The one thing that has always held me back with pushing my business forward is spending more money. It is always scary for people starting out in this business to invest more money before they start seeing results. I am the same.
However, in order to get over this fear have to see things from a different point of view. These are not expenses but investments that are part of my learning process. I’ve learned to be careful with these investments as I have been scammed many many times before. Now I only invest in products that have been recommended by people I trust.
The one thing you have to realise is that if you want to take your business to the next level you will inevitably have to part with some money. This will include buying domain names, hosting packages, additional reading materials, and monthly subscription payments. As long as you choose these additions wisely you should not fear having to spend the money on them.
One final point I would like to make is that most products sold on the Internet come with a guarantee. You should never be afraid to ask for your money back if the product you have purchased does not meet your expectations.
If there is one thing I struggle with more than anything else is the concept of time management. Everything just gets jumbled up and it is hard to see what needs doing. As well as my Internet marketing business there are other things in my life that needs my attention and trying to fit it all in sometimes just does not work.
Everybody is told in order to be successful in business you need good time management skills. So here is what I do try and keep me on track with my business and my life outside my business.
I print off one day pages from Microsoft Outlook which also includes the time and a notes section to the right. I only print of a couple of days at a time because in all likelihood the plans of what I expected to do will change. It is not a perfect system but it allows me to see how I allocate my time during the day and to what tasks I allocate time to. I also keep a sheet of the exact amount of time I spend on each activity within my business. For example, if I was writing a post on my blog I write the time I started and the time I finished. If I moved on to another activity within my business I write those down to. I then compare what I plan to do and what I actually did to see whether I am on track.
How it will look when it is printed
At a later date I can then add up all the time I spent in certain activities and see whether it actually made a difference in terms of income. It also allows me to see what areas of the business I need to concentrate more on.
Everybody needs to set up an effective time management system. It doesn’t need to be perfect it just needs to be good enough to tell you where it is best to spend your time and doing what activities. I still haven’t mastered it yet but it is certainly helping me plan the day-to-day activities.
