For People who Own an Internet Home Business, Sometimes You Have to Hold Yourself Accountable

February 17th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

I own an Internet Home Business and there are days that are just not worth getting up for. These are the days that Irely on my Time Management system, www.powertimemanagementsystems.com, to pull me through. I just had a tough day, a day that I could just not get anything  going. We all have those kinds of days, the trick is to not have too many of them. On days like this one, you have to hold yourself accountable, if you don’t, you are going to have a hard time making a go of it. Running an Internet Home Business takes a great deal of dedication and perseverance, you need to make sure that you take advantage of all of the tools and resources available to you. Here are some tools that you can use to turn bad days into at least better ones, if not good ones.

  1. You need to start out with a firm written Agenda for the day. I knew I was flopping around like a fish out of water, because I had not written out a clear Agenda  for the day. I know better, and that is what made me madder, and when that happens, we just get mired in the mud even farther. Knowing what to do is worse than not knowing, at least to some extent, ignorance is bliss. I have dealt with thousands of Internet Business  owners, and we all seem to follow the same pattern, when the day starts off wrong, it is very hard to turn it around. Having a written Agenda in place is a huge factor in whether your day will go well for you or not. Do not neglect this important piece of the puzzle.

  2. Salvaging a bad day is worth the effort. When we have let our day get away from us, we have to admit it, hold ourselves accountable, and then try to get something done that will not make the whole day a write off. I was fumbling around all day, clearly out of whack and unable to really get any rhythm going, I knew the whole day was shot, but I could still get a few key priorities done and salvage something. One of my key priorities for each day is to post a blog on the 3 blogs that I have. This very key priority is suppose to be done by 9:00 in the morning, it was already 3:00 and I had not posted on one of them, let alone 3. I knew if I could one, or even two posted, I would at least end the day on some what of a high point.

  It is now 7:27 PM, and I am working on this post, my 2nd one for the day. I will probably not get the 3rd one done, but I will finish this one and have 2 out of 3 accomplished. It will not make up for an almost wasted day, but I will at least gain a small victory.

  3. When things go south on you, you have to admit it, and then in the same breath, start assessing what went wrong and make plans to change things for the next day. There is no shame in falling down, the shame is just laying there and doing nothing to help yourself get up. I am fortunate that I know what I have to do to make things happen for myself. That is a small part of the battle, the big part is to be able to put the tools and systems in place to make things happen.

  If you operate an Internet Home Business, you want to arm yourself with the right tools and systems to get the job done. I hope you visit this blog often and use the tools and tips that are here for. If you have any questions about the comments here, drop me a line, will be happy to provide any help and support I can.  Have a great day.

Goal Setting Review for People who own an Internet Home Business

February 16th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Internet Home Businesses

Most of the people who contact me, own an Internet Home Business. The posts that I had on Goal Setting seemed to be very popular. Here is a review of the first posts that Idid on this topic. Operating an Internet Home Business requires the skills to be able to zero in on your goals, and then to make sure you allocate the time and resources to get them accomplished. I hope you find this review helpful in that pursuit.

  1. Goal Setting is not a one time process for Internet Home  Business  owners.  When you set and establish goals, you need to make sure they get to see the light of day once you set them. Most people, the next time they see their goal setting list is next year when they repeat the process all over again. For more on this, visit,

www.powertimemanagementsystems.com.  The key to this process is this, set a goal , then set out exactly how much time it is going to take to achieve that goal and then, Time Activate that time in your Day Planner. I call this the missing link, people set goals, including me, and we then forget that there has to be an accompanying investment of time. We must always look at our goals and then attach the time that will be required to make those goals reality.

  2. Write Them Down.  Goals that are not written down are very unlikely to ever be achieved. If you do not think enough of the goal to spend the time to get it down in writing, then you are usually sentencing that goal to the not done list, at the end of the year. Part of the process of goal setting is being able to work that goal around, massage it, take a look at from a number of different angles, this is best done in a written formal setting.

  3. Make Your Goals Measurable, You own an Internet Home Business, your goal is to increase sales, make more money. These are not really goals, they are more like aspirations, vague and not easily definable. The best goals are the ones that you can easily track your progress with and can clearly see if you have succeeded or not. Goals that get done are the ones that you spend some time and thought into establishing. If your goal is to increase your sales, you should say, I want to have 3 new customers a week, for the next 60 days, then reevaluate at that time.

  4. Face the Reality of Over Flowing Plates, If you run an Internet Home Business, you probably have several and then a full time job to boot. The issue we are all faced with is this, we have too much on our plates, so much that stuff is falling off  the sides, yet we are looking at setting more goals for ourselves, in spite of not being able to accomplish what we have now. This is why it is so important to allocate time to goals, right off the bat, this way, we can see exactly where we are with time issues and then perhaps we can avoid the disappointment of wanting to do more than we have the time and resources for.

  5. Separate the Goals From the Dreams   Nothing wrong in dreams and in dreaming, as long as we do not confuse dreams with goals. Part of the decision and goal setting process is collecting everything you may want to do into one spot, we call this your Power Living Life List, check it out, www.powertimemanagementsystems.com. The damage gets done, when we just keep piling on our dreams and we  forget that someone has to pay the bill at the end of the night. I recognize that it is important to have dreams, something to look forward to, my issue is that you should be able to separate what is feasible and achievable, and what may have to stay on the back burner, permanently.

  Have a great evening.

Technology and Owning an Interent Home Business

February 15th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Internet Home Businesses

Owning an Internet Home Business these days is not as easy as it looks. I have been involved with people who have an Internet Home Business and this discussion comes up a lot. It deals with emails and cell phones, and whether these two devices help or hinder us.

  Lets start with cell phones. I personally do not own one and when I tell people that, they act as if I am from a different planet. the first question they ask is, how do I survive without one? The answer is always a surprise to them, I survive better now, than when i had one, for a very short period of time. First I have to tell you, I have a website that deals with all things related to Time Management, www.powertimemanagementsystems.com, so my focus is how do things relate to time and our use of time. cell phones and proper Time Management, and owning an Internet Home Business, and being profitable at it, do not go together.

 Cell phones, and other devices of their ilk, destroy a persons ability to ever get anything done.  I am sure we have all seen these people, perhaps we are these people, the ones with a cell phone attached to their ear, almost 24/7. Unless you are a dispatcher for an ambulance company, or a heart surgeon waiting to hear when the next heart is in, having a cell phone attached to your ear is not a positive thing.  I have nothing to gain by saying this,  but 30 years and dealing with t 1,000′s of Internet Home Business owners has shown me that the reason most of them struggle is their inability to actually get any work done. It’s hard to concentrate, stay focus and get any meaningful work done when you have a cell phone stuck to the side of your head.

 This issue is not about having a conversation with a business person, some one at home, it’s about the need to always be in contact with who ever feels they need to communicate with you. It’s is this constant contact that destroys your ability to get, as I have already said, to get work done. You will have to asses this situation for yourself, make up your mid if you are happy with what your accomplishing on a daily basis, if you are, then you are golden. If you are not happy with what happens , then you need to find some answers, and this is where you could start looking.

  While you are looking at your cell phone usage, you might want to look at another classic time stealer, emails. On one hand, you have to love the convenience, on the other hand, they can become absolutely addictive.  If you have an Internet Home Business, you have to have a computer and then you can find yourself at the mercy of emails flooding you on a daily basis. The problem with emails, they are interruptions into your day, a day that is already filled to the brim. Emails are interruptions because, 95% of them are people  wanting youto address issues and  agendas, other than the ones that will benefit you the most.

  That is the real problem with emails. You need to use your computer to run your Internet Home Business and you certainly need to use your email, how to do both and stay in control is the problem. I have a simple procedure that I use and it works well for me. I only check my emails 3 times a day. That is right, once around 10:00, NEVER first thing in the morning, once after lunch and then once with about 30 minutes left in the day.

  Checking emails is a real addictive habit and one that is hard to break. Try limiting yourself to 3 time a day and see if it cuts down on the interruptions to the flow of your day.   Have a great day.

Internet Home Business Tip Number 487, Technology , Friend or Foe

February 14th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

Internet Home Business Tip 487 deals with most of the questions I have gotten up to this point on this site, blog. The questions deal with how to sort through all of the information that is out there and then zero in on what we should be doing. If you own an Internet Home Business, by its very nature, you have to work with a computer and that is where our problems start. I say our because I am not immune to the lure of the Internet and its massive array of content, just sitting there like a spider in its web waiting for some fly.  If you operate an Internet Home Business, you have to learn to avoid the spiders web, if you expect to be successful. First lets deal with technology for just a moment.

  1. When ever I say this, people first of all do not believe me, regardless of what I say, it seems just to unbelievable to them. Here it is, I do not own a cell phone or any other hand held phone type product, zero, nothing. I have not had a cell phone for about the last 15 years. I had one for about 2 years and then just realized that the cell phone was interfering with my success, my ability to get work done, it was just a massive interruption, waiting to happen. I just woke up one day and literally dumped it in the garbage and never regretted it for a second.

  2. Technology, and I will refer to cell phones and their like, as well as computers, as technology, are a two edged sword. On one hand they offer us as a society incredible advancements in communications, material movement, data retrieval, storage and retrieval of data, knowledge and much much more. I think we all get the picture, computer age, the age of everything instant at our finger tips, I get the advantages available to us compared to even the last generation. HOWEVER, there  is another side to the sword.

  3. Despite all of the advancements that technology offers us, are , we as a generation, better off? I have an unique perspective in this discussion, I straddle two generations, I started working with Time Management related issues in the early to mid 80″s, the end of one generation and continued with the new computer age generation which is continuing today. I have seen the effects that the new computer age is having on my generation as well as the new generation that basically grew up with computers. Frankly, we are worse off today than the generation that just started with computers.

  4. I have this on going discussion with my clients , some pre computer generation and some born and raised on computers. The ongoing discussion is this, has the proliferation of computers, cell phones, ipods, hand held commuting devices of every kind, helped us become more organized, gain better control of our time and ourselves, are we in fact happier people because of technology, my answer is a resounding no. Two quick reasons and then an explanation.First, we still have to think for ourselves and this generation is not better at it than mine, so we are still back at square one when it comes to the thinking for ourselves part. The second one is, THIS generation is worse off than the last one because of this massive overload of quick easy accessible information and content at our finger tips, it’s almost like a drug, once you get taste, you get hooked.

  Thinking for ourselves is where we all run into trouble. Running an Internet Home Business is a complex process, we need to be able to make the right decisions and then to implement those decisions into our day to day Agendas, more on that here, www.powertimemanagementsystems.com. Despite all of the technology, we still have to make the final decisions, despite all of the apparent help available to us. That is my point, technology is there to help us, not make the decisions for us.

  Having the world at our finger tips is very addictive. We have all stated a task on the computer, fulling intending to get one specific bit of information, and 4 hours latter, find ourselves in another part of the world looking at a totally unrelated topic. One link leads to another link to another, and half the day is gone.

  Technology, friend or foe is something that we all have to come to our own personal grips with. Whether you operate an Internet Home Business or have a job you operate from home, we are all faced with coming to our own peace with technology.   Have a great day.

Goal Setting Questions From People Who Own an Internet Home Business

February 13th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

 I have been collecting a few questions from people who own an Internet Home Business on the posts I made last month on Goal Setting for Internet Home Businesses. The main two were these;

  1. How do you separate your key priorities from all of the other important things that have to be done?

  There is no  clear cut way to do this unfortunately. What is important is this, you are arware that there is a  difference between Priorities and other important  things and you are attempting to work through this process. I hate to say that this is the first step, but it is. Did you ever worry about separating priorities and important tasks before?, if the answer is no, then you are now miles ahead of where you were before. Do not underestimate this fact.

  2. As far as picking out what is a priority and what is just important, try this. Start picking one key A priority for each day. Try to pick something that is under an hour to get done, those work best. Start picking one  day. Work on getting that one done each day. For more ideas on this, www.powertimemanagementsusyems.com. Try to Time Activate that one A Priority for the morning, if you get jammed up, you still have the afternoon to get it done.

  3. Pay attention to what is happening around you each day. In the time frame that you are doing your one selected A priority, what else is trying to crowd you out of doing this priority? That could be a clue to you, that what you may have picked, was not the top priority, this other task that is competing for your time , may of been a better choice.  I have found that once people start to look at what they are doing in regards to key priorities, they are now more alert to what is really important to them and what are  things that matter, but can wait.

  4. I will mention again quickly about urgent compared to important. Important are things that we want to get done, things that help us move closer to getting tasks and jobs accomplished that benefit us in the long run. Getting important  things done like our key a priorities will be the  deciding factor in whether we get our goals accomplished or not. Urgent tasks, are usually things and events around us that benefit other people more than ourselves. Urgent tasks are interruptions that prevent us from doing what is important to us. A simple rule of thumb is this, urgent bad, important good.

  5. Back to deciding what is the number one  A priority on a daily basis. If you operate an Internet Home Business, you need to consistently accomplish what is important to you, on a daily basis. Having said that, what is more important than that is to get to a place where you are consistently accomplishing SEVERAL of your key A Priorities daily. The long and the short of it is this, accomplishing 3 or more A priorities daily means that over a weeks time frame, you will be covering ALL of what has to be done over that week. Whether you did the Top  3 for each day is not important, what is important is that over that week, you will have covered what had to be done.

    No one is that positve that Task 17 is that much more important then task 23B, if one gets done a day before the other, the world will not callapse. Remember that yesterday, you were not aware that this isssue could so positvly effect your performance, now you do and the benifits will be felt on a daily basis, that is going to be powerful for you. Always bear in mind that improvements and benifiots to you will be benifits  and improvements that you will experience every day for the rest of your life. Nothing else you do will be able to give you those kinds of benifits for so long, from such a small amount of investment up front. This is just another reason why I am such a fan of Time Management, I always like to invest a little, and get such a huge return back. Operating an Internet Home Business means that you need to get the maximum value out of every  bit of time you invest, getting your A Priorities done on a daily basis should in itself, be your daily priority.

  Have a great day.

Internet Home Buinesses Need an Effective Operating System, Try Time Management

February 12th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

Internet Home Businesses need an effective operating system to tie everything together. I have been dealing with Time Management and related fields for 3o years, and believe it or not, this is the first time that Ihave connected Time Management and operating systems together. Once I did, a light went on, this is the perfect way to explain to people the connection between what they are doing in life, the results they are getting or not, and having an effective Time Management System, like this one, www.powertimemanagementsystems.com .

  You can say the same thing thousands of times, like I have, you can have a clear picture  in your own mind, but never be sure if you have gotten your point across to the people you are trying to reach. The saying, its as clear as mud comes to mind. As far as reaching people on the significance of how they deal with their time, I am not happy with my attempts. You would think that after as long as I have been at it, after dealing with thousands of Internet Home Businesses, that I would of gotten good at it. I am good, not just as good as I would like to have been, up to this point. Lots  of time left, I hope, to get it right.

 I do however, like my new attempt at getting people to convert to the time side, the Time Management side.  Here it is. What is the first thing you do when you buy an new computer system? You install an operating system, unless it comes with one already, which should tell us something about the significance of an operating system. If your computer does not have an operating system, it simply does not have the ability to tie in all of the other systems that are on the computer, your computer, without an operating system, lacks the ability to actually do anything.

 In reality, our computers can not actually perform the functions of a computer, without some form of operating system. With this in mond, why do people, us, you and me, try to navigate life without an operating system? Right now, in real time, you could tell me the operating system you have on your computer in about 2 seconds, right? Now, tell me in the same time frame, what is your operating system for your life?  If your are the norm, out of 100 people, less than 5 of them would of been able to answer that last question.

  Internet Home  Businesses need two operating systems to be successful, one for their computers and one for their lives. Yes, there is a difference between the operating system for your computer and the operating system you should have for your life. One of them makes you think, and the other one lulls you into a sense that it is thinking for you ! How you control, manage and invest your time is far too important to you and your success to just leave it to chance, which is what you are doing when you try to fly through life being a passenger, not a driver, for more, www.powertimemanagementsystems.com

 Time Management is something that people look at and dismiss, mainly because they are short on time and want to get to something that is of more value and interest to them. That is a personal choice and one that everybody has to take responsibility for. Its a cause and effect situation, we do something, there is a consequence, and we have to be up to accepting the consequences of our actions.

 Give some thought to this post. Look at what you are accomplishing in life, look at  whether you have an operating system and ask yourself, should your computer be the only one that has an operating system?    Have a great day.

Internet Home Businesses Registration from India, Maybe, Just Maybe?

February 11th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

 

I just received my first Registration from India, for my personal Internet Home Businesses Opportunity, www.hhhmakemoneyonline.com. His name is Hoshiyar Singh and he just Registered to become a Regional Developer. Could this be the acorn that grows into a mighty oak tree? Internet Home Businesses, if they are set up right, can take off like wild fire. I believe the HHH Internet Home Business Opportunity that Hoshiyar signed up for has that potential.

  What do I say to Hoshiyar to help him get started and to help him become as successful as he wants to be and as successful as he should  be? I have spent the last 30 years working with Internet Home Businesses, even when there were no computers! Things have really changed very little, much faster and with an incredible reach, but past that, people still need to be treated with respect and in a fair fashion. Here is my advice to Hoshiyar, as he starts his new Internet Home Business.

 1. Think big, work small. Hishiyar wants to be a Regional Developer, he may want to expand past his boarders, all possible with the HHH Internet Home Business Opportunity. The way to do that is too dream big, and then when you actually start to work, you work on the smallest unit possible, in this case, you want to work on being the best possible Territory Manager in the town, village or crossroads where you may live.

  2. The secret to success in this Business Opportunity is this, get good, then make some money. Getting good means, learn the business, get familiar with what works and how it works. The breakdown is this, become the best Territory  Manager there is, and then you can multiply that success as large as you want. I have always found that the people who want to  be successful, really successful, are not afraid to put in the ground work to make that happen. Internet Home Business owners are people who make the sacrifices required to get the job done.

  3. Multiplication and  Internet Home Businesses were made for each other. The Internet allows one person, to stretch across the globe. Hoshiyar is capable of building his business in India and then expand across the world, without leaving his house. The HHH Internet Home Business Opportunity was specifically set up to allow and to promote this kind of viral growth. It all starts from one persons  dedication, work and sacrifice.

  4. Successful Regional Developers will be the people who recognize that the way to become successful yourself, is to help the people who you are working with and developing to be successful first. The term that I use is this, work through your people. Work beside them and behind  them, make sure that they have all the tools and help that they need to succeed. by doing this, you are ensuring your success at the same time. The more successful your Territory Managers are, the more success you as a Regional  Developer will have.

  I have said in the past, all the HHH Interent Home Business Opportunity needs to take off, is the help and support of a few dedicated people at the beginning. A few people who have the ability to recognize the opportunity that is here for themselves, can and will make a massive impact on the organization as well as their lives as well. Perhaps Hosiyar Singh from India, will be one of those first few people, who knows?      Have a great day.

Questions on Time Management for Internet Home Businesses, Your Bridge to Success

February 10th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Internet Home Businesses

Internet Home Businesses need to have a way of getting where they are now, to where they want to be. If you are making all the money you want, and are as happy as you expect to be, then you can skip this post. For the rest of the Internet Home Businesses owners, we all have a decision to make, how do we bridge the gap, the gap between where we are now, and where we want to be. My position is clear, the bridge that I am using, is Time Management. In other words, the way that I will better and improve my Internet Home Businesses, as well as my self, is to be able to control and manage my time better, ergo, Time Management.

   For those people who follow me on my Time Management site, www.powertimemanagementsystems.com, this next comment is automatic. Time Management, when you break it down, is really self management, how you manage and control yourself in regards to your use of time. If you operate an Internet Home Business, and have not come to grips that the way to become more success hinges on your use of time, then you have some ground to cover.

  I use this term to describe my Time Management philosophy, as well as The Power Time Management System, its a;

      ”  Time Management Operating System to Help You Maximize and Enjoy Your Life to the Fullest ”

  I used the term operating system because in this day and age, I think most people can relate to the term operating system. It seems really odd that no one would even consider trying to operate their computer without an operating system, but seem to be perfectly fine trying to run their lives without one! The fact that most computers come today, with an operating system already installed should tell you something about the importance of an operating system.

 I am in a difficult spot here, regardless of what I say, it will appear that I am simply trying to sell my Time Management system. That is not entirely true. I will be posting blogs on this site, almost daily, and in those blogs, you will be able to gather and gleam a great deal about what constitutes Proper Time Management, for free. You can also go to my site, this site, and there is a ton of free information, all on Time Management. I would like you to do, one of two things though. Yes, you could purchase the Power Time Management System, I know its the best one on the market, or you could get enthusiastic about Time Management and go on the Internet and find something more suitable to your way of doing things.

  Either way, I hope you decide to make  Time Management your bridge to success. One last thought. Start to invest 15 minutes a day on your future. That is not a lot of time considering what is at stake here. Spend that time on investigating and learning about Time Management, here or at a site/ sites that you feel comfortable at. It is all about time invested in, benefits back out. Spend 15 minutes a day on this powerful maximizing topic, you will not regret it.   Have a great day.

Internet Home Businesses, the Bridge to Success Lies Over Time Management

February 9th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Internet Home Businesses

I have been dealing with Internet Home Businesses and Time Management for more than 30 years, you would of thought that I would of said it all by now, but I guess I have  not. My job is to try to get people  to realize that the way to get more out of life, is get more out of their time. It makes  sense, time is the stuff that life is made up of, the more value you can get out of what life is made up of, the more value you get out of life itself. Makes sense to me.

The point of this post is simple. I just came up with a new way, a better way of showing the relationship between you getting what you want out of life, and time management. It really is just an image, an image that makes sense to me, but then, I am one of the converts. Picture this, you are on one side of a stream, on the other side of the stream, are the things you want out of life. What there are, only you know. The question is, how are you going to get across the stream, without getting wet, to get at your goals in life?

That is always the question, how are we going to get from where we are now, to where we we want to be. 30 years and 60,000 plus people latter, the ” bridge ” from where people are now, to where they want to be is and always has been, Proper Time Management. The picture, the image is crystal clear to me, we get from where we are now, to where we want to be , by using Time Management as the walkway, the path, the bridge. For more answers, www.powertimemanagementsystems.com

We all have to use our own path, we all have to find our own way in life, that is the struggle of life. My own experiences have shown me that the path to take, the one that will get you more of the best results will be if you choose to use Proper Time Management as the bridge between where you are now, to where you want to be. I have always found that I personally respond better when I have a clear picture of what I want to do, and I do mean a clear picture. The picture I have in my mind is  me on one side of a stream, and what I want is on the other side, my goal is how do I get to the other side, without getting wet :) My Time Management bridge is the perfect image. What image do you have when you think about where you are now and how you are going to get where you want to be?  Have a great day.

Goal Setting For Internet Home Businesses, In February?

February 8th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Internet Home Businesses

Why the heck would some one who owns an Internet Home Businesses want to read a post on a Blog about Goal Setting in February?. Maybe because they want to be successful. I received some positive response to my posts in January and I wanted to finish off the series. Before I go on, I want to address the point about goal setting in February. Most people set up goals at the beginning of January and then they move on, they leave the goals in the dust till next year when they do the whole pointless process all over again. If you operate an Internet Home Business, and you want to be successful, you need to integrate your goal setting into your day to day activities.

 A quick note, as some of you may know, one of my key goals for this year was to post on my 3 main blogs, EVERYDAY. This blog being one of them. How am I doing, not as well as I would like. Since the beginning of the year, I have had two major legal issues come that have taken up way too much of my time. That time was stolen from my key goal, the blogging. This is the classic situation of someone, myself, being taken off his Agenda and moved to working on an other Agenda. Yes, the classic, working on the urgent, not the important.

  I would say that under difficult times, I have been able to do about 80% of my goals in regards to this goal, the blogging. This goal is really important on a number of levels, I show this importance by making sure this stays on the front burner, gets Time Activated into my Day Planner every day and I work hard on making the time for this to happen. I will get closer to 100% and  I will get 100% compliance on this, that is what a number 1 a Priority deserves and gets, if you are serious about making it happen.

 One more point, before I get totally off track. As with everything, you get better at it the longer you do it. I am not talking about the actual blogging, I am talking about the process of getting the time to do the blogging. I estimated that it would take me less than 3 hours to do the 3 posts. I make my posts between 600 and 800 words, article size. this way, my readers get some meat, and the post can double as an article latter on. I also use the posts  as outlines for content in my Power Time Management Systems, www.powertimemanagementsystems.com , never hurts to double up on the output from a single source of time outlay.

 I am getting better at spending the first 3 hours of the day for this task alone. I find that if I can do all 3 pots at the same time, I can stay focused and get them done better that way. that was the plan from the beginning and that part is working well. The trick is to not let other tasks creep in there and separate the posts, when this happens, I get off track and by the time I get on track, the day is gone and so is one of the posts. I usually get  two of them done, the last one gets lost sometimes.

  I challenge myself daily to get this goal done, I win more times than I lose, this sets up a positive feel for the day. the days I win, I am positive, upbeat, and always get more done the rest of the day. That is one of the reasons I set the first 3 hours of the morning to get this important goal done. I know that I will usually have a winner right off the bat, and I know that will help me for the rest of the day. If you own an Internet Home Businesses, try this momentum builder. It works best when you know that what you are setting up for the first task of the day will more often be a winner for you. Small victories build up over time and the momentum you build can help immensely.

  I always say, Time Management is more about self management than managing our time. They are so closely intertwined that it’s impossible to separate them. Have a great day.
