Can You Make A Fortune Network Marketing

By Rosie Cottis

So will you ever make a fortune network marketing? Some people really do get rich, while others are happy just to be able to take a vacation when they want. Whatever you want from your home business you have to train yourself to focus.

Running a successful work at home business is the dream for thousands of people today. Whether you want to spend more time with the kids, make a few bucks while you're home anyway, fire your boss, or simply stop wasting time in the daily commute, a network marketing internet business can be the top work at home plan.

However, it is not as easy as some marketers want you to think. Pick up a copy of Ann Sieg's free report The 7 Lies Of Network Marketing to find out. The drop out rate in MLM or network marketing businesses is huge. Around 90% of new recruits will fail. This gives MLM a bad reputation. But did you know that the dropout rate for any other type of self employment work from home is just as high?

It's not MLM that is the problem. It is hard running any kind of home business. And the main difficulty that most people have can be summed up in one word:

Focus.

Distractions, interruptions, lack of motivation, spending too much time on unproductive tasks ... working from home with no boss hanging over us, we all suffer from some if not all of these issues. They all lead to time wasting and lack of focus, which means less money coming in.

The worst thing we can do is hop from one task to another during the day. Every time we change our focus to a new task, we waste time getting into the 'zone' of the new task. Recent research suggests that it can take as much as 20 minutes to get completely into the zone of whatever we are doing. Only then are we really focused on the task and able to work most effectively.

Yes, have plenty of breaks. Take 10 minutes to stretch, relax, fetch a glass of water. But do not watch TV or pick up a magazine. Take a notebook so you can write down ideas that come to you during your break.

Set your working hours and stick to them, without interruptions or distractions. Focus on your top priority for the day, and do not start any other work until it is finished. Or for longer projects, set aside a certain number of hours each day to it, and catch up with your email, calls etc in the rest of the time. But however you do it, hold on to your focus through all of your working hours. - 15790
