Manage Your Time and Your Future

The website LifeHacker recently posted on a concept that can be very helpful to managing your time and increasing productivity, the concept is: the focus and ignore lists. The website explains that these two lists can help you narrow down what you should spend your time on each and every day. Read the excerpt below, answer the questions and make your own focus and ignore lists to better manage your time and grow your business.

 LifeHacker:

 List 1: Your Focus List (the road ahead)

What are you trying to achieve? What makes you happy? What’s important to you? Design your time around those things. Because time is your one limited resource and no matter how hard you try you can’t work 25/8.

 List 2: Your Ignore List (the distractions)

To succeed in using your time wisely, you have to ask the equally important but often avoided complementary questions: what are you willing not to achieve? What doesn’t make you happy? What’s not important to you? What gets in the way?

 

Have you created these lists before? What is your biggest focus each day? What do you work hard to ignore?

What Beginners Need to Know about Affiliate Marketing

GDI Does Much of the Marketing for You…

…but you need to put in work too. If you’ve watched the 7 Minute Movie or chatted with other GDI affiliates, you know that GDI does most of the work for you. If you want, you can be completely hands off in your marketing, allowing the Inviter, GDI 7 Minute Movie and replicated site do the work for you. But to reach the Leaderboard and consistently add new signups, you need to put in extra work. This can mean creating your own videos, taking advantage of SiteBuilder or WordPress to customize your site or networking through social media. For part time income, you can work with GDI part time, but to really increase your level of income, you need to go the extra mile.

 You Can Create Income by Building a Network…

…and stepping outside of your comfort zone. You need to step a bit out of your comfort zone to build new networks and get connected with others. Reach out to old coworkers, local small business owners and entrepreneurs. They might be interested in GDI and they might put you in contact with people in their network. Don’t leave GDI just because mom and dad don’t want to sign up, branch out and tap into huge numbers of people.

GDI Can Benefit Anyone…

…but not everyone will be interested. GDI is a versatile opportunity whether someone is interested in generating extra income or securing a domain. While GDI can benefit many different types or people, some people will simply not be interested. It is important to know who is truly interested and who is wasting your time. Try to build your team with those people who have a genuine interest, not those who are signing up only to disappear in a month.

GDI Offers Many Sources of Support…

…but your sponsor should be #1. Reach out to your upline. GDI offers many resources for your questions including our support team, social media sites, and forums, but your upline should be your first life line. Your upline has more experience in GDI than you and can answer your questions. Reach out to them when you’re just starting out for advice and help, after all, they brought you onto GDI, it’s their duty to help you.
