In order for any business to be successful - especially a home business - you need to have some order and scheduling going on. If you want to only put your week-days into your business that is fine - just schedule accordingly. Most home biz procedures can be accomplished in a relatively short period of time - but organization is the key. Whether you use a paper planner or an online calendar - doesn't really matter - but you need somewhere to record your appointments (for both family and business) as well as tasks to be taken care of.
Here is a basic guideline that works for me - of course everyone needs to adapt to fit their own personal life, family and business.
I take a few minutes first thing to plan out my day - maybe 10-15 minutes. Write down all of those errands that come to mind, purchases you need to make, etc. If possible - choose one day a week to do the shopping for business and personal, saving as many run-around trips as possible.
Do you have goals? If not - Make some - however simple they may be - this can be added to as things come to mind. So take a look at your goal list and see where you are, what can be accomplished.
Do you have a company upline or downline? Check in with upline for any changes, updates etc. Then pass that info on down to downline.
Check business emails - and respond to the most urgent first and then complete all responses. It is important to respond to all business email in a timely manner. So check emails at least once daily.
Do you have any follow-up phone calls to make? Do it now.
Do you have any website updates? New Products, price changes, specials, etc. Try to make changes frequently so the search engines have something new to search for.
Promote the website - submit your website info to 3 classified ads, newsletters or groups daily. As well as search engines - submit to 3 search engines daily.
Catalog requests - if you have catalogs - get these out promptly - whether in the mail or local.
Work your contact list - try to contact at least 5 new people daily whether local, on the phone, email, whatever works for you.
Do you make product for your business? Now is the time - schedule a sufficient amount of time daily or weekly depending on your product to ensure you have product demands met.
Tomorrow I'll add in a few weekly tasks - to make your home biz succeed you need to be pro-active and busy, busy, busy - make time for your business. It will be worth it.
