Perseverance Is The Key

I like to point out that Rome wasn't built in a day, but that every day you can bet they placed a brick. This kind of outlook is so important when developing your own business. Taking too many actions at once could mean you're placing yourself at risk of sloppy content or ill-advised decision making, while taking too little might bore your visitors and keep your marketing efforts at bay.

There Is A Middle Way

Balance. Perseverance. These are words we often tell ourselves we have in spades, but do we really? Are we really committed to building ourselves, our business, and our fortunes? How easy is it to procrastinate and say, "I'll write that blog post tomorrow." "I'll start the ad campaign next month." "I'm not getting any visitors to my site, so I'll work on web design later." Procrastination is the root of all evil when it comes to business management and financial success.

You must work every day towards your goals.

I take this advice to heart with my own internet marketing business. Each day I:

• Read a piece of Inspiration that will help me get through my day.

• Write a blog post for immediate publishing or to help my queue.

• Visit popular blogs, comment where I can, and share my own site.

• Try to share my business with at least five new people.

These are by no means "big and wild" goals. I know that I won't make a fortune after taking these steps. What I do know is that slow and steady wins the race. The more consistently I place blog posts, the more exposure my website will receive and the more time people will want to spend on it. The more I can inspire myself to do better, the more I'm certain I will. Sharing my business has to become completely natural to me - and to you - and doing this ensures that new guests keep coming back. After awhile, these incremental steps cannot help but give back in the form of customer traffic, visibility, and success.

Don't EVER Be Discouraged

I'm also fond of the saying, "Don't quit before the miracle happens." If the most successful business moguls of our time stopped what they were doing a moment too soon, they wouldn't be business moguls today. If we allow ourselves to be discouraged by what we have or haven't done, how fast or slow we perceive our work to be, or all the many different "worries" that can cause a business to fail, well... we'll fail! We must believe in ourselves and in our goals. There's no room for doubt that what we hope to achieve will happen for us - that's what makes business such a powerful movement for personal profit and success. Just keep swimming, and you'll make it.

It just takes time.
