1. A Note From the Coach

Can you believe that we're already into the second quarter of 2008? Wow, how time flies.

So, where are you in terms of achieving what you want to achieve in your home business? Have you accomplished what you wanted to in the first quarter, are you close to realizing your goals, or are you a ways away?

Take honest stock of where you are. Then, get back on track or stay the course you're on, whatever the case may be.

To assist you, consider the points made in this month's Feature Article and Food For Thought sections.

Your Coach,

Kimberly Anne

What's Your Time Worth?

There are only two things you can do with your time: spend it or invest it.

Think about it... you and I can spend our money and we will always get more. However, if you spend your time, it's gone forever. Consequently, time is more valuable than money. Current studies in the sales profession tell us that the average sales person has 4 hours per day of productivity. But the key word here is "productivity."

How easy is it to whittle our time away on personal calls, errands, meetings, long lunches or a myriad of other time stealers and find that the day is gone? Entrepreneurial thinkers value their time... they know what they are worth and are continuously cautious about how they utilize this precious asset.

One of the most common downfalls I observe with would-be achievers is that they want to be six-figure income earners but they are constantly SPENDING their time on $10-per-hour activities. This kind of behavior is putting them on hot rails to failure and disappointment. In other words, their goal is never going to be achieved.

As an entrepreneurial thinker, you must know what you are worth and continually ask yourself, "Is activity going to give me a return on my time equal to or greater than my hourly worth?" Here's an exercise that I have my personal coaching clients complete:

Take your annual financial goal (not what you are currently earning) and divide it by the number of months that you work per year. This may not necessarily be what you ARE working now but rather what you WANT to be working. Now divide that figure by the number of weeks you want to work per month... the number of days you want to work per week... and finally the number of hours you want to work per day. You now have your worth per hour based upon where you are headed versus where you are.

This process will put into perspective how much EVERY HOUR is worth. Do you really want to lose that money on unproductive activities?

To your continued wealth and happiness,

5. Practical Tools for Your Business

a) Are you looking for an affordable, easy to use autoreponder service that's packed with everything you need? I looked closely at 10 services and found what I think is the best one out there. Check it out here.

b) Manage your email instead of letting it manage you. Get your free copy of My Inbox Is Empty!

c) If there was just one thing I wish I'd learned when I first got started in network marketing it would have been this: I didn't need to chase down anyone to get them to join my business. After doing the whole "names list/3 foot rule" thing, I finally discovered how to have people come to me! Click here to find out how you can too:

d) If I could show you how to have a successful internet home-based business in less than 200 pages, would you read such a book? If so, then check out this free e-book.

e) Do you want some tips on how to more effectively network? Then check out The Link System.

f) Do you publish an e-newsletter? If so, spam check it before you send it. That way more of your recipients will get it in their inbox versus their spam or junk folder. Use this handy, free, spam checker tool: Free Spam Checker.

g) To be successful, we all need to continue to work on ourselves. So, get a course in some good, sound, success principles, and listen to it over and over.

h) Keep track of all of the marketing and sales activities you're conducting for your business. Use the tracking worksheet to help you get started.

i) Want to have an unlimited supply of people coming to you for your products or services? Put the "net" into your business with this powerful, yet inexpensive approach.

j) Don't think you can afford one-on-one business coaching? Then consider an alternative. Many people get more than the results they want from group coaching. Contact me for details.

For now, remember: Treat your business like a business so that it rewards you like a business.
