Simple tricks, Great results! – Generating sales through effective time management.

It is not so that you always need capital or a degree from a prestigious university in order to be able to do things that give you a lot of money or in our case generate more sales. Some times what you only need is a positive attitude towards things you already have like the God given time. Everyone small or great is blessed with time but what makes the difference is how each one of us use it. As entrepreneurs our success is rated by our ability to make use of things that are already there or simply by being resourceful. Time is one such resource, precious and none renewable because when lost is never recovered. 

Therefore, it must be carefully managed by developing a habit of following a daily schedule. Developing a habit takes time but if it will take you the next three to six months to change some of your poor time management habits in order to increase your sales wouldn’t that be a good investment? Here are important principles to consider in creating and following an effective schedule.

The morning routine

What happens to the time you get up to the time its twelve 

o’clock is critical because during this time you are fresh, your 

concentration is high and you are at your best. Successful 

people you may know of work the hardest in the morning by 

focusing on the most critical tasks during this period of time. 

Waking up early is therefore, recommended because as an 

ambitious person you are trying to get the best out of prime 

time by extending its duration.  Indeed the morning routine is 

critical to your success because it gets everything started. It 

start the snow ball down the hill, gets the tires rolling on the 

road, it gets you moving forward !

Each second matter

Over night success is a fallacy. Biz Stone co founder of Twitter once said, “ Timing, perseverance and ten years of trying will eventually make you look like an over night success.” Another saying goes, “ Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in , day out.” The point to which all this should take us to is that when it comes to time management success is a product of making the most out of even the smallest unit of time which is the second. Your efforts in a second must feed into the minute which in turn feed into the hour, then into the day, then into the week, the month, the year and so forth. This is how you can come to what Biz Stone meant when he said, “Timing, perseverance and ten years of trying will eventually make you look like an over night success.”

Common distractions to be wary of

As we progress in our great endeavor of developing and following a schedule here are common distractions to be wary of.

Daily Newspapers: Daily newspapers can be alarmist, manipulative and manufacture headlines meant to drive daily sales by tapping into peoples fears and impulse. Definitely a daily newspaper is the last thing you should read in a day. Sources of information you should rather prioritize for your reading are subject matter content like this blog Sunrise Talk – A Weekly digest on sales and entrepreneurship simply because its content is written after being carefully thought through. Others are weekly newspapers for the same reasons.

Friends: There is nothing in your life that should not wait 

until twelve noon. Friends usually come by for a chat about 

sports and issues that do not contribute into what you want 

to achieve. Give them their time but they should know that that time isn’t before twelve.
