When it comes to running an online home business, our mind is racing 100 miles an hour and we get stuck with one question “What to do first and how can I do it?” I wanted to share with my knowledge and I hope it will make sense to you. I only use simple language and I love to give examples of daily applications that helped me and still keep me on track.
Tip 1. Change your mind
“Change your mind “ is an important step in your online home business. It is all about excuse busting. We must get over all notions we have about ourselves. Write down every reason you have not to do your daily work, and then write solution for each problem. Give your mind the same consideration you give to other things in life like your car, house… Your right mindset will be the best vehicle or property you will even own. How far you mind takes you are based on your choices. I believe we all beautifully made!
Tip 2. Evaluate yourself
If you were about to start an exercise program such as running or joining a gym fitness program you would have to go through personal assessment. We should do the same when we decide to make changes in our online home business. It could be very eye opening. You need to find where you stand and set realistic goals. You need to have a true picture.
Tip 3. Meditation
Start your day with healthy meditation. It is our brain fuel and provides our mind that positive kick start. Make sure you set a time to do it every morning… Do not rush yourself every morning. Plan this time of the day to meditate, to read or listen to personal development audios. I love to read Tony Robins, Jack Canfield, listen to Victoria Gallagher and Esther and Jerry Hicks.
Tip 4. Get moving.
Take action. You do not need to be an Olympic champion and do everything in one day. Begin with reasonable goals. Avoid inactivity and do something every day and not once a week or even once a month. Action will lead to results you want to have but you need to have the mental foundation and have the right attitude to take a proper action or not just any action.
Tip 5. Get rid of old marketing methods or methods that do not work anymore
It is like wearing old tennis shoes or even wrong size shoes. We make mistake accepting that certain methods work that used to work will always work or keep doing something that does work. We have fear of getting rid of old habits and accepting new ones.
Tip 6. Explore all your options
Do what you love to do first for your online home business. If you hate blogging, try video marketing or vice versa. Do not force yourself to do what you do not want to do if you truly hate to do something. If you do not want to talk to your friends and relatives about your home business then do other forms of social networking though communities as Facebook and Twitter. Try different forms of marketing. Explore activities that both fun and beneficial.
Tip 7. Be consistent
You will only see results in your online home business if you do work regularly and have schedule to do something every day. You cannot take four day break and expect to see results that week. Lazy days are great and they can be occasional treats like eating ice cream on a diet or a piece of delicious chocolate cake with ganache. You see I am talking food. It is my weakness and I do have lazy days in business and I accept them but then I kick myself into working harder the next day. The good news is that working every day on your business will become your habit and it will be more enjoyable to you. I would say you should enjoy what you do or then why you should work from home.
Tip 8. Update your daily routine.
Stick to your routine for the next 4-6 weeks and you will see difference. Then you can add new marketing or business building methods. It will be good time to mix things up. It could be something simple as adding 2-3 articles a week on a particular subject or creating your niche blog. Continue to challenge yourself so you will not hit marketing plateau. Plus you will avoid boredom.
Tip 9 Make a list of people
Ask your friends to help you in proofreading your work such as articles or create mastermind groups. Let people around you know that you are trying to improve your business and you need their encouragement and support. Believe me it does work very well.
Tip 10 Reward Yourself
Reward yourself. Not with an expensive restaurant meal but with a good book, massage or for us girls, a good massage or spa will be the best treat. If you are like me, you will find it quite rewarding to help others and focus on helping your business colleagues. I know everything might seem crazy to you but surely it feels right!
