Schedule for World Cup Success

Title : "Schedule for World Cup Success".Business,Small Business,Internet A lot of people dream of owning their own home-based  business. They dream of setting their own hours,  working when they want to work and with whom.

The first major pitfall that most new home-based  business owners face is a lack of scheduling  discipline. They just don't plan out their work days.
This can cause problems in two ways, under-working and  overworking.

Let's look at the first one, "under-working." It's  very easy to sit at home, on the ol' PC surfing the  web. If you spend all your time working,  you'll soon feel that you're never getting any "down  time," and burnout is sure to follow. You must be very disciplined in  planning your day. Write down what you need to  accomplish every day and how long you will work on each  item. Be sure to include downtime in your plan - time  for your family, relaxation, exercise, whatever.

Your daily plans and goals need to be very specific. How exactly do you  "work on something?" You can "work on" a project for years and  never reach a point where you've had any success.

If you're in a marketing business, try to farm out as  much of the non-marketing related work as you can  afford to do. For example, if you sell products or  services, it might be beneficial for you to hire  someone to help build and maintain your website. If you're still  working your day job, schedule that from the time you  get up in the morning until you get home from work.
Don't forget to include commute time. Then, plan out  your evening accordingly. If  you have huge tasks, break them up as much as possible  and schedule your time accurately.

Don't multi-task.
Schedule only one project at a time. You can work on  more than one project during the day, but you shouldn't  work on more than one project at a time. It's very  difficult, if not totally impossible, to serve to  masters at the same time. Give one project your  undivided attention. Once you've completed that task,  move on to another tasks on that project or to another  project.

You should also be a little flexible in your  scheduling. In any business, there are bound to be  interruption s that you couldn't possibly have planned  for. In home-based businesses, the chance of  distraction goes up exponentially. You'll be working  on that hot new project, only to have the toilet  overflow or a neighbor ring the doorbell. Plan on it. Then, I have other items which are "on  deck."

  Sometimes, no matter how well you plan, you just won't  finish what you schedule. Now, if you find yourself routinely missing  your deadlines, you'll need to reevaluate your  scheduling. Are you being realistic in your time  allotments? With a little planning and a  little effort, you can balance your home life with your  home-based business and literally schedule your way to  success.
