Hey guys, I hope things are well with you all! So, as we all know, goal setting and pre- planning are vital for our business growth and development. Even more important, is setting realistic and attainable goals. Here are a few things that are worth considering when expanding your online profits and businesses.
  • Finances - Do you have enough money to grow your businesses and projects in a steady and relatively rapid way? Like in any business, streamlining your expenses without being 'cheap' is something that requires a fine balance.
  • Stick to your plan - information overload and distractions are the bane of online entrepreneurs. I you have a plan of attack, then stick to it.
  • Number of projects - This is partly tied in with your finances. Keep the number of projects manageable, you don't want to spread your concentration, time and finances too thinly. It's better to give 100% to one or two projects, than to halfheartedly try and execute multiple projects at the same time.
  • Time table - Setting yourself a demanding, yet realistic time table is very important. You don't really need a whole year to complete your project do you?
  • Milestones - It's vitally important to set realistic milestones, it keeps you accountable and will help you to keep to your time table. If your milestone is to be earning $3000 in two months time, then try your level best to make it happen.
  • Rinse & repeat - Once you find a process that works well for you, build up on it and replicate. Your business should always be growing along with your profits. If the bank balance is shrinking then you need to take a closer look at the affecting factors.
Please feel free to add to the list...

      Agreed! No matter how good you are at what you do.. An advice and direction from someone with more experience can really give you a boosted start. Going and learning all along can really get hectic and long.

    Even if you don't have ANY money, as long as you have a solid plan and an Internet connection, you can make it. I am both an affiliate and a service provider. On the affiliate side, I made my first $1K on a college site just answering questions. That was over 13 years ago. If I can do it, anyone can. Luck has nothing to do with it. You just have to have the right plan.
