Chit-Chat don't get you results
Hey everyone - this is somewhat of a little rant as I can't believe how much I hear from people that they don't have time for this and don't have time for that but yet I see them in chat/group rooms just chit-chatting up a storm - now don't get me wrong - I can be somewhat of a chatter box also BUT>>>>>>>>>>I don't come up with every excuse in the book as to why I am not getting referrals, not getting traffic to my sites and why my list is not growing. This is the ONE thing that I just don't have tolerance with these people - then they want my help.
When a person ask me for help, I bend over backward for them and help all I can but when I don't see that person taking some ACTION on what we just went thru - well........... I'm going to think twice the next time they need help.
People ask me all the time how do I keep up with what all I do and that they see me all over and don't know how I do it - well it's simple - I have a schedule of daily, weekly, and even monthly things that I do - I have written many blog posts giving people suggestions on how to do this and believe me it will make your life easier and more organized.
Here is one of my blog post if you would like some of my tips - Effective Time Management - tips that I do and that work but only if you take action and instead of sitting in chat rooms chit-chatting for hours - take that time and get yourself a daily routine - get in that habit and everyday it gets easier and faster to do - then you will find that you have time to occasionally chit-chat.
Again, I am all for building relationships and I know how easy it is to become a chatter box - been there did that - but that is NOT going to get you the results that you are looking for - that is like putting the cart before the horse - you need to get your work done, get the results that you are looking for and then become a chatter-box King or Queen.
One last thought here - don't be the one complaining all the time if you don't get comments on your articles, blog posts, etc. that is also a two way street - I personally feel that when you build a relationship with another - you will frequent their stuff without having to beg people to comment.
That is why the RSS feed is there - subscribe to the blog and get notified when there is a new post - it's a benefit to you actually to be that first comment and that is why I like using Google Alerts so that others do see me there when they are commenting and yes people do notice that.
Ok I feel better and thanks for listening - some may not like to hear the truth but I for one believe in telling people the truth and not sugar coating things and telling them what they want to hear.
Remember, chit-chatting will not get you the results that you are looking for - just think about the hour that you just was BS with someone - your could have commented on how many blogs and articles and created backlinks - OR you could have written an article just like I did now - this took 10 minutes - and that is what time management is all about.

Oh Phillippe - you sure know how to make a gals day
@ lu lee - blushing here but thanks
@ pplcheryl63 oh I agree that chatting with someone one on one is necessary but when you are in a group room and wind up spending hours in the rooms and don't get nothing accomplished - I am the first one to believe that you have to communicate and build relationships and I personally do that with all my contacts
@ Joshua - yes you are right - it's amazing how time goes
@ m5940 thanks and I agree

If a person is serious about succeeding, then they will act on the information they have been given, otherwise they are not in it to win. I do feel like chit chat does have a place and time. It may contribute
to gaining some good contacts. You point is very well taken about time management.

I agree with you. All to often alot of people go from chat to chat and before you know it the days gone. And nothing has been accomplished. Ends up being wasted time. They are all just tools, but not the way. Talking to the interested and leaving the rest alone.

Okay let me be the dissenting voice here. Or at least expound on another comment Mohann commented. "It does help to build relationship and stay in touch." Chit chat has it's place and depending on your goal for using it can be more valuable than another blog post. Blogs also have their place, don't get me wrong but a blog in my opinion is 'mass communication'. It can be informative and a great resource, but so is a newspaper.
Chit chat is personal communication and builds personal relati

Thanks Phillipe - good catch and guess if I wasn't so tired I would have caught that also - you are such a dear friend
Thanks Sean and I'm just that type of person - I just saying it like I see it
You are right Catherine - there is a difference in the type of chit-chat
Thanks Aldemer - just be careful to not lose your focus is all that I'm saying here
Well David - this is true but you also can't sugar coat everything either - people need to hear the truth sometimes
Thanks Mohann

wow... Incredible Number of comments, To me... it all appears like chit-chat....lol.... I appreciate the time Management article, Good looking site. 'Chit-chat' I feel is only useful to get along with friends or colleagues, for just a couple of minutes, to get vital info. and then everyone gets back to work... I mean we the serious ones....... gets back to being busy......:)

Sorry I couldn't resist!

I know, I just copied part of Cindy's post. I had to try it. It's the first time I plagiarize part of a comment. Does it make me feel good? Can I honestly say I'm a serious marketer if I do that? Hmm... Nah...

Nancy I too am a chatter box but I see many that do just as you say.
Commenting on posts and writing your own new and original ones would probably be time better off spent than chittering
Priorities are not in the correct order for many.

When people don't have anything worthwhile to do, they chit-chat. It does help to build relationship and stay in touch. However, too much of anything is indeed bad. One must focus on doing the right things and utilize the available time more effectively. One must watch out when he or she is purposely dragged into unnecessary conversation which may lead to irrelevant comments and misuse of the space provided by the original writer. Nancy, you have raised a significant issue and thanks for that.
