What is your time worth?

I was just reminded by Randy Gage that it’s March 1^st tomorrow. That means one sixth of the year is over already.

Wow…

And I’m sure that, as well trained MLMers you all set your goals at the end of 2010 didn’t you?

Of course you did!

So, my question to you is, ‘How are you doing on your goals for 2011 so far?’ Not just your business goals, but your other goals, personal, family, fitness?

Are you on track, or are you letting yourself fall behind?

If you are on track, that’s fantastic, and keep up the good work! But if you are falling behind is it because you have taken your eyes of the goals, or is it because you didn’t really mean them in the first place?

Think about it. Maybe you don’t yet have the emotional attachment to them that you need to make them happen.

Sir Steve Redgrave, when commenting at the last Olympics said the only difference between the medal winners and the losers was that the medal winners were more emotionally attached to their goals.

Their goals meant something to them! What do your goals mean to you?

Have you got them written down? Do you carry them with you every day? Do you look at them regularly? Do you visualise yourself achieving them every day? And how does that make you feel?

And when you’re about to take any type of action during the day, do you ask yourself….‘is what I’m doing, at this moment, going to move me measurably towards my goals?’

Because you’d better be sure that this is what the diamonds in MLM, the leaders in any other business, and the worlds top sportsmen are doing…

So, for some of you it could just be time to pick up the pace, and for some it may be time to re-assess your goals and make them something you can get really attached to. That should spur you on to take enough action to make them happen, because in MLM you have a vehicle that, if you work it properly, will allow you to achieve those goals.

How much action do you need to take? Well you’ll need to set aside a minimum of ten hours a week, and preferably fifteen, to build a solid MLM Business. That’s 10-15 hours of income producing activity, not facebooking, not having buddy chats with your upline and downline, but income producing activities like calling people, giving out product samples, meeting new people, presenting the business, and following up… and following up… and following up. 10-15 hours of that per week will give you total freedom within a few years.

Now I understand that 10 hours is a long time, and you’re a busy person. Time management has never been a strong point for me either, so I was recently recommended a book called No BS time management for entrepreneurs by Dan Kennedy.

It’s good!

Although Dan is a bit of a dinosaur who doesn’t even have email or a mobile phone, there’s a lot of things in there that have really made me sit up and think.

What my time is worth for example, was a shocker, and I think it will be for you too!

Let’s take a look. If you want to make 50k per year in MLM, which as we know is achievable within a few years, and you have 10 hours a week, those 2 hours are worth £100 per hour (2 hours X 5 days = 10 hours X 50 weeks  = 500 X £100 = £50,000 pa) , so you’d better make sure they are productive hours, hadn’t you?

If you want 100k per year then you’d better double that to £200 an hour (it works in dollars too).

How much do you really need to achieve the goals that you’ve set for yourself? If you want a mansion, a holiday home, and a ferrari, with several holidays each year, then even £100k won’t cut it will it?

In your case your 2 hours could be worth £500 each, or £1000….or even more.

So don’t waste them!!!

Are you earning that kind of money per hour in your day job? Probably not, and it’s unlikely you ever will, that’s why you’re in MLM. So the next time you sit down to make calls, and end up shuffling papers, calling your team members for a chat, or checking your email or facebook massages..

STOP!

And think what it’s costing you.
