Business Mistakes We All Make and How to Stop

Isn’t it funny how we get off track just a little and it’s so hard to get back on track? The same goes with a lot of things doesn’t it? Like our health, eating right and exercising. We can be so motivated and working hard toward our goals and then life happens. And we have the hardest time getting back on track. It also happens in our businesses and other things we do.

The only way to keep that from happening is through commitment and consistency. But how do you push through a slump in your business? You know what I mean? A slump, where you just don’t want to do the work, you maybe have lost motivation, you are not being as consistent as you should be, you may be procrastinating, and you are letting distractions pull you in every direction. A slump.

I wanted to give you 3 easy things to really keep you on track or get you back on track in your business. These are things that have helped me when I have gotten off track, like these last few weeks.

  1. Daily to-do list. You need to write down your business priorities in order of importance. Putting it on paper is important. Write out your daily, weekly and monthly goals along with what you need to do each day to hit them. Whether that is to prospect 10 people a day on Facebook, or call 10 people a day, or send out daily email to your list, whatever income producing activities you need to do for your business, write them down in order of importance. This does not include scrolling Facebook or organizing your desk. Income producing activities.
  2. Set business hours. You have a home business. It should be treated the same way a traditional business is. Every professional business has business hours right? So set hours for your business and then whatever you wrote down on your priority list from number 1, do those things during those times.
  3. Personal Development. This has changed my thinking in so many ways. We are surrounded by so much negativity in life. We have to put things in our minds that change how we think and how we live. If we want to be successful and live a positive, happy life, we need to put positive in our minds. We have all heard garbage in, garbage out. What we put into our minds comes back out into our lives. So make sure you are filling your minds with positive things every day. Read or listen to some type of personal development daily.

There are many ways to manage your time effectively and to get your motivation back if you’ve lost it. But these are my go-to’s that help me. So, write down your to-do list, set your hours and listen or read personal development daily.

This will help your home business grow and you will see greater success using these steps.

How Interact Quizzes Can Help Build Your Brand

How many times have you been on Facebook and saw a quiz?

It may have been a quiz about “What Spirit Animal Are You?” or maybe “What Female Celebrity Would You Be?” or maybe “Do You Have What It Takes to Succeed In Network Marketing?”. There is a quiz for everything it seems. And people love them.

Now, let’s get honest. How many times have you personally taken a quiz on social media? And why did you take the quiz? Because they’re fun right?

When I was first approached by Interact about becoming a partner, I was seriously unsure if I wanted to, mainly because I had never heard of quizzes for marketing. However, after we had our first video call, I knew there was something to this quiz thing. Then, I began researching a bit and discovered that quizzes are a fantastic way to generate leads and build my list. Many marketers are already building their email list using this quiz platform. So at that point, I was in.

Quizzes are the latest in online marketing and can help you build your email list quickly by allowing you to integrate your email marketing service into the quiz. I personally use Aweber. In this first video, I show you just a little about the company I recently partnered with, Interact , and how to create a quiz quickly using a quiz template that is provided.

Interact is an excellent way to build quizzes quickly with many pre-made quiz templates to choose from. Whether you want to do a quiz about travel, career, blogging, health and fitness, etc., there are quiz templates there and waiting for you to tweak to fit you.

Here is a quick screen share video I did about an essential oil quiz I created just a few days ago and I already have 24 leads as of today. You can also take the quiz at the bottom of this post if you want.

I am working on a new quiz that I plan to send out to all social media sites by Monday. I am excited about the possibilities this has to offer. I am grateful to have found Interact and am excited for the ways it will help grow my business this year.

If you want to try out Interact for yourself, you can get started HERE. There is a no cost option, but if you are a serious entrepreneur ready to build your list faster, you at least need to try out the Lite option.

Who You Become On The Way To Success

Is it really true that who you become on the way to success is more important than the money you make? Actually, yes, very true. I used to think this was crazy. I just wanted to make money in business and have that time and money freedom. I thought it was silly to think me changing would change my successes.

Who you become on the way to success really is more important than the money you make. Now, you may disagree. And that’s OK because so did I.

But something I’ve come to realize and believe is that real success in life requires a mindset shift. If we truly want things to change, we have to change. And change is a choice. We can choose to complain, blame, gossip, judge and control. We can also choose to love and accept instead.

Industry trainer, and one of my business mentors over the last 9 years,  Dani Johnson says Income Follows Your Personal Growth. And for years I had heard her say that, but I was not sure if I believed it. I didn’t really work on me as much as I should have. Honestly I didn’t really want to work on me. I continued to judge, blame, gossip, try to control, and much more. And I was darn comfortable there in that place. Now, I am not saying I never do those things now, I am just saying I am a work in progress and as I change, so do my successes in life and business.

I am learning to be a better version of me. I am learning that a comfort zone is a dead zone. I am learning to love and accept others as they are and I am working on me every day. It really is life changing.  I have new goals, new dreams and new vision.

I have more hope, peace, love and joy. And it’s because I decided to take personal responsibility for where my life has been in the past and where I want it to go. Those are all choices we make.

It took me a long time to realize this. And to really start working on me. Success isn’t what you do or what you get, it’s who you become.

The late great Jim Rohn said this. “If you want to have more, you have to become more. Success is not something you pursue. What you pursue will elude you. Success is something you attract by the person you become. For things to improve, you have to improve. For things to get better, you have to get better. For things to change, you have to change. When you change, everything changes for you.”

So, my advice is to work on you. Working on me has been more rewarding than the business success. I am more confident, more compassionate, more sincere, and growing into the best version of me. I am not where I want to be yet, but I am so much closer than I was a year ago, even yesterday. I’m becoming more than what I was. So can you!

Work harder on yourself than you do your business and you will be unusually successful in all things.

To your success,
