Productivity Advice from Jerry Seinfeld

We all have certain tasks that we should be doing on a daily basis. But for some reason or another we don’t.

Deep down we know that doing these tasks would not only help us become a better network marketer but they would also greatly improve our business skills.

There’s a great story about a young comic who met Jerry Seinfeld.

He asked him if he had any tips on how to improve his jokes as he was still learning the ropes.

The answer Seinfeld gave him was genius, not for the fact that he told the young comic to write every day (which he already knew), but because he told him to write every day, even if he didn’t feel like it.

Seinfeld then went on to reveal his own secret technique that he uses to stay motivated and pressure himself to write every day.

He told the young man to get a calendar that shows a whole year on one page and hang it on a wall where he can see it. The next step was to get a big red magic marker.

Then he told him that for each day he does his task of writing, he should put a big red X over that day.  After a view weeks he’d see a chain and that chain would grow longer and longer. He said, “you’ll like seeing that chain especially after you get a few weeks under your belt.  Your only job next is not to break that chain.”

“Don’t break the chain.”

What a great psychological motivator. It get’s you keep going because you start to like seeing that chain unbroken. And so, tasks that may be difficult for you (or boring)  but beneficial for your business will get much more exciting and the chances increase that you’ll actually do them.

I will try that out.   How about you? There are a few tasks I should be doing on a daily basis. But for some reason it’s more like a hit and miss.

Oh,  in case you are wondering why I titled this post “How To Become A Better Network Marketer  … In Less Than 30 Days.”  Because I don’t think you would like to break your chain of X’s after a couple of weeks, would you?
