Having the commitment to do what I must do every single day of the week for at least 3 hours a day without taken a day off.
Now that’s fine if you have no other commitments but, when you are working full time and have a family to support and a partner to care and look after because she is unwell, it becomes more challenging.
So yes, I find it’s hard to keep motivated at times especially when you are getting home late in the day and you still have 3 hours work to do on your business. Sorry to say this, but there’s not much time left in the day to sit down and watch TV.
That’s how it is for now and it’s probably the same for most people.
I have often seen myself working up to midnight knowing full well that I have work in the morning. I know it’s not ideal but I must do this to move forwards otherwise it’s just going to take me so much longer to achieve my long term goal of not working for someone but for myself.
That would truly be a huge step forward
We so often overestimate what we can achieve in such a short space of time, but we can also underestimate what we can achieve over a longer period of time.We all have to put in the work load continuously and some of you will be thinking, why everyday?
You are just going to burn yourself out and be totally miserable.
Not spending your free time with loved ones, friends and going out and taking in that fresh air. And guess what, you be absolutely right.I know I work too hard and yes I can be depressed and miserable.
All I think about is I must do this to succeed ( there’s that word again..must do) or I may as well count my losses and just give up.
Well, that would be a lost of 5 months hard work. All that knowledge I have in my head right now is just going to waste.
But guess what?
The one thing that keeps me motivated and moving forwards is about creating a better life for my family, my friends and lastly myself.
I don’t want a millionaires life style, I just want the financial freedom to spend time with family and friends without having to work that 9 to 5 job, 5 days a week. What a waste of time away from doing the things that you could be doing.
One of the things that was taught to me at the very beginning of my online journey was what my mentor Dean Holland had said. Time is more important then anything else in the world, more important then money itself.
You see, you can have your fancy car, big 6 bedroom house, fantastic holidays two or three times a year, go to your favourite sporting events and be happy.
The one thing you do not have is time.
Today is gone but tomorrow will come and go as it always does.
But, you can never get yesterday back.
It’s gone for good.
Time is more precious then anything we have with the exception of our loved ones.
There is one thing you and I can do to alter that perception that will work in our favour.
Buy more time!
I know what you are thinking? How on earth are you able to buy more time?
Well, you and I are in the perfect place to do just that.
Affiliate Marketing can give you the opportunity to do just that.
You may not become a millionaire marketer in the years ahead but, it is absolutely possible for you and I to create a full time income of $3000 plus per month every single month working from the comfort of your own home.
How good that would be to be in a position where you work for yourself and be with your family every single day doing the very things that you want to do and when you want to do it.
It’s so possible for all of us to achieve.
Become a acton taker and take the first step, but please remember, no one is going to do this for you. You have to do this first step yourself.
Dean Holland’s Book ,which is free, will give you a good insight to what Dean went through in his early years as an affiliate marketer and what he has done to get to where he is now as a very successful business man and mentor.
So this week I decided to go through the online training course again to refresh my tired old brain.
Improving your concentration is as simple as making your daily activity as simple as you can and give yourself time to reflect.
Try brain training exercise such as Lumosity, a great free site where you play a set number of games that will challenge and improve your ability to cope better.
Your brain as your very own personal gym, where you can exercise your memory, attention to detail, improve your people skills and feel so mush better with yourself.
Here is another great site brainhq.com, this site however is a subscription service and will charge you a monthly subscription of $8 per month if you take out the yearly subscription and $14 per month for the monthly subscription.
There are of course many free apps which you can sue on your mobile device. Anywhere, the choice is your to make.
So my training this week covered the simple steps of building your business with the attention focussed on your as the new business owner.
This process is made up of modules where you have to complete each one before moving onto the next stage and so on.
These modules are designed to lead you through everything you need to know and do to win as an affiliate marketer in today’s affiliate economy.
Having full clarity and an understanding on how online business works will give you a competitive edge over your competitors.
In terms of the business itself, by deciding to launch a digital business from home with offer you multiple benefits. This will eliminate huge overheads associated with investing in a brick and mortar office or physical shop.
Minimal capital investment means less risk which will allow you to spend more time and money on advertising to grow your email list and business.
By focusing on your audience and by providing them with a solution to there problem, will have enormous benefits for you.
The internet is a huge never-ending encyclopedia of information.
Which is why you need to have the “can-do” mindset, so if you think you can do something, then take action and find out the information you need to do it, even better find the person who can help you achieve it like a mentor or coach.
You will never ever be able to do this yourself
Most people give up far too easily when the information is out there just waiting for them to grab it.
The truth is that every successful internet marketer works very hard. Sorry to burst the bubble here, but its better you learn this now. It does take a lot of work to set-up your own internet marketing business.
It is important that you stay as productive as possible. When you go full-time you will continue with this routine of productivity, allowing you to make even more money in less time.
Switch off all your email alerts – continuously checking emails is the most important tool of the serial procrastinator – only visit your email account once or twice a day.
By working in stints of one solid hour and then taking a short break will allow you to focus more on the key task without distraction, will dramatically increase in your productivity.
By creating your own to-do list will give you a clear idea of what you hope to achieve. This will not only drive you but also identify your progress enabling you to tick off each task as you complete it.
Keep a daily review of your progress.
Tracking the progress you’re making is essential for sustaining motivation, also, if you had a lazy day you can spot it and this should drive you on to make up for it the next day.
I be honest, I have had a few lazy days and it does knock you off balance.
I tend to catch up on my day off from work and over the weekends.
Help this is some kind of help for you
Thanks for taking the time to read my post
