When I first began doing well in the infoproduct business there was one single trait (besides my writing skills) that I attributed to profitability.
If I hadn’t incorporated that trait into my life at that time, I don’t think I’d be sitting here writing this blog. I’d be in the bed, resting up for my 9-to-5.
Don’t get me wrong… Occasionally I still struggle to fully incorporate this particular trait into my life. But I’m finding this particular struggle is lessening in intensity. It was a hurricane several years ago. Today it’s a light breeze.
So what is this problem? What do other infopreneurs frequently confess as their biggest downfall?
Lack of focus.
The inability to complete one project at a time, without being mentally sidetracked by another idea that appears 1,000 times more profitable. The grass always looks greener on the other side-syndrome.
Although it frequently masks itself as (ahem) ‘productivity,’ it is anything but. At the very least you’ll constantly be running around in circles, never truly achieving your highest potential. And left unchecked, it can completely ruin your business.
Frustrating thought, isn’t it?
To know you have this problem, and yet also be working with the emperor of focus grabbers - the Internet.
I’ll be honest with you, 60% of solving this problem involves implementing nothing but sheer will power. If you can’t get it in your mind to stay focused, you won’t.
The other 40% of the “magic pill” is a plan. And I’m not talking about writing your goals down and taking it from there.
That stuff doesn’t work for people like you and me. My notebooks and online files are LITTERED with traditional lists of goals. Lists that I write and never look at again.
Just like a diabetic needs to follow certain dietary restrictions, you need a plan that fits your type of business personality.
And what’s worked for me is outlined in Business Goal Bootcamp.
Business Goal Bootcamp is a plan that I outlined for myself several years ago when I let my lack of focus nearly ruin my life.
It wasn’t something that I planned on releasing to the general public. But I’ve been seeing such positive results from my clients who have used it, that I decided it might be a good thing for all.
As 2008 rapidly descends upon us, New Year’s resolutions are in the works for many.
Don’t keep playing the same “I-can-do-it-game.” It doesn’t work. I repeat… IT DOESN’T WORK.
Check out Business Goal Bootcamp, and set the stage for a productivity and success.
