Mental Health Net: Online Addiction

So, what should you do if you find yourself becoming a victim of this new electronic addiction?

First, don't panic. Second, consider sitting down with a pencil and notepad -- and doing some good, old-fashioned brainstorming!

My advice is to get “FOCUSED”. There's a fine line between being distracted by Net and actually being addicted to it.

Because of depth of information available online, there’s a danger that instead of doing research you should be doing to find right opportunity that you can turn into a successful business, you start doing 'biz op tango' and start surfing completely unrelated sites.

It takes consistent effort in ONE business in order to make money online.

Choose a primary business and once that is making a nice profit every month, you can then consider researching other business opportunities to add additional streams of income to your portfolio.

This simple approach will prevent you from going overboard and becoming an Internet Addict.

If you dilute your time, energy and marketing by being distracted by Net and actually becoming addicted to it, your personal and business life will inevitably suffer and you’ll probably end up worse off than before.

There’s no question, you can and should benefit from different viewpoints. As a general rule, diversity is rewarding.

But you have to realize that no one has secret formula to online business success. In other words, what works for one, worked for them? It will not necessarily work for you. Most people realize this after a few months and certainly after a year or two online. No individual has ultimate success formula.

What you need to do at this stage is to stop and become focused.

You need to sift through all this advice, weigh it up and decide what is likely or not to work for YOU!

If you've not yet had online business success, you do need a guide to follow. I'd suggest you invest in ONE good, tested and proven internet marketing training system to use as your online business roadmap.

Once you've chosen your ONE internet marketing training system, faithfully model that system's step-by-step action plans.

Follow directions as if your future depended on it. It just might.

And stay away from urge to try something new once again.

Until you're consistently making money with one online business, you don't need distractions hidden in internet marketing quicksands of more information from yet another internet guru.
