Have you ever said or heard people say I don’t have time to build my business, or clean, or do homework, or whatever it is.
I’ve heard it a ton of times and I have said it a ton of times, because I am human just like everyone else. And YES! sometimes it is hard especially when you are starting out in your business, when you have a full-time career, kids and a dream. Its always easier to bury the dream under the ironing or fixing the house or car or other venture. The trick is to WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER one of my favourite ever quotes is this: “don’t be two busy earning a living to make any money”
I lived by this quote when I was holding down my full-time job and building my online business. I had the quote on my desk at work and I LIVED and BREATHED IT!…It was a constant reminder of who I was and what I wanted to be.
One of the biggest myths out there and in peoples minds is that you have to work harder to get rich and its just not worth it this is absolute rubbish. Like I just said we have to work SMARTER not HARDER!
Other people (and especially in this current economic climate) are working harder because they have maxed out their credit cards and have a mortgages silly times more then their income and therefore are forced to work a second or third job. You really don’t have to live like this and it really isn’t much of an existence. Just 6 months ago I had FIVE part-time jobs I wasn’t even in debt lol, what was I thinking? On top of being a mum and having a home to run.
If I can do 5 part time jobs working over 50 hours a week I am sure you can sparey an hour a day to start changing your life. But lets look at this sensibly, there are only 24 hours in a day and right now your probably working 8 or so of them in your full-time job, so we need to use the hours that we have left to make a difference.
If we don’t find a solution for you, you’re going to be doing this for the next 40 or so years and then your going to retire and ask your self WAS IT ALL WORTH IT?
Here comes the mind-shift stuff YOU and only you (with my help and encouragement) have to change something in your life TODAY or (and this is harsh but very true) NOTHING is EVER going to change.
What do you actually do with your time? Seriously? How long do you spend on unimportant ventures? Things that aren’t contributing to you being successful in your business? How much time do you spend doing the following things?…texting, speaking to friends online, reading junk mail, flicking through a magazine, playing games on Facebook, on the Wii or your Nintendo DS?…watching reality TV, reading a book, driving to work and back?
Watch this video I made for you.
Here is a time management gift for you to get you started.
Keep a diary of your activity for a week which will give you a clear indication about what you are spending your time on. After a week analyse your log and start thinking about how you could better use this time to grow your business. You might find you have a few hours a day where you could be doing something more productive and which could seriously change your financial future.
REMEMBER an hour a day is ample time to start making changes to your online business and future, when I started out that was all I could give if you can give more…. GREAT.
My third tip to you is this, every day, week or month (what ever works for you) make a list of 5 goals that you want to achieve and see if you can do them, your list might look something like this:
My Goals:
1.)Sign up for the 7 figure networker system and read the fast-track guide.
2.)Build an extra following of 100 people on twitter
3.) Find out how to set up my own blog?
4.) Research and add content to my blog?
5.) Fill in my affiliate profile inside the 7 figure networker system.
If you have time to read this email you DO HAVE time.
Stay tuned for my next instalment tomorrow, onwards and upwards my friends.
Yours in Discovery,
Beth Hewitt
