To make money online, we previously discussed two focus points – 1. read as much as you can before you spend any money, and 2. pinpoint what your niche will be so you can be as specific and laser targeted as possible. Here are a few more suggestions as you get started online making money.
3. Organization. Pretty simple concept, but extremely difficult to implement. If you do not plan out your day, you are going to lose. So much time is wasted randomly surfing without any specific plan in mind.
Each day you need to choose 3-5 things you want to accomplish and actually accomplish them! That means they need to be SMART goals.
- Specific
- Measurable
- Attainable
- Relevant
- Time-bound
One of my secret weapons in day to day operations is a basic blank notebook. In the morning over coffee, I write down my goals for the day. Some days they are not hard to accomplish, other days they are a bit more labor and time intensive. But as I move through my list of goals, I check them off and have a real sense of accomplishment.
This level of focus is imperative you want to succeed and make money online. You probably are very aware that time can get away from you when surfing the net, and next thing you know your day is shot and you have accomplished absolutely nothing.
In addition to daily goals, it is also important to look ahead and have weekly and monthly goals. For me, these longer term goals are a little less exacting, as I tweak them as I move through the days and week.
In the next post I will give you another tip you should consider when getting started making money online. Follow along and with persistence, focus and patience, you will see success.
To you success and freedom,
Dean
