You need to act persistently to stay successful in home business. High productivity always needs us to develop some essential skills. Here are 5 things that you can do to guarantee success in your home business.
1. Be clear about your goals: One of the major reasons for procrastination is lack of clarity. If you are not sure of what you are doing and what you need to do next, you will never have the motivation required to keep you going. Therefore, always specifically write down your goals.
2. Start a day with a plan: Once you are set with your goals, you need to break it into concrete action plans for every step. Give a start with your primary goal and draft the goals you need to accomplish over the year. Then, break down the tasks for the next few months, next few weeks and the next few days.
3. Follow the 80/20 rule: We are all aware that 20% of our actions count for 80% of our results. Analyse your activities and settle on the top 20% of them. Once this is done, firmly commit yourself to accomplish these priority tasks before doing others. Never dump yourself with low priority tasks before the most important ones.
4. What will be the result? Clearly examine every task that lies before you and ask the question, “What will happen if I do this today?” and “What will happen if I don’t do this today?” Compare this with the goal in your mind before deciding the course that you will adopt during the day.
5. Follow the ABC method: List out your tasks and mark ‘A’ against those tasks which if not done will result in serious consequences. ‘B’ tasks are those that are important but there are lesser consequences if you don’t do them. ‘C tasks are those that you would like to do, but there are no consequences if you don’t do them. Now, complete the tasks marked as ‘A’ before ‘B’ and move ahead with those marked ‘C’.
