am I insane?

Maybe I am truly insane?
 
Nuttin' for sale here, just an open "HONEST" letter to you!
 
You know I have been an internet marketer for years and had my BIG share of failures.
 
It seemed every time I thought I had FOUND the magic button that I was excited only to be let down again and again?
 
THEY Say … and I am not sure WHO "THEY" is, but anyway –
 
"The definition of INSANITY is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results!"
 
I guess by THEIR definition I WAS "INSANE" when it came to Internet Marketing.
 
Did I belong in the loony bin?
 
So, how did I change the vicious cycle?
 
Well, one morning I woke and decides that I was going to follow the lead of SUCCESS.
 
I had been around long enough to know some of the great names in Internet Marketing and I decided I was going to "Model" what they were doing.
 
Did it work?
 
Well, kinda …..
 
Let me explain.
 
Following Success is something that is HARD to do.
 
I had several mentors that had different models of their own success.
 
ONE thing that I started to do was make sure I do NOT get distracted until my immediate task was done.
 
I learned real quick that "small" completions of tasks on a daily basis was "WORKING".
 
It's hard to stay on task when you are holding a JOB, have a family and are staying up late at night chasing your dreams of being a superstar on-line.
 
Try this!
 
Get a pocket size notebook.
 
EVERY night when you go to bed, write down 7 "small" things you are going to do the next day to advance your business.
 
Now, don't write down MORE and Don't write down LESS…
 
Why 7?
 
I really don't know, but 7 is not 10 and 7 is not 5 so it is do-able.
 
It's not too many and it's not too little.
 
Now, don't write down long hard tasks, these are SIMPLE and Achievable tasks.
 
Before you go to bed the next day, make sure you get these 7 SMALL tasks DONE.
 
If you can finish them before 10 A.M. – Great… your done for the day and you can PLAY.
 
You don't need to make this hard, and some days you may not finish til' right before you go to bed.
 
Just make sure the TASKS are realistic and do-able and make sure you complete them.
 
It's that easy. HONEST!
 
So the next night you are doing the same thing!
 
Writing down another 7 Tasks you will accomplish for your business the next day.
 
Keep that cycle going for one week and I "GUARANTEE" that you will have completed 3 months worth of tasks for your business doing it the way you are now?
 
This email was ONE of my tasks for today.
 
Really, give this a try and then share YOUR results and story with me.
 
I want YOU to see the Success that YOU Deserve and know … you "DO" deserve it.
 
I plan on creating at least ONE email a week to do my best to Make A Difference in YOU as a reader.
 
Hope you enjoyed today's lesson, NOW take action and make it happen!
 
I would LOVE to hear your thoughts … Please, leave me a "Comment" and share this on Facebook with someone YOU care about!

  • If you follow a dream, you got to be a little nuts, but it´s a nice way of being a looney. After all is there anything better to do with your life? That is what keeps me jumping out of my bed every morning.
    And yes I like the 7 things to do list everyday. I do something similar, but I´ll stick to seven. I like the number.

  • Realy I enjoy the lesson
    thankyou very much

  • Mark,
    You make some interesting points and time management is critical to improving your business especially when if you have a full time job.

  • Hello Mark

    Thanks for the lesson, but Mark, what if one gets the notebook, and just before bed, takes it out to write down those 7 tasks.. and “Brain Lock” – Just does not know what do do anymore?

    What would you Suggest?
