Getting Into Action to Create Results

Getting into action in your business is so important. It is what creates results. When you’re working on your home business there is always so much information that your could learn, and it is definintely important to increase your knowledge and therefore your value to your prospects and team. But it is so easy to spend so much time learning that you don’t actually get around to implementing the things you have learnt!

This is typical of people who are quite new to internet marketing and network marketing. They get totally overwhelmed by trying to learn all the things there are the know about the how to make money online that when it comes to doing the things they have learnt, they get a mental block and dont know where to start!

It’s not about learning everything there is to know. Its about learning a few things and getting good at them.

This was me at the start of this year (2011). I was determined to work on my business a little bit every day when I got home from work. So I would turn my laptop on and get bogged down with reading emails that had been sent to me by people whose list I was on, and watching videos on people’s blogs, and attending webinars. I was learning loads! But by the time I had done that, I had run out of time to actually implement any of what I had just learnt! Yet I would think, “I’ve done some work today…TICK!”  But I soon realised that I wasn’t taking any actions that would create me an income. I was doing the theory but not the practice!

So I wrote myself a little post-it note that said “What have I done to make money today?” and stuck it to the top of my laptop, so everytime I opened my laptop I would be reminded that, as important as learning was, I needed to put what I had learnt into action.

TIP: I  find that having a routine of actions helps. So I have set days when I learn. And there are certain activities that I do with set frequency. e.g. I email my list every day, I run a solo ad twice a month, etc

You are in network marketing to create results that will lead you to your freedom (freedom from your job, freedom to have more time with your family, freedom to go on holidays when you choose,, etc) and the results you need are to generate leads, convert those leads into happy customers and turn those happy customers into repeat customers. So if you focus on the ACTIONS the RESULTS will follow.
