Time Management = Self Management

Last week I attended a seminar about Time Management.

It was a 2 day seminar in the Big Apple, my favorite place and my best friend works a couple blocks away from the training facility so it was great!

Going to this training, I thought I was pretty good at Time Management,
but what I found out was that I was good at planning, not scheduling.

Perhaps you thought they meant the same thing: Me too!

Turns out, they don't: "Planning is deciding what to do.
Scheduling is deciding when to do it.
Scheduling is simply picking a time to do the activities"
You're probably saying to yourself that it's simply not possible to
schedule things because you never know how your day will turn out,
you don't know what may or may not happen on any given day.

Did you know that "at least half the thigs you schedule will probably
work out exactly as planned"?
Practice makes perfect: The more you try to schedule the more you
learn about how to schedule successfully.

Scheduling is the secret for making things happen.
Planning is an intention; scheduling is more like a commitment.
Why do I bring this up? What does this have to do with business?

Everything!!!You see most of us treat our home business as a hobby:
we don't give it the respect and commitment it deserves and yet we get upset
when we don't get the results we anticipated.

If your business is something that happens when there is nothing
else on your plate that day and if you're in the right mood,
let me save you a lot of grief and disappointment: Quit Now!
Save yourself some money and use your time for something else.

Just as you're expected to be at work from 9 am to 5 pm,
so should you "show up" for your business at set times and
commit to those hours whether you feel like it or not.

Are you committed or just interested in making money from home?
When you're interested, working at it is optional,
when you are committed you will do it even when you don't feel like it.

To Your Success,
