Some would argue the point that nothing is more valuable then money, but I'm here to explain to you why money is not the most valuable thing when building your network marketing business. The one thing that I much more valuable then money is.... (drum roll)... time! Yes, time is more valuable then money; and the faster you internalize that, the faster you will start to see positive changes in your business.
We all spend time and money on a daily basis. In your network marketing opportunity you probably spend time going to meetings, and listening to conference calls. Your money may be spent on training programs, and maybe even on buying leads. But the big difference between your time and your money is that, when you spend your time... you don't ever get it back! You can always make more money, but there is no way to make more time. We are always getting older and losing time that we can never get back, therefore time is far more valuable then money! And it is the correct management of your time that enables you to make the type of money that you desire.
Are you falling short of your financial goals? Well take a deep look at how you are spending your time. Are you spending your time on the things that matter, or wasting them on useless distractions.
Many people are unsuccessful in life because they spend the majority of their time on the things that matter least. How much TV do you watch compared to how many leads you call? Do you spend more time on Facebook gossiping and being nosey, or building quality networking relationships that could be mutually beneficial and bring traffic to your website? What are you wasting time on that is causing you success?
Time Management Tips
Implement the Time Management Quadrant from Stephen R. Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
The 1st quadrant represent things that are Urgent & Important.
- Pressing Matters, Crisis/Panics, Upcoming Deadline Driven Projects
The 2nd quadrant represent things that are Non Urgent but Important
- Preventions, Relationship Building, Planning/Preparation, Implement System, Achieve dreams/goals
The 3rd quadrant is for things that are Urgent but Not Important
- Interruptions, Some Calls/Emails, Popular Activities
The 4th quadrant are all things that are Not Urgent and Not Important
- Busy work, Time Wasters, Unproductive Activity
The 2nd quadrant is the home of the successful individual. But most of us are living in the 1st quadrant and letting it control our lives! While others are just wasting way too much time (that they will never get back) in the 4th quadrant. By focusing on the 2nd quadrant (the prevention quadrant) you minimize the size of the 1st quadrant. And you can never been successful by running around trying to fix the urgent matters in quadrant one. Remember we cannot let things that matter most, be at the mercy of things which matter least.
Also... When thinking of spending your time wisely, imagine two things. A compass and a clock. Let the compass represent your overall goal and the direction that you want to move in life. And let the clock be the management of the time. When it comes to time management, before you ask "Am I doing things right?" ask yourself, "Am I doing the right things." Because there is nothing more frustrating than climbing the ladder of success, only to find out that your ladder was against the wrong wall! So let your compass guide your directions, and your clock manage your steps in that direction.
Do you have time to waste in your business? If not it's important to learn the secrets to spending it wisely. Also look into finding a proven leader to help you reach the level of success you want in your business. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Dion_Williams |  |
