Network marketing is an incredible industry. It’s the only industry I can think of that will give anyone the same opportunity regardless of their background or education. It’s also the only industry I can think of that can position you to have time and money freedom together. Most industries nowadays, can usually only provide you with either time or money… but not both. Also, with the economy still in a slump, it’s empowering to hold your destiny in your own hands, by building and running your own business.
But, since the average network marketer comes from an emplyee environment, they are usually not effective time managers. Whether you are a full-time or part-time network marketer, it is important that you learn how to be productive with your time.
But, how important is time management? A better question to ask is probably, how fast do you want to hit your goals?Think about it: If you can become 25% more productive with your time, doesn’t it just make sense that you’d achieve your goals in 25% less the time than it would if you weren’t as productive? What if you you could become 30% more productive with your time? What about 50% more productive?I mean, why drag out the time it’ll take to hit your goals, when you can get them in half the time by getting great at managing your time and becoming more productive with the time you have?
In this article, I’ll go into 3 tips you can use to becoming more productive with your time:
1. Decide what you really want to accomplish – I heard a long time ago, that you can not hit a target that didn't exist. Definiteness of purpose and clarity are two of the most important concepts to becoming very productive. Brian Tracy says, “The number one reason why some people get more work done faster is because they are absolutely clear about their goals and objectives and they don’t deviate them.” The clearer you are about what you want, the easier it will be to overcome procrastination.
2. Plan every day in advance - It has been said that your ability to think and plan are the best tools for decreasing procrastination and increasing productivity.If you read any time management book, you'll find that all of them say that effective planning will save you an enourmous amount of time you would have wasted. Personally for me, I always list down the six most important tasks I need to accomplish the day before. When I get up in the morning, I do not waste a minute on thinking about what I need to do or worrying about something I may have forgotten. I simply attack my To Do list and knock stuff out one-by-one.
3. Apply some healthy pressure on yourself – At some point, you have probably spent a whole day cleaning your house. But, have you ever gotten a call from someone saying they were in the area and would drop by in an hour? Miraculously, in one hour, you cleaned your house to the point that it was presentable and had time to put on a fresh pot of coffee. How did that happen? How did you accomplish in one hour what it normally would take you a couple of hours to do? It was pressure. Network marketers call it a “Sense Of Urgency”. The most successful people, in and out of network marketing, have this sense of urgency. Obvisouly, this does not necessarily mean you need to work every second of every minute. But it does mean, when you do work, be productive and don’t waste time.
So many people think that to do well in this industry you have to be a workaholic. And honestly, there is a short period of time when you need to be totally focused on your business.But, that does not mean that in order to have success that you have to neglect everything else in your life. Just make sure that when you’re working your business, you’re 100% there mentally and that you’re being as productive as you can possibly be.
