Focus and motivational tips

Hi Guys,

Here's a quick post of thoughts and techniques that have helped me remain motivated and focused in the journey to become a successful Internet Marketer and WA'er.

Thoughts

• Internet marketing is like learning to walk. You will fall down, make mistakes and you will need some help finding your feet, But eventually you will learn to walk and after a while it will become second nature.

• To misquote a famous spiritual leader "Internet Marketing is hard and once you accept that it becomes easy". Plan the work and then work the plan.

Techniques to try for the next 2 weeks

• Imagine that you have got the success you want from Internet Marketing. What does it feel like? How will you be different? Will you be more confident? Will you Have more freedom? Will you be more financially secure? What will success mean to you? Write down a quick list of 5 things that will be different and then take a 5 minute break from what you are doing and visualize yourself at this level of success. Copy this list and place a copy in 5 places were you will see it on a regular basis throughout the day.

• Walk and talk in a successful way :-) I know, I know, but it does work! (however you perceive success to be) for 5 minutes. Science has discovered that this exercise actually promotes self confidence and motivation. Try changing your perceived successful behavior patterns so that you have an expanded choice of behaviors to suit different circumstances.

• Be grateful for what you have and be grateful for the good things that are coming your way. At the end of each day, just before you turn in for the night send yourself an email or sms about what was good about your day. Try to list 7 things and then read them when you wake up the following day.

• Set a goal of at least 5 new things to learn about Internet Marketing each day and mind map these at the end of each day. Build you own mind map library.

Hope these may be of interest and help.

Take it easy and be kind to yourself
