"Why?"
1. "Why" Why are you doing this? Write down what's driving you to do this.
"More then just money" Speak in will, not I would like to. You may be saying, I don't need to write it down or I've herd this before, I know why I want to have a successful home business. It's about clarity and focus. Studies show that when you write something down, the action of doing so triggers a different part of your brain and locks it in alot stronger then if you don't write it down. As Nike says; "Just Do It!"
Example; I will build my online business to $35,000 a month so...
I will be home with my children and I can raise them with my beliefs and values, not those of a day care center. I will attend all my children's school functions. My children will attend the colleges we choose.
I will give generously to the charity or church of my choice without worry. I will be able to help out other family members not only financially but give them some guidance to allow them to help themselves.
I will spend the summer at my lake home because of the portability of my business and pursue my passion... "Fishing"
I will hire the best golf coach and play 5 times a week and master it.
I will set up a retirement plan that will allow me "our family" to live out my years worry free of any financial issues.
I will set up a trust fund for my children that will be my legacy to them. This will allow them to make choices that they may have not been able to make. Get the point...
"Systems"
2. You must be able to plug into an existing marketing system. A system that has resources that are ready for you to plug into. Proven web pages that convert into customers, follow up systems and in house training from proven 6 and 7 figure income earners. To many people let their egos convince them that they can figure it out on their own. Let me ask you a question, if you were going to start a car manufacturing company, would you use all the technology available today or would you just figure it out on your own? Now that may sound like a stupid question but why not learn from people who have already gone on to succeed before you. Learn and apply simultaneously, in other words use recorded webinars, conference calls and so on as instructional classes and when they say do this, pause the webinar and go do it. It doesn't matter how much you know, it's what you apply.
"Mentor/Support"
3. Find a mentor; nothing great has ever been accomplish by ones self. You need a mentor/support system you can connect with, someone that can shorten your learning curve. You also want to be part of a group that is constantly challenging you to help you move forward.
"Plan Of Action"
4. Make a plan of action, make a schedule that you can keep and keep it. Choose a marketing strategy, focus and do it... Video, article, blogging, banners, PPC, Social networking, etc... focus on one and master it. It should be 97% automated at this point, then and only then do you add another. It's real easy to become distracted on the Internet. Focus, Focus, Focus
"Rinse and Repeat"
You may have to get up a little earlier and go to bed a little later but isn't your future worth it? I could never explain in words what the pay off feels like because it's a feeling that is different for each individual but it is universally awesome!
"Learn And Grow"
5.Read minimum a chapter a day of an instructional, inspirational or motivational book every day. This will put you in the top 97% of readers in this country. Readers are leaders and Leaders are readers.
"Correct Focus"
6. This is really important. When I started, I knew nothing about online marketing. I was excited and enthusiastic about what was possible. The first day I felt like I was learning some sort of martian language. My excitement and enthusiasm had turned into frustration and yes, alot of cursing. Now, I have to give credit to my wife here. After several hours I came out of my office looking a little gray in the skin and she asked me what was wrong? I started to explain how I was having a hard time understanding what these people were talking about. Hell! I didn't even know what a URL was. She brought me back to the computer and asked me to show her what new things I did learn. I proceeded to explain all these things that I now understood, that just a few hours earlier I had no clue about. "My Point" Don't focus on what you don't know or understand, focus on what you have learned, pat yourself on the back and keep moving forward. You will quickly come to realize this is not Rocket Science. What you can learn from the right trainers, in 30,60,90 days can earn you a full time income or more. Then you keep moving up from there.
If I am at the lake, I will get up and go down to lake and fish for awhile to clear my mind.
8. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!! "Winston Churchill"
Print this, your Why and a schedule that you will stick to and keep it somewhere you can see it while you are working on your business. Read it everyday
Now! Go get what you deserve, live life by your rules, not someone else's It's all here for the taking.
