Hi, all,
I have had one of those weeks that I thought would never end. I have been going down-hill for a few days and this week has seen me spending most of my time in a daze.
When this forum started I joined several free opportunities being pushed at Adland (yes, I can afford 'free') that were going to provide me with spill-over and income as a result.
Guess what. Not a single cent has been earned in any of these 'do nothing' opportunities.
Now, I am not stupid and got the results I expected from doing nothing but so many people really believe this nonsense.
(Please - believers in 'The Secret' don't tell me I 'manifested' my failure unless you can answer my question about three dead wives, two dead children and a life time of cancer!)
One thing the week has taught me, though, is that once the work stops - so does the progress. Isn't that strange?
How do you choose what you are going to do?
1. Be sure you can do it.
2. Be sure you have sufficient time to do it properly.
3. Be sure to actually utilise the necessary time for your business.
4. Be sure there is someone on hand to help.
5. Once you have made a choice and some progress - stick with it. The easiest habit in the world to get into is that of giving up because there is another opportunity just around the in box.
6. Apply effort, effort, effort and then a bit of effort.
7. Don't take yourself too seriously - in 100 years, who'll give a damn?
