What is the number one valuable asset that your business
ever had? That's of course yourself. Ok, but what aspect of
yourself? It is absolutely your time. Your time is
valuable. As we all know, we have only 24 hours in a day
and the time that you spend on your business, it must be
done productively, that makes you money.
There are 4 different activities spending your time to
produce results in your day;
Direct cash producing activities. This is the number one
priority. Contact leads, communicate with prospects. Do
everything that revenues commissions. Position yourself as
the expert.
Spending time on your administrivia (excuse me for the
word). Understand where your money is going. Track your
stats, arrange the registration forms, bookkeeping,
accounting, setting up your schedule for the week.
Spending time on learning. You have to master new tools,
new techniques for growing your business. Maintain a
students mentality.
Spending time on your business back end. After
transactions, what happens with your clients, support them,
help them growing their businesses. Make a database of
happy clients.
Now we know what activities we have to master, but how can
we divide these in time perspective? It totally depends on
yourself. Where are you in your business? Although the
direct cash producing activity is the most important one,
if you are a beginner, then it will be the learning
activity worthy to master. So, the more you are getting
skilled, the more the other activities will come in and
take the necessary time to spend.
So, let's put this into practice and actually use it;
You need to understand where you at, starter, mid-level or
advanced marketer concerning which of the 4 activities you
spend most of the time on.
Write your schedule out, total numbers of hours you are
working the business, write it down. If there are some
changes in your schedule and believe me, it happens all the
time, change it. Be honest with it. See what you actually
doing after a week.
How much time have I spend doing anything else. Things that
were not related to the 4 activities given before. Making a
schedule is a tool, something to use for better results, be
objective.
At last, let me quote John D. Rockefeller, the founder of
the Standard Oil Company, about time. He knew how to
construct and focus his time effectively.
"Do not many of us who failed who achieved big things,
fail, because we lack concentration, the art of
concentrating the mind on the thing to be done at the
proper time and to the exclusion of everything else".
