Many a times I have started something only to get distracted especially on the vast ocean of the online world whereby my attention wavers, and yes I have ‘Cremated Toast and Burnt kettle Water’ by getting Distracted lol

Lessons being learnt on WA is to stay focused and be methodical to make progress, manage time, and progress tasks.

There is so much to take in and learn here, and I guess the question is: How do you eat an elephant? A: In small bites / chunks. Hmm that's a daft example coming from a Veggie lol ... But you get the idea of manageable chunks of work.

So to focus, I look at it like a roadmap to success: - Objectives (what do I want to achieve?) Note objectives have to be SMART meaning: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timely

- Strategies (How am I going to get there?) are routes to take to get to the destination (Depends on what your Objective(s) are)

- Tasks / Activities (what do I need to specifically do to get there?) These are tactical modes

Now what success means to me is and will probably be very different to you / others, therefore I suppose definition of success is relative.

Let me try and give an example here:

·Success / Destination = making a good living from Affiliate Marketing

·Objective = Achieve an average of £3,000 a month income / or minimum of £36,000 total income by 12 December 2014 from online ventures (figures used purely for illustrative purposes only :)

·Strategies = Build & Develop successful website(s) that generate traffic and income; Provide freelance services such as: Content writing,Blogging, Design, SEO blah blah blah

·Tasks / Activities = Sign up premium with WA; Undertake training; Research; Identify Niche; source Domain name, Design website, add content, work on rankings etc etc

Note: within tasks you can also have mini objectives e.g. This could be “To have my website completed and ranked and monetized, by 14 February 2014) ; winks valentines day woohoo :)

So personally I have objectives I want to achieve and I set myself 5 MUST DO tasks per day (ESSENTIAL) and a further 5 MAY DO tasks per day (DESIRABLE), at least then I am making some progress

Anyhow, I have only been here a short time and this is my first Blogg on WA and if you have read this far and not stayed awake, you must be an insomniac..kidding :) Feel free to feedback / criticise / ignore

Here’s a BBB TOAST to you all at WA, Be well, Be wise, Be successful :)
