Are You A Network Marketing Workaholic?

Barry White commented:“Hi Jason as one just starting out in this gig you actually amaze me. Do you not sleep? You have replied to every comment, where do you even get the time to write any articles anyway? You have just shown me how to go about it. Because when you look at all the articles just on ezine articles how was I going write anything that was going to stand out and you just answered the question for me.”

Good question. You know the truth is, sometimes I don’t sleep much, I’m a workaholic through and through. I love writing, marketing, and meeting new people. And I live by the quote: “Work is so much more fun than fun!” I think Noel Coward said that first.

Anyway, to answer Barry’s question:

You caught me red handed.

You caught a workaholic at work.

I’ve been answering comments in between phone calls, writing articles, the “Best of Better Networker E-mails”, and everything else. I’ve even been answering comments before and after supper, first thing in the morning and before I pass out at night too.

Trust me, when this blog was first flooded with comments I didn’t think I could handle it. I debated going the “guru” route and not answering them all… but in all fairness… that wouldn’t do justice to you.

You took time out of your busy day to read this article. Your time is every bit as valuable as mine. So I show respect by replying whenever I can. Although someday, I admit, this might not be possible. Till then, I’ll try.

My Savior

Thankfully Akismet (a little Wordpress plugin) sorts out most of the spam, because I get a lot of comments trying to sell me Viagra and shoes. Not sure how those two go together, but I’m happy I don’t have to deal with them anymore.

I also have a bit of a secret too.

You see, I have a really great team that handles all of the little details at Better Networker. So that frees up a lot more time for me to write articles, and reply to your comments too. It’s a team effort.

So don’t worry, you won’t murder poor ol’ Jason Better with a few more comments. I love hearing what you have to say because it makes it easier to help you (and other network marketers) out.

Plus, I’ve picked up some mad time management skills over the years. Dan Kennedy had a really short book about it that’s worth reading. It was real cheap too, like ten bucks. Only I’m not sure what it was called because I borrowed it from the library. Haven’t had time to buy it, I guess?

Anyhow, I think that’s the real answer.

I work in intense spurts when I plan to work, but I try take time to relax too.

The problem is, “work” is so much fun. I have to keep reminding myself to take time off for friends and family, or the weeks fly by.

Maybe you have the same problem. I remember back in the day, my dishes would pile up because I would be too busy working to notice them at all.

How about you?

Are you a workaholic too?

How do you find balance in your life?

To your success,

Hi J

Enjoying your work is the best situation to be in. So many people get up daily to go to work on things they hate, with people the don’t like and in conditions they cant bare.

As you know I recently wrote a blog post about how I balance my work and play.

Working in this industry is so rewarding, beats anything I have been involved in before
