When my daughter was very young, she would wander into my office and want to chatter, see what I was doing and generally get my undivided attention. In the early days I tried to multitask and distract her while I continued to write that very important letter, or finish the project I was working on. Then I would feel guilty that I was wasting our precious time together on work stuff when I could be enjoying my time with her. I swear I could hear the song \'Cat\'s in The Cradle\' co... more...

Do you have a big enough reason to change your poor work-life balance habits? This is your starting point. Is this you? Some years ago, a close friend had an angina attack.

There was little work-life balance in his busy life. He was in his early thirties and being a father of a young child had an effect. I... more...

Not being stressed at work isn\'t a gift that some people possess; it is in fact an effort that only a few of us manage to put into our lives successfully. The truth is that we take more time thinking how to solve a problem we get into rather than thinking of how to avoid the problem from occurring in the first place. Stress at work has a similar story. Almost all of us get stressed at work very easily and very few of us manage to avoid it, though the solutions are very simple. The ... more...

You have to spend time thinking and planning. This requires learning how to think. It requires learning how to plan. The more you research, think and plan, the easier it will be for you to execute your plan. This is quite important and another problem area I have noticed between those who succeed and those who don\'t. Successful people plan and think. They are always thinking.

This is an important part of achievement and success. Most internet marketers I have run across, who are not a success, fall into this problem as well. They do not have control of their own lives or the direction it is going. Instead, they are reactive. Everyone has a choice to be pro-active or reactive. If you allow your bills, frustrations, friends, co-workers and bosses to decide the direction of your life, you will find it very difficult to succeed. On the other hand, if ... more...

If people are always commenting on the amount of time y... more...

You have to have a roadmap to get to your desired destination. You are going to get somewhere, so it might as well be where YOU want to go... * A Specific USP (Unique Sales Proposition). What is it that you want your prospects to do, buy, sign up for? You would be surprised how many people that are marketing online don\'t really know what they want their prospects to do.
