Simple 11 Step Formula for Success Online

Are you looking for that elusive formula for success that will help 'transform' you into a successful internet marketer? Well if you got that burning need to succeed but have still not been able to do so, my guess is the problem may be more in your approach and not the business your building! All too often we tend to focus almost exclusively on the business as the 'source' that's holding us back and this is NOT always the case!

So you want to be a successful internet marketer, well here's 11 tips you can begin to apply today to help improve both your efforts and the results!

Plan Your Work

No matter what level of energy you bring to your work, if you have no plan, you have no direction which guarantees you frustration and failure! The first thing you'll need to succeed when working on the internet is an actionable and realistic plan! How else do you expect to coordinate your efforts in order to reach your goals?

Work Your Plan

The plan you've prepared is actually your map or blueprint that describes in detail exactly how or what you need to do to get where you want to go! Doesn't it seem a bit foolish to invest all the time you have in planning and than simply ignore this blueprint! Every successful internet marketer habitually plans their actions in advance to cut down on errors and work as efficiently as possible! If you have any aspirations of achieving anything at all, doesn't it makes sense to figure out how to do so in advance?

Take Action

One of the biggest obstacles that keep people from 'living their dreams' is their reluctance to put their ideas or what they've learned into action! Absolutely nothing happens until action is first taken which means if you're lacking motivation, building a successful internet business will simply remain a dream for you!

Take Naps

For those lacking motivation, taking naps probably sounds like a great idea and one they'll likely take action on, but that is not why I suggest taking them! One thing you'll absolutely need to succeed online is a well rested mind and body! Developing any business takes lots of energy and if you're lacking in this area, both mental and physical errors will be the result! If you intend to be the 'driving force' behind any business, you best be up for the many challenges you'll no doubt face and this starts with the proper rest!

Get 'Er' Done

Don't get too hung up on being perfect all the time! The fact is nobody is perfect, but trying to be so can cost you time and even profits! Always try to do your best but be reasonable insofar as how much time and/or effort you place into a single task! Take your 'efforts' and just put them into 'play' leaving revisions or improvements, if they prove to be necessary, for later!

Network

Having a network can save you a lot of footwork as well as using your contacts for advice and support! Working online even opens the door to increasing your network because you can easily find 'like minded' people from all across the globe! There are forums and social communities all over the internet where you can locate help and support so work smarter by doing so!

Don't Forget the Body

Exercise is something most people don't get enough of and it shows in both appearance and their performance! Being a successful internet marketer means you'll be spending many hours sitting in front of a computer which is NOT necessarily good for your physical health! Science has proven that an active and healthy body helps to promote a sharp mind in addition to a longer life span, so don't forget  your body!

Be Reverent with Time

This resource is one you can't do without and is none renewable, so be productive and efficient with how you use your time! More than anything else, it is lacking time management skills that keep people from successfully running their own business! Learning how to get more done in less time is one 'acquired' skill you'll definitely need to succeed online so treat this resource with reverence!

Mind Mapping

Here's a tool that helps you record, categorize and coordinate your thoughts and ideas! With so much to do it simply does NOT make sense to ignore using this terrific software tool! We all know how 'random' thoughts can pop up out of nowhere and most times we simply dismiss them! Using mind maps helps you capture these thoughts so you can put them to better use at a later date!

Tackle Tough Tasks First

We all have our least favorite or toughest tasks that MUST be completed that we tend to put off till later! Guess what, when 'later' comes we're usually too tired to tackle these challenges so we put them off till the next day! The best approach here is to schedule the completion of any challenging projects or tasks for early in the day when your energy level is high and your mind is sharp!

Leverage Technology

With all the available software to help automate your efforts, it would be foolish NOT to put these tools to use! Show me a successful internet marketer and I'll show you someone who saves themselves time and drudgery by using tools to automate many of their efforts! The best part is in many cases these tools are freely available, so tell me now why you don't use them?

Is there really a formula for success when putting forth the effort to build a successful internet business? Well a good start would be to look at the individual behind the business and the steps they take, if any, to prepare themselves! The point is if you got a real need to succeed as an online business entrepreneur you MUST take active measures to keep both your online efforts as well as your health in good shape! The 11 tips offered above serve as suggested ways for you to better prepare both yourself and your business for prosperity down the line! Simply consider that if you're not at your best how do you expect to excel at anything, or even better, how do you expect to enjoy prosperity in the first place? Remember, if you really feel the need to succeed, it all starts with you!
