It Pays To Work Your To Do List

Amber

Even though hiring other folks to do things that you can delegate or are not an expert on can help free you to manage the business, you will also find you are spending a great deal of time interacting with other people who are working for you on a contract basis. There are programmers, distributors, buyers, bankers and more to deal with. You may even find the local government is interested in having your obtain a legal dba (doing business as) name. All this takes time and attention away from your focus on making sales.

When you start out learning how to establish your company, you will hopefully be modeled on other businesses that survived. However, there will not be anyone standing over your shoulder directly telling you what to do. If you do not learn how to efficiently plan your day, you may end up wasting time and effort aimlessly steering your boat in circles. You can avoid this trap by getting into the habit of doing “to do lists” and constantly managing your business based on your initial marketing plan.

PLANNING YOUR DAY

Just because you might be working out of a home office or from your garage doesn’t mean that you cannot work in a professional manner. The biggest mistake more people make when they decide to get in business for themselves is not realizing that they need to structure their days. It doesn’t pay to just do what you feel like, if what you feel like doesn’t haven any effect on the bottom line of your business.

For this reason, you should begin by sitting down each day, in the evening of the day before, and plan your subsequent day. You should expect to work at least 40 hours a week or more on your business, if you expect it to succeed. Many entrepreneurs work 60 hours or more, but they are doing what they love and that’s why it’s fun to them. Part-time businesses yield part-time results. Full-time businesses yield better results and more cash flow.

Take this list out the following morning and follow it to the letter. At the end of the day, look at your list and see how well you did. The tasks you didn’t accomplish, you move to the next day’s list until all your tasks are done. If you found an obstacle to achieving your task, it can become a subtask that needs to be completed so that the entire task can be checked off. Note it on your to do list and use it as a guideline for how well you are accomplishing in your day.

TWO TYPES OF LISTs

There are multiple ways to create a to do list. The two most common are to list everything and then put a priority next to each item, with the number one being the highest priority. Then, you follow the to do list by nature of priority. At the end of the day, you just use checks to determine whether a task was accomplished or not. Then you move it to the next day’s list.

The other way to do the to do list is to list the actions by order of importance for the following day. The first task would be done first the following day and the second task second and so on. Then, at the end of the day, you grade each task based on an old-fashioned letter grade system with an “A” being Excellent and an “F” being failure. This system can be a bit harsh but more motivating than the previous system. Whatever you don’t accomplish, or don’t accomplish well, can be put on the following day’s list.

The first system has the advantage of being a rotating, non-judgmental, form of organization. The second list is very hierarchal and is good for people who are more comfortable with grading themselves or into perfectionism. There is no right or wrong way to do a to do list. You may find your own unique style.

The point is not to follow someone else’s system perfectly, it’s to find a way to organize your day that works with your personality and daily habits to bring you to optimal use of the minutes you have in your work day.

How To Design Your Garden

Amber

If you’re lucky enough to live in a rural part of town and own a house, you can experience the joy of unleashing your creativity in your back yard and letting the whole neighborhood see it.

How do you achieve that?

Well, it’s a simple equation. You take your inspiration, add some information from the internet, add a pen and some paper and you get a great looking garden.

Of course you can always seek advice or leave the whole work to a landscape professional, but if you prefer to do the job yourself, here are the basic steps you need to follow.

Firstly, gather some pictures of garden landscapes, which are to your taste.

You can find lots of them on the internet. If you don’t have a clear idea in your head, inspiration can’t simply come out of nothing.

So collect the pictures you like and decide which design do you prefer. You can add your own ideas, or take out some of the chosen ones. You can combine designs and think of one unique landscape.

Materialize your ideas on a piece of paper (this is why we needed the pen and paper). In your head sometimes it looks a bit misleading, so it’s better to see if all your ideas are compatible. Once you see your landscape on solid paper, you’ll get a more realistic view.

Decide the place of every flower, every pathway, every tree, garden furniture and everything you want to find a place for in your garden.

Then, it’s time to decide which areas would you prefer to be private and which ones would be public. If you go all out with your design to put different decks, you can have your private areas which wouldn’t be visible to the viewer.

You can create interesting private places if your yard is big enough and you can place hedge walls, which can surround a coffee table, for example.

And last, but not least, you should think of the plants you want to grow.

Be it herbs, flowers, trees, vegetables, or just a place for your after noon relaxation, you should consult with your inner designer.

Do you want to have benefit from your garden production, like growing herbs or food, or do you just want to create the most beautiful scenery with flowers?

Keep in mind that the best view of a garden is the one, where the plants are in healthy full bloom. So take care of them well.

Periodic watering, enough sunlight, organic soil fertilizers and never forget organic pest control.

Since pests will definitely find your garden, no matter what you’re growing, pest control London advices reasonable use of pesticides, or none at all.

Instead, unleash the natural insect enemies to your pests. It makes your garden balanced, cures your pest problems and there are no chemicals on your plants.

If problems with pests are a bit too much to handle, or there is a serious infestation of a large population, call a professional firm.

How Would You Like To Become A Super Affiliate

Amber

Over the last few years, many people have taken the jump and joined the world of affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing allows you to work for yourself, at home, without a boss, and put your experience, determination, and independence to work for you! Of course with any business on earth, success doesn’t happen over night, and there is no get rich quick scheme but, if you are persistent, and absolutely determined to give this your all, it could be the potential business you have been looking for. In fact, it might be that residual dream you have been thinking about for the last few months. Residual money is nice because you know it’s stable money. It’s always going to be coming in and you can always make more.

In order to become a super affiliate, the best advice I can give you is to follow others that have become successful in this business. The most important step for you to become a super affiliate is to find a niche. You don’t want the niche to be overpopulated and over-saturated, but you also don’t want to sell something that no one has ever heard about because, then they won’t buy it. Once you find that one niche, you can always expand your niche or another niche, but as a first step you should consider finding one “ultimate” niche.

Once you figure out what niche you want to promote and you figure out where you are going to be getting the products for that niche, the next step is to promote. By promoting your website or product, you are getting your link out there. The best way I have found to promote is to use backlink services such as manual submissions, article writing and submissions, and social bookmarking services. You can easily find these services on almost any forum that has a service or marketplace section. Just be wary to whom you pick. Make sure the person either has great feedback, or make sure they are credible.

Make sure you know everything you can about the product your selling. There are a few reasons for this. One main reason is because when someone asks you about the product, you want to make it sound like you know what your talking about. Knowledge is power. The second reason is the more you know your product the better you can promote it and in turn earn from it. For example, promoting a nascar merchandise store on a food forum probably isn’t the best way to go. Instead, you would be better off promoting it in a sports arena or an auto arena. Its common sense!

Keep on top of the merchant trends. If you find that your e-book (or whatever your selling) is in a niche that isn’t popular right now, but you find that selling cell phones is, then switch over to the more popular niche while you can. Be prepared to change niches if need be and let those changes work for you rather than against you! Remember what may have been working last month, might not work this month. You need to learn to tweak your product.

With some hard work you are on your way to becoming a successful in demand super affiliate! Good luck!
