Tired of waking up at the crack of dawn, running around trying to get ready and then sitting in traffic jams everyday no matter what time you leave? So was I until I found the awesome world of owning a home business. Now I make that long trek to my comfy desk chair about 8:00, in my sweats and not having a care in the world about making it to work on time. These are just some of the perks of owning your own home business.

Ok, enough of the pleasantries. As wonderful as working at home is, you must possess some great skills to find success at it. I am talking about time management and organization. If you are not careful, the comfort and distractions of having a home business can also be the doom of the very same thing. You have to find ways to ignore the laundry, cleaning and cooking that seems to be calling you throughout the day and make sure you stay on the task at hand. To help you accomplish just that, I have come up with a few tips that might make your life easier.

1: Be realistic with yourself. – You might want to start with asking yourself a few tough questions. Can I do this? Do I have what it takes to stay focused and ignore all the household distractions? Can I work to meet the deadlines while still retaining my freedom that I worked so hard to achieve? Freedom is great but it doesn’t pay the bills and if you don’t have the focus you need, this could be a disaster waiting to happen. Before you give a home based business a try, ask yourself the tough questions and try your best to answer them realistically.

2: Treat it like a job. – This may sound simple, but it can slip your mind easily if you can’t find the concentration you need. This is definitely a real job and is what you are counting on to pay your bills. Clock in and out just like you would a traditional business. Schedule your week and put it on a calendar you can follow daily. Schedule breaks and lunch like you normally would if you worked for someone else. Try not to detract form your schedule if you wan to find real success.

3: Is accountability your strong suit? – If it is not and you do get distracted easily, you may want to appoint an accountability partner. A spouse fits that description well, because they are looking out for what is best for you and the family as a whole. Check in with each other a couple of times a day to get a status report and use it as a way to gauge your activity.

4: Separate church and state. To manage your time working at home efficiently, you have to decide what you spend your hours on. Sometimes it is hard to explain to your family the difference between work time and family time. Once the workday is over, focus entirely on your family, and don’t let business intrude on your time with them.

5: How organized are you? – This is another very important question you need to address. De-clutter your home business surroundings. Concentrate on putting things away when you are finished with them, both on your computer and in your filing cabinet. Label everything in folders both online and offline. Being organized can lead to your success more quickly.

I hope these tips will help you with managing your time when it comes to your home based business. Having the right frame of mind and organization can be the real difference in your success.

One of the presuppositions of NLP sales is to always operate from a physiology of excellence. This means if you want to be excellent at something, then adopt the posture and attitude of those people that are excellent at doing said action. Seems simple enough. Now there is a lot more to actually modeling someone, say like a boxer or great salesperson, than their posture. But how about if I let you in on a little secret body position that ALL people naturally use when they experience victory. A simple gesture you can use when your frustrated and down on yourself. Or when you have negative internal dialog just ruining your day.

We’ll get into the actual mechanics of the gesture in just a minute. First a little background as to how this was discovered and what it really means. In NLP there is a technique called a pattern interrupt. Of course it sounds complicated but really its quite simple. A pattern interrupt occurs any time you’re doing something routine and that routine is interrupted. Lets say your driving to your office. You’re thinking about what you need to get done that day. Running the same pattern you do every morning. Then out of no where a tree crashes down in front of you. This is where the magic of a pattern interrupt occurs. Your normal routine has been interrupted and you have the choice about how to react to the situation.

How about making the decision that you’re glad to be alive. That tree could have landed right on top of you had you been just a few minutes earlier. Think of how lucky you are to have missed it.

You notice it’s at that time of the pattern interrupt that you can make changes as to where your thoughts are going. At the time of the pattern interrupt, your unconscious mind is looking for instruction from you.

“I need some instructions,” is what your unconscious is saying to you.

You see the unconscious mind is great at running patterns or programs. But it is incapable of making a decision. That is where the conscious mind comes in. Can you grasp the power of this?

As I promised, let me give you that gesture that you can use anytime to get yourself into a positive state. I guarantee you’ve seen the gesture before. In fact, it is innate across all human cultures. I discovered this technique by reading an article in sciencedaily.com. The article discussed that even people who are blind from birth, and have never even see another person, use this gesture when they’ve achieved something great. It’s called the fist pump. And I know you’ve done it before. Either you’ve thrown both fists in the air and shouted. Or you’ve pulled them back into your side. Whatever variation you use, it will instantly make your unconscious mind believe that you just succeeded at something great.

This technique is effective in all manners of different areas. Whether you’re working on some frustrating project or just need to get in a better mood. Throw your fists in the air and say “Yes!” We’re all unconsciously programmed to react to this gesture. You can even do it in front of other people by pretending you’re stretching and say the “Yes!” under your breath. It works for me every time.

At first I thought my co-workers would think I had finally lost it, but then I tried it in front of them and everyone was so excited they wanted to know what happened. Human beings are so attuned to the fist pump that everyone just assumed I had done something great or something incredible just happened to me.
