Tick Tock, Tick Tock….. time waits for nobody!It’s more than likely the one resource you’ll need a lot of, especially when starting out. You’ll also have to know how to make time work for you or else it will disappear just as fast as it arrived. We all have the same number of hours in a day but that does not mean we all use time in the same way.
How good are you with using the time you have? The following are questions every business owner MUST know the answers to.
How do you know for sure if you use your business time effectively?
Do you sometimes get to the end of a day without really knowing what you achieved?
How often do you end up not getting to everything you wanted to do?
Are you sure that you’re spending enough time on your business?
How do you know if you’re spending the right amount of time on the most productive type activities?
This is the first of three posts in which I will be sharing with you the way in which I manage my time. If this is a challenge for you then perhaps what I do might work for you too. In this MLM Tips post I’ll be covering an overview of how I do this. I’ll also give you some specific actions to take to prepare you for the next two posts.
If you want to know how to identify a top focus goal then please read, “Blast Off To Success With This Magic Goal Setting Method” which will help you with this. Make sure you have completed all of the actions I suggest in the above video which will prepare you to take further action in the next two posts.
Remember my goal is helping you achieve yours!

Hey Marcus,
This was very helpful to me…more specifically how you mentioned the specific actions that we need to take to generate leads from facebook.
I am planning to incorporate Facebook marketing into my daily action steps in the near future, but I had kind of put it on the back burner because I was not sure exactly what action steps to take.
This video helped me out tremendously.
I need to go back through your old posts when I have more time because I am sure I have missed some great content.
Thanks for everything brother,
J

I feel like I could have gotten 2 times the productivity out of 2008 and part of 2009 if I knew then what I know now.
Thx Marcus!

Marcus,
Great topic. Time Management is one of my issues as well. You always gravitate to what you are comfortable doing instead of doing what is necessary for your busy.
I had to stop playing with my blog all day and get on the phone and building relationships.
I hope all your readers take this seriously, it’s an important skill to master.

Hi Fabio,
Wow I am sure you are very busy then. I find myself too busy with just one business to be honest.
Why do you have two?

I´m currently diversifying the areas although all my business have in common the fact that some part of it are online. Be that to make possibly costumers to call or request budgets through telephone or e-mail or to simply sell a product online.
But since im in the begining, the most difficulty part is time management

Hi Fatima,
Many if us are not either not the best time managers or we simply try to do too much with the time we have available.
