In order to get your tasks completed on time and in a proficient manner, there is a little trick that I use to make sure that I only focus on one project at a time and give it my undivided attention (when I possibly can). For example, you want to spend one hour on a particular project.

I post, blog and share current business ideas, projects, clients and ventures. By doing so - I've received business just because someone 'remembered' I'd mentioned something prior. When you chat, they can't hear your voice, when you are on the phone, they can't see you, etc. Email (build trust) 3.

Now, take a look at your business card, brochures or other social media profiles.    The other day I was in a meeting and saw a card that had the back covered with 2 different QR codes and the front had a few different urls. .    Others were more difficult to navigate when on my phone.

For example, I will try to work on task A for 1 hour. This will keep your project/goal in a manageable time frame, where you know how much time will be left once youve accomplished these tasks. Move all of the other tasks to the next day or time that you can tackle them. Next, add a time frame to each task.

  For example, say you met someone at a networking meeting a year ago and had a conversation with that person.    Do you have plans to support any other smart phones?  Do you have any future projects you’d like to tell us about?   A good CRM is more than an address book.

  Some say the traditional paper planner is the best, while others swear by their smart-phone or on line tool.  This could include having a PDA for all your business commitments, as well as a master calendar kept in a common area, such as the kitchen, for your family's activities.

There I was with a camera in my home and my team on the phone—talk about multitasking. There was a direction of a hot topics-style show, which is phenomenal, and it’s why The View , for example, is a huge hit, but it wasn’t me. It took a global pandemic to realize the impact and the accountability.” I wanted to hear from other people.

I get snail mail from credit card companies who could not possibly have my new mailing address unless they scammed it off some list. These are all examples of someone choosing not to ask permission to get me interested in their stuff. I have a crazy-busy RSS feed. Whether that’s email, physical addresses, or phone numbers.

I know whenever I’m looking to hire somebody for contract work or to share in projects I’m taking on I always check their website to learn more about them. For most of us, a Web site is as essential as a business card or that first cup of Java in the morning. Do You Have a Phone? Do You Have a Phone?
