The Working Routine Makes you Seen

Lately I have been working on my side businesses a lot more and I have discovered the importance of a “working routine/schedule”.  

Here’s a few tips:

1. Get dressed. Believe it or not getting dressed and brushing your teeth and hair can make you more productive. You don’t need to wear business attire, but working in clothes other the PJ’s can make you more focused.
2. Schedule a time you start your business and keep too it. Schedule it in your daily to do list.
3. Inform family and friends of your scheduled time for your job so you have minimal disturbances.
4. Schedule your “ coffee breaks” and set a specific time to it (10 to 20 min)….and stick to it.
5. Keep the distractions to a minimal. Music can help but try and avoid t.v/netfilx or anything that may visually distracting in the background.
6. Set your cell phone to an emergency ring only and set important contacts to a specific text sound, it helps ignore the unimportant texts.

Treat the time you are working on your side business as a JOB. The more you treat your venture as a JOB the more successful it will be.  If you don’t cruise Facebook or social media or webpages at your full time jobs, don’t do it for your side/home based business.

Get rid of the “I need to make a quick buck” mentality.  I’ve discovered part time entrepreneurs who are successful have followed the formula investing time and treating it as a job have gone far.
