Efficiency Can Make or Break Your Business

Approximately 85% of network marketers work their business part time.

Because of this, efficiency becomes extremely important. The more efficient we are the more productive we become, and hence the better we become at creating wealth.

The best way to become more efficient is to improve your processes.

What’s a process? It’s a series of steps intended to achieve a particular result. Everything you do is a process.

The Best in the World Use Standard Processes

I was recently reminded about the importance of having well-defined process while having dinner with a former Thunderbirds pilot. He explained to me how there is constant and predictable communication that occurs while they are flying their shows (e.g., “thrust up 10%”).

Because of this, they are able to quickly tell if something is not quite right — such as if something is said out of order — alerting them to take corrective action.

Write Down the Steps

In network marketing, there are certain processes that you do again and again. When we take the time to write out the steps of our processes and do them repeatedly, we become much more efficient and thus more effective at these processes.

For example, I follow the same process every time I write a blog post: Write the title, write the body, write section headings, add keywords, upload image, create a short-cut link, post to Facebook, etc.

I follow the same (written out) sequence of steps every time. And because I do this, I never forget steps, I can jump right back in if I get distracted, and, most importantly, I get more efficient at the process (aka “The Slight Edge”!!).

What are the processes you perform regularly to build your MLM business? Are they repeatable and efficient?
