I remember watching an NBA Basketball Game on t.v one night. The Miami Heat were playing New Orleans Hornets. Miami was all over them yet when you looked at score New Orleans kept pulling ahead.

Bill Walton made comment "Don't mistake activity for achievement." I'll always remember that. Just because Miami was playing hard didn't mean they were playing smart.

This can apply to our everyday lives and more directly to our internet marketing careers. As we all work hard to make money online and make money at home you should ask yourself this question everyday, "Is what I'm doing right now going to help me make move my business forward?"

I am as guilty of this as anyone. I check my email over and over clicking on send/recieve button looking for new messages that say something like "Congratulations You Have Made Another Sale."

It is so easy to constantly log into a program and check my stats over and over. What's point? If they do change it isn't enough to even merit time it takes to do it over and over.
