  • Plan your Work and Work Your Plan

    Plan your Work and Work Your Plan

    It is so important to have a plan to work to.  Now, I don’t mean goals, although these are important in my opinion.

    I have learnt this the hard way over many years and the difference, once you learn your lesson is amazing.

    if you do not plan your work by creating a list of things to do and following that plan you will be like a ship in the open seas without a compass, or SAT NAV these days!

    I also try and do the to do list at the end of the day for the following day.

    For some reason I tend to be able to think clearer about what has to be done  for the following day rather than trying to make my list at the start of my day.

    If you are going to work online in you own internet business then you need to be as efficient as possible.

    Outsourcing is a great way to build your business which you shoul do as soon as posible. However, you will not be able to do it unless you are able to list the job that needs doing in order and in a way that makes sense.

    So get into the habit of making a plan and following it and then, when you come to employing your first member of staff you will already be  a step  or two ahead of most people online today.

    Make your daily list of all the things that you need to do and then prioritise them and start at the most important. another tip is to start the thing that you least want or like to do. Set yourself a time limit and get stuck in. Try to get as much done in the time you have allowed and don’t get distracted. Focus all of your attention on that task.

    You will be suprised at how much more you wll accomplish and before long you will be doing it every day 🙂

  • Making Money Online -One Thing That Nobody Tells You

    Making Money Online -One Thing That Nobody Tells You

    Making money online and working from home is a dream for a lot of us.

    There is a wealth of how to courses available on every different subject you can imagine. Everything from FOREX trading to selling on Ebay.

    The problem is that there is so much choice that it is hard to know what is right for you.

    People get blinded by the temptation of earning their fortune online, they read the numerous sales letter and get caught up in the hype.

    Pressing their buy now button and spending their hard earned cash on a course that fails to meet the promises made.

    The biggest problem however, is not the fact that the course fails to deliver, the main problem is that we all have different talents and abilities. Some of us are good at facts and figures, analysing things and paying attention to detail, others are great at ideas or designing but have great difficulty in understanding html or php.

    The secret to success is to first work out what you are good at and make your decision based on that not on the compulsive, persuasive sales letters that all sound so simple to copy.

    I have spent time searching for something that can help with this decision and there is nothing available.

    I have been involved in a number if different businesses over the years and I have always used other people or companies to assist me in tasks that I was not competent at, or did not like to do.

    Yet, with my internet business I tended to do everything. This slowed me down no-end and meant that I spent days of wasted time learning things that could easily have been outsourced.

    The internet is a minefield and those wishing to get involved need to spend time assessing their skill and ability levels.

    Making money online is easy if you spend time doing things you like and are able to do. so beware of the sales letters and choose something that you are good at before you get going.
