Seriously … great post Nicole! Follow the money trail girl!

I’ve actually started outsourcing some of my work so that I can focus on the things that are really making me money, but not lose the other things that are important to keep my business growing and I know that before too long it will all pay off!

I have actually been doing a pretty good job lately keeping my focus on the money-making activities. My website clients have been coming first. And ONLY when I have a short lull do I spend time working in my website. (Notice, I said “website”? I’m focusing on ONE for now.)

Lately I’ve been trying very hard to maintain working with blocks of time, and doing what Brian Tracy calls “single handling”, working on one thing at a time.

Also to keep at it until it is finished when ever possible (if not, to be sure that I pick it up first at the next opportunity instead of something else)

This is really helping, as I am also the “queen” of starting things and not finishing them, major waste of time even if I am focused!

take care,
Jan

It is very easy to be sidetracked in several different directions. I may follow a link to an e-course about report writing or e-course writing, etc. My main goal for my site is to produce original articles to market. All the other areas are great, but as I said I am just beginning to learn about internet marketing.

I love dramatic, creative writing, and there is a place for it, but not for what I am trying to do with my business. I home school my 9-year-old son through a virtual academy and I am in the process of writing some informational articles pertaining to that. I have learned that it is informational content that sells on the internet. It has been a little difficult to believe that I have knowledge about some things that others may want or need.

Anyway, I guess what I am trying to say is, I need to pick one area, like article marketing, and learn to do that successfully. Then I can pick another area to learn and add it to my business. Otherwise, I find myself going off in different directions, but not accomplishing anything.

Thanks,
Anna

I recently opened my third site, and I’ve discovered I’m definitely focus-challenged (smile). Thanks for the encouragement.

Now, I’m going to look at my ‘baggage’ and see what I’ve got. I’m going to start with deleting myself from newsletters I don’t have time to read anymore.
