You’re easily distracted. Remember that the three causes for failure are:

1. Not taking action.

2. Jumping all over the place getting distracted by shiny objects.

3. Not following a proven plan.

That’s more of a note to myself, but I decided you might be able to use that advice for yourself.

Are you creating a product?

Answer: No. In this case, follow a proven plan. Begin with marketing research. Not having an idea for a product is not an excuse. Go to about.com and you’ll find some great markets with a number of ideas there. Do not think about competition. What if you had a friend who happened to have a product in every single market in the world? Would you feel bad if you were promoting products in the same market? I hope not. In fact, it will be to your advantage in many ways. In fact, your next step is to make sure there are other people promoting products in your market.

That’s your first step. Most people won’t get that far. They’ll simply give up because they “Don’t have any ideas”. The next step is following through with your idea… Creating the product.

Answer: Yes. This is good, you’re on track. Make sure you aren’t distracted from completing the product. I know from experience that it’s extremely easy to get distracted from what you’re working on. It may be because you “think” you’ve got a better idea for another product. Please, don’t do that. Stick yourself in a quiet room with nobody else but you and your computer. No phones, no instant messengers, no television. You’re going to finish this course until it’s done…do allow yourself to stretch and use the bathroom from time to time, I’m not telling you to lock yourself in a dungeon. Just make sure you’re moving along with the procedures.

If you can’t do that in your own place, consider using a hotel or motel. I’ve written a previous post about that here: Distractions
