Chapter 7–Organized Planning
“I am so busy! How do I find the time to build my network marketing business?”
This is a question that I think about often.
My life is brimming full with many things. My 3-4 days of work at a country décor store, church and church-related activities, family activities, as well as the ordinary responsibilities of doing dishes, cleaning bathrooms, and all the other unglamorous activities that require attention.
Being a Blue personality, I easily get distracted. I start one project and suddenly find myself cleaning out my underwear drawer. I start to mop the kitchen floor and then I realize the windows are needing some attention, too. Before long I am upside down in my time and have spent hours doing things that suck the valuable minutes from my day.
So here’s what I have done to give me more time to build my business.
For over 25 years I have been part of our church’s choir. Each Christmas we do a Living Christmas Tree that has become a hallmark of Christmas in our community. It’s fun but requires massive amounts of time: learning and memorizing 14+ songs, 3 months of rehearsals, 2 dress rehearsals, and 7 performances.
This year I made the decision to suspend my involvement with the Tree to have more time for building my business. I am still faithful to my church but I’m just reprioritizing for a short time so that I can eventually have MORE time for the Tree in future years.
I had to take a hard look at where I am in life and what I want. Building an income stream of “Beach Money” will do more for my family right now than being one of 45 singers in a beautiful Christmas production.
For me, being busy doing good things gave me a sense of worth and helped numb me from the reality of my financial condition.
Once I recognized this in myself, I began to see it in the lives of others. We keep busy, busy, busy to avoid doing the very thing that is going to change our lives forever. We invest countless hours of emotional energy into the political scene, but the reality is that we have only one vote.
I’m not worrying about the tidiness of my underwear drawer or if my floors are spotless. To be laser focused on growing a network marketing team requires time. My job is to put fences around blocks of time in my week so that I can continue to do Personal Development, work the MFF system, make phone calls, and do presentations. Instead of avoiding ACTION I must DO it. I just can’t think about it or talk about it.
I have shifted more into WANTING network marketing instead of just NEEDING it.
And that is making a difference in my business and in my life.
