Juggling Balls…

Heck, its been ages since I’ve posted to my blog!

Infact timbrocklehurst.com isn’t the only thing that has suffered neglect this past fortnight. My customer service has been slow too (sorry everyone) and I have not mailed for as many of my friends and partners in the IM world as I should have either (forgive me guys)…

I confess. I’ve been practicing a method of working which I advise against. Its called multi-tasking. I don’t just mean talking on the phone and writing an email at the same time - thats just plain clever! - no, I mean I’ve been working on more than one project so that I don’t leave my ideas on the shelf too long.

The reason why I advise against it is simple. If you begin a project which will take say 24 hours and you work 8 hours a day, then in 3 days its finished, its out there and its making money.
If you begin 2 projects, one takes 24 hours, the other 32 hours - and you work on them both at the same time - then after 3 days you’ll be halfway through both of them instead of earning from one.

Thats why it is normally better to do one project at a time, and see it through to completion (so its making money) before you start something else.
But, like life, with Internet Marketing its not always easy to follow the rules of practicality.

Yesterday, one of the projects I had been working on, The Freedom List Version II, was completed. Actually its only the prelaunch firesale that is completed, and the new memberships - Platinum and Elite. This project begun early last week with a survey of the members to find out what they felt was missing, and what is most important, and was only completed when I mailed them all last night that the TFL II Prelaunch party has begun.

So it was completed 2 days later than scheduled. Why? because my time was divided while I try and complete a software product I’ve been building at the same time. I should know better. A further reason why multi-project-tasking is a bad idea, is because when you can only devote 50% of your time to something, you only do it 75% as well as you would if you were devoting all your time to it.

I have no conclusive proof of this, but I’m convinced its true…

Anyway, I’m thankful to have TFLII out there, and working. Its exciting when 100% commissions are offered on the front end. The viral-spread is fun to watch. I’ve also used the beta of Mike Filsaime’s Viral Friends Generator script (launching Feb 28) in it. And I’m watching closely how this promising little tool performs…

So now - with one project gone, I can throw myself at the other. (Which needs me 100%)… I’ll try not to leave it so long before my next post. Infact, I can feel it coming already so stay tuned…!
