Getting To The Top Is Not As Far As It Seems

It has been a while since I've brought this topic up, but Monday is the perfect time to discuss your most valuable asset in your business if there ever was one. As your business begins to thrive and grow you will realize one thing, and if you take the time to protect yourself now while your business is still young, this killer of your most valuable asset will never have the opportunity to take hold of your business. What you will realize is your time goes faster and faster. Yes you have so many things that are available, but there is one that you command and can take hold of at this very moment. As a new network marketer you are filled with unending energy to make your goals and dreams come true through your business. Because of this you will spend countless hours doing things that really, in the end, can be quite detrimental to how successful your business can be in the long run. In fact, to this day, I still see some of the most successful network marketers that I know are falling victim to this.Understand that money and leads can flow into your business with abundance and with seemingly little effort once you have got a knack for how to market your business correctly, but not if you don't have time to do the necessary things to allow this to occur. As your business grows you'll see that you will have a natural tendency to want to be more of a manager than a marketer. Don not let this thought take hold. Your business is your ability to bring more people into your organization, support comes secondary to production. Well, once your mind flips to manager mode you will start letting little time wasters creep into your daily routine. It happened to me for a period of time that's why I can share this with you. You will start to spend more time on the phone with your team members thinking you are supporting them, but upon reflection you are doing nothing more than hand holding. If one of your team members cannot find when your companies conference calls are after you have told them once or twice or they don not understand the compensation plan, or they just in general want to chat about the business you're wasting your time. I had days where I would be on the phone for 5 hours or more with my team members discussing things I thought were important, but upon looking back I was doing nothing but babying them. That is not what they need or really desire if they want massive success. But if feels good to do, so you do it and do it again. You look up at the end of the week and haven't even attended to your own promotional efforts. You look back and you see your team growth dipped for that week. It is because you weren't doing the necessary things to keep your business growing although you thought you were.

It is going to be a shift in thinking for some, but always attend to your marketing
efforts first and your team support and personal phone calls second.

Your business will thank you for it.

At the least, have a defined time for phone support and stick to it. If someone calls
outside of that time kindly remind them of your phone hours and tell them to call back then.

It is not being mean, believe me, I have a tough time doing this myself, its setting
defined limitations on the things that can eat your time that do not pay you.

You can not get your time back, so you must be as efficient as possible in your use of it. Do not compromise your time to get your marketing done for anything.

To your success,
