I’ve recently discovered an amazing book that teaches every aspect of building a successful business. The chapter I just read was solely focused on time management, which is something I thought more people needed to know about, so I’m sharing this with the world. I know when you’re trying to stay on the road to mlm success it’s very easy to lose focus and spread yourself too thin, which is why I’m sharing these mlm success tips with you. Start implementing these simple techniques right away and you will notice that you’re closer to mlm success.
I know it’s going to be difficult for you to stick with these rules at first, which is why you’re going to have to become very stubborn. What I recommend doing is printing this list of mlm success tips in BIG BOLD WRITING and taping them to your wall behind your computer monitor. As you’ve read in some of my previous posts, you have to see something on a regular basis for it to engrain itself in your mind. These are not really mlm success secrets, but rather time management tips for any walk of life.
1. Touch it Once- When you open something or begin working on it, don’t stop until it’s finished. Anything that you begin that cannot be finished must be put on a proper to-do list right away!
2. Make Lists- Keep 2 separate lists. One list with only 6 items on it. (these being the MOST IMPORTANT Tasks for the Day) Keep a 2nd Running list with everything on it. Create your daily list from your master list. Get everything done on your list of 6 every day! Anytime you think of something that needs to be done, simply add it to your master list.
3. Plan How Much Time You Will Allocate to Each Task- This is important to decide if your 6 items can actually be accomplished. If you have more than 1 item that cannot reasonably be accomplished in less than 1 day, then you have to accomplish those tasks partially each day.
4. Plan The Day- This is not a general plan, it is very specific. You must plan specifically how much time and when you’re going to accomplish these 6 items, and plan when you’re going to check your e-mail and response, your phone calls, etc…(Also plan miscellaneous time)
5. Prioritize- When you plan your day at the end of the night, think about what will take the most effort and time, and get that done first thing in the morning. This will be when you have the most concentration and energy, and if you put it off, you might not get it done. (group together all of your reactive work- returning phone calls, e-mails… Focus on proactive work such as prospecting, closing sales, and marketing)
6. Ask yourself will it hurt me to throw this away?? – 80% of filed items are never referred to again… Get rid of what you will never touch again. (unless it contains a password, or receipt, etc…)
Make sure that You DECIDE to follow these mlm success tips with the utmost stubbornness, and you will notice that you’re getting more accomplished in less time. By keeping a list in behind your computer, you will remind yourself to stick with these rules. Save the 2 separate to-do lists on your desktop of your computer in “notepad” documents so they can be easily accessed. Again I would like to Emphasize how IMPORTANT it is to Complete ALL 6 TASKS DAILY. Applying these into your daily routine will surely help you on your path to MLM Success.

Wow, Chet Holmes really hit a nerve in me! Thanks for a great article. Creating “to do” lists don't work for most people. They hardly ever worked for me.
But this strategy of 6 items that are IMPORTANT enough to be on your first list – means they take a prominent place in your brain that a normal list never could take.
A book like this, if it can increase your daily productivity just 5%, is worth its weight in gold.
That is amazing insight on time management productivity. Many people put a lot of things on their to-do list and nothing gets done at the end of the day. Prioritizing and organizing every single day is crucial to high productivity and success.Chet Holmes is definitely someone to learn from.
Thanks for sharing the book with all of us Jordan!
Chet Holmes' book is amazing, and is already helping me in so many ways after only 30 pages. I can't wait to make it the whole way through!
You're absolutely right Stephen, To-Do Lists never worked for me either, but now that I do mine this way, I”m getting a ton of stuff accomplished every day!
Jordan you simply amaze me. Yes Time Management – this area can either make you or break you. It is crucial for anyone aspiring to move to the next level. I hear it in your daily energy you share with us all. This will change the way we all do business.
Gratitude to you my friend!
