Now, one of things that I do and one of the things that I think it is absolutely critical for part time internet marketers is that you need to work on your business every day. Habits that you form as a part time internet marketer are the most important tools that you’ll have in your business.
The first habit that you develop should be that you work on your business every day. Not a day goes by literally that you don’t do something on your business. Now, maybe you make an exception for Sunday, because of your religious preferences, but what I mean is there’s not a day that goes by where you go, “I just don’t feel like working on this today. I’m going to just watch Grey’s Anatomy instead.” You have to avoid that.
You need to make consistent progress and stay motivated. One day will turn into two days, and before you know it a week and a month will have gone by and your dream will be sitting on the couch with you watching the latest episode of Private Practice.
The other reason, and this sounds very much like a Tony Robbins thing, but I absolutely promise you this is true, if you keep the project that you’re working in front of you in your conscious mind you’re subconscious mind will offer you up solutions. This is where these ideas come from that people have in the shower and while they’re brushing their teeth.
You put these ideas in front of your conscious mind all the time, whatever problem it is you’re working on in your business, whatever course it is you’re trying to develop or information product or website and you run into problems that you’re conscious mind can’t solve, your subconscious mind will continue to work on those even when you’re not aware of it and it will present solutions for you.
If it’s out of sight it will be out of mind and you won’t get that benefit of having that subconscious mind working for you. A lot of research on that, don’t take my word for it, go check it out. That’s a really powerful way to get work done.
Another thing that I tell people that’s really important is internet marketing is a marathon, it is not a sprint. You need a strong steady consistent pace for a long distance in order to win in internet marketing. It’s definitely a marathon and not a sprint.
If you adopt this very important habit of working on your business every day without fail, one thing is that you’ll accidentally accomplish more than you think. There will be a couple of days in there where you’ll intend to work a little bit and you’ll work a lot, or you’ll get lucky and be online at the right time to get something accomplished. Whatever it is, I don’t know what it’s going to be. Things will land, as we say in Texas, jelly side up. It will be good for you to work on this every day.
