Beat the Blues in Your Internet Business
Remember those days when we used to have to get up to go to work, and ever Monday morning following after a great weekend we’d struggle to pull that tired old body up from under the covers and into the office or the factory or wherever it was that someone else was paying you to be?
Are you still there (maybe)?
I remember those days and if I remember correctly I could accurately say “they sucked”! You know, it’s been nearly 15 years since I’ve had to *do that* for someone else; it’s what you would call “living the dream baby.”
The thing is, whilst the problem may be different, for many of us Monday Mornings are still the same – we just don’t start the week the way we want to.
So here’s what I’m doing this Monday morning; from it, I hope that you will glean some ideas of you can connect better with your business (your “people”) and build a better income for yourself.
I started the day off with some light exercise. I never get into it too heavy in the mornings simply because this old body ain’t what it used to be – but I understand a fit body builds a fit mind. The better shape my body is in day by day the better shape my mind is in and the better decisions I can make, products I can create and so on. It’s a great way to start every day.
Next I sit down in my “thinking chair” (my old comfy lounge recliner) and pull out a new copy of my custom weekly “to-do” list.
** I created my own custom one because I found that none of the plug and play templates seemed to have everything that I wanted for the running of an internet business.
But now, sitting in my chair I review last weeks’ checklist and see if anything needs to be carried over. Then slowly, between measured sips of my morning brew I start to design my action list for the coming 5 days.
At the top of my list is a place for “Consulting / Coaching Clients”. I have special place for these people as I am working with them directly; I create action plans for them and they go and do. If I say I’m going to *do* something for them I sure as hell don’t want to forget – so at the top of my action plan for consulting / coaching is **check follow up list **.
Here’s the thing... I have a great client management program on my computer. It handles details on prospecting, follow ups, action plans record keeping and so on. But truth is, no matter how darn wonderful the program is, it doesn’t do squat if I don’t “turn it on” and open it up! First thing on my “list” each and every day is to OPEN my follow up action planner...
