Planning is vital for success.
In anything that you do. If you do not plan you don’t know where you are going. You may have a vague idea but without a plan how are you going to get there?
Before we go any further, i just want to say, don’t get caught up in planning!

I know we’re talking about you have to plan but you also have to take Action.

Now, I know people that do this. There are people that will spend a week creating a plan. Then they’ll spend a day doing it and then they’ll go: oh, I need to replan. And they spend another week replanning. That’s their life. They just create plans and there are some fantastic plans but no results, because they don’t take Action on their plan.

We are talking about planning here. But there has to come a point when you stop planning and start doing. And that’s very, very important. You have to make sure that you start taking action.

So get a plan together and say, right, that’s good enough, I’m going to go for it and take action. Don’t then turn around and say, well, I’m going to replan all and spend days doing it.

If you need to change your plan, change it, but keep taking action, keep moving forwards because if you don’t, you may not see results, you are going to stop and you are going to fail basically.

The reason you need to plan is it keeps you focused and heading in the right direction.

Internet marketing is one of those subjects which are constantly changing. There are always new techniques, new websites, new product, new best things since sliced bread that you have to have and you can’t possibly live without.
Planning will keep you focused and keep you from getting distracted.

If you know you’ve got to create three websites a day, then you get your three websites a day done. If you got any time leftover, sure then you can go out and do some of this other stuff and mess around with it but otherwise you stick to your plan.

What you’ll find is that if you plan you are going to make money a lot quicker online.

People who don’t have plans end up jumping from idea to idea to idea without really much of a thought about what they are doing. And then a year or so down the line, they turn around. They go, “Why haven’t I made any money? This Internet marketing stuff doesn’t work.” But it does work. It works very, very well, but you’ve got to have a direction.

Let’s face it. If you’re driving somewhere and you don’t know where you are going, you look at a map, don’t you. A plan is your map in life basically to make sure that you get to where you want to go.

It’s so easy to sit there and lose a day searching through forums and reading information and learning new techniques and then suddenly you realize you got so much information in your head that you’ve no idea what to do. Because, yeah, you could use Amazon or affiliate or C Pay or this or that or the other, which you do. And you sit there with pretty much information overload.
Its way, way too easy to do that.

So your plan is important because it’s going to keep you focused and it’s going to make you realize that right, I need to focus on my tasks on hand today, check my vision, create content here, go through some processes tomorrow or a sales letter tomorrow and maybe a video course a day after and so on.

Plan for Success

So you know exactly what you are doing.

It’s too easy as well to be distracted by new techniques, new information, new websites, new products you know. You read a sales letter and go, oh, I’ve got to have that and you buy the product. You sit and mess around with it and then you suddenly realize that a week’s gone by and you’ve not done anything on your plan at all. So that’s the bad news really.

A plans going to help you keep focused. If you don’t stay focused then you are going to struggle to actually succeed.

What you’ll find is, it be a year later and you will still be there, not earning any money, spending lots of time and effort on Internet Marketing but not really getting anywhere. And you don’t want that, do you?

You want to get somewhere and you want to succeed. A plan itself is going to help you to keep that focus and that’s why it is important you do one.

Now, I personally always do my plans on pens and paper. I get away from the devices as much as i can. I look for inspirations in the enviroments im in, wether it be interior designs, natural scenery, Or i go somewhere inspiring and peaceful that will inspire my creative ideas, and I sit down and I do my plan there, because I’m not going to get distracted.

If you sit at a computer and you try and do it on the computer what happens is, a quick email, my Skype messages. you check those and Oh,so on and so on. And then you don’t get anything done.

Take a pad. Take a pen. Get away from the computer and technology. Write your plan out. You can type it up later. I tend to keep mine in pen and paper format because it’s very easy for me to cross things off and add things on as I need to.

I am constantly focusing on that plan and I know exactly what I need to do.

Now, All the goals people set in life, two stand out: success in our personal and professional lives. It turns out, these two are interdependent.
Personal success supports and reinforces professional success. Professional success reinforces personal success. And together, they reinforce life’s most important pre-suit – Happiness

That’s why both goals are also on top of everyone’s agenda, especially younger generation, as they begin the life journey from their parents’ nest.

How are these goals achieved? What does it take?

If you ask Rhonday Byrne, she’d tell you it’s The Law of Attraction.
Byrne argues in The Secret for the power of positive thoughts, which she says will act as a powerful magnet to bring things your way, and help you to identify and externalize your internal strengths and capabilities.
Put good things in your mind, and good things do happen. Byrne

While positive thought may be a necessary condition for bringing out strengths and capabilities, it isn’t sufficient. Maybe you are exceptional in drawing, dancing, cooking, or some other field. That’s where you ought to position yourself.
You must find your own “element,” your passion– the right field of study, the right occupation, sport or activity that matches your inner strengths and capabilities — which you might or might not even know you possess.

Besides, luck, being in the right place at the right time often makes a big difference – which is why you should be willing to try and try again, learning how to endure failure.
“There is plenty of luck to go around; you just need to keep your hand raised until it’s your turn,” – Adams.

If you drill down into any success story, you always discover that luck was a huge part of it. You cannot control luck, but you can move from a game with bad odds to one with better odds. You can make it easier for luck to find you. The most useful thing you can do is stay in the game. If your current get-rich project fails, take what you learned and try something else. Keep repeating until something lucky happens.

The problem is, however, we cannot keep trying forever. Our life journey may finish before we raise our hand a sufficient number of times to take advantage of what statisticians call the “Laws Of the Universe” – which provides equal chances for each possible outcome to occur.

Besides, getting your turn to succeed won’t work unless you can execute, and steer away from harmful behaviors, enviroments that destroys whatever progress you have made towards success. That’s where other secrets may come in: get your priorities right; use your resources wisely; stay focused; develop the right relations; don’t over react your ideas; and have fun.

Plan for success. Your half way their. Allow the fire works go off in your mind and transform these into you efforts towards your online business.
