,

Todays post is about activity.

In order to have a successful Network Marketing or MLM business, there are things that we must do. And we must do them consistently. These things, make up activity.

Think about it… Activity…

  • Built the house/condo/apartment you are living in right now
  • Built the highways and roads across America
  • Got Man to the Moon
  • Created the internet

These are great achievements!

But Activity can also:

  • Cause that House/Condo/or Apartment to come falling down one termite at time
  • Cause our Highway system to fall apart one pothole at a time
  • Cause a satellite to fail so we have to shoot it out of the sky
  • Cause a server to fail.

The moral is, keep active, and keep your activity in building and being productive, not in tearing apart.

By combing activity with goals, a true direction for your activity can be derived.

There are two ingredients to activity. The first is ACTION

Do you want to earn more money this year than you did last year?

  • Do you want to build your prospect list?
  • Do you want to become a better salesperson and close more deals?
  • Do you want a Massive Sales Organization?

Well all of these take Action and….

The second characteristic of activity… WORK.

ACTION + WORK = ACTIVITY

There are 10 basic characteristics of a person who takes Positive Action and combines it with work to be positively active.

#1 You must be Persistent

Calvin Coolidge once said ” Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence”

#2 You must have and emit Confidence

This does not mean arrogance. You must be confident in your product and yourself.

#3 You must have A-Do-It-Now Mindset

Stop Procrastinating!

#4 REPEAT-REPEAT-REPEAT

Repetition is vital. If you find something that works well, keep doing it. It will be natural very soon

#5 You must be Fearless

one of my favorite saying is to Replace Fear with FAITH. It’s Easy

#6 Along with repetition, you must Plan, Do and Review

Plan your activity, do your activity, and then analyze how it worked

#7 Find your Motivating WHY

What makes you tick, Why do you do what you do?

#8 You must possess a burning Desire and Determination

Brain Carruthers, a top producer for Pre-Paid Legal states ” A burning desire for achievement marks the difference between a real goal and a mere wish”

#9 You must possess Good Habits

You are much more productive if you have good habits, such as going out and finding leads when you have no one to call.

#10 Remember to Keep the #1 Priority #1

Activity should generate money, if not you aren’t doing the right activity.

Remember, sitting on the couch watching television is an activity, but it is not a productive activity. If you are happy where you are at, then watching television all night will work for you. If your goal tonight is to watch Dancing with the stars, by all means sit there and watch it. If your goal is to build an empire to pass on to your children, then get off your ass and do something about it.

Now GO OUT THERE AND MAKE IT A GREAT DAY
