To be a successful Internet Marketer you need to treat this venture as a true business, which means that you need to do some planning and goal setting to create a secure foundation for your new Online Business.  Plan on working smarter rather then harder, this is not a get rich quick program like I spoke of previously.  The most important step in any of these modules is taking ACTION!   It is very easy to become overwhelmed and frustrated, but remember the following saying” don’t worry about getting it right, just get it going”  then you can always refocus on what needs attention.

1)  Create 3 Life Plans

A)  Business: things you want for the business – do you want to create a squeeze page, set up a blog and how many times a week/month will you post on it, do you want a opt-in list, how many people do you want on the mailing list and by when?  etc. **it’s important to have one main goal at the end of this and one goal only, it is perfectly fine to have tasks and  projects for the business as you go along but 1 final goal keeps you directed and dialed into having a successful final outcome.

B)  Entrepreneur:  What are some things you want to do as a Entrepreneur:   Create your own product, have a online coaching program.

C)  Personal: What is your plans for your personal life -  take weekends to spend with the family, trips 2x a year, Wednesday is date night with significant other, get a dog.

Now once you have written your 3 Life Plans it just as important to write some Time Management Plans.

2)  Create Time Management plans

A) 1 year Plan ( do the best you can, if you cannot do a 1 year plan, then create a 90 day Plan)

B)  90 day Plan: take the 1 year plan and make 4 -90 day plans.

C)  Monthly plan: try to forecast your schedule the best you can.

E)   Weekly plan: include allocated times for thing such as email, research

F)   Daily To-Do list, but write it tomorrow

G) A Daily Did Sheet One of the most important yet-  What you do with that is you log in information during a work day to see exactly what you are getting done and how long it’s taking you .  This is a very effective time management tool and will help you to start to learning to manage your time with productivity.  Do this for approximately two weeks, you’ll be amazing to see were your time is spent and it helps keep you on track!

*****Please keep in mind that the above Plans are to be realistic projections as to what goals you want to achieve and understand that we are trying to break these plans down into manageable pieces.  *A helpful hint when writing your Time Management plans is it’s easier to work backwards from the pictured end result.

Make sure to check things off from your list when completed and give yourself kudos for jobs well done!

3)  Start A Journal or a Blog

Doing this will be a way of mapping your successes and who know down the road you may even wan to put it into PDF format and create a EBook!For those

4)  MindMaping
