I Cannot Find the Time
How many times have you said that? I’ve said it, and I’m sure nearly everyone
has. We certainly must not be looking in
the right place, because “time” has not gone anywhere.
For entrepreneurs, scheduling our days can
make the difference between success and failure. For those who work their business part time,
they simply cannot work their business whenever they have a few minutes “to
spare.” For those working a full-time
home business, if our time is not well organized, we may never get to
high-priority tasks.
It is very helpful to have a schedule of
what days we plan to work, how many hours we plan to work on those days, and at
what time we will start and finish working each day. In addition, we’ll likely be more productive
if we schedule the various tasks we plan for each week.
For example:
Monday,
Wednesday Friday – place online ads for one hour, beginning at 4 PM.
Monday
through Friday – spend one hour participating on IBOToolbox, beginning at 3 PM.
Daily –
Call all prospects received within the past 24 hours, beginning at 5 PM.
If we plan our days, treat our business
like a job where we are expected to start and finish at a particular time, we
will accomplish more and be more successful.
Many business owners treat their businesses more like a hobby to do
whenever they can squeeze in an hour or two.
It is unlikely they will ever succeed with their business.
Time is ours to spend however we wish to do
so. We must “make” the time to do the
many tasks required to maintain and grow a business. If we are really serious about what we are
building, we should never be unable to “find the time.”
