Treating Your Business Like a Business
Make the space. Find the corner or the room, designate that space as your business space, and dedicate that space to treating your business like a business.
Make sure your business office includes all the items you need to run a real business: a desk, filing cabinet, telephone, in-basket, out-basket, stapler, note pads – even a computer and printer.
If you’re just getting started and you can’t afford to buy all those things at once, work at it gradually, but finish your space as soon as you can. The important thing to remember is to create the physical environment that will help you take your business seriously.
Literally surround yourself with your business. Don’t just tack up a few dream-builder ideas you’ve cut out of magazine ads, and let it go at that. That’s not a business.
Start by putting your next six-month business activity schedule on the wall. Next to it, put up your function, calendar for the next twelve months, and write in your commitment to attend every available Amway function.
Next to that, put up your one-year, two-year, three-year, five-year, and ten-year goal plans.
And after you’ve had a serious meeting with your spouse and your family about it, post the exact date you’ll go Diamond, and make sure you can’t miss seeing it every time you enter your business space.
