So could you make a fortune network marketing? Some people really do get rich, while others are happy just to cover the household expenses. However successful you want to be in your own home business you will need to learn the trick of focus.

Making money working at home is the dream for thousands of people today. Whether you want to spend more time with the kids, make a few bucks while you’re home anyway, escape your boss, or simply avoid wasting time in the daily commute, a network marketing internet business can be the perfect work at home plan.

However, it is not as easy as some companies make it sound. Pick up a copy of Ann Sieg’s free report The 7 Lies Of Network Marketing to find out. The quit rate in network marketing or MLM business is huge. Around 90% of new recruits will quit. This gives MLM a bad reputation. But did you know that the quit rate for any other type of self employment business is just as high?

It’s not MLM that is the problem. It is tough starting any kind of home business. And the main problem that most people have can be summed up in one word:

Focus.

Distractions, interruptions, lack of motivation, spending too much time on unproductive tasks … working from home with no boss hanging over us, we all suffer from some if not all of these issues. They all lead to time wasting and lack of focus, which means less money coming in.

The worst thing we can do is hop from one task to another during the day. Every time we divert our focus to a new task, we waste time getting into the ‘zone’ of the new task. Recent research claims that it can take up to 20 minutes to get totally into the zone of whatever we are doing. Only then are we really focused on the task and able to work most effectively.

Of course, have frequent breaks. Take 10 minutes to stretch, relax, fetch a glass of water. But do not watch TV or pick up a magazine. bring a pen so you can write down ideas that come up during your break.

Figure out what time you have available and use it, without distractions and interruptions. Give all your attention to your number one priority for the day, and do not do any other work until it is completed. Longer term projects that will take more than one day can be broken down into smaller daily tasks. But however you do it, keep your focus through all of your work hours.
