When it comes to your Internet or network marketing business do you have a business action plan set up? If not you could be making a vital mistake as this could be one of the reasons as to why you are not getting any results. It could also be the reason as to why you are feeling overwhelmed or feeling like a victim of the dreaded disease that many marketers refer to as information overload. Either way not being organised and not knowing exactly what you need to do in order to get results, you will be like many marketers who will waver in and out of the industry or eventually quit. By the end of this article, you will know exactly why you should have a business action plan as well as the crucial stages that make this up.
Why you need a business action plan
I briefly mentioned the consequences or reasons of not having a business action plan, but there are also many reasons why you should have one. The first reason why I believe you should take the time out in constructing a plan is because it will help you focus and keep you on track. For example by writing down your daily activities you will know exactly what you need to do and will greatly minimise your chances of getting distracted doing other things. There are many marketers out there, who want to get consistent results and succeed, but at times the distractions get in the way and they get nothing done.
In addition to this, having a business action plan will also play a role in stopping you from getting overwhelmed from all the information out there. This is because by knowing what you need to do, you will not spend hours reading up on loads of other information that will make you feel like your head is about to blow. This feeling of being overwhelmed and suffering from information overload is a disease that many marketers suffer from and is more than enough to completely 'shut them down' and make them look elsewhere. So having an action plan in place will greatly prevent this from happening.
The stages of having a business action plan
Your business action plan will have three stages and the first stage is to think about any costs that may be involved with your advertising. As you will already be with a business, you will know how much of a demand there is for your products so this will not really be a big issue. Thinking about the costs will though because we all know that with paid advertising, you can get faster and higher quality results in comparison to free advertising. Free advertising also rocks and I am not taking anything away from it, but you will need to think about this because it will come into play later on.
The second stage of your business action plan is actually creating your plan and deciding what you will do on a daily basis. Note I said on a daily basis and not weekly or whenever you feel like because the majority of Internet and network marketers fail
to ever get results due a lack of consistency. Being consistent in your actions is what will bring in the results and I know this from personal experience and I know that many others do too. Just like most things in life that take time to complete, you will need to be consistent in your actions and do what needs to be done in order to see success and the same thing applies online.
The final stage of your business action plan is to actually take action on the things that make up your plan. Taking the time out to actually create the plan, but not taking action on it, is not what will bring you the results. Doing that will be like joining the gym and hoping to get fitter but not actually attending. So if you want to build your business and get leads that may join your business, take action on what your plan says otherwise there really is no point in having a business action plan as you may end up suffering from the consequences and then quitting further down the line.
If you want to get results and succeed in this industry then you will need to step your game up and do what is necessary otherwise you will be left behind. Do not be fooled by all the new shiny products and magical offers that come into your inbox because they will only distract you and take you further away from your goal. The best thing you can do is to take out 20-30 mins, set up your business action plan and then begin to put it into action because when you do, that's when you will begin to see the results. :-)
