5 Weapons of Mass Distraction
How much time you can devote to building your network marketing / mlm business while holding a full time job is a case of simple math.
We all have 168 hours a week. Let's deduct 100 hours representing your full time job (assuming you work 40 hours), a conservative half-hour commute to/from work and 8 hours of sleep each night (like we get 8 hours of sleep). Suppose you spend 6 hours daily preparing meals, having meals, getting ready to go to work,
doing laundry, doing dishes, cleaning the house, helping with homework, etc. This leaves you with 26 hours to spend on your business, right? Wrong. What about the shopping that has to be done? And spending quality time with the children.
With that type of exhausting schedule, you will be extremely lucky to find an hour each day to build your network marketing / mlm business.
When you do settle in, make every minute count. You will find many weapons of mass distraction that will attempt to rob you of focusing solely on taking care of and building your business.
EMAIL. Sort through it quickly: respond first to team members who have questions or situations needing your attention. No time to open email with forward jokes or pictures of cute Chihuahuas dressed up in tuxedos and formal gowns. DISTRACTION.
SKYPE. Your team members or upline may have left you messages on Skype. Rapidly respond to these but avoid the temptation to make a Skype return call. We all know it'll turn into a time waster. And, definitely do not answer any Skype calls of a personal nature as these too are time wasters. DISTRACTION
SOCIAL MEDIA. Using social media such as Twitter or Facebook is extremely effective in building your business. The clock is ticking, zero time to read and answer personal messages simply open, read and answer any communication about your business. With Twitter, use a service to accept followers, delete those who do not follow you and, definitely, automate your Twitter Tweets. Reading the gazillion Tweets that fill your screen: DISTRACTION.
PHONE CALLS. There is perhaps no greater usurper of your time than the telephone. Especially when you get a dear friend, let's call her Chatty Kathy (my wife's name is Kathy, sorry dear) who wants to give you every excruciating detail of her day. The simplest solution for these interruptions: let your answering machine handle these DISTRACTIONS, not you. (One of my elder aunts will call and speak to our answering machine as though it is part of our family. Problem is, she calls it four or five times in a row to keep adding to her original message.)
TELEVISION. Wait a minute. I plan my weeknights according to my TV Guide: American Idol, Biggest Loser, Grey's Anatomy, Seinfeld re-runs, etc. Exactly how much money are they paying you to watch these TV shows? That's what I thought. A half-hour of this DISTRACTION will turn into an hour or two and there goes your business building time.
These are very basic distractions. I'm sure you can think of and experience more. Your objective in building your mlm business is to eventually replace your full time job income so you can then free up 40 - 50 hours of work related time to continue building your business even bigger...and, of course, having an occasional coffee with Chatty Kathy to get caught up on neighborhood gossip.
