I have some bad news for you.
If you wish to make it online, you must be willing to let go of any excuses you might have.
Here's the cold, hard truth.
Everyone I know that has succeeded online has worked hard. For some people, years went by before they saw any considerable success. They didn't give up. They powered through one obstacle after another... and finally, they tasted success.
You can do it, too. But it will require some elbow grease... and smart work. That's the only way you can shortcut the process and arrive faster.
Here are a few things that you need to start doing immediately - the minute you sit down to build a business.
#1 - Focus
If you look at the tasks that will benefit your business the most - the needle-movers - you'll notice that most of them require focus.
For example, if you need to write an email to your list, you need 100% focus for it to be any good. If, for example, your phone is distracting you all the time with notifications, or maybe you live in a really noisy neighborhood, or you pop open Facebook all the time, the email will be full of mistakes, it will be uninspiring, and it will just feel flat.
The same goes for almost everything else that matters.
Invest in a good pair of noise-canceling headphones. Pop them on. Put a sign on your door so that you're not disturbed. Put your phone out of your sight. And get to work.
#2 - Stick With It
Rome wasn't built in a day. Some things take time.
Warren Buffet said: "You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant".
Sometimes you just have to follow the process long enough to see the results.
#3 - Find The Time
All of us have to eat. All of us have to have a roof over our heads. All of us have to take care of our families.
Which, more often than not, means you have to make money. It's not optional. Either you work, or you don't eat. Simple as that.
Here's the thing. It's ok to have a job while you're in the building stages of your business. It's ok to have other responsibilities, too.
But you have to find the time whenever you can to move closer to your goals.
Let me know how that goes.
And thank you. I appreciate you being on my email list and making it through this email.
To Your Success, Paul Hanson
