The #1 Cause of Failure Online
Okay, I don’t have any data to back this up (other than my own experience), but see if this doesn’t make sense to you.
Easily the thing that has caused more failures in my own work is a severe lack of focus.
Does that shoe fit with you?
I know all too well how easy it is to get distracted and end up spending a couple hours watching random youtube videos, one after another.
And email… the amount of time wasted checking email over and over, and perusing every link sent to me. Off the top of your head, i’m sure you can count the hours being taken from you.
Focus isn’t an easy thing these days, with so much interesting news and bits at our fingertips, so here’s what i’ve planned…
The reality is you’re going to get distracted, so i’m practicing bursts of focus on tasks that have the biggest impact to my business at that moment. What I mean is, you take a single task and go after it as long as you can, before your focus breaks.
Interestingly, it’s typical to actually get that task done, and that’s why it’s important to put all that focus into the one that you feel will impact your business the most.
A simple example: Is it smart to be learning about new traffic methods, before you’ve nailed down your market and researched it?
Right now, i’m focusing on following the blueprint layed out in Chris Rempel’s book “Confessions of a Lazy Super Affiliate“. Starting with heavy market research, long before I even think about starting a website.
Where’s your focus? Can you honestly say it’s exactly where it should be?
