Hi everyone, it’s fair to say when you start out with your IM business it’s easy to suffer from “Information Overload” with so many offers landing in your inbox with soooo many ways to make money online it’s difficult to focus on one thing.
I have in the past spent many hours planning a strategy with a particualr method of IM and then when the next offer comes along, jumped and started re-planning all over again. Spending so much time doing this meant I ever actually got started. This does not help your motivation and belief!
So I have put together a few hints and tips to help you to prevent this happening.
- Start by picking a single IM method that is simple and you feel able to work on. Stick to this method until you have mastered it.
- Write a plan of what you want to achieve everyday, it could be – I want to find 10 new Facebook friends, or I want to follow 25 people on Twitter.
- If you have a job, set a timetable of online business hours for each day and what you will do in those hours.
- On your day off from work spend a morning or afternoon of good quality time building your business, but make sure you still leave time to spend with family.
- Have a friend, online business buddy or family member who believes in what you are doing track your progress and give you a gentle nudge if required, this works great for me.
- Know what you want to achive, know the end result! Constantly revise your goals, I now know what I want to achieve and by when.
- Display your goals where you will see them everyday,. A great way to do this is to create a dream board that displays a mozaic of pictures with all the goals you want to achieve. This will serve as a constant reminder and keep you focused and driven.
- Step out of your comfort zone, this is something new that we have to learn! We have to work at it. Building a business online is a skill just like anything else, you cannot become a carpenter or electrician in one day, it takes time!
The most important factor - Stay motivated and don’t give up! Only 3% of people achieve what they truly desire - let’s be part of that 3%.
