Re-Gaining Your Groove

Re-Gaining Your Groove!
© Terri Seymour

Well, the holidays are coming to a close and it is time
to get back to business!! It is hard to believe it is
the year 2003!!

Sometimes after the hectic holidays, getting back to
the day-to-day routine of running an online business
can be hard. If you are like me, you kind of feel like
you have lost your groove or your focus and need to
get back in the swing of things.

A few things that may help us do this are:

1. Review - Take a little time to go over 2002. What
were your goals? How were you going to achieve these
goals? Did you achieve your goals? If not, DO NOT
be discouraged. We are at the brink of a new year!
Realize what could have kept you from reaching
your goals and make the necessary changes.

2. Revise - Make new goals and write out a new
business plan. Learn from your experiences, good
and bad, and improve your outlook and success.
Make note of all you did right and all you did wrong.
Reform your methods for a bigger and better year!

3. Repeat - Keep doing all the things that have helped
your business to grow. Writing articles, ad swaps,
ezine publishing, announcements, etc. Resume the
methods and moves that have helped your business grow!

4. Reorganize - Go through all your files, folders and
figures. Throw out all the old *stuff* that hasn't
helped you in any way. Go over all your info and only
keep what you need. Refresh your entire organization!

5. Remain - Keep your focus and do not let go of your
determination and motivation. Remind yourself why
you started your business and the dreams you have for
it and yourself. Revitalize your dreams and goals!

6. Reward - Give yourself credit for all you have done
and accomplished in 2002. Starting and running a
successful online business takes a lot of work, time
and commitment. It is not done overnight so be proud
of the progress you made and prepare yourself for
more success. Resolve to do more in 2003!

7. Rejoice - Reflect on all the things in life you are
blessed with - friends, family, life and all the simple
pleasures. Do not dwell on mistakes you might have
made. Revel in the fact that you had the chance to
make them and can learn from them!

I know that these are not *specific* tips on re-gaining
your groove, but following these ideas can keep you
in a better frame of mind for re-joining the Internet
marketing world after the hustle and bustle of the
holiday season! So, let's all re-sign ourselves to the
fact that it is time to get back to business and re-turn
to the everyday routine of work! ;-)

I hope everyone had a Holiday Season to Remember!
