Friday Progress

I quote from the Nicheology website:

"In short, it isn't easy to start your own online business"

I hope it never becomes easy! If it was, there would be no money in it.

Not that money is the main motivator, but if I were to run a business, I would want it to be profitable.

If people can't make the effort to succeed online, I don't see why I should try to help them.

Running a business online compared to running a brick and mortar business is different in only ONE way as far as I am concerned:

Lower Financial Risk!

Anyway. My weekly progress.
Well I am on track to make it in time for the deadline. I have completed two tasks and the third task should be complete this evening.

Having said that, this week felt like a complete failure last night, simply because I am not as focussed now as I was before the seminar.

It is a recurring challenge for me; new ideas & learning opportunities get in the way of staying focussed on what I want to do. I can benefit from staying more diciplined in the evenings when I do my internet work.

Next week I have a choice.
I can continue working on 2 - 3 projects with "equal" effort - or I choose ONE action to carry out on each of them, and put in MASSIVE effort & Focus on ONE project to make that leap frog forward.

I have tried the "equal effort" before so I'll try "massive" next week. Although massive in my book doesn't mean much... just more...

garden office - get the price list together.
Blogs - stick to my commitments to post once a day on newbiealert and twice a week on software blog.
Software blog - sign up to two newsletters in the niche.
google - business as usual. launch poster campaign ;o)
money website - focus on masive action:
1. new tip to be written every day.
2. decide on "direction" - email sign up site, ebook, free affiliate site ( which is what competitors do ) or a "sample site" / newsletter which gives away 21 tips, asking them to "buy" access to tips, our future ebooks, discounted tele classes, forums etc.
3. complete all steps required to launch the site by the end of the month.
4. write & post a task list! ( suggestions welcome! )
5. carry out 3 of the tasks on the task list I create.

Should keep me buy over my birthday week... ( I'll be 33 Next Tuesday )

Cheers,
Jon ( still progressing )
