FOCUS on Your Business Program.

FOCUS on Your Business Program. Written by: Raymond Jonsen Power of Focus ! If you are anything like me, you probably find yourself often thinking of new projects to start, new things to achieve.I did that in my beginning on Internet. That in itself is very beneficial and indeed a required ingredient for success. The trick is to know where to draw a line.

The trap I kept falling into was hoping and looking for new and better programs all repparttar time,easy to find new once,but i forgot about them repparttar 103956 next day,instead of working on repparttar 103957 programs you already joined and going for repparttar 103958 results there.

I would often actually get dragged into gathering more and more information on new opportunities. I would spend time on developing them right then and there. I would be stealing repparttar 103959 precious time away from repparttar 103960 current project I was supposed to be working on. Obviously, it was a trap.Be aware of this trap! The current project would suffer, because there is only so much time in a day.No one gets results form Surfing repparttar 103961 Internet for "Get Rich Tomorrow "and thinking,there must be an easier way!There is not,only hard work will give you success.Focus and work on your Business !

Then I would get discouraged with my current project and drop it because I didn't see any results. Think long term!One of my future projects would become my current project for repparttar 103962 time being, until I'd drop it in favour of repparttar 103963 next project.Its a trap,yes.

This is how most of New to Internet do it!!Dont do repparttar 103964 same! Can you see repparttar 103965 trap? And it gets even worse: If you keep on doing this for long enough, you will actually program your subconscious mind NOT to complete a project EVER. You will forever keep on failing. Eventually it may even filter through to other areas of your life.I did repparttar 103966 same in repparttar 103967 beginning,so much waste of time and money!
