Top Tips for Time Management & Study

http://rachelhenke.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/good-student.jpg

Some people spend all their time learning because they enjoy it .. or use it as a form of procrastination because they’re afraid of getting into action.

Others spend no time learning and just fly by the seat of their pants.

So what’s best?

Well I am an enthusiastic student and I LOVE studying mindset and marketing stuff which is one of the reasons why being in a home based internet business is perfect for me.

BUT I make sure to take the stuff I learn and APPLY it in my business.

Learning without action is like not really knowing what you learned at all right?

It’s just theory and we all know that theory doesn’t get you very far financially or results wise unless perhaps you’re an academic.

If you’re flying by the seat of your pants and working on pure enthusiasm run with that as far as you can and when you hit the wall (which you most certainly will) identify what’s holding you back and study that skill in detail.

So in your busy life when should you actually make time and invest your resources into studying for your skill development or ‘personal technology?’

Here are my top tips that I’ve found helpful for time management and how I advise other entrepreneurs to study:

ONLY get the next course when you feel ready to learn a specific skill set taught in it.
Make a good business decision and don’t invest because of get rich quick promises and hype.
Listen to your gut and sleep on it if necessary but don’t let FEAR dictate your actions.
Study in down time (not business hours) OR if you must study when you have a clear mind then get up an hour early and do some each day.
If you’re a night owl study late at night when the kids are in bed and the T.V is off!
If you work from home and have kids and people coming in and out a lot, make yourself a quiet corner somewhere in the house and set yourself up for success by committing to a certain study time when you know the other stuff is taken care of.
Resist overloading yourself with too many skills to learn at once.
Choose a mentor that is doing exactly what you want to do and INVEST in working with them.
When you invest in working with them DO WHAT THEY TEACH YOU!
Work a 90 Day Plan so you create content or do some other lead generating/marketing activity every day at least five days a week.

And remember what the great Jim Rohn said, ‘Study, Practice, Teach.’ So studying without action is not of much value and action without knowledge doesn’t always get you where you want to go!
