Course of Action

After making the commitment to go premium here at WA, it didn’t take long to realize that I had to put a plan of action in place to utilize my “business” time more efficiently.

Along with Boot camp training and corresponding activities; constructing a website, posts, comments - responses; and of course content, content (and more content!!!) -- It all seemed a bit overwhelming at first until I realized the importance of time management.

While WA has provided the opportunity, resources and essential training, it is up to me to make the most of this venture if I want to be successful. After all it was I who stated in my previous blog: “It is important that I set aside the necessary time to complete the training classes, community interaction and other activities offered through WA, in order to meet my objectives.”

Since I’m involved in ministry, the weekends are my busiest days, allowing me very little time to work on the business. Other days I am able to set blocks (3-4 hours) of time. Therefore I needed a system where I could work on all of the dynamics of the business, while keeping precedence. To begin with, I found myself spending most of my effort on one task then would run out of time before I could complete another one, therefore…

It Was Important to Find the Right Balance

Course of Action: When I divide my time factor into the following categories based on priority, it looks something like this: Class (Boot camp Training/ Website) – 50%, Community Interaction - Engaging/ Posts – 25%, Additional Content Writing (blogging) – 25%. Certainly this is subject to change as needed.

As I begin this course of action, I would be interested in feedback or ideas from those of you who may have had a similar struggle, and how you learned to handle it. Once I learn to master the time factor more proficiently I would love to be able to share this information with others.

Off to a Fresh Start!

Taking a stand was the best thing I could do in June 2016. I have been so engaged in helping the new people. Until I have not put the time that I need to have a very successful site, and I need definitely need a call to put my plan to work and concentrate on one project at a time. I am so happy for you.

Best Wishes,
LouisaB

Hi Louisa, I can relate to your experience. Periodically, I have to remind myself of that very thing - concentrating on one project at a time: First things first!! Thanks for commenting. :)
Blessings to you & to your success!

Hello, I am still in the learning stages of balancing the time factor as well. I look forward to watching the growth in people as well as myself. I think this is a great community and has potential just in the building stages yet :)

Hi Alisa, I think time management is a challenge that most of us have to deal with when we first begin WA! It does get better as we continue to prioritize and keep focus.

You're right, this is an awesome community with great potential for success when we continue to follow the training. Thanks for the response, and I wish you the best in your online venture.

I wish you the best as well, thank you! !

Great blog Adreyna! very useful and helpful for a newbie like me.

Thank you, Felix! I'm glad that I could be of some help. Thanks for the feedback!

Happy Sunday! I'm looking forward to networking with you!

Happy Sunday to you, and I'm looking to networking with you as well! Your positive outlook is very encouraging - keep it up!!

Thank you for the nice article. Time management is very important.

You're welcome! Thanks for your kind response.

Helpful to me. Thanks for posting ;)!

Thank you for reading and for the kind response!

Audrey, We all at some point have struggled through this on how to prioritize our time, when it comes to WA. Once you find a routine that works for you, you will be fine. In this business things come to you over time, and it will come to you. God bless!

Thanks for your encouragement, I appreciate it. My apologies for the oversight! Blessings to you.

I guess everyone goes through that whenever we get involved in something new and it's a normal part of the learning process, the trial and errors and the little failures from which we all learn.

The secret is in not giving up and keep "experimenting" with it until we find what works for each of us.

I too am pretty new at this and I often find myself overwhelmed or distracted, but I don't let it get me down. I keep working at my footing and trying to find my balance for I sure want to learn this dance.

From what I read in your blog, your train is on the right tracks to get you there. Hang in there friend.

Thanks for your encouragement! I agree that it is important that we not give up, but keep "experimenting" and find what works best for us. That's very helpful, and I wish you great success!

Trust me, I am with you the whole way and have struggled with managing my time as well. I work 60 hours a week, 6 days a week. But as you have done, I have created a stricter schedule for me to abide by.

Good luck and someone reminded today of something really important... Make your website and business your number 1 goal. WA is a huge a community and we will forgive you if you are a day or two late responding to a post or comment.

Just make all the email you get from WA a lower priority as you website should be at the highest of all priorities, especially when you're schedule is already pretty tight as it is.

It sounds as if you have a very tight schedule as well - thanks for the helpful advice! You're right, I do have to keep my WA business and website first, everything else is secondary! I appreciate the encouragement. Best wishes to you in your endeavor!

Priority, Priority ,Priority. I know this isn't any help but I have the same trouble so my advice would be a little pointless. I know you'll get plenty of help form the community. Sorry I wasn't able to help.
just wanted to say it looks like you have a pretty good plan to start with. :)

Thanks, Chris! It's just good to know that others have been through the same...Thanks for your encouragement!
