If you are like me and suffer with ADD (Attention deficit disorder), apparently there are millions of us, then completing one task before going onto the next is a challenge.

Those that do not have it tend to find working with those that do frustrating, to say the least. We tend to lose interest in things very quickly, have poor memories and do not like getting into detail. Just give us the facts, the bottom line. Can we or cant we?

For me, my mind works at 100 miles per hour and I come up with some amazing ideas, even if I do say so myself. I can solve problems quickly and easily, with almost lightning speed, where others spend days going into the detail and never coming up with any solutions.

Now, there are times when this is good and times when it is not so good. If there was a problem on a lunar mission and peoples lives were at stake then I imagine my slap dash approach may not be  welcomed. However, for your every day problem, where the lives of others is not an issue then my get things done attitude is a real assett!

There I go again, digressing from my main topic another common problem with us ADD suffers.

So, my point is how do we stay on track and get things done. I have tried writing lists, keeping a diary and numerous other ways to ensure I stay on track but very few of these work for me.

I have got better over the years and I do use a project management system for all my staff which takes so much will power on my behalf you would not believe it.

The one surefire way to get things done on time is to make yourself accountable to someone other than yourself.

If you work for someone else then this is not an issue because you have accountability to your boss, you have to perform and be seen to do so otherwise you will be out of  job. However, if you work for yourself then there is nobody there to crack the whip and I believe that we ALL need some to be accountable to as it definitely improves our performance. Well it does mine anyway.

It can be a friend, your partner or your mentor, (if you don’t have a mentor, get one they really make a difference) By letting them know what you intend to do and when you intend to do it by.

Since using someone to hold me accountable, I find it so much easier to focus on that one thing until complete.

It is fair to say it is a trick of the mind but it works.

If you are having a problem getting things done try it. You can even use me if you like, email me with what you want to get done and I will stay on top of you cajoling and pestering you until it is complete.

Until next time.

Happy Christmas From The Hester Family

We hope you have a great Christmas and enjoyed our video message.

I have now removed it and will put up a new one next year

I just wanted to say Happy Christmas and a very happy new year to everyone that reads this and I wanted to thank you for all of your emails and messages. I appreciate it a lot. I hope I have been of help to some of you and made a difference.

I am going to try and do more in the New Year by way of basic SEO information for you guys to help you get top results easily.As I have often said it is not difficult and you do not need to be a brain surgeon or super technical wizz to get results. You just need a methodical approach and a system and bobs your uncle

Also, I am going to finish my start smart method which will help those of you that are procrastinating and don’t know what to do to make money online. It should give you guidance and a strategy to follow.

It is not difficult if you do the research first and choose wisely what you are going to do before you jump in with both feet, or fly from one guru millionaire maker promise to the next.

You need to make a commitment and do each part in order and have patience. (do as I say not as I do on that one   )

2009 has been an adventure for us as a family and we have had a great time.

2010 is going to be a good year, I can feel it in my waters. We are off traveling a bit next year. Australia, Malaysia, Vietnam and maybe the good old US of A. So loads of good things to look forward to.

Life is an adventure and every day a blessing so enjoy it relax and have fun.

An old friend of mine used to say life is all about having fun and making money and, the more money you  mak the more fun you can have. So, lets make some money and have some fun.

Happy Christmas once again and here’s to a successful 2010.

Best wishes from

Lloyd, Sharon, Katie, Daniel & Morgan

I have setup a step by step guide related to this post but in more detail here  Lightning fast results in google

You can get to the first page of google a lot easier than you might think.

The most important thing is NOT to try and trick them. DO NOT do anything naughty as they will come down on you like a ton of bricks.

Make sure you provide value and make it interesting reading for your visitor.

I have consistently managed to achieve page one results for a number of varied search terms from non specific sites in just a few hours.

There is no secret to it and I am going to show you the steps.

• You need to have a blog which is indexed in google and has a few posts. The subject does not matter but you do need to have unique content.
• You need to have a ping list added so that the post gets picked up
• You need to have a number of social bookmarking accounts.

Optional – You can automate the social bookmarking by owning the Auto Social Poster Pro plugin. This a great piece of software that is worth it’s weight in gold.

You still pay the same price

I have also setup a step by step guide Lightning fast google results

Update. This post is now in google top 10 for 3 different phrases. lightning fast google results. Check it out.

IT is also number 3 in yahoo for lightning fast rankings!

I was always told you need to focus on one thing and that taking a shot gun approach to things gets you nowhere and boy, I can tell you that this is true. You need to take clear concise and focused action in almost anything that you do if you want to succceed. Mrk Joyner talks of straight  lines the shortest point from a to b and dont deviate from that path until you have completed the task. One task at a time.

When it comes to off page SEO however, then you really need to take a scatter gun approach. Now don’t get me wrong, I am not talking about running a disorganised SEO campaign but, you need to use a multitude of different strategies and methods all at once to really have an effect.

I speak to a lot of people who have been trying to improve their rankings by using one method or another but they do not diversify and wonder why the results are so poor. Article marketing is a great way to build back links but it not not the only method by far. Google and the other search engines (are there any other search engines?) are not daft, far from it and if they see an unnatural growth of links to your site from one or a few article directories then you may well pay the price and end up in the dreaded sandbox.

By using various techniques at the same time you will build better stronger backlinks to your site which will improve your stature within google.

So, I suggest that next time you come to do SEO on one of your sites that you carry out a range of tactics such as web 2.0 site creation, social bookmarking, Videos, article marketing, pinging and posting on relevant blogs, forums and groups.

You will see a marked improvement in your rankings sooner than you think as google will see natural and varied link growth that does not shout out I am trying to beat the google system.

There you have it proof at last that a shot gun approach to something is actually a good thing.

Don’t delay try it today.
