I read training blogs and materials across the web- big name people, unknown people- whatever teaches me the skills I need to succeed and your blog is the one I keep coming back to. Your down to earth, common sense style is refreshing and there is always much to be learned from you. Thanks, Yaro.
Question- if you had knew what people wanted, would you go ahead with a large membership site even if you really didn’t know what you were doing or would you try a niche site first to get some practice?

Hey Yaro – great article. I love your “1 Important Item per Day” mantra. It may not be appropriate for everyone, but it does ensure that you make progress on the *right things* every day, rather than do what many people do and find themselves flat-out dealing with lots of unimportant crap.

I recently posted my Top 7 productivity tips on my blog, but if I had to choose just one, I think yours would be it!

Hi Yaro,

Thought provoking post. My daily victories usually take the form of completing a post or starting on a new creation. I love inventing new things and trying out new ways to do things.

That’s what I like about your blog and your newsletter. You always have a new idea or a small success to share with your audience. Many of the things you’ve shared have ended up on my blog or in my posts.

I agree it’s the little things along the way that really make the journey worthwhile.

John

Hi Leanne,

Thanks so much for your kind feedback and it sounds like you have made a good decision to celebrate the small victories.

The StomperNet $1 trial has been a huge success so far based on the feedback I’m seeing. I know at least 16 people are trying it just from my blog alone – I think something like 5000 people all up are on the month trial now, that’s pretty impressive.

It will be very interesting to see how many stay on board after the trial month, that’s the real test.

Hi Yaro,

I’m very much enjoying the Stompernet 30-Day Trial so far and wanted to thank you for posting about it, as I’d never heard of it before reading about it here

I also want to thank you for sharing your approach to goal setting, as it’s a concept I’ve always really struggled with. Having children to care for and suffering anxiety and depression along with health problems makes my life pretty much GroundHog Day, and I’m always dreading going to bed, just to wake to another zombified yet panic-ridden getting-nowwhere day.

So I’m just going to focus on achieving one small step each day towards my goal, and hey if I kick the bucket in the process well at least I got to feel some small sense of achievement on the journey!

I love reading everything you write Yaro, in your blog and newsletters that I always look forward to receiving in my inbox. You help to make my days a little more exciting! Thanks for that.

Best wishes,
Leanne

I find most of that stuff is good motivation. For someone as far along as me, I’m sure there isn’t much he could teach me. But for a total newbie sounds like he would have alot to show them. His prices are steep, but if it works it works.

wow, that’s awesome. 2,500 for that, that must be really good and he was able to handle 38 niche sites before, cool. thanks for that Yaro.

Excellent Article! My wife and I have always had the mindset that you must celebrate your goals; no matter how small they may seem. Even when we had nothing and were building it back, we’d celebrate with a cheap bottle of wine and bree cheese.

Even now, when we reach a certain number of subscribers or amount of money, we do something special. It reminds us of why we are doing what we’re doing. Otherwise what’s the point?

Have a great day!

I was at last year 30 days challenge, and I must say that it was awesome.

A lot of training course point people at the right direction like moral values, however it is their choice to get to the destination, just like getting things done.

Making a million does sound very exciting, but what matters most is what you enjoy and accomplish to make that million.

Hey Godhn – No I have never bought an Ed Dale product and that was the first time I had met him.

He targets absolute newbies to the Internet marketing would so a lot of what he teaches I already know – like FTP, domain names, hosting, etc – all staple stuff if you have worked online for as long as I have.

However I expect there is *some* content in his products I would benefit from, but I’m not doing niche content sites.

If you decide to do niche content sites then given Dale’s background I’m sure he has *a lot* to teach – both newbies and more experienced online people.

Nice post, and particularly interesting being as I know of Ed from a conference he came to in the UK. I didn’t go, but my friend (all excited by the possiblities) bought the DVD recording of the event, and then lent it to me.

She’s done nothing (ive had the DVDs for months), and I’m very wary of internet marketers like Ed. I can’t afford to join any of these programs, and I feel if I did – would I learn anything I don’t know already?!

So I was wondering if you have any personal experience of Ed Dale’s products?!

To-do lists can be depressing. I get annoyed when I work through a list of minor tasks and get sidetracked doing the piffling jobs that don’t really contribute to the end goal.

I’m finding plenty of satisfaction in devoting each day to the completion of one significant task that gets me closer to a strategic milestone. If I can knock my main tasks out early on in the day, the to-do list’s feel more like sport than pressure.

It’s also nice to be able to bundle daily victories into a tangible deliverable once a week or fortnight for the benefit of stakeholders who like to see and touch things.
