Those who are careful time managers are those people who inevitably succeed.

While most of other people are standing there and cursing their destiny for having to wait, I am one of those guys, who are hapily working on his cell phone, answering those critical emails and SAVING that time, so I can focus on what's really important, when I come back home. And that is CREATING!

Fifth piece is motivation! You need to be motivated in order to achieve your goals. Having constant image of your future better self is critical, to keep you energized while you are working!

Not many people are disciplined enough to push out the most output in the least amount of time. Dedication to religiously follow up on your planned tasks and to do list is rare skill, that will those most determined cling on to. If you posses this skill, you are deserving of your dreams.

Seventh piece of the puzzle is automation! Always look to automate all the tasks that are possible to automate!

Getting results in online business is all about knowing what you are doing and doing it consistently, because you know that it brings results. If you aren't sure, you have to rethink what are you doing. Make that step, and shift your mindset so that you do what's necessary to get you headed in right direction, direction you decided to go!
