More about getting organised

“THE MOMENT YOU COMMIT YOURSELF IS THE MOMENT YOUR GOAL IS ASSURED”

Spending a bit of time and getting yourself organised for your eBay business is fundamental and crucial to your success there is no question about this one.

You see no matter if you have a product which was given to you in abundance free of charge and you sell each item for £1000 meaning you have £1000  of clear profit you will I guarantee fail and fail big if you are not organised in your business that my friend is a promise.

Its the same as lottery winners did you know that 82% of lottery winners in the UK alone have lost all their wealth and most are worse off than before they hit the jackpot why? because they did not change they remain as always disorganised the other 8% recognised this and sought out help and advise and continue to prosper.

So what do we do to give us a great chance of sustained success in our business?

We need to start by writing everything and I mean everything down here’s what you do.

Make a list of everything that needs to be done for your business buying stock, Listing items, Photograph, organise the garage, Tidy office etc.

Then arrange the list in order of importance select goals that have the biggest consequences if you don’t do anything about them the consequences may hurt you, and you do those first, then continue to work through your list until everything is complete.

Also by breaking the list down into month, week and daily tasks you can pace yourself and ensure your tasks are completed in good time and without stress.

Writting  down your goals into your diary gives your business a sense of worth and ensure your goals are completed instead of lying dormant in the back of your mind and sadly that’s where they remain for most people don’t let it happen to you.

When you write down your tasks or goals you give meaning to them you crystallise them and you are more likely to complete them.

TIDY UP YOUR STOCK, CLEAR OUT THE OFFICE GET A DAILY TO LIST STARTED CHUNK YOUR GOALS DOWN INTO DAILY WEEKLY AND MONTHLY TASKS AND STICK WITH THEM UNTIL THEY ARE COMPLETE.

Only do what really matters when I Write out my list I find it useful to ask a specific question such as is this task going to earn me money? then I write along side it yes or no when I have gone through all my list I am usually shocked to see how much time I am waisting on things that don’t need to be done.

“AND REMEMBER IF YOU KEEP ON DOING WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS DONE YOU’LL KEEP ON GETTING WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS GOT.”

Maybe you should use his idea too until next post Asta La Vista.

learn2sellonline: Allocate Yourself Some eBay Space

Is your stock all over the place?

Well it shouldn’t be one of the key things I insist on with students of my eBay classes is that they need to allocate themselves some space for their eBay business and that space is only for eBay business be it the garage or the shed maybe even the spare room which ever it is its going to become your money making business building centre.

In my case it was not until I had met with a very accomplished eBay powerseller that when I saw how professionally laid out his garage was that my enthusiasm boiled over to get back home and do mine too.

So I purchased 10 five stack book units from ikea at £15.00 each put 5 either side at one end built a work station where I have my laptop printer and postage materials I have also put a door and window in at the back.

All my inventory is now on the book shelves and itemised new inventory listed items with bids ready for postage and so on I allocate a set amount of time to eBay in my domain and no one disturbs me its brilliant and has increased my sales and professionalism at least ten fold.

You have to do the same if you want to have a serious eBay business.

learn2sellonline: Get Orgainised For eBay Success

Get organised for eBay Success

There is no doubt about it that those who are organised in their eBay business attain a much higher level of success than those who are not.

There are many things you can do to get organised for example if you are using your garage or shed or even spare room put up book shelves to store items you could have one shelf for new inventory one for sales and one for postage or whichever way suits your eBay business and they are very cheap at B&Q or ikea.

In general you should try to set up your eBay offline business as a mirror of your online business your shelving should represent your live listings listings sold and unsold etc..

Set up a postal work centre for packaging and postage and use good clean material not shabby grubby ones when posting your items image is everything.

Also right down your daily goals do the most important ones first and leave the unimportant ones alone keep hard copy files of everything and focus only on doing what is really important and avoid what’s not don’t get bogged down in unimportant tasks.

SUCCESS IS NEITHER MAGIC NOR HOCUS POSCUS ITS SIMPLY LEARNING HOW TO FOCUS.

Till next time.
