HOW TO FOCUS ON YOUR BUSINESS EVEN HAVING A.D.D.

HOW TO FOCUS ON YOUR BUSINESS EVEN HAVING A.D.D.


You are told that key to achieve any goal is LASER-FOCUS on your actions…. How about if like me, you have Attention Deficit Disorder symptoms ? Ha !


And don’t worry, it’s not just young generations that are concerned.


I’m a « lady-boomer » , full menopaused and closer to my 60 ties than the 50ties…..
Well, if you are not sure what is ADD, give an eye to the definition in Wikipedia.


So, with that A.D.D. gift of the Universe, how do I manage to achieve my goals and laser focus on any thing that I need to focus on ?


I’m giving you here my 5 best tricks , and that I finally selected and that work for me, after I tried for years many …. excuses , in order to feed my A.D.D. symptoms.


Trick # 1 to laser focus : what ever is the action, and how ever it has to last, BREAK UP YOUR TASKS IN SHORT PERIODS OF TIME.


You cannot go against nature : you know that as A.D.D. person you need to be doing things for short time at once, and you need variety :
Organize your work, or your tasks in this way, and don’t try to function on a mode that frustrates your natural behavior.


Instead, use this gift, as I call it now, in the way that it serves you, and master it.


Hint : I say well : ” master ” , not to confuse with ” control “.  As control , when too much forced, ends up with  loss of control. OK ?


Anyway, you cannot control outside things nor people, so master yourself , that’s way enough .


Trick #2 to laser focus : ELIMINATE DISTRACTIONS AROUND YOUR SPACE OF ACTION ,


In other words, declutter your space, your room, your desk, before you start any task in this environement. That will put away from you the temptation to jump too early on another thing to do !


Having a clear and sober desk has helped me a lot to concentrate on only what’s in front of me.
That’s so simple.


But not easy for A.D.D. people, because we strongly tend to live among a certain disorder, even organized.
So that has been first a good exercise of DISCIPLINE to me, make it an habit to start any task in a clear decluttered space.


Trick # 3 to laser focus : PLAN your days . and even your week, on a sheet of PAPER and stick it on your wall or on your desk .

Plan for « A.D.D. action taker » schedule. Once again, use your natural tendancy to your profit :
Diversify your work, use 30 to 50 min maximum chunks of time.


Between each chunk of time, do something relaxing if you are very active like yard cleaning, or something active if you are static like working at your computer.


Always plan for being able to finish a long task on the same day that you started it.
And do it in the same raw of chunks of time , if possible.


Example : a task that takes 3 hours can be divided in 4 parts of 48 min, with 3 breaks of 10 min each.



Writing your daily schedule on a paper is important for you to visualize it first and program it into your subconscious, as well as it helps you to check along the day that you are on the right track with what you do. ADD people need reminders to call them back to what they have to continue on.


Trick # 4 to laser focus USE A TIMER, like a cooking timer, to help you in this « TIME MANAGEMENT » challenge for A.D.D.


First that frees you from surveying the clock .
Second, that may sound stupid, but this is to stop you from going on during a too long period of time , before your efficiency slows down.


Yes, you’ll do it as well,, you want to continue the task and you get less attentive to it and make mistakes. This is natural and it will happen, and it did already !


I swear you, the A.D.D. person can FOCUS efficiently on a single subgect no more than 50 minutes, that’s a rule.


So don’t even try do make it one hour even.
You’ll be wasting 10 minutes… your choice buddies.
Use a timer, select 15, 20, 30 , 40 , 50 minutes runs, not more.


Trick # 5 to laser focus : do at least 5 different things , or do the same thing 5 different ways in a day.

Use your imagination and your creativity, that is a game for ADD person.
That must sound quite obvious to you, but it’s not always the reality : we want to focus one ONE THING AT A TIME, and we want to FINISH what we start the same day. And we want to make that happen not against our nature, but with our abilities.


Never get bored by what you do.


How’s that boomers ?


For those who are NOT ADDs, that is NOT my recommendation, as those ways of scheduling their time won’t fit their abilities, like naturally concentrating on what they do.


So to cultivate the skill of LAZER FOCUS, with your A.D.D. « on » :


make those 5 tricks your habits :


1 = Break up your time, 2= Clear the runway , 3 = have your plan written on paper,
4 = use a timer, 5 = do 5 different things or 5 different ways of doing things at least, in one day.


Do you want to know :  how a young guy who has A.D.D. became millionnaire and successful in less than 3 years in his business ?


You want to know what he did, and learn to reproduce exactly this and make tons of money ?



Just watch this video, watch it , THERE.


PS. You know who I’m speaking about : Dave Wood yes.
And I know he is A.D.D. guy because he told us in some of his presentations. Ha ! you’re proud now, hey ! I am. so A.D.D.s, get all in !


PPS. Guess who asked us in EN to write about Focus ? ……… yes, it’s him. ☺ !


Now watch that video, it’s less than 50 min ! it’s only 23. And it speaks about at least 5 different things! It’s for you! The proof: I’ve A.D.D. and I’m in.

Why and How to Write Your Vision for Your Online Business

Why and How to Write Your Vision for Your Online Business


Have you seen how in only a few years from today,  the internet world and the industry of online business have evolved so fast ?!

Can you see the  explosion in homebased businesses , and that many of them web-based?

When you ask the question to people who want to start their own online business,  their first answer is they want to make money.  And that doesn’t tell the whole story, as we almost all want to make money, don’t you? I do!

But our vision for our online business can be quite different for each one of us.



BE your own Boss, DO your own schedule, HAVE your own office


This is WHY you want to write down your vision for your online business :

You put things on the paper and it starts to « materialise » your ideas, to make them become concrete.

You have that way  a more physical perception of what you are to accomplish, it doesn’t stay just « an idea, a concept ».

Also, you want to know what your personal goals are, and how that vision for your online business fits with those goals.

What are you trying to accomplish?

If people asked themselves this question more often, I think they could be a lot more successful.

Now that you have answered the questions that guide your plans, we can look at :

ideas and concepts...

HOW to write your vision for your online business?

Answer now to those few questions, and write your answers, that will tell your vision and clarify your way to your achievement:

1-   What role does your business play in enabling you to reach your personal goals?

2-    Do you feel that your business is helping you to achieve those goals, and what do you need to change or improve that would make you answer yes to this question?

3-   Are you in control of your business, if not, how to stop being run by your business?

4-   How much money do you want to earn with my online business, and how will you spend it?

5-    How much time do I want realistically spend on my internet business?

Think about all your writen answers, and as a conclusion, enlarge the vision for your online business to a big enough perspective:



America Milk



DREAM BIG.   That is very important.

What is my VISION for my ONLINE BUSINESS?

After I ‘ve played arount online for about 2 years, I was hit by a friend who showed me the Empower Network , just the day of its launching.

That  has been the start for my new vision and new ways as well, of doing things now.

What I am sure about now, is that if you want to make money on the web, your vision for your online business has to start with  getting a blogging platform, and a funnel system. Period!

Empower Network provides this basically to you, for as little as  $25.  And much better than that, Empower Network gave me this vision, my big dream:


My big dream and vision for my online business with Empower network  is to be able to offer something to people that has the ability to make a significant difference in their lives IMMEDIATELY… TODAY, and for a long term .


I have also gained an enormous amount of knowledge by listening to the training provided in the Inner Circle and Costa Rica Mastermind Retreat… training in Empower Network  that has already taken my game to the next level.

This blogging platform and funnel enables me to bring as well members into my main MLM opportunity online, that is a tremendous help for saving time and growing my teams.

That being said, my vision for my online business both with my MLM opportunity and Empower Network  is that in 12 months from now there will be:

** A huge community of people who are earning a full-time residual income online and LOVING every minute of it,

** People who were once struggling to make any money on the internet and will be succeeding….

** People who have lost their traditional jobs will be succeeding…

** People who were already succeeding will be succeeding on a whole new level.

Much of all that is already happening.

And when I think about , my enlarged vision for my online business,  I see it on a much bigger scale.

I love that I get to learn with Empower Network and with my team in my MLM company that my vision has to be big enough to contain the vision of all my team people, and lead them to accomplish what they decide to.

I’m proud to be a part of such an amazing community of highly conscious people who are up to big things in the world.


If you want to get a better idea of the vision for the Empower Network,head over to the corporate blog now for this fresh post.

If you’re ready to join our team and experience the Empower Network for yourself, you can do that here.



Please let me know what you think. What are your goals for your online endeavour?

HOW TO STOP PROCRASTINATION FOR GOOD!

HOW TO STOP PROCRASTINATION WITH YOUR EMPOWER NETWORK BUSINESS


Do you feel like a mouse in the wheel?


running around and around and around and around?

and still in the same place by the end of the run ?


I’ve been feeling so recently, when I hit that video below , that showed me what was my issue :
For any reason, this past week, I decided to « go with the flow » , and not fight the obstacles that where showing up one after each other :


I decided to STOP PROCRASTINATION.

You’ll understand what I mean when you see that so hilarious video, . Then I’ll tell you what I did……


If you recognize yourself , even for a 2 % of it, in this video about how to stop procrastination, then you are in big trouble already in your Empower Network business!

Why ?

Because the key to your success with Empower Network is Consistency, Daily Action.
Because non stop procrastination is the more powerful killer attitude , killer of dreams.

I love my new power with Empower Network :-)

so what did I do in order to stop this procrastination ?

I did 4 very simple things :


First :
I RECOGNIZED that I was falling into the trap of constant, non stop procrastination, looking back at myself with objectivity = no excuses,
and finding out what was the reason why I would neglect my own decisions to succeed with Empower Network.


Why do we do things that go against ourselves ? Find the reasons and you get your solutions !
For me, that week, it was mainly because of the fear that I would not be appreciated by people, if I dare to say too many « no’s « to their kind sollicitations.

Result was : a real plan to stop procrastination, so that I leave people and things distract me for their profit….

Second :

after I recognize my attitude, I MADE THE DECISION to do ALL the necessary actions ,
in order to change this attitude that entails not only the means to stop procrastination, but also many hard consequences that I cannot afford…..


For example : loosing prospects by not doing blogging and marketing daily, loosing money, loosing self-confidence and feeling bad and worse for all that……yack yack yack !

Doesn’t this seem too expensive really, when you think that people love you for who you are, more than for what you do ? hey,
Hello !

Third :

then I took a sheet a sheet of paper, a red thick ball pen, and draw a big cross on the word written in black : procrastination.

Under that, I LISTED ALL THE ACTIONS that I need to take today to stop procrastination, kill it, beat it, shoot it, squeeze it, eliminate it, atomise it, smurph it …..you git it. and put a check mark in front of each thing in the list,
AND allowed my self to do anything else ONLY when all the things are checked.

I love my lists

On my list were, among others actions :

- stick on my wall a beautiful sign, saying in beautiful letters :
« Today, I am doing WHAT EVER IT TAKES to REACH MY GOALS WITH MY EMPOWER NETWORK BUSINESS. »

- make some enlarged copies of the pictures representing my WHY’s to improve my dream board.

- start a tracking chart, on my agenda, for my daily results, in terms of leads acquired, and of numbers of sales.

- Change my DMO into an easier schedule in order to implement it 100% , banishing all elements that prevent my effort to stop procrastination.

And others actions inspired by those lessons .

Remember : You want to change NOT WHAT you do, but HOW you do it.

Fourth :
I TAKE ACTION, IMPLEMENT all my changes, SCREW IT , DO IT !


Love surfing!

And stay vigilant to finish each action started, before I start an other one.
That is as well very efficient to stop procrastination definitely.
Does this help you ? If YES, my goal for this post is reach ! Thanks !

So remember :
1- RECOGNIZE, aknowledge you’re in the procrastination mode,

2- DECIDE that you are changing this TODAY. And what will replace that mode.

3- WRITE A LIST OF ALL THE ACTIONS that you are going to take in order to realize this change.

4- SCREW –IT-DO-IT !

and eventually ,
5 – leave me a comment here, tell me if you used this method to stop procrastination or other bad habit and how it helped you,.
Tell me if your problem was bigger than that, and if you need more information still, more ideas…..not only regarding procrastination, but any other topic that causes you issues.



PS. You can also look at on this page what I concretly use as my system, implementing my DMO Daily method of Operations..

PPS . You have also tons of value in the courses and series that you’ll find inside this system, plus you’ll monetize them with 100% commissions.

PPS . Isn’t it time to implement all that above, and JOIN now ?
Stop Procrastination, and start now your be your best self with Empower Network !

VIDEO-TIP SERIES # 19 : How to Make your Marketing Business Well Organized in Easy, Simple and Effective Way.

Many of you still ask me those days how I do manage my time with those 50 + things to do every day, and not be overwhelmed.

I wrote an article some time ago about stop being overwhelmed in a marketing business. So I refer you to it first.
Then, I found a very simple « stupid » worksheet to work with, that works ! if you use it of course.


-


That will help you to decide and implement how to :
1. Set an amount of time you have each day to dedicate to growing your business.
2. Choose 3 primary marketing methods
3. Use the “time-management” Guidelines below for how much time you spend on which actions.
4. Print out this chart
5. Fill out this chart and put it next to your computer in your office.
6. Check off each day.


Time Management Guidelines:

Action 1: 40% Driving Traffic / Generating Leads / Primary Marketing Methods

Action 2: 30% Converting Leads into Sales / Following Up / Up-selling

Action 3: 10% Educating Yourself (business and self-development)

Action 4: 10% Building your Brand – Social Media / Content / Blog

Action 5: 10% Misc – Checking Email / Misc Business Tasks

Many ask as well, where to start with those actions , and succeed to achieve all those that we write?
Well, an other simple and basic method is always start with a list:

You have here the list of your 5 actions, so fill the chart with the list of tasks that have to be done for each action, quote each task by order of importance. So when the timing assigned to each action is off, you are sure that the more important things have been accomplished.

Once your marketing business begins to grow, or if you have available resources, you would be very wise to outsource some of these tasks.

Here is the chart:


I report each week the implementing of it on my agenda.  So I can accord it with the schedule for my calls, webinars and trainings.

Now, if you want to really simplify your marketing organization, with the lowest budget possible, and the highest value of services that you NEED for your strategies, start HERE.

Time is money, use both wisely.


VIDEO TIP SERIES #16 : Clarity about What is a Business

Aloha !!

I wanted to speak today about leadership, and I feel that before, it’s best to bring clarity about what is a business, either online, internet business, or off-line. brick and mortar business.

The first question I always ask to my students  when they want to take action on something is : what’s the purpose of this ?


-

That is my always starting point : what’s the purpose of a business :

People say most of the time : to make profit. I say NO.

Make that clear in your mind : the purpose of a business is to create and keep a customer, and THEN the profit comes from doing that in a cost-efficient way. Make a profit is the RESULT of creating and keeping customers.


So now, what is the measure of success of the business ?

It is the customer’s satisfaction.

And what is the measure of customer satisfaction ?

It’s repeat-business.


And last question is : what is the highest level of business success in terms of satisfying customers ?

It is that those customers recommend you to others people.

All businesses are « people-business » , relationships based.


So in one phrase, have that clear :

Everything that you do in business is

1- to be aimed at creating and keeping customers,

2-satisfying them so much that they come again and again,

3- AND they bring their friends.

Now, how do you do business ? You have first to be a leader, and do what a leader does : take responsibilities.


And come back here tomorrow for learning what are those critical things that leaders do. Once again, where ever is your business : online or offline !

If you can’t wait tomorrow, visit my business site, and you’ll discover how being a leader, I work responsibly and lead my teams to success, as a professional marketer.

How to Make Change in Your Life

When it comes to make a change in your life, there is a saying that rings so true to any sensitive brain: “What Ever You Focus On – You Will Attract In Your Life”.






This is the introduction to an e-mail that a member of my business and mastermind team is sending to his patients-customers. I found it so true and simple and valuable that I want to share it here with you: thank you to Dr. Kyle Gilmour.



Whether physical, emotional, professional or personal – focus is a key part of state management. (Simply said, state management controls how we perceive and react to any situation).



In order to change focus and manage your state, there must be daily rituals.



Here are 4 of my TOP FAVORITE RITUALS that have helped transform my life, starting with my day:



1.  Exercise. Everybody knows that exercise stimulates the release of “feel good” chemicals such as endorphins. Exercise relaxes the body and reduces stress allowing you to clearly focus on that which you want to achieve.



2.  Nutrition. Start the day off with a  protein shake after your workout, a fish oil supplement and a healthy breakfast which includes fruits, fresh juices and fiber.



3. Threshold Rules. I learned from Tony Robbins years ago – you must create a “personal code of conduct” or” guidelines” on how you would want conduct your life. These threshold rules allow me to avoid vices and focus on my virtues. These would include guidelines on nutrition, exercise, drinking habits, personal development, family time vs. work balance etc.



4.  Positive Mindset. I start every day with 10-15 minutes of morning meditation – to manifest that which I want in my day. Never allow anything negative – such as news, people, or events to influence your emotional state. I’m a firm believer that “he who controls his emotional state over people and events…WINS”.



To this 4 advices, here is a reply by another team member of our mastermind:



Marc Drizin:
Kyle, my friend, mentor, and fellow author Matthew Kelly talks about the need to balance four things to achieve The Rhythm of Life. I’ve switched the order, and use the acronym PIES: Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Spiritual. Matthew talks about the “classroom of silence”, I create that classroom by walking my dog(s) first thing in the morning (usually at 6 am), or as I did this morning, exercising. This takes care of my spiritual balance, and handles most of the physical as well. Intellectual I get from my Plan A work, like the workshop I just gave to 250 folks here in Indiana, and surprisingly for me, one of the hidden benefits of WV and this team. Emotional balance is discovered as we come to grips with our past, while living in the present and dreaming about the future. I love yours, and would like to use them in future workshops and speeches…




You can see here not only good information, but also an example of the chats that our team has daily on Skype with this “Global Game Changer Mastermind ” whose leader is Eric Allen.
Have a taste of what is my business about and how, watching Eric’s short and fun video:

7 Reasons Not to Have a J.O.B./Part one.

1. Having a Job is Way too Risky!!!!!!!



When you have a J.O.B. (JUST OVER BROKE), someone can take away your income just by uttering two words: “You’re Fired.” This is happening more and more as companies crumble in the face of global changes in commerce. Those 2 words do not exist in your own business.

If you ask me, there’s nothing secure about that. Especially for older citizens who find it difficult or next to impossible to get hired due to age or health related problems that limit the type of work they can do.

When you enjoy your own business, and a client or customer moves on – then guess what? You get to say, “Next!”





2. No Bonus Pay for Messing Up


When you mess up at your job, you get punished, maybe even a pay-cut. Then you have to run around “making nice” to the people who might lay you off or promote someone else who’s younger and “hungry.” (Hungry for what? More time at the office?)

When one of my clients faces challenges in her business, I cheer. She’s getting paid to learn! Every mistake teaches her more about how to succeed.

Instead of getting an MBA – she’s getting a TBF. (Trial by Fire! :-) ) TBF’s can really pay-off!

On my own, but not alone, in my office, my own business

On my own, but not alone, in my office, my own business




3. Your Ceiling isn’t Adjustable.



Often, I think about how hard I worked in my other life….ahem…corporate jobs. I’ve always been the type to give more than I get….work more hours than I get paid for…take work home for goodness sakes. Bet you know what I’m talking about. But, no matter how much more I gave…or how expert I became….once I reached the top salary of that particular billet….I couldn’t make more.

When I talk to new clients now about the possibilities being endless in owning their own business, their eyes light up. They stop thinking in terms of “hours for dollars,” and start thinking of passive income. (Hey, why not get paid while you sleep?)

In a job, you can’t adjust your income based on the value you provide. Instead you have to ask for a raise. Not fun, doesn’t always work and if you don’t get the raise…it affects your self-esteem.

Give yourself a raise anytime you want ….on a daily basis….by simply being who you are and sharing with others.
