Working for yourself is definately very different to working for someone else. You tend to get more done when someone is looking over your shoulder. You have a list of what to achieve that day, or else you just have something specific that you do, and just keep repeating it all day. You also usually have allocated break times.
Try working for yourself and that all changes. If you have a franchise, somewhere to actually go to work, you may be able to keep the same working style. Working from home is another story.
No Boss looking over your shoulder, take a brake, as many as you want, when you want and achieve as much, or as little as you desire.
So, having tried out many different ways, here are my Top 5 Ways To Waste Your Time, Work For Hours And Achieve Nothing.
1. Check E-mails. As soon as you log on to you computer, the first thing you do is check your emails. Doesn’t matter if you have one e-mail account or a dozen. Check them all. If you have subscribed to a few lists to receive emails and newsletters there should be a few emails to check, all with links inserted in them. Click on all the links, just to see where they go. You never know, it might be a you-beaut marketing tool that does all the work for you.
2. Check Payments. If you are a member of a mlm or network marketing company, or an affiliate with Clickbank or any of the multitudes of other affiliate companies, log on to see how much you have earn t since yesterday. Just in-case you actually did earn some money and hadn’t realized it. Wellll, stranger things have happened.
3. Do More Training. While you are logged into you company or affiliate program, you might as well do some more training. You’ve studied up on Article Marketing, so have a look at how to do Video Marketing, just in case you might prefer speaking to a camera instead of writing.
4. Take A Break. ……………………………………………………………………… Sorry, I’m back from my break now. You’ve been working very hard, checking e-mails, clicking links, studying up on more training, yes about time for a coffee, or tea, and bikkies. Lets just turn on the tv, just to see whats on. We’ll turn it of again straight away, unless it’s actually a good show, then might watch it, but just a little bit, probably.
Now that your finally back from your break…
After all the training you did, checked out all the new you-beaut tools people are promoting and found that you’re earning no money at all
Number 5 is
5. Decide which method of marketing/promoting you are going to do and do it tomorrow. You’ve worked far to long and hard today to actually do anything constructive, so lets start that marketing campaign tomorrow
Unfortunately, as soon as you log on to your computer tomorrow you’ll start at number 1, and so the cycle continues…
