So will you ever make a fortune network marketing? Some people really do pull in fortunes, while others are happy just to pay the bills and have more freedom. Whatever you want from your home business you will need to learn the trick of focus.
Making money working from home is the dream for many people today. Whether you want to spend more time with the kids, make a few bucks while you’re home anyway, fire your boss, or simply stop wasting time in the daily commute, a network marketing internet business can be the best work at home plan.
However, it is not as easy as some people want you to believe. Pick up a copy of Ann Sieg’s free report The 7 Lies Of Network Marketing to find out. The quit rate in MLM business is huge. Around 90% of new recruits will not succeed. This gives MLM a bad reputation. But did you know that the failure rate for any other type of home business is just as high?
The problem is not the fact that it is MLM. It is tough starting any kind of home business. And the main difficulty that most people have can be summed up in one word:
Focus.
Distractions, interruptions, boredom, spending too much time on unproductive tasks … working from home with no boss hanging over us, we all suffer from some if not all of these issues. They all lead to bad time management and lack of focus, which means less money coming in.
The worst thing we can do is hop from one task to another during the day. Every time we transfer our focus to a new task, we spend time getting into the ‘zone’ of the new task. Recent research claims that it can take as long as 20 minutes to get fully into the zone of whatever we are doing. Only then are we truly focused on the task and able to work most effectively.
Sure, have frequent breaks. Take 10 minutes to stretch, relax, fetch a glass of water. But do not watch TV or make a non-business call that is likely to stop you getting back to work. Take a pen so you can write down ideas that come up during your break.
Plan your schedule and keep to it, without interruptions or distractions. Focus on your number one priority for the day, and do not do anything else until it is done. Or for longer projects, allocate a certain time each day for it, and catch up with your email, calls etc after it is done. But whatever else you do, keep your focus through all of your working time.
