How to Focus Your Time and Efforts Into MLM Success Instantly

All of you have heard the term "ready, fire, aim", referring to when people don’t plan enough before they pull the trigger on a project. However, the less-publicized cousin of that phrase is "ready aim, ready aim, ready aim, aim some more, fire!" You can probably guess that phrase means that sometimes we can spend WAY too much time working on a project before it’s good to go.



This can be disastrous for a network marketer and let me explain why. Look at everything that master marketers have in place. They have blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, capture pages, sales pages, autoresponder emails, articles, Squidoo pages, Hubpages, Myspace, ads, Pay-Per-Click campaigns, and probably some products like an ebook or video series. More than likely even more stuff than that. If they were to spend a lot of time on each of these projects, they never would have finished all of them.



A great example is a blog. Network marketers think that a blog is a reflection of who they are. I’ve seen people spend weeks and weeks setting up their blog and still aren’t driving traffic to it. There is just too much stuff to get done and put in place to spend that much time without having results to show. Your personality will show through in the content of your blog. If your blog has a post or two on it, send traffic! Besides, it’s not like the day it goes "live", you’ll have 100,000 visitors at your blog.



Obviously I’m not saying to put out shoddy work, but every last detail doesn’t have to be in place before people start to see it.



The hardest part is to find that fine line in between "ready, fire, aim" and "ready aim, ready aim, ready aim, fire". My advice to you is that if tweaking your projects infringes on your lead-producing time, quit tweaking and get back to the important stuff. For example, not having your blog on the web is costing you leads, so work fast and get up a few posts. Once it’s up, then you can tweak as you go along. I understand for something like an ebook, you can’t just send it out and then recall it later for tweaks. However, if you’ve spent two weeks editing it, leave it alone! You probably aren’t making it any better anyway and now you’re just wasting your time.



You don’t have to read every training course or watch every video series on the internet before you start marketing online. If you’ve watched one training course on Facebook, get started on it! The best way to learn is actually doing it. I’ve worked with people (or at least tried to!) that have wanted to read every single thing and watch every single video before they can get to work. One person in particular was especially bad at this. She was getting a video series where one video came a day. I tried to get her to get started on some things, but she refused to do anything until this training was done. This person will NEVER be done with training, because there is always more. By all means, do as much training as possible, but don’t let it cut into more important stuff like generating leads.



My challenge to you is that if you are guilty of aiming too long before you fire, that you need to first allot yourself time to do things that will produce leads. If you are tweaking your blog or editing your ebook all day, you aren’t actually doing anything that will produce leads. Get some good content out there, but be satisfied to not adjust it a billion times trying to make it better when it is just fine the way it is.
