1. Have You Made These 3 Blunders in 2006?
==========================================================
There’s less than a day to say goodbye to 2006.
In looking back at this year, I’ve noticed that I made the
following 3 mistakes that may sound familiar to you:
A. Starting a ton of different projects without specific focus
Doing that is a major reason why we get “information overload”
The ability to say no to the new exciting stuff that spring
about all the time in Internet Marketing circles is key to
controlling this phenomenon.
Don’t get me wrong, I buy stuff all the time, however
shifting gears and jumping from opportunity to opportunity
is what we should control.
B. Working on projects that you have no control over
I was listening to the local news and some farmers were
complaining that the government did not send pesticides
on time, so their whole crop was devastated.
Wow! Talk about having no control.
In our little virtual world, ironically, things are not
that much different.
If you choose to be at anyone’s mercy then your business
can disappear in the blink of an eye.
Choose a business that gives you as much control as possible.
C. Wasting time on “research”/forums
This is a big one. If you are working online then you
must discipline yourself. You need to have a schedule
of doing specific tasks that bring in profit, and work
at those tasks, vehemently opposing any distractions
whether that’s called “my friend wants to go for a
coffee” or “I need to visit my favorite forum” or
“I need to learn this new thing”.
I have tons of new ebooks, physical books by Dan Kennedy
and Jay Abraham etc and I used to justify to myself that
“hey I’m learning marketing so it’s ok to not work for
a while and just read.”
I guess our era is called the “Information Age” for a
reason. We can never stop learning. And learning is
awesome, but so are profit activities.
Therefore, I have tried to discipline myself to only
“learn new stuff” after 6 p.m. when I finish work
