Many of us about 90% of online marketers run our business on a part-time basis. In other words, we usually have a regular 9-5 JOB and then try to run our online business in our spare time.

Trouble is, most of us find it very difficult to juggle the time we have to spend on our business, with the time we need to spend with our families or our other commitments.

This can be very frustrating and judging by what I read from the average marketer, most people simply can’t find the right balance – and in the end – they give up.

The secret to finding the right balance is focus.

Like many of us you may have more time than money, and as a result you’re prepared to do things yourself rather than pay someone to do it for you.

Remember your time is extremely valuable to you so you need to be as efficient as possible to ensure you are getting a high return on your time investment.

The most effective way to do this is to allocate a set amount of time each day to concentrate on ONE specific component of your business. Once your allotted time is up, you need you move on to your next task.

I have found that allocating a maximum of 45 – 50 minutes for eack task is most effective. Anything longer than this and you begin to lose concentration and you become less
efficient with your time.

Walk away from your compter, do something different, go out into the garden pull out some weeds, go play with your children, go cook dinner anything to give your mind a rest from your business.

So start today by determining what tasks need to be carried out in your own business, and then develop a weekly time schedule/plan to complete each task.

Do this and you’ll be surprised at the huge improvement with your results.
