Learn To Succeed By Focusing On Your Business

by Mark Thompson

The majority of Internet marketers are being held back because they fail to focus on their businesses. This lack of focus relates to both short term and long term goals. Long term focus relates to what you eventually want to achieve. Ask yourself what do you want to achieve over the next 10 years. Do you want a new house, a boat, a Ferrari or just to be free from money worries? Whatever it is make a note of it. This is what will drive you onto success

I knew someone who wanted to move out of her cramped apartment into a nice house. She searched the Internet and the local real estate offices until she found her dream home. She then got photographs and plans of the house and placed them on the wall behind her PC. Those photographs and what they stood for were her focus, whenever she felt demotivated she would grab a coffee and stare at the photographs and repeat to herself “I will have that house” Soon she was motivated again. Just over a year later she finalized the purchase of a similar house.

The other type of focus we need to consider is short term focus. Lack of short term focus will stop your attaining your long term goals. How many times has the following happened to you? You go to your PC to build a site but before you start you check your email, you find something interesting so you browse the Internet for something related. The next thing you know 2 hours have passed and you’ve done nothing!

The secret to maintaining short term focus is to get a system together that you can stick to. Each morning I will start my PC, scan my emails for anything urgent then close down my emails for at least 2 hours. I make sure that Skype and Yahoo Messenger are off and then I will work for a set amount on time or until I have completed my task. Only then will I read all my mails and fire up my IM tools. Once you start to focus on your short term goals then your long terms goals will be within your grasp.

You should also make a point of eliminating as many distractions as possible. Ask your family to respect your work time. If you explain to them why you need to be left alone then they will support you 100%. Try to turn off your cellphone and put any pets outside. Become your own strict boss!

If I had written this article 2 years ago I have no doubt that it would have taken me a few hours to prepare and write. It actually took me less than 20 minutes because i was able to focus on the article and nothing else.

Go and focus on what you want, make it happen. As one of my favorite mentors always says… “Waiting is the favorite past-time of failures.”
