Don't be fooled by the ads you read... the ones that say that you can succeed in building your online business working 3 or 4 hours per week. Here's the real bottom line. Initially, when everything is new to you and you're having to get everything set up and organized, it takes quite a bit more than even 10 hours a week. It takes more like 20-30 hours a week, so just accept that. After the set-up is done and you're through the learning curve... then a few hours per week are sufficient. "But you gotta get there first!" If you're married and have a full time job, then it can be a real challenge to find the time necessary to get your business off and running... especially during the "oh-so-critical" start up phase. So how DO you find the time?? The solution to this problem BEGINS with a clear understanding of the stakes involved. Once that understanding is reached, it will be easier to make a real commitment to do WHATEVER it takes to succeed. So, just what is at stake here?? Most people who start an online business do so without any real commitment... or any real understanding of the implications associated with success or failure. That understanding usually comes later... if it comes at all. The "Newbie" is excited about the obvious potential "Online"... but doesn't have a clue about how to translate that potential into dollars in his bank account. On the other hand, the Professional has mastered the critical skills that bridge the huge gap between potential and reality. The Newbie can barely make enough money online to pay his expenses... while the Professional has the skills and tools to make a fortune. Online Marketing is really less than 5 years old. Before very long, it will be the dominant worldwide marketing medium. Anyone who understands the implications of this fact, and has the vision to take advantage of the timing can become wealthy within the NEXT 5 years. So, again I pose the question... just exactly what's at stake here?? For most people, it's just a few bucks. No big deal one way or the other. But for a few of us, the Internet presents a golden opportunity to learn the critical skills... and to get paid while doing so. Now back to my original point... How are you going to find the necessary time to get this business up and running? You
STEAL it... Here's how it works... make a list of EVERY single thing that you do on a DAILY basis. List it all... sleeping... eating... working... brushing your teeth... shaving your legs (you guys need to quit that anyway)... fishing... watching TV... golfing... whatever else you do... Once
you have everything listed,
Now take your categorized activity list and STEAL from Category 3 AT LEAST two hours a day. (Three hours is better.) If you can't find enough time in Category 3, then move into Category 2 and steal more. But whatever it takes... get it done. Once you have this time identified... Then tattoo these words into your right palm. "For the next year, these 3 hours a day belong to my business!" Here's why this is so important... You can SPEND time or you can INVEST time. Time SPENT is gone FOREVER. Time INVESTED WISELY will return to you compounded into days, weeks and even years of quality free time... free time to do with as you please. We
always find the time to do the things If you clearly understand how important it is to develop these fundamental skills, then you'll find it easier to make the upfront investment that true success requires. If you're too busy to do this exercise, then I hope you already have everything in life that you've ever wanted... because right now, you are exactly where you will ALWAYS be!
