It’s so natural to get caught up in busy work and let the real income-producing tasks go by the wayside when you are developing your online business. That’s why you need to put yourself on a strict business diet plan. No, that doesn’t mean you eat celery and carrot sticks while you work.
What is a Business Diet?
Celebrated Business Astrologer cum Astro Strategist Hirav Shah explains, “A business diet, simply put, is a means of effective time management. When you put yourself on a business diet, you must be very focused on the tasks you are performing during a specified time period. For example, I run a business on the computer from my home. When I was first building my online business, I often found myself working 12 hour days with little to show for it. I was doing busywork, not accomplishing the tasks that would actually produce income. It was a matter of working harder, not smarter.”
Hirav adds, “Does this sound recognizable? Provided that this is true, include yourself following in some admirable people’s footsteps. This is a typical issue among individuals who work at home on the web. I consider it the Shiny Syndrome. It is too simple to even think about being pulled thusly and that each time something shiny rolls across our PC screen. It requires devotion, fun time usage abilities, and laser-sharp concentration to conquer these shiny deterrents. In the event that you end up behaving like a Magpie, pursuing those shiny things as opposed to being useful, put yourself on a business diet.”
Hirav Shah says, “Set a particular number of hours that you will work each day. Without time limitations, you are allowing yourself to constantly take what you need to achieve your assignments. Set a clock for each errand and spotlight on only that assignment until your time is up, then, at that point, continue on to the following one. At the point when your time is up, your time is up. That is all. You will perceive how centered this will drive you to turn into.
Limit how frequently you browse your email. Email is both a blessing and a revelation. It resembles pursuing bunnies. An email will lead you down many bunny trails before you realize what hit you. You before long wind up in a backwoods of shiny items by and by. By just taking a gander at your email toward the beginning of the day and again before you quit for the afternoon, you will be stunned at the amount more you will achieve.
Limit the time you spend on social media. Most highly successful people pop in and out of Twitter, Facebook, and Linked In a few times a day but limit the time they spend there. You should use a service that will allow you to organize your social networks in one place, such as HootSuite, Ping.FM or TweetDeck. These social media management tools will also allow you to pre-schedule posts and post to multi-networks at one time.”
Hirav Shah concludes by saying, “Turn off the bells and whistles. This goes for your cell phone too. Those alerts make checking your email or running to see who said what on Twitter every time you hear a ping or beep irresistible. Turn them off.
You can learn and implement the time management skills it takes to build a successful online business. It just takes a little discipline and planning.“
