Baby Step Your Way to $1 MILLION Dollars

Internet Marketing is not rocket science, but it isn't kindergarden either. More than anything else, it is a mind game, those with strong minds will get ahead. Those that take actions and always step towards their goals get ahead. The Action Takers get ahead, not necessarily the brightest or smartest.

With that said, one of the biggest lessons my mentor taught me a few years back was the idea that internet marketing principles are very simple to understand, but most people do not make it huge because they dont know what to do with these simple principles.

He proposed this to me and I propose the same to you...

Baby Step Your Way to Millions...

Every single day come up with a list of things you want to achieve. Then break those steps down into individual tasks. Then break them down even further. Now you have a bunch of little tiny steps that a dummy can figure out. Internet marketing is about taking action on the basics, and breaking tasks to baby steps makes it that much easier to fulfill your actions.

When you tell yourself, ok today I'm going to build a site about X, it sounds daunting and its hard to achieve that goal But when you break that goal into 30 tasks such as

1. come up with a domain name
2. find a template
3. find 3 good images for the site
4. decide on a color scheme
5. etc etc

...then your task is more ACTIONABLE because you can start checking off little baby steps


So take the time to write down these little steps. It wont take more than 10 minutes out of your day and if you are anything like myself, it will pay huge dividends in your business.


I wish everybody reading the best of luck is achiving their goals and dreams, both personal and IM.

PS: I have a huge whiteboard I do this on every morning. It helps

    Good post and I agree ... just take action and be moving forward all the time. You don't have to build Rome in a single day, but every day that you are building means you are one day closer to your goal! Keep at it.

    Early?
    Im 34 years old and ive lost a great couple of time, years, by jumping around unfocused.

    But thanks to the WF (and my daughter, who focus some life goals for me) some things seems to be in motion now.
    Here i found a work field that is near to my personal interests and has a good chance to be effective so now i will focus to this to reach my personal goals.

    The time is right to focus to some goals,
    define a system to reach them,
    break it down to baby steps
    and GO!

    No worries, completely understood.

    Whatever country you are from, use that to your advantage. I focus on cpa offers which I think are the best way to make money online (yes, maybe im biased) and I wish I spoke 50 different languages and lived in 50 different countries because each has its own world of opportunity. Just because you arent from the US doesnt hold you back. That just means you can market here like the rest of us, and better yet, you know your country, culture, and language better than most people, so monetize that knowledge.

    best of luck on your journey

    Let's not confuse goal setting with time management. They are two different things. Both must be managed effectively to maximize your results.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

    No fear, i will, Kenster.
    It is faszinating to combine the marketing mechanics of the warriers here with the product and consumer market in my country.
    Because of slowly decresing earnings local touristic is growing in the last five years. And thats my battle field now.

    You are right, Dennis.
    But one is near to the other.
    To reach the goals you have to made an exact time management.
    And to plan the right steps in your time management you have to know your real goals.
