Your Success Blueprint: 7 Simple Steps to Double your Sales with your Time! By, Sarah Zolecki

I am grateful to have been a business for myself over the last 15 years. I guess you could say I grew up in the business. Being an entrepreneur is a wild and eye opening discovery of really Becoming You! You see, my first business failed. The second time around, I worked harder on me. It was a fulltime job- growing that is! The Butterfly Effect I call it. Going from a girl to a woman! My number one challenge- “How do I get it all done?” and “I need more time!”

I get it. Our lives are complicated, busy and going 90 miles an hour. Add in some kids, a spouse, a job, activities….and then no game plan to follow in your business...

That is a recipe for 100% frustration and disappointment. Picture a carton with someone pulling their hair out. You get the picture. It’s ugly.

So, here are my 7 (not so secret) steps I use everyday that helped me create a sustained multi-million dollar business today.

#1- Have A Game Plan.
A game plan flat out gets results. You will be effective and efficient. When was the last time someone said that to us?! Your reward for learning and then applying this game plan is 2 things. One- A life! and Two- peace of mind knowing where your business is at every step of the way.

With a game plan, you can’t wing it. Every time you have winged something, how did it turn out? Your business is a real one. Treat it like one…No time to wing it…you have to be prepared.

So- where are you going? What do want to accomplish? How many new clients? New accounts? New articles written? Videos produced? I do baby steps with my plan. This way I never get overwhelmed.

Meaning, what is my goal this very day, week and month? Yes- 1 yr, 5 yr and 10 yr plans are important as well. I remember hearing this question asked. “How do you eat an elephant? ONE bite at a time.”

#2 Ten Things By 10 am.
Write a list out the night before of 10 things you need to do first thing in the morning. Do the hard things first. A lot easier said then done. I know…ready for this part? No emails, no incoming calls, no internet, no text until it’s done. Just like at your job, if you had a task, you wouldn’t tell your boss “Oh, I got take these calls, or check my emails or got to text my brother Joe back.” Treat this like your life depends on it because it does! Make this commitment to your self to consistently do this and create a positive and productive habit in your business.

#3 Productivity Vs. Activity.
Focus on ONE THING…Revenue or Money generating activities. Ask yourself, is what I am doing moving me closer to my goal? If not, adjust..refocus. Start your day with the highest pay activities first and don’t deviate from it. Top producers don’t multi-task. They are 100% present in what they are doing that very moment and fully engaged.

As an entrepreneur our #1 focus is prospecting for new potential clients for our business. #1 mistake entrepreneurs make they focus on maintaining existing clients. I focus on building new leads into my business.

By doing this you develop productivity muscles..I will warn you, you will be sore until it becomes second nature. Focus on making yourself strong in this area. When you do that, everyone else around you will become strong as well.

I heard Jim Rohn speak at an event in Minneapolis in 2004. He taught me this phrase, “I’ll make me strong for you and you make you strong for me.”

Feel Worthy at Being a Stay at Home Mom, Are Paid Surveys the Way?

I think that moms everywhere would agree that there is nothing more important than family and children. If that is true, then why do moms struggle with feeling worthy at being a stay at home mom? Maybe because doing laundry, cleaning floors, and wiping noses are not very glamorous tasks and they do not come with compensation.

As a mom who stays home I know that I have struggled with feeling worthy while being a stay at home mom. This has resulted in hours of searching the Internet for ways that I can help out from home financially. If you are searching the Internet for a way to make money on-line you know that there are advertisements everywhere telling you one way or another that you can succeed financially. One of the ways that I tried was paid surveys. Paid Surveys, Mystery Shopping, and Paid e-mails are not all scams. There are benefits to trying these methods to feel worthy while being a stay at home mom.

Some benefits are; receiving free items, getting entered in drawings to win sums of money, and earning a few dollars.

When I first started taking paid surveys I had a toddler. Through some of the survey opportunities I received free wipes, formula, and childrens books. I also brought in a few dollars here and there, but I was taking surveys through so many different companies and they all had different payment plans. Often the company wouldn't send you a check until you had reached a certain dollar amount. In the months I took paid surveys I never reached that goal amount, and never received a check.

I found that the hassles that came with working through these means outweighed the benefits.

First, you often have to meet certain requirements to take surveys. If you are not the right age or gender you may not qualify to take a certain survey. Not to mention that you have to take a pre-survey to find out if you are eligible for the paid one.

Also, there are MANY Paid Survey, Mystery Shopping, and Paid E-mail companies out there. You have to do your research to find out which ones are legitimate. This takes valuable time, and sometimes money.

In order to succeed with paid surveys you will have to set up a separate e-mail account that will soon be bombarded with SPAM. So every day you must be prepared to wade through many e-mails as you decide which opportunities are worth your while.

In my searching I have found that Internet Marketing,not paid surveys, is a way for me to feel worthy while being a stay at home mom and earn a significant income. Whether you have an existing business, a business in mind that you want to start, or are open to learning a new business the Internet is the place for moms to help out financially from home.
