Internet Business Productivity: The Step Most Business Owners Forget

While each of us strives to make our Internet business productive, most experienced Internet marketers agree that there’s no magic pill and no one way of proceeding that is guaranteed to work every time. Developing productive habits takes time and effort. Finding the habits that work best for you is a matter of trial and selection.

Still, there is one factor that holds true for anyone who wants to become more productive. It’s something you need to do even before you start setting goals or placing ads for your Internet business. Those who don’t take this step, frequently never get back to it once the effort of running their business takes over, and often, it was never carefully considered in the first place.

This “secret” step is what gets you up in the morning ready to roll, and it comes to your rescue when you find yourself struggling to make progress, or feeling discouraged because your Internet business isn’t taking off as fast as you’d planned.

Finding “Your Reason Why”

That secret is called “Your Reason Why.”  Why you’ve chosen to be in charge of your own income; why you’ve decided to go after your dreams; why you want to have more time with the people you love. It must be an emotionally compelling reason, or you won’t stick to your guns long enough to get your business off the runway and into the air.

Perhaps you’ve heard this before, and if so, hopefully your “Why” is keeping you focused and making your Internet business productive. It’s providing a message-to-market that’s attracting the prospects you’re looking for. If not, you may want to rewrite it or redefine it.

What Really Motivates You?

Does having breakfast with your kids in the morning motivate you? Does knowing you can send your children to the college of their choice get you revved up? Maybe it’s the commute that’s killing you or the boss that’s making you crazy and you just want a chance to taste the freedom of being your own boss? For some folks there’s a pressing need, like being unemployed, or mounting debt. Whatever the reason, it must be more than simply the money. What will the money provide for you? How will it change your life?

Write It Down.

The clarity of your goal is where it all begins. Napoleon Hill called it “definiteness of purpose” in his book Think and Grow Rich. So your goal needs to be definite and clear in your mind — something that you focus on daily.

Without a clearly envisioned goal — one you can taste and smell and feel — you will struggle to have a productive Internet business. All businesses take persistence, focus, and daily development. When you’re the boss, all of those things are up to you.  You can learn to be massively productive, but only if you know exactly what you want to accomplish with your Internet business in the first place.

Keep Your Eye on the Goal

Long-term productivity depends on letting nothing stop you or keep you from reaching that wonderful goal you have written down and memorized and that you think about daily. With a purpose in mind, you will build momentum, and the more productive you become, the more results you will see. With each success, your actions will come more easily; you’ll experience faster results and increased productivity.

A good course on how to become more productive (I recommend Eben Pagan’s “Wake Up Productive”) can grease your wheels and make your Internet business machine run faster and smoother, but without the fuel in the engine (your goal and desires) even if the plane gets off the ground, it won’t fly very far.

Do you remember what made you decide to start an Internet business in the first place? Go back to that place and nail down your reasons in writing. Post your mission statement where you can see it. Then get busy making it happen and don’t let anything distract you. This one simple step will increase your business productivity more than anything else you do!

    You won't learn anything from this assignment if people on YA do it for you. The point of the flyer is that it makes potential customers want to use the product or service offered. So, it has to appeal to a want or need that they'd have, list the company name, phone number, location, and web site for the company.

    Look at ads & flyers for existing companies to see what they've done. Do they offer coupons or discounts for new customers, money back guarantees or what? Good luck!! ; )

    what?
    this is confusing.
    how about developing pictures in your bathroom dark room and and using your living room for a art exhibit. i tried.

  6. urbantool says:

    The seat layout is exactly like EY, but obviously the styling is different.

    I would like to know.
    I looked at all options for Business Class to Zurich or Geneva Switzerland and Emirates and Etihad are $3000 AUD more expensive than Singapore Airlines. Why is that?

    I would of thought Singapore to be more expensive but I was proved wrong. I ended up booking with Singapore and by the looks of it its a far better product as the seats are huge and go totally flat.

    Just wondering why such a big difference in price?

  8. psychic says:

    @sosuperfranky Yeah, the A380 business is a very good product!! Thanks

    Hi there and thanks for the comment, I just had a look and indeed you are right, EY and EK are quite a bit more expensive, I think there are several reasons for this, I’ll write you a PM.

    Only if enough people do it.

    If its just you and I boycotting a product, then it probably wont have any effect on it because its not like we buy a lot at once. For example, if we boycott a toy that costs 10 bucks each, then the store would only lose $20 (because 2 x $10) in profit and the toy maker wont get to sell 2 more things (bc the store would order 2 less next time) However, if 1,000 (us included) dont buy the same toy, then the store would lose $10,000 in profit and the store would order 1,000 less products of the same item from the toy maker. I personally wasnt involved in any boycotts, but as a business management major, i leard about all this stuff in college.

    Good Earth Glow. Fresh Earth Products. Fresh Glow Products. People like the words fresh and glow – I think avoid green as it will be cliche and hard to differentiate your line form the 89,000 other "green" lines.

  12. truth says:

    Yeah the airlines are having to create seating that has aisle access to everyone now, with the likes of BA and EY having this, now EK has it. Or you could have SQ’s seat which is so big you only have room for one by the window! But of course, EK will always have the best! :) Thanks

    It's not necessarily keeping in touch with friends and family, it's networking, connecting with people. Business is people, without people you make no revenue, and to get people to come to your business or view your businesses website, you need to advertise. Tools such as the ones you noted, are great advertising techniques, which are also FREE. Note FREE (in relation the social networking). Another thing is, you can create as many profiles on social networking sites. Blogging attracts people as well, it's all generating traffic, when you can build up and generate the traffic, that itself will bring in revenue. Using social networking, you can add people you don't know, people that don't know you can add you, just make sure your business page is created nicely, professionally, and is something that people want. If you have that already under control, you will be fine.

    The interesting thong to note about the ‘new’ business class on EK is. It’s just like EY’s current business class. But of course this is Emirates and it will always be better than anyone else ^^
