Needless to say i am falling behind as a result these days and i am not happy about that! (fuel for the fire maybe? )

But, I have to say i am in no way surprised either. A good friend of mine always told me that my todo list will grow out of control when working on line and he was dead on with that statement.

It is hard to keep productive and focused when you are trying to work on too many things at once. Being sidetracked too often is enough to take the motivation right out from under your sails.

It’s very important to be organized, prioritized and focused on one thing at a time. I am practicing this as much as i can using Alex’s advice as i have spent the last two years especially totally engulfed in nothing but on line work relating to various projects that have forced me to sacrifice my social life (amongst other things).

I don’t want this trend to continue any longer.

If you can take anything from this small post, treat your on line business like a job. Do one thing at a time with the notion that you have absolutely “no choice” lodged in the back of your mind. So in other words – you won’t get paid unless you get the job done.

So having said that, i figured i would update you all with what i am currently working on for my blog now.

1. My Wordpress setup ebook which i have titled “BlogFu” is now completed and just needs to be formatted and packaged up nicely before it hits the shelves . If all goes well, it should be completed by the weeks end.
2. I will also be adding a resource section which will list the tools i have used to build my blog – from hosting all the way to organization tools. Basically anything i use along the way that i deem to be of use to you, the reader as i make my journey towards success through this coaching program.
3. I will also be writing an actual “About me” page to give readers and fellow students a better idea as to who i am.

Upon completion of my “BlogFu” ebook, i will work towards the module 4 lesson which talks about the real meat in my opinion – Traffic Generation!

I can’t wait! Traffic generation can be tough if you don’t know what you are doing, but as time passes, new tactics arise and i look forward to learning what will be taught in this section.

Without traffic to your site, you have nothing ultimately.

I will be posting about this as soon as i can along with what i will be doing to generate traffic and what i have already been doing in upcoming posts… Stay tuned!

Traffic is probably the biggest obstacle you’ll need to overcome before you are prepared for success and the best part about what is set to transpire here is that all traffic you’ll receive from this idea of Garry’s will be targeted – meaning those people who click on your link to visit your blog through his newsletter will be looking to find out what you are up to or what you may be offering on your blog. In addition to this, you’ll only need to do the work once and you are completely set up for as long as your links remain active in his edition.

It really does not get any easier than this – Virally generated traffic!

This is a great opportunity for students to get more exposure to their blogs through his newsletter – which mind you would be a great resource to personally have as well, so subscribe to his newsletter. The bottom line here is that i suggest you all head over to his blog and read more to get a better picture about this concept:

In a non-related update:

The Wordpress eBook i have been working on this past week has now is just about ready for it’s final touches and proofing. The draft has been completed to my satisfaction and it’s looking good. Should be ready real soon.

The only real obstacle i am facing so far should in turn be the easiest and is figuring out what exactly i want to name the damned thing! If any of you have any suggestions, fire’em over!

Creating a huge list on a blogroll just is not a very good idea for a few reasons. When a web site’s page begins to contain an excessive amount of links, it begins to give a site a spam appearance… which is often frowned upon by search engines.

I’ve created a page branching off the main page which is reserved exclusively for member blogs. You’ll notice this link at the top entitled ‘friends’.

If you are a student and would like to add your blog to this listing – fill out the form on the friends page and submit.

I will review each site prior to adding listings.

We’ve all heard the saying … “the most important thing you can do right now is to take action!” right? It is so true. With so many distractions on the Internet, your profiting ability will always suffer so long as distractions exist around you. I am not sure where i heard this, but they say that for every distraction causes a lapse of 11 minutes in time that is lost before before you are back on track.

It is pretty easy to see where your time can go.

Forward to basics as it has been referred to involves familiarizing yourself with a proven business mentality and most importantly treating your online business as such.

So how can you do this?

This is actually quite a simple thing but oftentimes difficult to implementing.

• Work on one thing at a time. Do not juggle tasks.
• Neatly organize your work! A great way for you to do this is by creating and using mind maps.
• Eliminate the unproductive things when you are working on productive tasks. Only do email once or twice daily. Close it otherwise.

A very good way to help lay out where your time is spent online on a daily basis is to ( as silly it as may sound ) keep records of everything you do online and how much time is spent. You can then later look at this information and cut back in areas where you are wasting time.

There is also a very nice tool online called Rescue Time that helps you with this: http://www.rescuetime.com

This lesson has been wonderful for me. Task managing is not easy for me when your todo list grows more and more each and every day.

Needless to say, i am impressed with the knowledge i have gained this week and i can honestly say that already i can see results in my productivity after implementing just a few of Alex’s suggestions and i would strongly suggest those who may be struggling themselves consider a different approach to their business operations.

Up next – Putting my Profit Pulling Platform online…

A mentor or a go-to person in other words.

When you have bought as many money making products and systems as i have and only experienced minimal success – you begin to wonder where along the line you went wrong!

In these days, guidance from a mentor can really determine whether or not you are successful or not online.

This is exactly where i am today and is the reason why i have put up this blog. To keep a journal so-to-speak of my latest endeavor in a brand new coaching program that was just launched by a gentleman by the name of Alex Jeffreys.

I am very excited to be one of the few who have got into this coaching program as it sold out quickly!

Alex is just an average joe with a great passion and drive to succeed online. His story can be found online so i won’t go into much detail other than this guy earns well over 20k a month now and that success can be attributed to being personally mentored by a couple of the biggest names in the IM field… Mike Filsaime and Rich Schefren.

Stay tuned as i will be reporting my progress as i make my way through the mentoring program.
