The Entrepreneurial Time System

Posted on October 13, 2007
Filed Under Posts | 5 Comments

Erik Stafford here, and as a visionary, work-from-home type of person, I find that all my days are pretty much the same… I wake up, grab a coffee, and then spend my entire day dealing with whatever my voicemail or email throws at me.

I work too many hours. I work everyday, since my office is always right here, beckoning me.

I mentioned the Entrepreneurial Time System in my email yesterday. It was the core part of the Strategic Coach training I received last week in Phoenix, and it’s already making a huge impact on my energy and productivity… So I wanted to share it with you.

Basically, the Entrepreneurial Time System breaks the work week down into the following types of days:

Free Days: Free Days are not mandatory, they are required. Free Days are 24 hours, from midnight to midnight… completely unplugged. No email, no work, no phone. I am not even supposed to read books that relate to work!

Buffer Days: These are days where I plan, delegate, and generally complete any work that I have to get done. This includes podcast recording, blogging, myspace and social bookmarking stuff, customer support emails, etc. etc.

Focus Days: Focus Days are days where I spend almost all of my time doing “focus” activities, which are basically activities that center around my unique abilities, and directly affect my bottom line and the growth of my business. For me this means working on The Faster Webmaster II, and setting up partnerships and joint venture opportunities.

For me, I am going to start taking one “Free” day every week, and two “focus” days. This leaves four general “buffer” work days.

So what does this mean to you?

Well, even if you are not in a position where you can split up your time based on entire days (perhaps you have a full-time job, for example) then you can at least start by turning one weekend day into a “buffer” day (perhaps you work on side projects, or clean the house and run errands, or work on your internet business) and one weekend day into a “free” day: go ahead and unplug for an entire 24 hour period.

Read a book. Take the family somewhere. Go golfing, or go for a long walk.

In your work days, go ahead and carve out “focus” time and “buffer” time. Perhaps you check and answer emails and voicemail’s first thing in the morning, and then you turn everything off and just work on “focus” stuff until lunch.

I am taking my first full “free” day tomorrow. Wish me luck! I am taking the kids to the park, and then probably going to settle into my hammock with a good book. Maybe I will go golfing. Who knows?

Anyways, I hope you find this information as powerful as I have, and have a great weekend!

To your success,

Erik Stafford

Feedback II: What do you want to see in The Faster Webmaster II?

Posted on July 10, 2007
Filed Under Posts | Leave a Comment

Part II of “Voice Your Opinion”. I asked The Faster Webmasters (and also my subscribers) what they wanted to see in The Faster Webmaster II. Here are the answers:

Auto Responders, Automated systems. Use of getting your Website to the top of search engines Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. etc. How to bid and win with Pay Per Click. A complete marketing system for promoting products, ebooks or services from the start to receiving payment.

I have so much to learn. Anything you come up with will surely be important. You seem to come up with all the stuff we need to know and don’t even know to ask.

I’m stuck on integrating my shopping cart and Pay Pal on my site.

Where to get affiliate products to sell. It seems like all the products I get are internet marketers trying to get me to sell their products on how to internet market. I am not interested in how to sell products to other internet marketers I want to know how I can better sell products I am interested in to people on the internmet.

How to build a list. How to hook a merchant account to this, How to hook joint ventures to this, How to generate more traffic. How to protect the website from thieves, pictures etc…

Social Marketing

If ever I put it all together, you are the only one I’d would consider developing such a course with because you are the only one in the business so far that I’ve met through emails who does not hide behind the email system and staff members.

How do I duplicate an email in AWeber without having to recreate it over and over again.

To your success,
