I went to a business coaching seminar with Brad Sugars and the coaches there talk about strategies for finding the right balance and weighing out the opportunities. They have a ton of experience and can give some pointers that really do work. I paid for my tickets to go to the event, but there’s a site that is giving them out for free. http://coachmybusiness.net. It’s through Action Coach. I definitely got a lot out of it and I think your readers would too.

>> “In my experience, having one major project going at once, which you work on to completion before starting another, is a successful formula. This gives you clarity of purpose and more importantly, tells you what you definitely shouldn’t be doing (anything that’s not related to that specific project).”

I am so guilty of doing the opposite of this, I often have several projects going on at a time and it is very difficult to keep up and not get burnt out.

However, I could be wrong. What do you guys think?

Because I really also like to read comments on your posts because it’s nice to see that I am not the only one with all kinds of entrepreneurial decisions to deal with.

Your post gave me an opportunity to think more consioussly and clearly about
my online activities. I do believe that focusing has huge advantages of being able to have more energy to create what your want, On the other hand I also learned in a teleseminar about how Millionaires think that they sometimes simply
don’t choose and do both.

And currently I have multiple theme specific blogspots writing about
all kinds of areas that I like to write about.

This also reminds me of a principle I learned from the author of the Book titled: ‘The Lazy Way to Success’ (BTW you can find this book advertized at the leftside of one of my theme specific blogspots my Travel Blogspot.) As far as I undersand, in his view he let’s his focus be guided by simply developing multiple projects and as soon as there is interest and people begin to ‘Nibble’ on something he keeps on ‘feeding’ the most the ones that get ‘nibbled’ on the most.

BTW it’s my experience that sometimes the things that are most successful
come to me as a total surprise!

As readers of my little ebook obviously will know, years ago I worked in the Sales Staff of one of the Major Record companies, (where we made decisions about how to promote well know (and also lesser known) International (and National) Popstars in our territory.) Sometimes we also had projects on the ‘Back Burner’ for a while with the opportunity to have time to gain new insights that – looking back – sometimes created better opportunities.

For what discipline or a productivity regime is concerned, I don’t really bother with those to much because, currently it’s not a full time business for me and I don’t post that often because I simply declare my posts as highly exclusive!

Can’t argue with that don’t you think?

Did I mention the Lazy way to Success?

Will you write a series on your biggest mistakes online, what you learnt and what you would have done differently now?

Personally I’m looking for the Grail but generally for better or for worse I don’t mind sacrificing some profit for more fun.

I knew something big was cooking when you started missing the regular 3-day interval between your posts.

Great to know you are finally going live. That automatically increases you channels to reach even more people with the value you provide.

I believe that life is about internal balance – You have to set the intangible as priority over the tangible ALWAYS.

Once that’s done, every challenge is half solved.

I have been learning about my strengths lately and i’m about to take the KOLBE test and the Johnson O’Connor Institute of Human Engineering Test also in future to know where I can focus 80% of my attention on.

I have also learnt from your interviews with Daryl Grant and Tim Ferris that you can live a great life without necessarily “owning a bank”.

Only today while working in the yard (quiet time), I developed 3 ideas to solve a problem I currently have. Each solution is fairly complex and profitable, but using your advice I can see clearly which one is the winner. The acronym K.I.S.S (keep it simple stupid) springs to mind..

Thanks!

This is the very issue I’ve been struggling with recently. When your running your own shop, it can be very (VERY) difficult to prioritize effectively.

For those in the same boat as me, who don’t have cash flow to outsource and are a bit overwhelmed by the opportunity THIS is what works for me: stop chasing the ghost of tomorrow. It doesn’t exist.

Do what has the highest ROI for the least amount of time today. You can use the cash to free up more time, which you can then allocate to other ventures. Rinse and repeat.

Most opportunities aren’t going anywhere, and even if they do others will take their place in short order. Gotta do first things first…. as cliche as that sounds.

It happens… But this is a great kickstarte for anyone, whether you’d be new or old to the game.

Keep up the great work.
