Market Your Ministry: Step 2 To Focus

  

Market your ministry for online success has to start from somewhere. This series by Theresa Croft, helps you discover five easy steps to begin your business or ministry marketing plan online.

It starts with the word FOCUS!

Focus Defined
The word focus is defined as “a central point, as of attraction, attention, or activity.” I’d like to hone in on the part of definition that involves concentration: to focus one’s thoughts. The mind is an amazing gift from God. As it says in His Word, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”(Proverbs 23:7)

So the beginning key to having a better focus has to start in the mind.

Well, I love acronyms, so I took the letters in focus and found five central thoughts to improve your focus for success in market ministry, business and life! The first step was focus on your ultimate destination with your business or marketing plan.

Step Two: "O"

Once you know your destination, you are ready for step two which centers on the key that youwork or walk out those things the most that produce the result. In other words, your action has to fit what you desire to see happen.

Once again, take Jesus’ life. He was always about the Father’s business. He came to seek and save the lost. His mission from the moment He came to this earth was set.

That’s why you’ll find Him at 12 years old spending time talking with the religious leaders at the temple. He may have waited until He was 30 to begin His actual ministry, but every step of the way was marked by an amazing focus.

One of my mentor’s, Dani Johnson, a business success coach and
anointed teacher, instructs how 80% of your action should be in doing that which produces the results. For example, if you are in a business where you get paid based on how many people you recruit in your business, 80% of the time  should be talking to people on the phone or communicating online to share the opportunity.

From there, 19% should be on training and learning, and 1 % on problem solving. You may be in a business where you get paid based on people buying a product. So, the majority of your time is set to perform those actions to see that people purchase your product. That 80% could be divided up in numerous directions, from marketing to labeling.

If you make money selling cookies, well I hope your oven is hot and your baking cookies!

I think you get the idea.

I love the 19% focusing on training or learning. You could also
mark that as personal development. As Dani says, “The
marketplace pays for value. Your value is your skill or knowledge.”

So you may as well spend a proportion of time increasing that knowledge or learning a new skill.

Spending 1% on problem solving has to be summed up as, “Don’t sweat the small stuff.”

To walk out this might mean you watch less television, play less golf, or cut down on something else that takes so much of your time. It might mean you have to learn a new skill. You may have to
go the extra distance....but with the destination in view, it’s worth it!
