BCMblog - Confessions of a Serial Entrepreneur

Anyone who knows me knows i try to be a jack of all trades, i am an affiliate marketer i am a arbitrageur and i am a blogger and an investor, so how do i keep organized?

Here’s my secret first of all write a list of what you want to accomplish THE NIGHT BEFORE remember it has to be the night before, the next morning when you wake up DO NOT check email or voice mail or any instant messenger, i personally shower then i eat then i work, this helps me get my brain going and helps me focus on what i need to do that day.

A lot of my daily routine is mundane tasks, checking stats, analytics looking at what new offers have come out, checking sites and updating blogs. I use the FireFox Save All Tabs Feature. I then break them into categories.

9:30am Wake up, Shower, Eat

10-10:20am then i will check my arbitrage sites first thing in the morning to see how my babies have been doing so i will click on my Arbitrage saved bookmark tab in FireFox, open all those check stats, tweak what i need to then move on from there.

10:30-11:30 Next i generally look at my AM campaigns and see if anything is new from any of the networks that may be interesting, see keyword performance and look at reports.

11:30-12:30 After that it’s fun time, now it’s time to check emails and open up Google Reader and your favourite forums to see the latest gossip and any news.

12:30 - 2 Lunch, lunch is a great time to relax unwind.

2:15-3:15 Stock time after the markets close (west coast time) i bring up some tools i use to invest and screen for stocks see if there is anything worth looking into, i also do research check some charts look at patterns and make some orders for the next day.

3:15 If i’m a good boy i will write a couple posts but depending on the weather i may just relax outside or go out. I normally jump back on the computer later after dinner and try a few offers out make a couple campaigns to test, but everyday is different, people in my opinion need flexibility.

That’s a pretty average day, this schedule isn’t super rigid it’s flexible, which is the main reason i work for myself, i hated being told what to do at a regular job. If i don’t sleep till 5am which is known to happen every now and then, then the next day i wont start till 11 or 12 but that’s ok.

The most important thing is consistenly write down the night before the things you need to accomplish the next day and DO IT, also to use technology to help you and not hinder you i.e the FireFox save tabs feature.
