What Will Your Headstone Say

As spooky as it may sound, we all know the inevitable will happen… So, what will your headstone say on it? Will it say “Known to the world as a giver” or “Put text here”.

What if you had the ability to leave a long lasting impression for the world to come and learn about? You can, and fortunately it requires you to act today.

Are you not acting today in your network marketing business? Are you fighting procrastination? I’ll be honest with you, I wasn’t going to write this post as I felt old man procrastination was creeping up. That’s when I said, “Come on, if I avoid doing what I really love just because of an excuse, then I must be crazy.” Well… as you can already tell, because you’re reading this, is I just decided to do it.

I figured jeopardizing my readers and what I truly like to do wasn’t worth it.

Can you honestly say the same thing about anything in particular that you do today within your network marketing company? I’m sure you can think of one or two things. I hope you said a few, if you didn’t, maybe, just maybe you should consider if this business is for you.

Alright…so, if you’re wondering how do you get in this state of mind, I’m going to share some easy to use tips to get you more involved in network marketing and enjoying it.

If you are reluctant with doing something for your business, ask yourself why. Perhaps you’re feeling tired or overwhelmed. Whatever it is, if it’s a good reason, then do yourself and take the break. HOWEVER, if it’s because you want to watch that TV show or whatever excuse you have, then perhaps that TV show or your excuse can wait. Besides, how is that TV show going to move you forward. It’s not! You can always watch it afterwards by TIVOing it.

Here’s what I do to ensure I get my tasks done for the day…

1. Start off the day with a little meditation to clear my mind of the junk.
2. Eat a healthy balance meal. This gets my brain ready for the day.
3. Do the thing I dislike the most first, moving onto the next thing I dislike and leave the fun stuff to last.
4. Take 5-10 minute breaks per hour to clear your mind and refocus.
5. Read some inspiring material. This will help you get great ideas for your home business.
6. Get in 30 minutes to 1 hour of physical activity. Walking counts too if you’re not a work-out person. This will allow you think in peace and also allows your brain to expand as you get energized from the physical activity.

By the way, the above takes me about 4-5 hours to do. So by the middle of the day, I’ve gotten all of my tasks done and can either call it a day or do more. Most of the time for me it means more, but that’s your call. One huge benefit to working at home.

You see, by doing all of the above things and some, I know what my headstone will say because each of those tasks are helping me be a sharper business person and teach others the same.

Here’s my headstone will read, “Most genuine man, father and person. He made a difference in people’s lives.”

Think about what your headstone will say, if you can’t think of anything, then consider that a wake up call and to get moving.
