It’s true- you can turn 11 hours a week into an extra $1000.00 a month! By setting up your office and planning out your time you acheive efficiency! I recommend setting up office hours when you work from home . By setting those boundaries you will focus on your work during the designated times and not get distracted by social phone calls, social media, the laundry etc.

Eleven hours a week can be broken down into- 2 home parties a week (3 hours per party- which totals 6 hours a week) and 1 hour a day ( 30 minutes of personal business contacts and 30 minutes of office work)

How do you know when you have achieved success in your direct sales business?  Is it a certain dollar amount?  Is it a certain position within your organization?  Is it the fancy car you drive or the enormous house you can now afford? How do you get to this success?

The definition for success is different for each individul. A methodical and logical way to acheive this success is attained by setting goals and having a clear vision. Learning to set goals takes practice and a strong focus.  It’s like going to Weight Watchers and having set that weight goal and planning each step as to how to get to your desired weight.  With practice, focus and support you can acheive your goal and the more you do it the easier and better you get at doing it. By creating a good habit you will see positive results and your behavior will likely repeat itself.

It feels good to accomplish all that you can today because you never know what will come up tomorrow- especially with kids! Setting reasonable goals and finishing your tasks will give you a great sense of acheivement.
