Being in a relationship or running a business will set you up for some pain.In business rude people,your fears and unreliable technology will cause you pain.Jealousy,fears, power struggles etc. can burn you in a relationship.But we all have to get over them.

Most people will run from pain.They are ones with stories of dreams that were unfulfilled.But truth is , only way to achieve your goal is to go through pain.

So my friends if this moment you are feeling pain , smile inside.At least you now know even if others don't , it is your path to success.Use it wisely because where there is no pain , there is no gain.

To your success and mine .....,

Nicholas

If you’re assuming, use "commit to 30 days".

=> Three: Commit To 30 Days: form new habits

Follow your strategy for one month. Don't think, just do it. For example, if you're marketing your business, work your plan for at least a month, before you change plan.

If you're a writer, and are sending out article proposals, send out at least five proposals a week (more is better) for a month *before* you assume it's not working and stop doing it.

It takes 21 days to change a habit. In 30 days, you've got time to develop a whole new habit. Therefore, when you've created a plan, stick to it for 30 days. After 30 days, your new productivity will be a habit. And you will have results and feedback, which will help you to get over your assumptions.

You will be challenged. If you commit to contacting ten companies a day to offer your copywriting services, I guarantee you that you'll get a cold, your computer will die, or something else will happen to interrupt course that you've set for yourself.

Deal with interruption, and then start your 30 days again, from beginning. Remember, don’t assume, just commit to plan, and keep going.

=> Four: Make It Fun

Are you passionate about what you do? Focus on fun aspects of what you're doing. If you're doing something which has no fun in it at all, like sending out invoices or writing direct mail letters, then give yourself a treat when you complete chore.

=> Five: Schedule Time Off

When you're running your own home business, work will take over your life if you let it. Keep regular office hours.

If you're moonlighting in your own business until you can go full-time, then take weekend off. If you work all time, quality of your output will degrade sooner or later.

You must have downtime, so schedule it into your plan.

Start today, and try above productivity strategies for a month. You WILL become more productive.
