Claim Back Your Concentration
November 19, 2008 | By Monika Mundell | 1 Comment »
Do you struggle with concentration while trying to market your business online? If you are anything like most people online, then you probably do. This is a big problem because you end wasting so much time with compulsive obsessive behavior. Such things like checking your emails every 5 minutes, looking at YouTube latest videos or reading jokes.
Believe it or not but surfing the net, like we all do costs us thousands of dollars every single year. Dollars we could earn by being productive and concentrated rather than "just being" or pretending we are busy when in fact we are not.
Building an online business takes probably a lot more concentration than any offline business because of the many distractions that jostle for our attention.
You need to be very strict and disciplined to work undisturbed while being online. Smart marketers have acknowledged this fact and take precautions to shut off all distractions while they are actively working.
Things like setting your Skype to not available, closing your local email provider and writing your blog posts offline are all ways to help you accomplish this.
It takes time to get a system working that allows you to work at your optimum levels, but you should never be lazy enough to not at least try to make it work. The sooner you can create a calm space in your head and around you while you work and shut off any distractions, the more money you will make online.
