Well my coaching by Alex Jeffreys has begun. It started with a webinar titled “Forward to Basics”. Now little old me was being unusually cynical about whether I’d learn anything new.

Perhaps it was because the 2 hour webinar started at 11pm and I had to be up for work at 5:30am? Or perhaps I was foolish enough to believe that just because I’ve been online since 2001 there was little left about the basics for me to learn?

Well egg on face time for me, because I did learn some new stuff that I hadn’t heard anywhere before about planning my business. It also inspired me to put into practice some things I’d heard about but had never actually put into action.

So what will I be doing differently?

1. Using a kitchen timer to work in highly productive periods of 60 minutes with no distractions. That way I won’t be wasting time reading emails and surfing.
2. Actually planning my day, week, month, and year ahead by working backwards from my goals.
3. Continuing to keep my journal where I currently record what I’ve learnt and any cool sites I’ve found. Only now I’ll be adding a record of what I’m doing to succeed.
4. Keeping a ‘did list’ of how I’m spending my time whenever I’m in front of the PC working on my business. That way I can analyse where I’m wasting my time and improve my productivity.

Now I don’t know about you, but 2 hours into my coaching and already I can see tremendous benefits. Bring it on!!!

Be successful.
