How far do you drive to and from work each day? If it is more than 15 minutes, you could be wasting valuable time.
I constantly hear people complain about not having enough time to work their business. Managing a full time job, family responsibilities and running a business is a lot to take on.
If you drive 30 minutes, each way, every day, that is an hour you could be putting to good use. If you have a hands free device, you can use this time to follow up with prospects, touch base with your sponsor or even coach your team members. If you do not have a hands free device, either get one or you can try the speaker phone feature on your phone.
Another great way to utilize the otherwise wasted commute time is to listen to training audios. Many systems provide these audios. For example, the Mentoring For Free system that I use has a site where you can download archived calls. I keep many of them on my MP3 player for just such an occasion.
How do you utilize your commute?
I like it, Bill. The whole idea of paying attention to where your time is going is a valuable lesson to learn indeed...
ReplyDeleteIn fact, there's a short old book about the same topic called "How To Live On 24 Hours A Day." Awesome quick read.
Of course, calling clients while you're on your commute is only good as long as some jerk doesn't cut you off :) "Hi John! This is Bill and I wanted to follow up with you regardi....HEY MOVE IT BUDDY!"
The best way to make the most of your commute is a personal development CD. You have to work twice as hard on you as you do on your business. So why not have that?
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way when you get home you can write an article, blog or do video. Or even visit the forums if you are bad at keyword research. The people in the forums will be happy to learn something from you.
And when you post in the forums each and every day just one or two sentences. Then over time it adds up and then people will want to know what you are up to.
