part time business

Over the past year, so many start up entrepreneurs asked me the question “I work full time right now, can I run this network marketing thing part time?”

So I finally decided to make this post and answer that question very bluntly.

And my answer would be both yes and no.

Let me explain…

As an entrepreneur, you DO NOT get paid by the time you put in your business.  No matter what industry you are in, entrepreneurs only get paid by production.

No Result = No Dinnero

What I see most newbies in the network marketing industry do is that they treat their business like their jobs.

They would put in the hours, weeks later they don’t see the results and they would call the program a scam because it didn’t pay them.

Business is not a job.  And if one needs immediate part time income, go out there and find a part time job!  Your business is not going to pay you until you can make it profitable.

It is very difficult to make your business grow if you are treating your business as a part time hobby mentally.

Is it possible to run a network marketing business part time?

You can work part time on your business, but you can not treat your business as a part time thing.

Since time is only a small part of the equation of how much you get paid, you can definitely use it to your advantage.

Remember, even if you only have 1 hour a day to run your business, if you can concentrate all your energy and focus in that 1 hour block, you will be amazed at how much you will get done.

Make sure to focus 100% of your cell in your business in whatever time you can dedicate to it.  tune out all outside noise including phone calls, emails, even your family. Have a list of tasks you want to accomplish in front of you and do not get side tracked until you finish the tasks at hand.

Here’s one golden tip for you if time is not on your side

You are a business owner.  And business owners don’t do everything themselves.

The first thing you want to do is figure out what your strength and weaknesses are.

There’s nothing more unproductive than spending hours at your computer trying figure out how to do a task that someone else can do it for 2 minutes.

Get creative in outsourcing.  Outsourcing don’t always have to cost your thousands of dollars a month.

You can go find talents within your own network of friends and family.  You can even find computer help from students in a local community college near you!

Once you have your business running in streamline and you are only doing that tasks that you are good at, your business will start to grow and you are on your way to achieve the life of your dream.
