Creating a Successful Daily Routine

Why is it that some people seem so super productive while others seem like they simply spin their wheels, not getting much accomplished at all?  Have you ever felt that some people get more done before 9 than you can do all day? 

If you want to be successful in your home business, you have to learn how to be productive with the money producing activities.  You know, prospecting, inviting, presenting and promoting events.  But how can you learn to be consistent with these activities every day?

Creating A Successful Daily Routine

Have you ever noticed you are a creature of habit? Do you find yourself doing the same thing each and every day?  That’s your daily routine and it’s simply a series of habits that you have.  Most don’t even realize that they live life on autopilot.  If you’re daily routine is not proving productive nor profitable there is some good news for you – you can change it!

In order to be productive every single day you must learn to establish productive and profitable habits.   Without a plan, you are asking for failure.  But if you have a plan and you work it, you create an open door for success.  Your actions must be intentional and your habits must be productive.  Take those activities that will make you money – prospecting, inviting, presenting and promoting events – and put them on your calendar. 

In a search for time freedom, you’ll have to learn to live by your calendar.  That may sound counter-intuitive, but YOU get to tell your calender what to do…but for maximum productivity, you need a daily routine.

Daily routine is vital in order to be consistency.  …and you know consistency is vital to success in the home business industry.

There Is A Time For Everything

As you begin scheduling your ideal daily routine, keep productivity and timing in mind.  For instance, prospecting and inviting are vital, but 6am may not be the ideal time for that, even if you are a morning person.  This time frame may be the best to build in exercise or reading/personal development. It may be the best for planning your day or your week.  Or, depending on your lifestyle, it may be ideal for prospecting at the gym.

For many, the afternoon and evening hours make more sense for prospecting and inviting.  You know your schedule and your lifestyle better than anyone else, so look for those blocks of times when you can be productive and spend time building your business.

You have to make sure that the activity makes sense for the time that you are placing it on your calendar.  For instance, many of the people I speak with work a 9-5 job, so calling them at 9 in the morning will get me nowhere….except in their voice mail box.  Scheduling a time to talk on their commute home often proves ideal.

The Best Way To Be Productive

The best way to be productive each and every day is to have a daily routine, and to make that routine a habit. It needs to be embedded in you so deeply that it feels awkward if you do not prospect, invite and present on a daily basis.  Being productive is a habit just like being unproductive is a habit.
Know the tasks you need to do, add them to a calendar and create a habit of following a routine that gets it done every day!
