Have you struggled to stay focused too?

This is never more so than when you start to build an online business.

With the wonders of the internet and the fact that every click leads to somewhere else, there is no such thing as a dead end any more.

This brings with it the problem of "how to stay focused" when there are so many things to be seen and done?

I have been researching the net for the last 18 months, as I certainly couldn't call it anything else, and I have found focus to be my biggest enemy, or more importantly, the lack of focus.

Not because I am not focused in wanting to build a business, but just exactly which business? It seems like everywhere you turn there is another good opportunity, and of course they all promise everything that I am looking for.

I finally bit the bullet a couple of months ago and determined that I was going to make this work, because I hate being beaten by a piece of machinery.

I made a decision to promote primarily one or two main programs that I will grow continuously, and just let everything else sit on the side lines, until I am ready to come back to it, if ever.

This has not always been totally easy. I can still find myself being pulled aside when you start to investigate things like safe lists and traffic exchanges, but I have to say that I am starting to see results for taking this approach. Which is exactly what focus is, no more than a decision to do something unreservedly.

I was actually very surprised that when I put a few adds up and people started joining the programs I am promoting, that I actually got a little scared for a second or two, as it seemed too easy, and even though everyone says it is easy, I didn't expect it to be THAT easy.

That being said, I have a long way to go before I change my financial situation, and would call myself a success, but I can see the start of the growth.

It is just an embryo at the moment, and I know that if I continue to feed it and learn what is good (works) and what is bad (doesn't work), and continue to nurture (learn), just like the birth of a baby seems a marvel at the time, so will this be.

I wrote this for all those people who have been like me and doubted if they could ever be a success online. Even though I have not achieved my outcome yet, I now feel that I am on my way to giving myself a brighter future and that I am at the start of the success I want to be.

My final word of wisdom to you, is just keep going, do something, anything, as it is better than nothing, and out of this, something will happen.

Here's to happy surfing on the net.
