7 Simple Steps to Improve Your Time Management

Posted by kamassah on February 26th, 2010

Do you find it impossible to manage your time? If you answered yes to this simple question… than read on. The good news  is that there are a number of steps that you can take to improve your time management.  In fact, these 7 simple steps listed below can turn you situation around.

1 – Recognize That You Have a Problem

Knowing that you have a time management problem is the first step in changing your behavior.  Although it is typical to be late for work or a social event on occasion, it is something that should not be happening on a daily or a weekly basis.  If  it is, it is time for you to realize that you may have a problem.

2 – Decide To Change

Knowing that you have a time management problem is important, but wanting to change the situation is even more important.  You need to set goals for yourself, as these goals can help to provide you with a source of motivation.  Sample goals include showing up to work on time for a whole month, being on time for all dinner dates, and so forth.

3 – Stick To Your Goals

Creating a number of time management goals for you to meet is advised, but it is important that you don’t give up right away or when you are faced with complications.  Setting goals simply just isn’t enough, you need to stick with them.

4 – Create Daily Task Lists

Creating a to do list for yourself is an easy way to properly manage your time.  In fact, it is one of the easiest approaches that you can take.  Outline what you need to do throughout the day.  Be sure to list your tasks in order of importance.

5 – Rely On Time Management Tools

Properly managing your time is important, but it can be hard for many individuals to get use to, especially right away.  If you are one of those individuals, you will want to consider using time management tools to your advantage.  In fact, did you know that many cell phones and computers come with alarm clocks, alerts, and so much more?

6 – Learn How To Say No

In all honesty, there are times where you may not be able to refuse a project at work or a task at home, but try to not take on more than you can accomplish.  If you must, look into using outside help.  In the home, this outside help can come from a housecleaner.  At the workplace, this outside help can come from a coworker.

7 – Get Organized

Organization is key to being able to properly manage your time.  If you are unorganized, you are likely to waste a large amount of time.  For example, in the workplace you can waste time by searching for lost or misplaced documents.  The same can be said for the home; if you are unorganized, you can spend hours searching for your glasses or car keys.

Start practicing the above listed steps and you will be on your way to making the most of your 24-hour day.

3 Reasons Why You Should Not Buy MLM Leads

Posted by kamassah on February 24th, 2010

Buying MLM leads to build your business or down line is a method which some are made to believe is the way to go.  It sometimes beats by imagination why anyone will want to use this approach in this day and time when a lot has been written and said about it being a scam. On the other hand it is the lack of education that leads frustrated marketers to fall for this scam.

Below are 3 reasons why you should avoid buying MLM leads

1.  These lists have been sold and re-cycled over and over.

Many MLM lead companies sell their leads over and over. You will be contacting a prospect that has already been marketed to. Typically, you would want to have leads that are exclusively yours.

2.  Some of these leads are old.

How old are the leads? Would you rather contact a prospect that has expressed an interest in the past 48 hours or in the past 48 days? Being able to strike while the iron is hot, so to speak, is a great benefit of a fresh MLM leads.

3. The quality of the leads are bad

In this day and age when people just want to download stuff from the internet and not get bothered or bombarded by follow up calls, you can be assured that some of these leads being sold have wrong contact information. Nothing compares to an effective MLM lead generation that produces a good quality phone number and email address.

These 3 reasons should make you re-consider any ideas that you have to buy leads.  Use proven systems that will generate targeted leads for your business. Once you do this and get good at it, you’ll start seeing the results that you desire.

2 Benefits of a Proven MLM Lead Generation System

Posted by kamassah on February 22nd, 2010

Before spending money on your lead generation choices, this is the first question to ask yourself.  Why would you want to go about MLM lead generation in the first place?

Over the years the MLM business has gotten a black eye because of the over hyped promises of money and freedom. Very few people have ever achieved a high level of success in any MLM business. And even fewer have ever been able to maintain the level of achievements over a period of time.

But this does not make MLM companies bad. Nor does it take away its promise to afford the average person ways to make extra money or even as a way to drastically change your lifestyle. If it is your goal to build it big, then you have to do it right and this involve lead generation.

There are 2 big benefits of a proven MLM lead generation:

1. It takes away the dreaded family and relatives approaching from the equation. If you have been in more than one MLM business over the years you may have already approached them and used up your credibility when you were unsuccessful.

2. MLM lead generation is a duplicable way to build your business that you can pass on to your down line. Any successful network marketing business will tell you that one of the main components of success is duplication.

So now that you know the 2 benefits of generating mlm leads, I hope you go out there and find the best ones that are targeted to what you’re offering. This is because a non-targeted list will frustrate you and not give you the results that you desire.

Having a Mentor and A Coach Will Give You The 1-2 Punch Power

Posted by kamassah on February 18th, 2010
Guiding people through the right way through life can be a daunting task for any person who is tasked to do it. A person who has to do the guiding has a lot of delicate balances to strike: he or she has to be strong enough to reprimand the person who is following him or her when that follower is not being obedient or is straying from the right path; on the other hand, he or she has to sometimes allow the follower the chance to stray, so that the follower can gain experience and thus be much wiser. There are many different things that a person has to do to guide his or her follower or followers, and these concepts of guidance are covered under coaching and mentoring. The process of mentoring involves the relationship and bonding between master and pupil, a togetherness that is more commonly referred to as mentor and protégé. A mentor is someone who may sometimes be older, but who is certainly more knowledgeable, more wise, and perhaps even more serene and settled than what might predictably be a less knowledgeable, less wise, and flighty protégé. The mentor’s task is to be the guide for the inexperienced protégé: as the protégé learns more and more from the mentor, the protégé is farther thrust into greatness. The concept of coaching, on the other hand, is quite different from that of mentoring. In coaching, a method is employed in which a leader or overseer directs the movements of a person or a group of persons. In coaching, the instruction and training given are done with a definite end goal in mind. The methods of directing people’s movements and thought process might include giving motivational talks. There are also ways to train people in order to make them perform better, such as through seminars or workshops, or through practice, such as those done by sports teams. In mentoring, a mentor teaches a protégé how to live better or how to function better. In coaching, perhaps better seen as a more specific method of mentoring, the coach guides his or her team in order for them to meet an end goal. For sports coaches, this will mean victory in a game. For marriage coaches, this will mean a stronger marital bond. For family coaches, this will mean a stronger familial bond, between parents and children, and sometimes, amongst the children themselves. There are many different kinds of mentoring and coaching, as well as different techniques associated with each.  Having a combination of both gives you the best of both worlds. If you are at that point in your networking career where you need direction(s) to start seeing results, get in touch with the mentors at Mentoring For Free. If you have the desire to succeed and are coachable …… I’ll guarantee your success. Share/Bookmark
