Net Marketing: A Passion Or An Obsession?

Written by Jo McNamara


Continued from page 1

And those questions led to THESE questions:

- Why do I feel so driven to get so much done in one day? - How much time each day do I want to devote to marketing? - What am I trying to accomplish each day (in Net marketing)? - Do I really need to get up at 4 a.m.?

And FINALLY:

- Has Internet marketing gone from a passion to an OBSESSION? - Am I still having fun? - Do I really need to get up at 4 a.m.?

I suspect these are questions we ask ourselves frequently. I think we ask these questions when we are tired, burnt-out and frustrated…those times when we feel like failures and think we're never going to "get it."

I know that's how I felt that evening.

I was able to answer some ofrepparttar questions. Some I still need to think about. In particular, trying to understand where that thin line between a passion and an obsession is.

I think we HAVE to step away fromrepparttar 121880 computer every once in a while. We NEED to ask ourselves these questions and explorerepparttar 121881 answers we come up with. And here are perhapsrepparttar 121882 two most important questions of all:

- Am I ignoringrepparttar 121883 special people who enhance my life? - Am I forgetting that I only have today?
