• How to Manage Your Time & Internet Business

    This Article is based on Eben Pagan’s WakeUpProductive Video. Below is a summary of what he talks about along with some changes that I apply during my own routines. Readers are encouraged to leave comments and feedbacks on their views and how/if they find it of value.

    The 4 Tools of a Successful Life:

    1, Clean Focus :

    • Make your focus clean, in other words when you are working on something be completely uninterrupted. No phone calls, no email checking, no other forms of interruption.
    • Make it in Chunks of 2 hours minimum.

    2. Clean Break :

    • After a session of Clean Focus on a topic. Give yourself a 30 minute clean break. A Clean break is a break where you free yourself from all the thoughts and completely detach yourself. This is important and necessary to rejuvinate yourself and prepare you for the next session. Remember in school the lessons right after the breaks were always easier?

    3. Create Routines:

    • Create a routine for your week on what you will be doing. But try to put the same things at the same times. Eg if you plan to work on traffic building at 9am then do that at 9am every day.

    4. Renew Yourself:

    • This is an important part.  Give yourself a few days break from your routine and tasks every now and then. Ideally keep your weekend free and work during your weekend on the routine. If you are doing your internet business during evenings and weekends outside your work then give the same ratio of 2:5 and give yourself a break for that portio. So for instance if your total time available is 4 hours an eveing x 5 + 10 hours x 2 for weekend (total 40 hours) then give yourself a break of 12 hours to renew yourself. So mabe do a shorter session on the saturday and keep sunday free, or keep sunday free and do 2 hours on Monday. This is like a longer break where you do other things you enjoy, go and visit some friends, families, go hiking, play some games, you are allowed to waste this time in any way your mind pleases.

    4 Pillars of Focus:

    Now we will discuss the 4 Pillars that makes up the focused time you have.

    1. Customer Pillar: This is the pillar where you focus on bringing in customers to your business. Examples are as follows -

    • Traffic Building Online
    • Meeting People
    • Meeting potential partners who can bring in traffic.

    Time: 40% of your time. So if you are doing 10 hours a day, you would spend 4 hours on this pillar.

    2. Conversion Pillar: This is where you work on what you need to do when a person gets to your site that will motivate them to convert and be interested in taking part. Examples can be working on your headline, story, price guarantee etc.

    Time: 20%.

    3. Content Pillar: This focuses on the content of your site. What Products and services you will be offering. Creating them. Etc.

    Time: 10%.

    4. Management Pillar:

    • Time Management - Work on how you will manage your time.
    • People Management - How you manage the people around you, allocating them tasks, etc.
    • Business Managemet - working on your overall business strategy and managing.

    Time: 30% (10% on each of the above)

    Morning Routine:

    As well as the routines we discussed above how you start your day is an important concept and part of your daily routine. If you make a good start rest is likely to follow in similar fashion. So here is the approach I use for the first hour and a half of my day (you can of course reduce it in right proportion if you dont want to spend 1.5 hours startup time).

    • Drink Half a litre of Fresh Water.
    • Exercise - 35 Mins - 10 Mins on CV, 15 Mins on Weights, 10 Mins on Stretching. The exercise activates all the cells in your body, then whatever you do, you can do with a lot of energy.
    • Meditation - 30 Mins - I will discuss more on what you can put in during your meditation. But for now use any form of meditation that you are already using.
    • Meal - Have a really healthy Meal, this is going to be the best meal of your day.
    • Read - 10/15 Mins - Read an inspirational book for 10/15 minutes.

    If you follow a routine Jam Packed with elements of various levels like above, you are GUARANTEED to have a day that is much more different and enhanced.

    Feel free to leave any feedback and comments on how you implement it in your daily life and whether you were able to benefit from this.
