Managing your time is of the utmost im-
portance when working from home. While
distractions may be considerable in an of-
fice environment, they are also prevalent at
home. It is easy to get caught up in doing
the laundry, cooking dinner and watching
TV so it’s important that you are actual-
ly working during work hours. We are not
saying you shouldn’t take a break every so
often where these chores can be accom-
plished, in fact we encourage it, but rath-
er don’t make it a habit and spend three
hours cooking an elaborate meal for your
spouse. If you are meant to be making calls
from 9-11, make the calls, don’t procrasti-

nate. It is also important that you determine
which hours you are most productive. If
you are a morning person, use these hours
to perform your most critical, thought-in-
tensive tasks and use the time later in the
day to follow-up on email or undertake any
research assignments you may need to ac-
complish. Create your daily schedule and
then follow it to the best of your ability. Life
happens, crises occur, just don’t let them
throw you off. If you need to, find a suit-
able time management system. Making a
schedule and sticking to it will reduce your
stress level and keep you more motivated.
Productivity breeds more productivity.
Working from home is a trend on the rise. For
those in the network marketing industry, it is not
just a trend but rather a way of life. How many
times has someone said to you, “I could never do
that”? We understand that working from home
requires a certain level of discipline but, if hand-
led properly, it can be a rewarding and produc-
tive lifestyle. We know this already, right? Being
successful network marketers we know it works.
It can definitely prove to be a better option than
arriving at an office daily, being accountable to a
boss who is constantly looking at their watch and
enjoying the solitude of not being interrupted by
the water cooler conversation. Creating discipli-
ne, staying motivated and productive when wor-
king from home can prove challenging to some
but it can easily be mastered by implementing
the following routines into your life.

We all know that exercise reduces stress
but it also helps you become more produc-
tive. When working from home we become
sedentary. Exercise allows us to get our
juices flowing, gives us some time away
from the phone or computer to think and
clear our heads. Exercise provides a boost
of energy, which will ultimately make you
more productive. One of the benefits of
working from home is that we have great-
er flexibility. Instead of a lunch hour in an
office, build into your schedule 30 minutes
to go to the gym or for a run. You’ll be glad
you did and some fresh air will do you the
world of good. Furthermore, switch-up
your schedule every once in a while for a
change of scenery, try working from your
local library or coffee shop.
Nowhere is it written that you can only cel-
ebrate when something major happens.
In fact, it is healthy and productive, not to
mention, great for your self-esteem, to rec-
ognize and celebrate small achievements.
Did you just register a new team member?
Was the webinar you just participated on
a success? Since no one else is around
to compliment you, reward and celebrate
yourself. Set a healthy baseline for your-
self and then celebrate when you reach or
exceed it. Share your success or achieve-
ment on social media, call your family, eat

your favorite snack… Recognize, reward
and celebrate your achievements. Most
importantly, don’t forget to recognize and
celebrate your team members who achieve
important milestones. Positive feedback
and praise go a long way in keeping your
work team motivated. When giving feed-
back, make sure you are informational and
specific in nature; tell them exactly what
they did well so as to encourage repeat be-
havior. Rewards and celebrations will keep
you positive and motivated to get up and
do it again tomorrow.

4. The concept of JFK’s inaugural speech,
which has also been used by the likes of
Jim Rohn and Zig Zigler, relates to service.
The more people you help, the greater life
rewards you in return. Bottom line: build
service into your daily life. The richest expe-
rience in our lives is not from receiving vali-
dation from others but more so when we are
doing something that matters, and doing it
well and in service of others. It doesn’t mat-
ter if it’s helping a team member build their
organization, providing training or talking to
a new customer about how the DubLi.com
platform will save their family money – serv-
ing the greater good will benefit you. How
does this make you more motivated or pos-
itive? It’s simple; it feels good to help others.
If this service to others also benefits you fi-
nancially; all the better. At least you’ve done
something you can feel good about that is
productive and beneficial. Some would call
this “karma” but it works, give it a try.
“Ask not what your coun-
try can do for you but what
you can do for your country”
John F. Kennedy
