Wow, there as so many amazing marketing strategies for network marketers and party plan consultants. Do you choose the traditional school, creating a list of 100 and calling, calling, calling? Do you attend every networking event you can find, meet new people, form new relationships, meet for coffee and build connections? Do you blast yourself all over the internet? Linked In, Facebook, Twitter, Pay Per Click, Ezines, You Tube and more? So many amazing options and so much to learn!!! So much time to spend! How do I choose? Where are the results?
I recently found myself swirling in all the choices. I had heard that a Social Media Strategy is important, so off I went, signing up for webinars galore. I learned a bit about Facebook, a lot about creating Traffic, a little about copy writing, ignored the whole Twitter thing, created a blog of sorts, wrote a few articles for Linked In. Followed up my connections until I got stuck figuring out all about Skype. I met some cool people on the way as I spent 12-15 hours a day posting, reading and learning new technology. I espoused the dream of the amazing network marketer’s life style. Why wasn’t the money flowing?
I have been in this industry a long time; I knew the answer was about time management and building on my gifts. I tried writing down my top five things to do each day. I set a timer and attempted to work in blocks of time. I set goals for each area of my life and business. I still kept swirling. I had a hunch I had taken on too many priorities, yet I was unable to decide which one to let go. I had chosen to dive in head first and couldn’t stand on the outside to see what was happening.
It might interest you to know that I am a professional business coach. As I was swirling in my pond, I was having great success helping others find clarity in their own. It suddenly dawned on me, I need a coach! I chose to connect with two different coaches, one who is a certified business coach and one who coaches people in attraction marketing. After two 30 minute calls, I had clarity and was ready to dive in! A coach can look from the outside and help you pull out what is the most important. A coach believes you can achieve your dreams. A true coach is someone who empowers their clients to tap into their own potential and achieve positive change. My business coach helped to set boundaries around the amount of time I wanted to commit to each of my businesses. My attraction marketing coach helped me to sift through all the internet marketing options and focus on two. I am excited about my new plan, my daily work schedule and my writer’s block has ended!!!
How do you decide where to focus your precious time? What marketing strategies work for you?
