Three Ways to Reduce Stress in Your Daily Routine Without a Big Hassle

Dealing with stress from events as rush hour traffic and problems at work can be stressful in and of itself. And you really have no time to devote to stress relievers as meditation and yoga. For example, if you are new to either or both meditation and yoga, you have to take additional time to learn how to benefit from them and then keep practicing until you’ve got them down pat. These efforts can result in even more stress.

One way to avoid these and other problems is integrating those efforts in your daily routine. For example, you can see what happens to you in a humorous way. In other words, imagine someone else dealing with your situation. Would that person suddenly begin to run in all different directions and still get nowhere? Would that person take the wrong step from the get-go and compound his or her problems? What would be the funniest thing that happens to that person? You’ll then be able to get a good laugh without having to interrupt your present activity.

Another way to reduce stress without taking extra time is by doing something else for a half hour or so. That way, you’ll still be getting things done. While you’re involved in the new activity, you interrupt the stress from the first activity. This technique is especially useful if you have writers’ block and find that your efforts to begin that report or story just don’t seem to be going anywhere. Instead of forcing yourself to produce, take a short time-out and have some lunch or do something else that is more relaxing. When you are ready to work on that report or story, you will find that ideas and words come more easily and what’s more, you complete that project in a more timely manner.

And finally, you can reduce stress with exercise. As you work around the house, for example, turn on hit music on the radio (or other dance music that you enjoy) and work more vigorously or dance along with that mop or broom. You can also jump rope if you have a minute to spare. You’ll find that you feel more relaxed by the time you are finished. But even more surprisingly, you’ll find that this works, especially when your stress seems to have reached an all-time high.

Even best of all, you’ll discover that you didn’t have to take a lot of extra time just to reduce those high stress levels. You’ve combined those activities during your normal routine and have succeeded!

Sales Prospecting Technique – Generate Sales Leads With The OXO Routine

Sales prospecting techniques that generate sales leads should be effective and easy to incorporate into your daily routine. The OXO routine is a tried and tested lead generator that most sales people can add to their daily actions.

This technique works best for sales people who sell a product or service which is targeted at a wide range of B2B prospects. The OXO routine is most effective when you have a good number of potential prospects close to each other. For example: When you are visiting an industrial estate or business park and what you sell could be bought by many of the businesses in the area.

We call this sales prospecting technique the OXO routine because the X is the customer you have a sales appointment with and the O’s are the prospects either side of your arranged meeting. When you have completed your sales appointment you call on the two closest prospects either side. The idea is that you make the best use of your time by prospecting close to where you are. They may not be right next door to the business you are visiting, but they should be close enough to walk to or drive there in a matter of minutes.

This prospecting technique will give you many benefits as well as making good use of your selling time. It gets you into a routine of cold calling after every appointment. That means you no longer put off prospecting until the end of the week or until you really need to do it because you have run out of leads. Setting yourself the action of doing the OXO routine after every sales visit will quickly build into a habit.

Use it after every sales appointment whether you make a great sale, or come up against a really difficult prospect and come out feeling down and rejected. After a positive meeting where you have made a sale you will be on a buzzing motivational high. What a great state to be in as you cold-call the businesses either side of your new customer. You may even want to use the fact that you have a new local customer in your introduction pitch to your potential customers.

When your sales appointment hasn’t gone so well you should still OXO the neighbours. You, like me, are only human. We feel the effects of an appointment where we don’t close the sale. As you come out of a bad appointment force yourself to do the OXO. Shake off any negative feelings or self-doubt, and head for the nearest potential customers either side of where you are. Generating sales leads in this way will get you back into a positive selling state and focus your mind on achieving your targets.

Adding the OXO sales prospecting technique to your daily routine will help you to constantly bring in sales leads and keep your prospect bank topped up. It cuts down the time you have to dedicate to collecting leads and makes your time management far more effective.

A Daily Routine For An Affiliate Marketer

People often wonder what is required to run an affiliate marketing business. Are you one of those people who buy into all of that “lazy late start mornings with a laid back breakfast, switch on the computer and check how much money rolled into your bank account whilst you slept?” It’s time to wake up and smell the coffee because the reality is nothing like that.

Now let’s not get off on the wrong foot, affiliate marketing does not have to be difficult or onerous but it does require input, commonly known as work. The work involved however can be very interesting, somewhat tedious at times but certainly one hundred times better than being in a job.

So let’s see exactly how our working day, as an affiliate marketer, should be.

Well the first part is as the guru’s say, you get up and have a leisurely breakfast, after all it’s your business and you are the boss. This, however, is not a justification for rising late and slouching about in your pajamas or nightie and waiting for a kettle or coffee pot to boil.

Try to rise as early as possible, preferably no later than 7am. and get dressed, have breakfast etc. and be ready to get on with the business of the day.

Virtually all highly successful business people, whether online or offline, tend to rise early so they can clear their personal requirements quickly and be able to get on with the business of the day.

As an affiliate marketer you will need to first:

Log on.
Quickly check business emails (note: – not personal emails)
Check web stats i.e. sales, promos, queries etc.
Attend to any admin such as banking, emails etc.

Once all the basics have been done, which can usually take up an hour or two, it’s time to move onto the real business of the day, which is getting more business.

It’s common knowledge, amongst the gurus, that virtually all of your time and energy should be spent focusing on bringing in new clients to your funnel either by providing new products, mailing lists, banners, advertising etc.

This means that the rest of your working day will be spent on marketing tasks. How long you spend on these activities is entirely at your discretion, after all it’s your business and you are the boss. Do remember, whilst you may be the boss, there are no real employees and the buck really does stop with you, even if you do use outsource sections of your business.

This is not the best place to go into the nitty-gritty of particular tasks that are required to be done. Needless to say the more skilled you are at a particular task then the less time it will take. All tasks require a certain amount of time and effort and as an affiliate marketer it is up to you to choose the amount of time and effort you want to spend on your business.

The rest of your working day could in theory just be a case of say, updating your blog, chasing affiliate payments or, on the other hand, it could involve numerous hours.

How many hours?

Well, to be perfectly truthful you could be sitting at your computer until the wee small hours and you will find that many a successful online marketer puts in that level of effort. It all depends on how badly you want to succeed.

Suddenly that lazy day lifestyle you were sold is nothing but a fantasy, you may well end up working harder and longer than you did when you had a job.

What’s the solution?

In a simple one-word answer, it’s PLANNING.

Plan your day and stick to it rigidly. Stick to it rigidly at first and then when you are comfortable with the routine you can start to ease back. By now you will know what works best for you, where you are able to make the most profit and more essentially you will know how much time and effort you are prepared to put into your business.

Now I bet when you read the title of this article and you started to read it you thought you were going to see a list of specific tasks that you would need to tick off in order to complete your daily effort. If you did then this is the old job mindset kicking in.

Now that you are an entrepreneur, boss or whatever titles you may want to give yourself, you have to think differently. Everything you do in YOUR BUSINESS reflects on your lifestyle, big time. So if you want to have that laid back dream of getting up late, slouching around and checking your bank account then you are going to have to either win the lotto or work hard to set it up.

I hope this article has helped you to understand that running a business, even an affiliate marketing business, requires a new paradigm. To quote a very famous saying which is so relevant, “When you change the way you think you will be able to change your world.”
