Focus is Critical for Money, When You Start an Online Business
Author: Glen Jacobs
Characteristics of Successful Internet Business Owners Who Make More Money – Confusing Simple with Stupid
Focus – Belief – Motivation
Focus Equals Success – No Focus Equals No Success
(No Exceptions and No More Money)
Focus - One of the three most important entrepreneurial skills to master
It is as simple, as it is profound. YOU MUST HAVE A TO-DO LIST. Those with To-Do list are successful and make more money. Those without To-Do list do not. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Strangely enough, the masses of unsuccessful online business owners decide that making a To-Do list is just too simple to make a real difference, so they just don’t do it. They decide that they will try something more complicated, because smart people must do only complex and sophisticated things to be successful. But…more often than not, money and success never come based on this thinking. Unfortunately they have confused simple with stupid!
You only have to look as far as your To-Do List to see why you haven’t been successful, or able to make money. If you haven’t been successful, I’ll bet you don’t have a list.
YOUR TO-DO LIST (OR YOUR MAKE MORE MONEY- CASH TASK LIST)
Your To-Do List must be written.
Your To-Do List must be Realistic and Attainable.
Your To-Do List must be updated at the end of each day. NO EXCEPTIONS
Try it and see. You will find out that when you make your To-Do list at the end of each day you will subconsciously start working on the mental planning and problem solving of accomplishing tomorrow’s CASH TASKS before you sit down to work the next day. As a result your thoughts will be more organized, and you will be able to complete your tasks quicker and more efficiently.
Finally, you will see that you CAN make more money with the best on line business. There are no crazy laws of attraction or anyting going on here, it is just how we were created to think, solve, and accomplish.
If you decide to make To-Do lists for both personal tasks and business tasks, they MUST BE KEPT SEPARATE AND ALLOCATED SEPARATE BLOCKS OF TIME TO ACCOMPLISH!
There are hundreds of things you can do for your business every day, but only 24 hours to do them all. You are pulled in seemingly endless directions.
So…….. you have to choose which CASH TASKS you will need to accomplish in order to add money to your bottom line.
A Simple (and far from stupid) Strategy
Ask yourself, “Will I get cash if I accomplish this task?” If so, the task is classified as a CASH TASK. If not it is classified as a THEIF TASK that will only serve to steal income from you every day. Allocate a separate part of your day for administrative duties, ONLY AFTER accomplishing your CASH TASKS. You can work over time to accomplish the THEIF TASKS. Although important, they are not vital to making income. It is like organizing the shelves of your store, but never opening the doors for business.
Your To-Do lists can only include CASH TASKS that will add income to your business and help you make more money, otherwise you won’t be in business very long.
Talk to your sponsor/mentor/business coach and determine the top 6 CASH TASK that will start earning you money in your business. Realistically, depending on what business you are in , some tasks can be time consuming and require a large investment of time. So, if the top 6 CASH TASKS cannot realistically be accomplished in one day, then break each of the large CASH TASK in to 6 smaller cash tasks. Begin working on the first major CASH TASK by accomplishing the 6 smaller components, and do NOTHING ELSE until they are all accomplished. (No phone calls, no e-mail, NO SURFING THE WEB, no household chores, no balancing your checkbook, etc.). Then Start on the next major CASH TASK in the same way, until all 6 top CASH TASKS are completed.
Right now you might have that inner feeling of quiet desperation. “But you just don’t know how much I have to do and how far behind I am. I have so many important things to do. I haven’t accomplished anything earning me money in weeks or, even months on my business. There is just no way to sort through all of this!”
Relax!!!!!! Ask yourself right now how many CASH TASKS you actually completed today, yesterday, last week, and even last month. Chances are, not to many, and maybe even none.
Now if you start your To-Do list today, and accomplish your first 6 CASH TASKS, at the end of the day you will have accomplished 6. After a week 30, after a month 120, and after a year 1,440 CASH TASKS ACCOMPLISHED.
I know that while reading this today, you can feel hopeless, overwhelmed, and paralyzed with anxiety. But just complete tomorrow’s CASH TASK To-Do list and you will be on Your Direct Path to Success.
If you accomplish anything close to this you will be considered an extraordinary entrepreneur and one of the most successful business owners on the Internet. More money, prosperity, and success are yours for the taking. Run a Simple business, and you will no longer feel stupid or ill-equipped for the tasks ahead.
Here is a simple To-Do List for today
1. Clean up your office or desk and group everything into task you need to accomplish (Small binders and dividers help). Organize your sites with a summary sheet of Site Names, Usercodes, and Passwords.
2. Separate the CASH TASKS from the THIEF TASKS
3. Call your sponsor/mentor/business coach and find out how to prioritize your CASH TASKS
4. Put the top six CASH TASKS on tomorrow’s To-Do List and set aside.
5. Take care of any important administrative task you can today. (Tomorrow these same task will become THIEF TASK, until you have finished your CASH TASKS To-Do list)
6. Turn off your computer and phone(s). Go spend time with family and friends, and remember why it was you wanted to start home based business anyway. Thank God for your many, many blessing and get a good night sleep. You have 6 CASH TASKS to accomplish tomorrow!I
Get started now for a great 2008.
The BEST is yet to come!
