Goals and goal setting

There’s a famous saying, “Failure to plan, is planning to fail”. It’s a near certainty that if you don’t have clearly defined goals for your business, and a clear plan to achieve them that you won’t succeed. However, many people start an online business without clearly defined goals, and then wonder why they never see the success they desire.
I’m lucky that I was introduced to the concept of goal setting from my time in Network Marketing. I was encouraged to set big goals by my mentor and …

Information Overload, Procrastination and Your First Success

How much time have you spent reading blog posts and articles about making money online? How many hours have you spent in forums reading, and asking questions about affiliate marketing? How many ebooks, videos and home study courses have you spent money on, hoping to learn the secrets to Internet Marketing?
Now the big question… how much of what you learned have you put into action?

As you probably already guessed, I bought the book because of the title – I mean who wouldn’t buy a book called that? It’s right up there with Think and Grow Rich and Shut Up, Stop Whining and Get a Life as one of my all time …
