Online Business Training: Why You Might Damage Your Effectiveness

Look at my office. Clean-looking, right? I take my online business training seriously. I learned from many successful mentors to do 1 thing, and do 1 thing well.

Doing this thing:

• creates order in your mind
• boosts your online effectiveness
• creates peace of mind
• boosts your productivity

You might be damaging your effectiveness, though, because you...

Maintain a Sloppy Office

I admit, I am Spartan. Orderliness trumps everything. I work off of a laptop. I take all calls through Skype. Cyber storage. No papers, no extra.

Being on the road forces me to do online business training from a cyber space. I cannot afford to carry much more than a laptop.

No fuss, no muss. Taking this approach helps me create order in my mind. 

If I maintained a sloppy office I would become confused, disorderly and I would damage my effectiveness.

Spending minutes, or even hours, fumbling through information, worrying, wondering if I could get the info I needed, absolutely kills your effectiveness.

When it comes to home offices, the less material, the better.

Go Minimalist

I am far from a minimalist except when it comes to my office....aka my laptop. No need to carry much more. Again I do the phone thing through Skype.

I store online. I work in quiet, peaceful areas, whether I am in peaceful, stunning Nuevo Arenal, like I am now, or if I am back in my quiet home office setting in NJ.

Releasing on the need to fill your office space can boost your effectiveness. Less physical clutter means less mental clutter.

Be all about minimizing what you need to add to your home office. Find a quiet space, take frequent breaks and get to work!

Less Rocks

Less is better. At least in the home office area. Look up once again. 1 laptop and nature. That is all I need to succeed. 

Simple, clean and heck, I never lose out on business by using 1 tool, along with my mind, to grow my business ventures.

Do you maintain a minimalist view to setting up your home office?

Online Business Training: Why Responsive-itis Might Be Killing Your Biz

Oh boy! I experienced a touch of responsive-itis a few minutes ago. Caught myself responding to posts on Facebook when an online business training post was due here. Responsive-itis:

• robs you of your creativity
• builds a wicked attachment to social networks like Facebook, Twitter....as well as your blog
• influences you to play an ego-based game where you try responding to all social media chats

You know what this disease is all about. I have experienced it, here and there, and let me tell you, it is not pretty.

Online Business Training: Newbies Get the Wrong Idea

Newbies believe you must respond to every chat, comment or question on your blog or social media websites. 

Even vets believe this. Nothing wrong with responding but, if you are not chock full of paid work, and you are a pro, or want to be.....get rid of the idea that you need to respond to all requests.

Your energy is better spent in other spaces. Namely, creating new content or writing or clients or creating your own product.

When business suffers, hell yeah. When things move slowly, you better respond. But a certain tipping point moves in your favor - or against you - when you get busy. I mean, really busy.

Tipping Point

I run 4 separate ventures. I perform online business training and engage in other online opportunities.

So I can only respond to so many chats.

This is why Seth Godin responds to few comments. He is busy doing business.

Same deal with any industry pro.

I am no Seth Godin but I do have paying clients to speak to, and write for.

I do have blog posts to write.

Each 5, 10 or 20 minute chunk I used to spend trying to respond to all social requests, chats, etc, would have been perfect for me to churn out a blog post.

The tipping point has been reached. I am busy growing money-making business ventures so I can only spend a few minutes responding to social requests.

A doctor practices medicine and gets paid. A lawyer, law. A blogger, well he blogs. I am not a professional comment responder.

I respond when I can but I cured myself of Responsive-itis a number of months back by aggressively pursuing paid writing ventures.

Do you suffer from this disease?

How can you cure yourself?
