Hi

You know that e-mail is a fast and simple way to communicate with people. But e-mail can also help you manage many areas of your business.

Use e-mail to coordinate projects, keep your team on the same page, maintain and grow your customer base, and make it easy for your customers to contact you.

Thanks

We all start every day with a very limited number of hours. During those hours we have many choices of what we can do with our time. Pareto's Principle (aka "The 80/20 Rule") would suggest that 20% of the possible activities will produce 80% of your results. I think the numbers might be even more extreme. Regardless, the goal of time management for real estate investors is to do MORE of the 20% activities, and LESS of the time-wasters.

Fighting the Time Vampires
The other challenge we face, to use Dan Kennedy's terminology, is the Time Vampires. These are the people who are constantly trying to suck your time like a vampire sucks blood from its victim. We need to have hyper vigilant senses, and be constantly aware of and avoiding these people.

As entrepreneurs, it's almost as if we have a magnetic field attracting time wasters. Nobody is micromanaging us, and we are free to waste time to epic proportions if we so choose. That makes it all that more important that we manage our time effectively to get all the revenue-generating tasks done. Instead, one of two things often happens to us:

1. We don't generate as much revenue as we could, or, worse, as much as we need to.

2. We end the workday (you have one, right?) with a feeling of incompleteness.
