Success is in the small things done well and consistently!
Susanne Myers reminded me last night’s Weekly Live Training that success is really rooted in the basic routine that we set up for our business.
It’s all about doing the right things and doing them consistently. She shared how she uses her Daily Affiliate Checklists to keep her business growing to the point where, although she lives modestly because that’s who she is, she and her husband were able to buy a small beach house this year – for cash!
Some people (no one sitting in this chair, of course) like to flit from thing to thing as new tasks fly through their mind.
In the middle of typing a blog post, take this one for example…
- Someone is pinging me on Facebook – do I have to respond?
- Then, I remember a task I want to assign to an assistant. Gotta do that before I forget.
- I remember that I had an article that I needed to write.
- Then, my wife wants to ask me a question about my schedule. Can’t ignore her.
- Then, the day’s gone and I haven’t finished that blog post I started hours ago.
Focus! Focus! Focus!
Checklist from Susanne
Doing the right small tasks day after day lead Susanne from a small online income goal that allowed her to pay the phone bill to a significant online income that enables her debt-free beach house. (Remember how bad the economy was last year? Apparently, she didn’t get the memo…)
Then, there’s the Duh! moment… Business is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s a process that builds on itself over time.
I jumped on her Daily Affiliate Checklist program (it’s just $10) because I wanted to incorporate and automate those tasks into my daily routine.
There’s a second productivity tool that I’m addicted to: The Action Machine. There are lots of PLR versions of this floating around out there and you can get one really cheap, but don’t do it. Get the one from the maker that gets updated on a regular basis. It has much more utility and flexibility built into it and it’s still a very low cost.
Action Machine Control panel
Since I began using my Action Machine, my productivity skyrocketed. There’s a little annoying timer that makes me very conscious of whether I’m on task or not and if I’m going to get it done in the time allowed.
This is one of my top 20 tools!
So here’s a resource list for you based on last night’s Live Training.
- Susanne’s Daily Affiliate Tasks program. Check it out.
- Install The Action Machine in your life, add Susanne’s checklists, and get more done.
- Watch Susanne’s live training from last night and download the mp3 and presentation. There’s gold in there.
