How To Balance Your Schedule Between Your MLM Business & Family Life Wouldn't you love it, if the battle between your network marketing business and family life wasn't a battle?

I know right, I used to feel the exact same way and honestly it shouldn't be such a battle. I think depending on the type of MLM business you decide to get into, which we covered a couple of days ago, click here if you need to go back to it.

When I really started focusing on building my network marketing business in 2008, I was a married mother of 3 working a full-time job so when it comes to the excuse "no time" my photo was already in the dictionary smiling back at you!!

This post is not to share an EXACT schedule because let's be honest who's life is the same so there's no way for me to say do this and this and you'll also be successful. All I could do is share what worked for me and hopefully it can give you some ideas on what can work for you.

What I did and did so CONSISTENTLY was began working my business a couple of hours on the weekends and maybe once or twice during the week in the evenings. In the beginning IF I had to set up a business appointment after work I honestly tried to make sure that the appointment was a quick one so that I wouldn't get home so late to help the kids with homework, showers and most importantly before they went to bed for the evening.

I know the weekends can be sacred for some moms because these 2 days seems to be filled with our children's activities like soccer, baseball, or volleyball BUT sometimes I did have to sacrifice my weekends to work a network marketing to showcase my business. If I did have weekends that were filled with business activities I tried to make sure that the following weekend would be solely focused on the kids maybe doing like a dinner and movie.

The ONE thing that I wished I would of started from day 1 and I believe would of helped me grow even faster, is I wished I would of started advertising myself online. Let me tell you the moment I began getting orders online and recruits signing themselves up online, my business and life TOTALLY changed!!!

It actually took me 2 years to completely replace my full time job where I was able to totally walk away and enjoy life with my kids and I haven't honestly worried about my schedule ever since!! So the one takeaway I'd tell you is to take advantage of what your MLM company can help you do online so you can work on other business building activities like training your team or doing a 3-way call with a new prospect. Freeing up your time to spend more time with your family I'm sure if most of our goals so why not start working on that as quickly as you can from the very beginning.
