It's no different with JVs than it is with kids. Think of it like this: You ask your son to pick up his room. Nine times out of ten (if he's anything like my two) they go in their room, pick up one thing, get distracted by a toy laying in floor, and the next thing you know an hour has passed. You go to check on him to find nothing has been accomplished and the room is still a mess (if not looking worse than when he started.) Solution: Make it EASIER for him - and no I don't mean do it for him because it's easier for you! ;) Send him in his room with the instructions to pick up the dirty clothes and put them in the laundry room. Ask him to return to you once he's finished. When he comes back, ask him to pick up all of his legos and come back to you when he's finished. Keep giving him simple easy to focus on tasks. Don't overwhelm him by saying "Go clean your room." Same goes with business. Don't overwhelm your partners or affiliates with a ton of information or requests at once.
