Income Producing Activities

Hallo again,

I am getting ready for KGI Consult to start through on April 1st. STill lots of offline business and some online start. The foundation layer is getting ready, the way is still long and tough, BUT the good news is that I know where I want to go adn I am willing to take all hurdles along the way!

I will be back with news on KGI Consult and some of my plans in the coming weeks but today I wanted to make sure to stop by and share an important learning I had along the way:

I am still in a learning process, actually I am a strong believer that we are all learning every single day, improving and finetuning for our success. The difference might simply be between learning consciously and learning in a passive, not evident way. Anyhow, this is another topic )

What I wanted to say is that these past days I got so excited with all the new tools I have learned and that have started bringing me massive success here in the wide vast world of online businesses, that I lost the overview. I have spent nights learning new tools, setting up social network accounts, writing network posts, testing YouTube video productions, finding out about new forums, connecting with people from around the Globe and exchanging ideas with them …. And time flew by and I did not even realise …

But today I sat down and said: What did I do these past days?

How many articles did I write? Zero

How many blog posts did I write? Zero

Did I do any Adwords? No

Did I mail my list? No

An then this shiver came over my back and I realised: I had been doing a lot, I had spent many long hours working – but it was with a long term view, mid term some of what I did … But NONE of the activities of my past days would generate immediate success, immediate income … and without continuous growth and success now in the short term all my mid term and long term preparations would not make a lot of sense …. See the point?

I had taken massive action on my longterm relationship building. I have grown in just a few days my friends on Twitter and Facebook (increasing as I am writing this post) and I have found great people to meet in there … but my Clickbank account stayed dry, sad and isolated ;-((

So I have decided a rule for myself and will be writing a concrete plan by tomorrow: “What to do, When, and How Often?!”

Income Producing Activities vs. Trainings & Social Networking & Support Activities & Co. = 2:1

Meaning 10 hours of income producing activities vs. max. 5 hours of training & networking & administration.

There is no need for any of us, especially when you have limited time resources, to free those for networking only or the other way round, for writing articles online only. A good mix of both will be the best, and the 2:1 formula should help you to focus and convert your huge motivation into a concrete plan.

To all your success

Your Kasia G.
