If you plan to become successful as an Internet Marketer or Entrepreneur, you must develop what I’ll refer to here as “The Internet Mindset”. Alex Jeffreys has it; Maria Andros has it; Mike Filsaime and others like Rich Schefren and Tellman Knudson definitely have it.

 First, you must do some honest soul searching to determine “what you really want” out of life.
Next, you need to write it down; and develop a plan for making it happen — (sound familiar).
Finally, you need to keep it in front of you – as a road map, if you will – so as not to stray off the path.

Once you have these steps firmly planted in your mind, you must remind yourself daily that — online:
• You’re not paid according to the number of hours you work at a given rate per hour.
• Your pay is determined by your passion and the amount of “Value” you have to offer.
• You could “wake up” one morning, to more money than most people make in a year off-line.
• You might develop a joint-venture project that could net you an extra 100+ sales – in the blink of an eye.
• You could become a success virtually overnight; compared to a life-time off-line.

The PROFITABILITY of working online is “limitless”

It’s all in the THINKING. You must start thinking about those activities you should undertake that will have the maximum impact on your business in the shortest amount of time.
What would Alex Jeffreys say? You know what he’d say — it’s all about how much “value” you create with your time — that makes all the difference.
Look at the 80/20 rule: it’s highly probable that 80% of your results are derived from 20% of your efforts; so what are those “profit making” efforts?
• Product creation?
• Writing sales copy?
• Market research?
• Traffic generation?
• Studying? ( Skills to improve your internet marketing)

Easy to list – not so easy to do? I realize that there are a lot of little things that must be done (that 80% of small insignificant things that don’t really add to your profit results, but easily get you side-tracked).
You must stand strong – you must PRIORITIZE and PLAN — Success is a result of staying focused.
One way to help accomplish this is by developing a “High Impact List” of those tasks you feel competent and capable of completing – tasks that will increase the results you desire (ie: more traffic, more sales, joint ventures, affiliate partners …)
Another “BIG MUST” is to develop a list of those skills which tend to slow you down because they are beyond your comfort level or knowledge base (for me it would be the “techie stuff”). Only after you actually list the skills that don’t work in your favor – will you know what it is exactly, that you need to out-source or get help with, so that your time and efforts will be better utilized.
Once you learn to make the most profitable use of your time – time and success will be on your side.

God Bless
