If you don’t have a simple “Daily Method Of Operation”, building a large and successful organization will be very difficult. A DMO usually consists of one to three things you commit to doing daily. Most of your business is the same process; it is rinsed and repeated, but you miss the point of your day if you are unsure what you are rinsing.
I have often been asked what my day looks like. It isn’t complicated, but it’s something that keeps me on board with my business and engaged. I wanted to give you my routine most mornings, of course, there will be the days that something will come up and things get shifted.
Method of operation to start the day
The alarm goes off at 5:50 AM, and normally, I wake up before it rings because I hate the sound of an alarm first thing in the morning. All animals are shuffled outside to go potty, yes it looks like a parade. I get to stand on the front porch and watch the sunrise between the trees in my robe.
- 6 AM – coffee is brewing
- 6:10 AM – coffee with almond milk with a drizzle of honey
- 6:15 AM – sit on the front porch in the rocking chair and sip coffee, normally entertained by 3 dogs and a cat.
- 6:30 AM – get my son up and ready for school. Fix his breakfast.
- 7:30 AM – on the road to school
- 8:00 AM – I and my little dog get a 2-mile walk in usually listening to a podcast.
- 10:00 AM – check email/Facebook/Social updates – respond to messages/Follow up with leads and prospects
- 10:05 AM – send birthday messages and post one update in my business group
- 11:00 AM – break/lunch
- 1:00 PM – connect with 10 new people daily using the following method. Review the friend request for connection and follow up with the day before connections.
- 9:00 PM – Write any emails or blog posts – yes, I am a late-night writer. I have tried to write during the day, but it doesn’t work well for me.

Goals for the Day
Your goal for the day should be building connections with people (that is how business grows) and follow-up. Learning how to communicate is 99% of working in business and building connections with people outside your circle.
If you hate doing this, network marketing will be an uphill battle for you. Your business is more than just the product you have for sale – it is the relations you build and the people you serve.
Look to generate three new leads each day through various methods – talking about your product to people you encounter daily, social media, and networking. If someone shows interest, they are a contact. Even if the person is uninterested, you can still count them as a contact.
Following up with people who have expressed interest and have either looked at the information or have not. Follow-up is essential in any business because people are very unlikely to say ‘yes’ to the first approach. Most people get so discouraged when people say no when approached. The good news is most people say no when approached the first time.
Who is my focus
The focus is customer nurturing, reaching out to past and existing customers, team members, or even upline or cross-line people to let them know you appreciate them. This can be done via message, text, call, a handwritten note.
Keeping a journal or a notebook is the only way to track and see what you are doing in your business. We all get busy and think we are doing money-making activities, but it looks more like surfing on Facebook instead of generating and connecting to leads.
You have the same job description (DMO = daily method of operation) no matter what rank you are in. The only difference is the pay increase from the job you have done. It doesn’t make you a different person it shows results from the work you did for the 80% ~Taylor Thompson.
How can I help
If you are unsure how to generate leads for your business or make contacts for business on Facebook. Grab a Facebook review. Turn your Facebook profile into a lead magnet.

I love reading your blogs Angela and I especially enjoyed this one of your DMO.
Love, this was an awesome post. Thank you so much this is something that I’m actually working with my team on trying to help them understand that it doesn’t have to be hours and hours and hours a day. You made it nice and easy thank you
Thank you Debbie – I am glad it helped!
Nice to meet you Angela, I am a 70 yr old retired nurse that is working on my new business with Everra. I have had several online business’ but have not been very successful with them in the past.
However, I am finding that with Everra I am actually earning some money with it. So I am digging deeper into some self improvements and only now have realized that the reason I was not very successful in the past is because my DMO was just a jumbled mess of tasks I was trying to accomplish and trying to reach out to people that I did not really know, they were fb friends but not really. No relationships were built with them. So now I making a structured DMO for myself so as to build some relationships with these fb friends that I have (all 1300 of them, lol ).
I found your post very inspiring and truthful, because what you posted is exactly how I was looking at my DMO too. Thanks so much for sharing this very important step in building my business.
Growth is so important with all of it, and you are so right when you say that selling is not the only part of having and running an online business successfully. I will be following you for sure, so as to stay on track with everything, as well as being focused.
Thank you for sharing that with me Ronna – so glad it helped!
