There are a number of factors that will determine your level of success in the Internet Marketing world. One of the most important is time management.
One of the hardest things for anyone in this business to learn, is where to focus your efforts to be the most productive.
I continuously read statements saying, I make more money now and spend less time working. I have no doubt this is true, but is that an option for someone who is just starting in this business?
Longevity itself, brings more experience, more contacts, more customers, name recognition. I could go on but you get the picture. A lot of the options that come from just being around for a while, are not there when you first start out.
This is true in most any business, not just those on the Internet.In fact, I believe the lack of time or the misuse of time is the number one reason, only 2% to 5% will end up being successful.Why does time management become so important?
The majority of people attempting to start a business on the Internet are still working another job. This allows a limited amount of time for most.This makes it even more important, that you spend your time wisely.There is no book or table to look at and know how to break up the hours that you do have available. But there is one thing you must do or you will have no chance of success.
Educate Yourself
Everyone is trying to cut corners, save a little time. Do Not and just to make sure this sinks in, Do Not, under any circumstances cut corners here.
I don't care what path you choose in life, without learning the ropes so to speak, you are not going to succeed.
Too many people think they will just learn as they go and disregard the education at the moment. You can and will learn as you go but the best time management tool you have is the ability to educate yourself now.
Human nature makes us want to think of today. The thought process tells us, we only have three hours we can possibly work. I need to accomplish something now, so I need to spend the entire three hours working towards a result I can see.
There are so many things to do. Work on your website, write ads, send in some ads to ezines that accept free ads. And the list goes on and on. There is so much to do and so very little time to do it.
I hear that little voice saying, I just don't have time to read and study today.
Resist the temptation to spend the entire three hours doing these tasks. Take at least an hour of that time and spend it educating yourself. Look beyond today and tomorrow.
It's a very hard thing to convince yourself to do. It's hard to see a big hunk of your time spent and not be able to see some visual results.
The more knowledgeable you become, the easier it is to manage your time.
The more time you spend educating yourself, the better the chances are that you will be one of those saying, I make more money and spend less time working.
