# 1 TV Viewing

This ranks as greatest time stealer of all! "Wait a minute" you might say, "don't tell me to give up my favorite TV programs!" No, we are not going to tell you to quit watching TV altogether. However, with just a little effort you can save TONS of time that could otherwise be spent on your home biz. Consider some ideas:

* Record Your Favorite Programs and Fast-Forward Through Commercials.

This could trim off a third or more of time it takes to watch them.

* Control TV - Don't let it Control You.

Instead of vegetating in front of TV for hours, watching everything that comes on, try picking only programs you really want to see and setting recorder. Sometimes it may be good to just chill out in your easy chair and turn on tube, but once you get into habit of recording shows, you may find more recordings to view than you have time for. The more productive time you spend on your home business will start to become a habit (so will extra money that you earn from it!), you will spend less time with TV naturally, and find that you have more energy too!

# 2 Recreation

Here is another big time stealer. Everyone needs some recreation, but most of us think we need more than we really do. Consider that most folks work all week just for a few moments of fun on weekend. Back when I was working a J.O.B. factory was full of ones like this. They lived their lives for fun in sun. Never planning for anything but more recreation. When flag ship factory closed it's doors and laid most of us off, these same ones wanted to know how they would afford their boat payments, golf cart notes, vacation bills etc. Many had mortgaged themselves to hilt with recreation bills.

1) Take Action!

Action actually cures fear. Once you get in middle of a project, you mind will start looking for ways to make your plan work. Inaction, or doing nothing is fear's workshop. Not doing anything will destroy your confidence and those negative thoughts will dominate.

If a net biz is in your plans, take time to learn some new things. You don't have to be an expert on tech issues (experts are a dime a dozen and you can hire as many as you need), but it does help to know something about it. A little understanding on your part can relieve a LOT of stress and doubt. Take time to do your homework.

2) Focus On The Positives!

We live in a negative world, so don't beat yourself up too bad if you have fallen into grove of doubtful thinking. The good news is that you can get out of that rut! When it comes to your biz plan, focus on reasons why it can work instead of why it won't. Whatever you focus on, that is what you will come up with. It's funny how mind works.

Since our business is teaching folks how to earn online income, we did an exercise where we asked individuals if it would be possible to take a homeless person from street and teach them how to make money online. The results of our research are interesting!

The ones who were less successful said that it would not be possible, that person would not even have a PC to work with, or an address to mail his checks to. They could think of every negative reason in world why our experiment with a homeless person would not work.

On other hand, more successful folks (who have earned income online) started to tell us all reasons why it could work. We could take street person to library and teach them how to get online. They could set up a Pay Pal account and have commissions deposited there. We could help them set up a P.O. Box to get mail.

These were some of same ideas that less successful folks came up with when we asked them "Well just imagine for a moment that it could be done, how would you do it?" Then positive answers came!
