Time Management
One thing that has come up constantly for me ever since I decided to be an entrepreneur is TIME MANAGEMENT. Learning how to to be accountable and efficient with our time is a must!
We all have the same amount of time in each day. We must learn to leverage our time to make the most out of our energy and our efforts. I have learned a few things about time management since making my foray into this industry, and I figured I would use this opportunity to share my top 3 favorite things with this awesome community... Would love to hear your experience with this and/or any ideas you may have! Here goes...
1. KNOW THAT YOUR TIME IS AS VALUABLE AS YOU WANT IT TO BE! This piece of knowledge alone has made me look at my life differently. Basically what this means is that we are divine beings with a LIMITED amount of time here on earth, and for the person looking for wealth and financial freedom, you cannot let anyone or anything interfere with the value you attribute to your most valuable resource: your TIME. (If you want to make $1 mil, know that you would have to make $500/hr for 2000 hours...)
2. GET UP EARLY! As entrepreneurs, our time represents opportunities to learn, work, and earn. While you are sleeping, someone else is out there doin' work! Get up early 6 days out of the week and enjoy a sleep-in on Sundays.
3. TAKE BREAKS! As internet marketers, we spend a lot of time in front of the computer. Set your timer for 1 hour, use that hour as efficiently as you can (chunk tasks together to stay in certain mind-sets) and reward yourself with a twenty minute break to stretch, breathe, walk, talk on phone, go outside, etc. You will be more refreshed for your next session and will feel like you got more done.
The name of the game to time-management, as is in anything else, is BALANCE. Stay balanced and know that success is the sum of small efforts taken daily...
