How to Have a Productive Day Rather than a Busy Day

How to Have a Productive Day Rather than a Busy Day

Quote of the Day: "At the end of each day you should play back the tapes of your performance. The results should either applaud you or prod you" -Jim Rohn

Did you know that there is a GIGANTIC difference between having a productive day versus simply having a busy day? I can't tell you how many people I know, whom I have worked with personally, who THOUGHT that they were being productive in their home businesses, only to find out that they were simply staying conducting menial tasks that meant nothing to their bottom line.

Folks...in the end, the only thing that matters is PRODUCTION. What did you produce today? In fact, here's a GREAT TIP to help keep you on track. I do it. It works! Take out a piece of paper and write down the following words:WHAT DID I PRODUCE TODAY ???Now...post it someplace you HAVE TO SEE IT DAILY. The bathroom mirror, your computer monitor. Put it someplace where you CANNOT MISS IT. That is the important part. Reading it daily and asking yourself that simple question. If you want to make it in this industry, you must PRODUCE. Being busy doesn't cut it. Being productive is all that matters.Focus your time conducting Revenue Producing Activities. If it doesn't make you money, then don't do it. I still have yet to meet a person who makes money dusting their desk, organizing their leads, or cleaning up their office files. You MUST spend your limited time in production mode.

We are ALL limited to 24 hours in a given day. The question you have to ask yourself is, how am I spending my valuable time??


3 Tips to Help You Stay on Track

Here are some tips to help you make sure you stay ON TRACK, in PRODUCTION MODE, and stay away from simply being busy.

1. If you are involved in Network Marketing, spend all of your prospecting, presenting, closing and training. Nothing else really matters. 2

. If you need to conduct tasks that keep you "busy" (i.e. writing auto-responder letters, producing training documents for your team, etc.), do it in DOWN TIME. What I mean here is do it when you can't be making phone calls like late at night or very early in the morning.

3. Track yourself and conduct regular self-checks. Log the number of outgoing dials, presentations you made, messages you've left, etc. This will help ensure you are on the right path before it's too late.

Making it in this industry is simple: Proper application of the right activites daily will produce consistent results.Failure is just as simple: Application of the wrong activities daily, and not recognizing that you are doing the wrong things will consistently produce nothing, except frustration and disappointment.This industry works. Network Marketing works. However, YOU have to work (doing the right things) in order for it to work for you.
