THIS STRATEGY IS IDEAL FOR A HOME BUSINESS OWNER THAT ARE INVOLVED IN NETWORK MARKETING. OF COURSE, THIS STRATEGY CAN BE APPLIED TO OTHER BUSINESSES, ASSOCIATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS BUT THE INFORMATION HERE IS ALL PERTAINING TO NETWORK MARKETING.
Some conversation can be surrounded around the whole topic of time management. Yes! There is a few strategies one can use and yes! at times what works for one may not work for another. Depending on how you use that strategy, the results you want to see, the commitment you have and the time you want to dedicate makes all the difference in the world.
While some may say time can not be managed, what I am going to express here is:
- when you can see what activities you must be doing daily to get results and
- what activities you must be doing daily (knowing your results activities and non- results activities)
- with a means to measure that performance to reflect on what you have done and
- how to use this strategy to add to your "To Do" list,
having a strategy in place can make a huge difference on your results.
10 Before 10
I have been working with this strategy that is known to be followed by some top leaders in the industry as the 10 key tasks to do before 10am/pm (This strategy can also be flexible to include into your evening tasks by enforcing the 10 keys tasks before 10pm.). Your 10 key tasks that you must be doing are all important to do at least 30 minutes to 60 minutes a day. Now I know 30 minutes to 60 minutes may not sound like a lot of time to get tasks done but once you get into a habit of doing these tasks daily, your end results can be seen within a week, can me measured & completed in record time, task by task.
One of the important aspects of this strategy is to see the value of 30 minutes to 60 minutes a day & knowing the key tasks to be doing everyday. For an example, when you can see the value of time over a month, see the activities you can have completed in that time then you can see the results of how this strategy is working for so many.
Let's take a look at what you can implement in your first week using the the 10 before 10 strategy with just one activity as an example. When you take 30 - 60 minutes a day at an activity, over the course of a week you can have 2.5 hours to 5 hours on one activity and if you look at that in a bigger picture of your whole month. You will have at least 10 - 20 hours of work that was done toward that one activity with results that can be seen... and you can use this for your top 3 activities that you must do, with your top 5 activities and with this top 10 activities.
Your activities may vary to the list but basically once you can see the strategy, the results you can have with 1 activity, 2 activities then 3 activities etc and incorporate in your daily schedule, you will see the importance to follow the 10 Before 10 Strategy.
* This 10 Before 10 is a base strategy guideline only and must be followed by your activity strategies that you have in place or plan on putting into place for each activity .
NEW TO NETWORK MARKETING
For new network marketers, this can be a great guideline for you to follow. You may already have limited time to put to your new venture. With this as your guideline, you will see key tasks that you can start working on & when you decide to add more time to your business, you can start adding more of these tasks daily & start working toward activities that develop you into a leader.
WHEN AM I STARTING
Being new to the industry or starting fresh, one of the first things you want to have in place for managing your time, is to ask yourself & decide:
- How many hours a day do I want to put toward my business a day? Example: 1 to 2 hours
- What hour(s) of the day am I going to spend ? Example: 6pm-8pm
- When the weekend comes, what hours am I going to spend? Example: Sat. (5 hours) 1pm-6pm
The examples above can easily give you 10 - 15 hours at least a week (given that you are taking the sunday off) within your first week & with planned tasks to do toward that 10-15 hours, I can show you some key tasks to start.
WHAT TO BE DOING
Once you have put this in plan for yourself, you can move on to:
- What ongoing prime activities do I have to do that show results?
- What other activities do I have to do that may not have results but must be done daily?
- What strategy are you going to put in place to measure what you have done?
HOW TO PRIORITIZE ACTIVITIES
You need to ask yourself:
- Why must each of these these activities be done? This is the goal of your activity.
- How am I going to get these task done to see my results? These are the actions you need to do.
- Then you need to put a "To Do" List in place.
you can have your foundation build, a marketing plan in place,
A SIMPLE STRATEGY
- Get yourself motivated to start
- Do your key activities according to your strategy
- Reflect & record what you have done daily &/or weekly
- Add what needs to be done to your "To Do" List
- Repeat the process tomorrow
OVERVIEW
- One of the first things you want to put in place is a STRICT SCHEDULE & PRIORITIZING ! So many people fail to do this and fall into a default time system that can only make getting task done next to impossible and never enough time in your day to be productive.
- Put a value on this time allocated. Make the hours your put toward your business valuable time spent. Get out your "To Do" list and list all the task you MUST do to build your business. at the end of the day, remember to forward those task that you didn't complete to tomorrow's "To Do" List. In business, your "To Do" list should never be blank. There is always something you can be adding to bring value to your business.
- Make this time "Measurable" to show growth. You want to be able to have something in place to see a growth in your business. If you are not able to see a growth, how will you know your business is growing? By keeping your "To Do" list updated you can measure your business growth in what needs to be done, what has been done & if the task has to be done.
- You want to keep your plan where you can see it. On your desk, in your daily planner or in a binder, just have it where it can be easily viewed.
With a plan in place, knowing what tasks build you & allocating time for each task you will soon start seeing how much easier & rewarding your business really can be!
