Could you make a fortune network marketing? Some people really do get super rich, while others are happy just to pay the bills and have more freedom. However successful you want to be in your own home business you must train yourself to focus.

Running a successful home business is the dream for many people today. Whether you want to spend more time with the kids, make a few bucks while you're home anyway, fire your boss, or simply resent the time wasted in the daily commute, a network marketing internet business can be the top work at home solution.

However, it is not as easy as some marketers make it sound. The drop out rate in network marketing or MLM businesses is huge. Around 90% of new recruits will not succeed. This gives MLM a bad reputation. But did you know that the failure rate for any other type of self employment work from home is just as high?

It's not MLM that is the problem. It is hard setting up any kind of home business. And the main challenge that most people have can be summed up in one word:

Focus.

Distractions, interruptions, boredom, spending too much time on unproductive tasks ... working from home with no boss hanging over us, we all suffer from some if not all of these issues. They all lead to bad time management and lack of focus, and that means, less money coming in.

The worst thing we can do is constantly switch from one task to another during the day. Every time we transfer our focus to a new task, we spend time getting into the 'zone' of the new task. Recent research suggested that it can take as long as 20 minutes to get totally into the zone of whatever we are doing. Only then are we truly focused on the task and able to work most effectively.

Sure, have frequent breaks. Take 5 to stretch, relax, fetch a glass of water. But do not switch on the TV or pick up a magazine. Take a notebook so you can write down ideas that come to you during your break.

Figure out what time you have available and use it, without interruptions or distractions. Give all your attention to your top priority for the day, and do not do anything else until it is done. Or for longer term projects, set aside certain times each day for that task, and catch up with your email, calls etc in the rest of the time. But however you do it, keep your focus through all of your work time.
