Ready, Set… Action! The SECRET To Achieving Any Goal

Sat, Aug 21, 2010

I cannot say it enough! Action, Action, Action! To be successful in anything you do you cannot just say you MUST DO! Put forth the marketing strategy, personal growth methods and schedule to ensure you are taking action each and everyday! This is a CRUCIAL part to achieving your goals and dreams. Write down a game plan and stick with it on a daily basis. Ensure you are working towards them everyday even when you have “one of those days”.

We have many priorities in our life that are on the top of our list. Now if we all sat down and were honest with ourselves we would find out that many of these priorities are not really priorities and are taking up much precious time that can be dedicated to building our future and business.

Examples of ‘So Called’ priorities that can either be cut down to a minimum or completely excluded to give you more time, energy and focus on building a successful business and life:

1. That extra half hour of sleeping in, in the morning. First things first, waking up a little earlier and on a schedule actually gives you more energy. I know when I wake up early I feel much more productive than the days when I sleep in. I realized on the days I have slept in I do not have as much motivation to achieve my tasks for the day. Give yourself a extra half hour to hour in the morning and at night to contribute more to your business.

2. Television shows that are not benefiting you. Keep the TV watching to a minimum. Pick up a book, work on personal growth or do a task to grow your business. You will come to find how much you learn with that extra two hours a day (or more depending on your amount of TV time). I am not saying completely get rid of it but keep it down to a few hours a week at most.

These are just two examples, I bet you can think of a lot more! As you can see there are many ways to free up time to bring in more focus on growing a successful home business. This will allow you to implement the Action needed to build a successful business and team.

5 Action Steps to Creating Success:

1. Exclude certain time consuming things you do in your day that do not benefit you and replace them with productive, positive and helpful tasks. Make your business on the TOP of your list. On my list it is 1.My Family and 2.My Business… so this is where placing it on the TOP of your list is very beneficial to your success. If you treat it like a hobby, you will get hobby results. If you treat it like a business, you will get business results.

2. Create a schedule and STICK TO IT. What you want to do is make sure that most of your time is spent doing productive tasks that will bring you results… not ‘busy work’ as they call it. Busy work is organizing your desk, going through emails, sorting your bookmarks/favorites, updating websites, etc. These are things that can be done during down time. So right before bed or early in the morning. Make sure your schedule has all three parts that are essential to success:

Marketing Strategy
Consultation/Phone Time
Personal Growth/Development

These are a good base to start your schedule off with. Then just throw in the rest around the extra time available.

3. Marketing Strategy requires action. You must first game plan your marketing strategy. There are many ways to choose from… just find one way, MASTER it then move on to the next and MASTER that one. You will find much of these strategies in my blog here that will assist you on deciding what you feel is your path of marketing.

4. Consultation/Phone Time. You will come to find when you are taking part in growing through Online Marketing and many of the training within this blog that once you get going and growing you have people coming to you for information. Some will call, some will request it through opting into your autoresponder, some may email you. This must be a priority on your list. You want to answer their questions and give them the information needed. With that said, you will want to ensure you are implementing steps that will have them coming to you, calling you and going through the information before contacting you. This will make it much easier and simplified when on the phone or through email with them.

5. Personal Growth Time. This Action Step is crucial to your success. Success comes from learning, growing and willing to invest the time into personal growth and development on a daily basis. Read 10 pages of a book, listen to an audio while you are working online, watch an inspiring video… these are just a few examples of what you can do in small amounts of time daily and still be able to focus on building you as a leader and individual each and everyday.

Action is truly what you need to achieve anything with in your business. What you will come to find is that if you put forth the required action… you will eventually see it taking on a life of its own. The snowball effect if you will. But you must start now, start today and really spend your time wisely as it is crucial to put forth the action required to achieving your goals!

Hey Jenn this is an awesome list. I use to think a lot of the things I was doing in my business were constructive and on purpose and me being in action…. Needless to say given my language I soon realised that they weren’t!
Some things I realised were taking up my time was the constant checking of emails, spending to much time on social media socialising and not being in business mode and updating this that and everything else… Felt like I was busy but soon realised it was getting me no where
Thanks for the awesome post you covered some great things here
cheers ~ Nat
