I guess you've heard this before, but seriously. Heed this advice, even if it's the only advice you'll ever heed coming from me. Don't start "multi-tasking" with your online business, I'm working 16 hours a day and still struggling to get everything done in time. Also, don't set impossible deadlines just to try to prove to yourself that you can do it.

Short but sweet. Heed it.

  Haven't slept and it's 11:56 AM. Lol. Add this to the list of "why"s.

Amen!

Focus on one project at a time especially if you aren't making good, steady money because you need to get your first winning project first.

I always thought multi-tasking would be a good thing. If you can handle more work you might as well get it done

  That's not the point, it's not good to work on several things at once, the best way to start seeing profit is tackling one thing at a time then move on.

..but at least you are working for yourself. Better to work 16 hour days and reap the rewards than working 16 hour days to earn money for someone else!

  Honestly, I'd earn way more if I worked 16 hours for someone else (the minimum wages in Norway are ridiculously high compared to almost any other country). Well depends on how well the membership site works out. If it does work out, a month from now I will be able to "lean back and reap the profits of my labor". Atm I'm just worried about creating an information product that actually helps.
  
  Thanks

oh my. i have the tendency to multi-task. Right now, i am working on three little projects, on top of my 8 hr job, and i am really struggling on the weekends, that I've given up my saturday night out. and 7 days and nights in a week is not enough for me. I am hoping to be more organize next week, so i could take off some time from work.
