A Time Management Strategy For Network Marketing Distributors

I just came across a great time management strategy for network marketing distributors. 95% of you are like me. You are building a network marketing business on a part time basis.

You probably have a job that you work 40 to 60 hours a week. Or, you are like me and you have a business that you put in those kind of hours for, if not more. Most of you are probably married and many of you probably have children.

You also have hobbies and interests that you enjoy. You also need to sleep.

So how do you find the time to build your network marketing business?

Do you abandon your family and tell them "I'll spend time with you when this business starts making money?" That's a great way to have your kids hate you and to have your husband or wife ready to divorce you. I posted a little quote I came up with about divorce on twitter. I said "Divorce is like getting an amputation with no health insurance and no anesthesia." Not a good idea if it can be avoided.

What about cutting your sleep down from the 7 1/2 to 8 hours that you are suppose to get down to 6, 5, or even 4 hours? You may not realize this but when you don't get the proper amount of sleep, you are actually LESS productive not MORE! The reason why is because you can't focus and concentrate like you need to and you get less done as a result. So I want you to get your sleep.

What about abandoning your hobbies and interest? That's also not a good idea either. Your hobbies and interest are what makes you interesting. They are also a great way for you to find commonality with other people, which help your recruiting efforts.

Now they shouldn't take up ALL of your time. I mean, come on if you're at the bowling alley, on the golf course or playing video games EVERY NIGHT for HOURS at a time, you're probably not going to build a successful network marketing business. However, I believe taking some time to engage in your hobbies and interests is very healthy and actually helps you to be more productive when it's time to work.

So what should you do if you are very busy and are pressed for time to build your business?

Eric Worre spoke about this on his blog yesterday and I think that he answers this question better than anyone else that I've ever heard answer this question. I highly recommend that you take a look at the below video and see what he says.
