Can You Make Money on the Internet Without Focus?



Business improvement
Do you know what the main difference between successful entrepreneur and unsuccessful entrepreneur is? Have you ever tried to achieve something and failed? Have you ever thought that one of the main reasons for your failures might be due to lack or loss of focus? 




Lack of focus and organisation are the main causes of failure in business and in every aspect of life, no exception! This is true no matter what you want to achieve in your life and business is no exception no matter what business you're in.


If you want to make money on Internet you need to be efficient. To be able to be efficient you need to be focused at the task at hand. It is simply this. There is no way you can hope to be successful without focus. But what do we really mean by focus here?



What Focus Is?


Make money on the internet

Focus is the one of the main important skill in life. If you lack of focus the chances of your success are reduced greatly. Too little focus and you will float from one task to another and any movement forward will be slow and unpredictable.

Focus doesn't mean you just sit in a silent corner for hours successively thinking on what you want to do and how to do it without action. It just means that you need to have a clear idea of what needs to be done and to spend the appropriate time doing it until you see results without interruption.


- Focus acts like electricity. You can't see it. But, you can see how it affects marketers when it runs through them. To make money on Internet, you must make yourself an expert in one field or niche. The best way to do this is by sharpening your focus. Before you start to create your home business, consider these simple tips to put the power of focus to work in your business:


- Focus is powerful. It is something amazing. It happens always when you choose a small niche to focus all your energy and attention on. You will find yourself quickly becoming an expert and authority so that you run that particular niche completely, within a very short time. When you experience this powerful result of focus, you will not even need to break into a sweat to make money on Internet.


- Focus increases your self-discipline. Focused entrepreneurs are able to decide between the jobs that bring them closer to their financial freedom and the daily demands that only waste their time. They don't get overwhelmed by all the urgent but insignificant jobs that demand their interest.


- Focused entrepreneurs know where they want to go. When you have a focus, you have a vision of what you want to achieve. Above all, focused entrepreneurs concentrate on reaching their goals. Focus helps you measure your results and readjust your game plan when necessary.



How to Increase Focus So That You Can Make Money On Internet Faster


Post reminders for yourself. Hang your favorite motivational signs where you'll see them. When an idea for a product creation, marketing strategy, etc... seems to be going nowhere written reminders can help you recover your focus.

Set daily priorities. Be sure you have an action plan for every day. As you become more skilled business man and as you learn from your mistakes, this will become second nature to you. But, you will always need to do this. Always go back to your list of priorities before you jump into a new task.


Make the plan a numbered list and cross each item off as you finish it. You will be amazed at how quickly you get through it this way. Once you have reached the outcome you want, move on to your next task following the same pattern as before.


Complete the task you're working on before you start a new one. We all want to create as many revenue streams as possible. This is a basic part of what we do as Internet marketers; but you will only make money by getting your tasks done one at a time. 


People who lack focus find themselves getting excited about a new idea before they have finished a project. If you have fallen into the habit of leaving projects undone, you suffer from a lack of focus.

Keep an idea book with you. When you're working on an idea for one projec
t, it's not uncommon to get a stream of ideas that could be a starting point for other great projects. Don't let your next "great idea" cause you to lose your focus. 

Jot it down and keep working on the first project. Stay focused on one project until it's completed. Don't start work on another idea until the last project is up and running on the Internet.

People who succeed in almost any field shut out distractions, they always have-to-do-lists. The lists that tells of the tasks they need to achieve at any particular time and they stay completely focused on the tasks in hand. The person who knows how to stay focused will get results.

Stay focused on your vision. Write the vision for your project where you can see it every day. Remember Your vision will keep you focused so you will see challenges as opportunities for personal growth. If you get stuck, narrow your options and choose a single point to talk about.

Making money on Internet is simple but not easy as most of you think. Be determined that you will succeed, stay focused on your goals and the path will become clear to you. Creating your first project will give you an incredible boost of confidence, which in turn will make it so much easier to get started on the next one. 

The more goals you reach, the more confidence you will have in yourself and that will fuel the success of the next goal, and the next one after that until there are endless possibilities for you.

What Business Model You Want To Run?


This is our seventh lesson in the series "How To Start Work At Home Business On Strong Basis" In this lesson we will discuss what business model you want to run and you should decide a model from the day one.

There are many ways to make money online. Online business is one of the most risk-free and least expensive ways to be in business for yourself today. But it can’t be done for free! You would expect some investment to be made, like office equipment, hosting and domain name fess, autoresponders fees, marketing budget, etc…

From day one you should decide what business model you want to adopt. This will make things much easier. You will then be able to know hat you need such as equipment, marketing budget, skills, etc…and concentrate on your chosen model, rather than jumping form model to model.

Your business model depends on your budget, abilities and the time you have available. The beauty of it is that you can create an expensive or as cheap business as you want. There are so many models to choose from.

What is a business model?


The business model describes the way in which a company makes money. Some models are quite simple. Some other models are complex. In general, to make money a company produces a good or a service and sells it to customers. Read more by going to QuikMBK at http://www.quickmba.com/entre/business-model/

Internet business model differs from offline business model. Online business models might not be so clear. There are many ways in which these businesses can generate revenue. For example, some make money by providing a free service and then selling advertising to other companies, even as others may sell a product or a service directly to online customers, etc…

There are MANY models you can use to make money online with, the key is in deciding on one you’re comfortable with and stick with it.

For example you can run:

Now, at this point, it's up to you to make the decision on what business model you want to use and start. What I want always to emphasize is, even if you have big budget to start with, start small. Then, when you start making money and profit, you can expend your business.

Start spending money on little things that you wouldn't have before. Hire some employees to help you, outsource some of your low-value but time-consuming tasks to free your time for more important business matters, etc…

Determine Your Small Business Financing needs

This is our eightieth lesson in the series "How To Start Work At Home Business On Strong Basis" In this lesson we will discuss how to determine your small business financing and where to find great deals on equipment and supplies to purchase and build longterm wealth.

Small business financing are nothing compared to the brick-and-mortar businesses, but you still need to make some minimum investment to launch your home business.

Starting a small business on a shoestring budget doesn't mean you can create a business for free! There's a small investment required up front to get it operational. If possible, it is better to start small, use your savings, and not worry about repaying a debt.

So, how much exactly do you need to have available to start your online home business? Find out how much starting a small business really cost.

You can use this Internet home business decision-making tool to decide how much money you need to start your business.

Often starting a business cost more than anticipated because there are more fees and small expenses than expected. But, by following a few simple steps you can help to cut the costs and save money.

Budgeting is very important when starting a business as many people find themselves constantly spending money on things they don’t need to get started. Always try and spend as much as you need but don’t be silly with the money, materials follow the law that if it is expensive it is good. Although it may not be worth what you are about to pay for it and you can probably find it cheaper elsewhere.

Determining your small business financing needs is crucial. Always budget for more than you are willing to spend that way if something comes up like an extra cost somewhere or something was more work than was thought out, then you are prepared for it. If you don’t budget then you will keep on spending and keep on forgetting where all the money is going. It is always the little things that bite you in the backside.

Home business start up capital is easily cut down by making sure you only buy what you need, there is no point purchasing something that you’re never going to use. That would just be silly and wasting money!

Costs are a very if not the most important factor in any business creation basically because you need money to start and run your home business, you can't get anything for free these days but you can minimize on the cost of things by a great deal by budgeting!

Once you budget all of your expenses, take an action to accumulate more money so that you're financially ready for a career move.

You may find it difficult to arrange funds for purchasing what you need to start and run your business especially if you are on tight budget. But don’t worry there are various options available to you without breaking your budget.

To reduce the cost of your small business equipment, furniture and fixtures, you must apply the following rules:
  • Look For Free Stuff – Try visiting the thousands of “freebie” sites on the Internet before buying business supplies. You can find free tools, software, graphics, online business services, etc....
  • Borrow Or Rent – Have you ever purchased any kind of equipment and only needed it for a short period of time? So, look around and you can find what you are looking for. You can borrow the equipment from people you know or see if you can rent it from a rental store.
  • Trade – You can trade almost anything new or used. You can trade items and services, business barter or home exchange for a vacation, boats, cars, homemade crafts, or even your time or the skills you've acquired. It's free! Try to trade for something before you buy it. Finding people to barter with can be as simple as telling your family, friends and neighbors. Just ask them to tell people they know. You can register for an online bartering service for free.
  • Used but not battered – If you can use used equipment and/or supplies, buy them. Used computers, Cars, desks, Shells, file cabinets, etc… can be found at garage sales, used stores, free publications, message boards, or online at http://www.buyused.com, http://www.ued-ed.com or any other service that much your wants and needs. Some excellent items are sometimes offered when a company decides to change place or is closing.
  • Wholesale/Bulk Buying – You can save money buying your business supplies in bulk quantities. You can use an online auction such as www.ebay.com or any of the other services to buy items wholesale. You can also buy your items from an offline auction in your area. I buy most of my office supplies/paper through a wholesale service, and delivers them to my door. No carrying from store to car to office, which save me time and money. Great deal huh!
  • Network – Could you trade traffic, email lists, leads or mailing lists with another business similar to yours? This will cut down on your marketing/advertising costs. If you don’t have an email list, try bartering your goods or services for their leads.
  • Plan ahead and prepare – Make a list of supplies or equipment that you’ll need in the future. Watch for stores that have big sales, and purchase your items when they go on sale before you need them.
  • Negotiate - This has become a lost art. You should always try to negotiate a lower price for any business equipment or supplies. It doesn’t hurt to try. Pretend you’re talking to a used car salesman. If you can master this art you will cut your small business costs at least by 30%!
Just remember! Not all millionaires have obtained their wealth through heritage; most of them were smart business dealers.

Small business financing is within your reach. Credit is available from commercial banks and other landers. But as a small and home business starter I suggest you use your main resource which is your own pocket. Invest your own savings or ask for help from your family or friends. Remember to start small and think big. Start small in an area of your business where there is low risk and a clear business BENEFITS associated with the project and expand your business as thing begin to grow!

Don't be another online victim. Watch this video and discover the truth!

Getting Organized to Ensure Home Business Success

This is our fourth lesson in the series "How To Start Work At Home Business On Strong Basis" In this lesson we will discuss how to get organized to do more work in less time, minimize pains and increase your bottom line.

Taking the time to get organized is just the first step. Maintaining organization is the solution for helping you to remain effective in your work. Getting organized will help you move quicker in the direction you want to make money working from home! Sometime new business starters (me included) are in such a hurry to see their business up and running, and forget about getting organized.

One of the things that will speed up and improve your business is getting organized before you start your home business. No, I am not a highly organized person but I have found some tricks along the way that have helped.

1 - Decide What Part Of The House To Use!

Find an area where you can work, giving consideration to efficiency and the eventual expansion of your business. Whether you will be working in a spare room or rent a workshop area. Any area will do even a corner in your kitchen, if it can hold your business supplies and equipment, and also provide security and independence.

Give yourself the space to do the reading, writing, planning, answering your phone calls, or any other task you want to achieve. How frequently you work at home and how much solitude you need will help determine the kind of space you require.

No matter what space you want to use to work from, you need enough light to see what you are doing without damaging your eyes.

2 - Organize your home business office

A computer, printer, bureau, filing cabinet, task chair, and bookshelf are the essentials. What I suggest the most is to have a comfortable chair! Working on computer for long hours is very hard. A chair that is not comfortable can cause discomfort or pain that will interfere with your performance. It will be very hard to concentrate and you will want to leave!

When organizing your home office, the first and foremost priority is going to be all that paperwork. The worst thing that has happened to me is when looking for a bill, a phone number, or important information I just can't find it! Even though I know that it HAS to be in there somewhere.

Make sure that all your essential things must be within reach. One can get a corkboard to pin important dates on to remember, a small drawer to hold the stapler, pens and other documents. If you needs to make or receive calls, the phone should also be placed at at a comfortable dialing distance nearby or beside the computer so if it rings, the individual can easily answer it. Other persons prefer to use a whiteboard rather than a corkboard to jot down notes or reminders. The choice is yours. Just make sure all your things are well arranged in a way that you can find and use what you need with no waste.

3 - Organize The House And Yourself!

To have more time for business, organize and simplify household routines. Have a family conference and divide household duties, making sure each person does his or her part. Set up a planning notebook to keep track of appointments, things to do, calls to make, errands to run, shopping, etc. Finally, set up a work schedule so TV, neighbor's visits, snacking, and telephone calls won't sidetrack you.

While planning every thing is highly recommended, you definitely do not have to plan every minute of your day to be organized. The planning task is to estimate in broad terms the potential demand for different levels of care. Never overload it. Your daily plan should always allow you time for spontaneity.

Getting organized doesn’t stop at arranging your home business office furniture, or brightening it up with some pictures. Getting organized means also having the ability for:

- Time management: You need to have the ability to effectively manage your time and prioritize your tasks.

- Decision-Making: Identifies problems, gathers data, and develops and assesses alternative courses of action when necessary.

- Initiative: A practical self-starter that maintains a high level of efficiency without close direction.

- Focus on your businessLack of focus is one of the main causes of failure in business and in every aspect of life, no exception! This is true no matter what you want to achieve in your life and business is no exception no matter what business you're in. You can make money on the internet without FOCUS!

4 - Determine How Much Time You Can Spend On your Home Business work!

Many people start a home business on a part-time basis while raising children or working outside the home. Others start full-time when family and finances allow. However before you begin, figure out how many hours per week you can devote to the business. Make a weekly chart of your activities, examine it, and determine where the business fits. Don't assume you have time and find out later... you don't.

Good personal time management skills are important for a successful career. There are more skills involved in time management than the core basics. Skills such as decision-making, inherent abilities such as emotional intelligence, conflict resolution and some other critical thinking are also essential to your personal growth.

I’m a firm believer that getting organized is key to success. Organized and skilled people are enjoying life. They're achieving their goals.They are getting things done in no time frame. They don’t waste time searching for lost items, or re-doing things. They don't miss appointments as often as the rest of us do. They can find the time to do what is needed and things they love, and to spend time with family.

Home Business Training And Business Courses


There's an old saying that goes like this "If you think education is expensive try ignorance" Well said!

Education is considered to be one of the most important and essential things in a person's life. 

Fundamentally, education is what separates successful people from unsuccessful people.

You don't have to pay one penny to learn how to build a home business if you don't want too.

Home Business Training And Business Courses are free if you know where to look.

Business Training is an essential way of improving the performance of your home businesses by empowering your skills and knowledge. But, the volume of information is overwhelming, and the quality can be difficult to judge. 

If you don’t create a learning guide to help you organize self-teaching activities and gives you all the information you need you may spend months or even years in the research and training phases. So if you want to jump start your learning curve create a business training plan and stick to it.


What is a Business Training Plan



A business learning plan is personalized action plan designed to help you set and meet timed deadlines for completing goals. It’s a document that maps out what you expect to learn during the training, what your objectives for the training are, and what do you aim to achieve. 

Learning objectives are brief statements that define results expected in a specific period of time.

It might fit on a single sheet of paper. It could be as simple as a goal with a few steps. So what is the big deal? The big deal is without a learning plan you can't go anywhere.



Get your business from the ground up!



Preparing A Personal Business Training Plan To Start Jump You Learning Curve.




  • Evaluate your skills and classify your capabilities to know where to start learning.
  • Set your educational goals. It is important to be as clear as possible about your educational goals and expectations. The best goals are stated so that it will be clear whether or not you have achieved them. In this case, setting a goal means making a decision about the type of skills you're going to earn and find out how to reach them.
  • Be specific to exactly what you want to accomplish.
  • Assess your learning needs and find out how much time and money you need to invest.
  • Decide on learning priorities. Once your learning needs and priorities are identified the business learning plan can be developed.
  • Get the necessary resources. Search for your resources, put them together or know where you will find them and start your work.
  • State in measurable terms results to be accomplished.
  • Be realistic, but challenging.
  • Review and update your plan regularly as your needs and skills change.
Although developing a business training plan is your responsibility to ensure that this is done. We encourage you to discuss it with your family, friends, or anyone you think can help. Enlist the guidance and assistance of other resource people.

At first I suggest that you start by reading every thing you come across. Read, read, and read some more; read lots about different subjects, but keep it general. 

Read about marketing, finances, yoga, cooking, traveling, gardening, dog training, cars repair, sports, etc.... keep it general and don't read intensely. 

If you don't have time to read just skim, don't try to soak in every word. Seek information from experienced people about subjects that interest you.

The key about reading is to get great ideas such as home business creation idea, marketing ideas, product creation idea, website promotion ideas, business development ideas, etc.... 

Sometimes ideas come from things you see other people doing. Great ideas happen when two or more other ideas bang into each other to form something completely new.

Subscribe to as many newsletters as you can from different topics. Download free ebooks about business small startup and business guide small startup or any other ebook you want. 

When you find good idea write it down in a notebook or save it in a special folder for further use.

If you are serous about your internet business and you like to reach the top, I'm sure you would love the opportunity to learn from the pro how to build a money making home business in no time frame!
