Focus Thoughts & Forward Momentum
“Realize that true happiness lies within you.
Waste no time and effort searching for peace
and contentment and joy in the world outside.
Remember that there is no happiness in having
or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out.
Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you
cannot pour on others without getting
a few drops on yourself.”
- Og Mandino

Topics for this week:
– What Are Your Dreams?
– Terminology
– Focus Thoughts & Forward Momentum
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What Are Your Dreams?
Remember the first question in establishing
your personal foundation for success…
Why do you want an online business?
Of course many of us want to make extra
income, but what about the other benefits
like being able to:
- Work from home
- Spend more time with family
- Travel
- Give more to charity
- Buy a new car or home
These are our dreams aren’t they?
…to have more time and money to be able to
do more and spend more time on what’s really
important and valuable to us.
Knowing your dreams and reasons for wanting
an online business is the key to keeping you
motivated and focused on your journey to
online success!
It’s helpful to write your dreams down so
you can review and clarify your list over time.
The more clearly you can define what it is you
want the better chance you have of obtaining it.
“Before your dreams can come true, you have to have those dreams.”
- Dr. Joyce Brothers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Terminology
Here are some common Internet Marketing (IM) terms:
Guru - This term refers to people who have been
successful in a specific area, such as IM, and
who are considered experts in that field.
Mailing List (or Subscriber List) – A list of
people and their email address that was obtained
by people opting in to be on a specific list.
Sales Copy – The information on a website that
promotes a product or service and pursuades the
visitor to make a purchase.

Weekly Bits Newsletter – 14 Apr 09
Topics for this week:
– Is A Website Necessary?
– Procrastination
– Focus Thoughts & Forward Momentum
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Is A Website Necessary?
When getting started online a question that
comes up is whether or not you really need
a website.
There are differing views on this and I think
the answer will really depend on your strategy.
If you are in a hurry to get your feet wet
with your online business you can become an
affiliate for another company’s product. Then
you just promote your affiliate link which
will take any potential customers directly to
the company’s website.
By going this route, you can receive commissions
for any sales and you wouldn’t need your own
website.
Not having a website can save you time and money
because you won’t need a domain name or web hosting,
and you don’t need to learn about getting a
website online.
The downside of this strategy is you will not
be building your list of potential customers.
Many people do not buy with their first exposure
to a product and need to hear about it over
and over again before they are ready to purchase.
By sending the potential customer directly to
the company’s website and not capturing their
name and email address, you will lose the
capability to contact them.
If you’re planning to build a long term business
it would be helpful to at least have a simple
website to capture names and email addresses.
This will allow opportunities to contact your
list multiple times about similar products
that may be of benefit to them.
There are many ways to get started online. Keep
in mind it is possible to make income with or
without a website. Your strategy will help
determine what will work best for your business.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Procrastination
Yup, it’s there isn’t it? Following us around
and talking to us — “let’s do something else”
or “it can wait until tomorrow”…
Beautiful spring days can often lead to my
procrastination. I just love to be outdoors and
working in the yard. I’ll step outside for just
a moment to take in some fresh air and before
I know it, I’m weeding or raking or mowing the
lawn!
I’m sure you probably have your own good stories
too. And sometimes it may be OK to procrastinate,
but if it’s a daily routine we may need to make
some adjustments.
The one thing I’ve learned to do that helps me
is to tackle the most dreaded task first. I
focus on the great feeling I’ll have afterwards
and it motivates me to get it done sooner.
If you struggle with procrastination and you’d
like some more tips, check out this informative
article – “Stop Procrastinating – Right Now!
6 Ways To Outsmart Your Paralysis and Actually
Get Something Done” by Melissa Kirsch.
Here’s the link to her article:

Impulse Buying
Your email’s bombarded with new product launches…
The products promise awesome success…
There’s a limited supply and time is running out…
So what do you do?
Do you feel the urge to have to buy right now today?
When you are searching for the right answers
and want to be successful, it’s easy to get caught
up into the hype isn’t it?
We make decisions based on information we may
not have thought through or in hopes it really
is the right answer this time and we don’t
want to miss out.
Over the years I’ve learned a little trick to help
make better decisions and get past these situations.
And that is to wait for at least one day before
making the purchase.
Many times just by stepping away for a little
while you will get the edge you need to think
about it more logically.
Sometimes it helps to ask questions:
- Does this fit into my business goals?
- Am I ready to use this information?
- Is it something I will take action on?
If it still makes business sense to make the
purchase, then buy it. But if you’re not as sure
now as you were initially, then take some more
time to think on it. If it doesn’t fit your plan
then you can be comfortable in making the decision
not to buy.
This even works when you’re out shopping and
see something you feel you just gotta have.
Give it a day before you buy and you just might
end up saving yourself some money…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Clarity And Purpose Video
Tony Robbins is an awesome motivator and he has
been a tremendous inspiration to me in my life.
When I saw this video clip where he talks about
clarity and purpose in life, I wanted to share it
with you.
I hope you find some inspiration as well.
Here’s the video link, it’s just over 8 minutes.

“Life will pay whatever price you ask of it.”
Anthony Robbins
Enjoy…
