Many of us are beautifully optimistic in our New Year expressions.

I can’t count how many Facebook posts I “liked,” tweets I “re-tweeted,” and Google+ status’s I “1+’d” over the last week.  They all spoke, in various verse, of how many great changes the New Year was going to bring into each person’s life.

And while I want everyone whose path I cross to be wildly successful in 2012, we all know that the odds are against most.

Once you have signed off social media, and set down to make the real work happen, do doubts start to creep in?  Does “reality” hit when you look at what’s got to be done to meet your online business goals?  By the end of January, are you back in the frustration of not making it happen?

Obviously, there’s a huge difference in saying you’re going to make it happen in the New Year, and actually making it happen.

Unfortunately, I think the reason most people don’t find the success they are looking for is that they don’t take the time to really believe they can do it.

Today, I’m going to share with you 3 examples from my life that you can use to push yourself past your doubts and back into belief.

1.  You Decide What’s Possible

Most of your doubts are the result of what society ~ including your friends and family ~ defines as possible and proper.  But you do not have to believe in “impossible.”

When I decided to have children, my doctor told me there was only a 2% chance that I would ever get pregnant.

I played his game for several months.  Then I decided that if I was going to find success here, I would have to ignore his statistics, tests, and expertise.  They didn’t fit into my world.

I got a new doctor and conceived my first beautiful baby girl 2 months later.

Close your eyes to those who don’t believe in you.  Believe in yourself and your ability to make things happen.  Surround yourself with others who will support you 100% (even if they think you’re crazy, as I’m sure my doctor did!).

2.  Have Confidence in the Road Less Taken

As an entrepreneur, you are probably used to being a little different. 

You’ve probably heard, “why don’t you just get a job?” before.  And maybe even thought it yourself.

Several years ago, I was fired from a job that I never contemplated leaving.  Apparently, I wasn’t very manageable . . .

Everyone encouraged me to get a new job.  I even had a really good offer, working with good people for good money.  But, it wasn’t what I wanted to do.

So I moved 4 hours away and started my own business.  I won’t lie, there were times when I struggled to pay the $450 a month rent for my tiny apartment.

But, within a year, I had more than tripled the salary that my job had paid.

And, best of all, I was the boss.

Starting your own online business may not be popular with your friends and family.  It’s scary.  What if . . . (insert all bad things that could happen).  Yes, but, what if you are wildly successful and get to live the life of your dreams?!  Don’t let anyone convince you that the less-traveled road is the less-desirable road.

3.  Cash In on Your Strengths

We all have strengths and weaknesses.  For some reason, it’s human nature to focus on our weaknesses.  You’ve probably been told (or even thought to yourself) that you can’t build a successful business because you’re too old, too young, too inexperienced, too poor . . .

Don’t buy it.  I almost gave up when I first started.

I began my career as an entrepreneur in the network marketing industry.  I was trained in the “old style” way – sign up all of your friends and family, talk to every person you can when you wait in line at the grocery store, buy leads and spend hours a day calling strangers.

Super yuck.  I had no desire to do that.  But I really wanted my own business, so I tried.  And I was really bad at it.

So, I kept looking until I found a way to do business that concentrated on my strengths, which include developing relationships with people, not selling to strangers.

Don’t let anyone convince you that you lack what it takes to have a successful business.  If you believe in yourself, are willing to take the time to develop a plan for your business, and then take massive action to implement that plan ~ you can do it!

I look forward to hearing your stories.

I sincerely hope you enjoy this blog post, but I’ve gotta tell you – this one is really for me. It probably belongs more appropriately in my private journal than in a public forum.

I have a terrible time with focus. In fact, I don’t even want to focus on one thing. I want to do as many things as humanly possible at once.

I hate to sleep, because it’s the one time when I haven’t figured a way to multitask. Yes, I read my email at the stop lights. Yes, I have a book in every bathroom in the house. Yes, I read Success magazine while I eat.

Now that I’ve gotten my confessions out of the way, I’ll tell you — you will find greater success if you focus on one thing at a time.  If you put your heart and soul and all into it until your one task is 100% complete.

The absolute best teacher on the issue of focus is Thich Nhat Hahn.  I recently finished his book, “The Miracle of Mindfulness.”  One of my greatest take-aways from the book was “when you are washing the dishes, wash the dishes.”

Thich Nhat Hahn beautifully illustrates the how and why of being present in everything you do. No matter how trivial it may seem.

But before I can get to the joy of being fully present when I wash the dishes, I must first learn the basics.

Like how to complete this blog post without getting up to grab a snack, clicking away to my email, trying to listen to a “can’t miss” webinar replay in the background . . .

But why?  Why does focus matter?  Aren’t those who are capable of constant multitasking the most productive, and therefore the ones that find the most success?

No.  In fact, there are (at least) three reasons that focus will bring you more success.  In life, and in business.

First, focus actually saves you time.

Common sense would perhaps dictate that if you can do two things at once you will save time.  What I have found, however, is that focusing on one thing allows you to complete that one project faster. 

It’s like the difference in walking from point A to point B in a straight line, rather than weaving back and forth to your destination.  Each time you turn your attention even for a moment, you have veered off the course and it will take you longer to get to the finish line.

In the worst of all circumstances, you don’t finish your task in one sitting. It’s impossible to then come back and pick it up right where you left off.  It will take you, at the very least, a few minutes to get back to where you left off.  And sometimes, you never really regain your momentum.  And it takes twice as long to finish your project.

So, yes, when you multitask you get two things done.  But chances are you could have accomplished each of them quicker and better if you had tackled them one at a time.

Second, focus makes you feel better.

When you focus on one thing you don’t have to worry so much.  If your only goal for this hour is to respond to all of your email, then you can just do it.  You aren’t worried about trying to answer all the emails, and get your newsletter finished, and update your Facebook page . . .

There’s peace of mind in having one task that can be completed in one block of time.

And, if you are focused, you are going to complete more.  You won’t have four unfinished projects you are juggling.  You’ll have one finished project and a clear picture of the next project that’s in line.

Checking that one thing off of your “to do” list has an unbelievable “feel good” factor.

Third, focus means you reach your goals faster.

Focus allows you to be more organized.  Each success goal you have can be broken down into a series of small steps.  If your goal is to get to the top of the building, focus allows you to walk decisively up one flight of steps.  Which brings you one floor closer to the top.

A lack of focus, on the other hand, is like being on one of those stair-steppers at the gym.  You keep walking up those revolving stairs, yet you get no higher – no closer to your success goal.

With these three benefits in mind, my focus this week is on focus.  I’ll let you know what amazing results I see.

I’d love to hear from you below.  Do you struggle with focus?  If not, I’d love to know how you do it!  If so, let me know how you plan to implement my suggestions so that you can save time, feel better, and find success faster!

Happy Labor Day!  The “Happy Labor Day” weekend always brings some mixed emotions for me.

The “official” end of summer.  But oh how I love summer!  (Fortunately, it was still 100 degrees here two days ago, so I can pretend).

I am sad at the thought of closing my pool, packing up all the kids’ short sleeves, not having my Saturday trip to the farmer’s market.

The “Happy Labor Day” weekend is also one of my favorite weekends of the year because it is my first-born’s birthday.  She is a beautifully energetic child.  And the weekend is always fun-filled and action-packed.  Because it’s a long weekend, my family from 4 hours away is always able to join the celebration.

So, this “Happy Labor Day” weekend has been great.  But as it begins to wind down, my attention is drawn to the next chapter of life that is about to unfold.

There’s a four month push to the new year.  But really, between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and New Year Year celebrations, there are only three months left.  I like to plan it like three months so that I can actually take the time and enjoy my friends and family over the holidays.

You may know that I am not a fan of New Year’s resolutions.  I think they are artificial and overwhelming and usually set you up for failure.

But, I am a fan of planning.  You know the saying — those who fail to plan, plan to fail.  And the planning of your successful online business in 2012 needs to begin now.

December 31, 2011 before you head out to a New Year’s party is too late.

If you want 2012 to be extraordinary in your business, you need to make a plan for how you are going to pull that off.  Now.

Here’s why.

The new level of success that you desire to rise to will not happen overnight.  Or in a month.  Or really, even in a few months.

Your success is going to involve meeting several goals.  You will get to each goal by accomplishing a series of small steps.  And that takes time.

Rome wasn’t built in a day.  Your successful online business won’t be either.

So if you start planning for success on December 31, 2011, you won’t meet your 2012 profit goal.  Because you are going to spend much of 2012 figuring out how to build your business and doing the construction.

If you want to quit your day job in 2012, or show a profit for the first time in 2012, or double your profits in 2012, then you need to start working on that now.

Think of it like this.  You are opening a new physical store.  You want to unlock the doors to a grand opening extravaganza that brings out thousands of new and excited customers.

Would you go lease the building on December 31 and plan to throw the doors open on January 1?  Of course not.

You’d plan for months to get everything just right for your January 1 grand opening.

So start thinking about January 1 as the grand opening (or re-opening if you’re already up and running) of your online business.  And start making some preparations.  Or on January 1 you’ll be sitting in an empty store, with an empty wallet, scrambling desperately to get your store set up and attract customers.

And another year will slip by without you leaving your j-o-b, or taking that vacation, or volunteering to drive for your child’s mid-day school field trip.

Happy Labor Day!  Now get to work.

Yes, making your bed CAN make you wealthy.  Well, it’s a start anyway.  No, I’m not introducing a new “system” that pays you to recruit a team of people who all make their beds.

This is a lesson in understanding one of my favorite Jim Rohn quotes — “For things to change, you must change.”

I used to think this meant I needed to change how much money I made, that I needed to change from being paid by the hour to earning passive income.  If I could change those things about me, then I was certain that yes, things would change.

I spent a few years spinning my wheels.  Wondering why nothing was changing.  I was persistent.  I kept working.  Buying every new course.  Trying every new thing.  Failing.

Eventually I figured out that making more money and creating passive income streams was the end result, not the path to change.  I needed to change me.  Because I was never going to dramatically change my income doing what I was doing anymore than a hamster is going to escape his cage if he just keeps running on that wheel.

“For things to change, you must change” means that you need to change from the ground up.  You need to change your habits.  The way you live your daily life.

This likely has little or nothing to do with your business.  It’s about you.  You don’t need a new course, or a new website.  You don’t need to change your tracking methods or tweak your adwords ad.

You need to change your habits.  To become more responsible, more productive, more focused.  Your habits are at the root of your failure.

Just because some habits are seemingly easy to change, don’t underestimate their importance.

I have a lot of trouble with organization.  And I know I am way more productive when my physical space is organized.

But looking around at my house (including my home office), it is completely unrealistic to think I can get everything organized just the way it should be, and then get to work.  I would be in a state of constant organizing for six months.

So I pick small battles.  Make the bed every morning.  Get all the dishes cleaned up after each meal.  Things I’ve thought I just don’t have time to do.

And if you make a small but significant thing your goal, it pretty quickly becomes a habit.  As routine as getting dressed in the morning.

In addition to making progress towards your goal, when you are able to make a small change that is important to you, you feel really good.  It lets you know that change is possible.  And it gives you motivation to continue to make change.

A series of small changes will make you a new person before you know it.

So, get off your hamster wheel.  No matter how hard you try, if you keep doing what you’re doing the way you’re doing it, things will not change for you.

If you think you don’t have time to make your business wildly successful, figure out how to be more productive, and what shortcuts you can take.  Then break it down into little steps and go do it.

purchase tramadol online height=”300″ /> We’ve made it through February. Time to check up on those New Year’s Resolutions you reluctantly made. Most people have long ago lost that amoxil generic piece of paper.

I go to a fitness club.  I have for over 20 years.  So I know this little graph to the right to be absolutely true.

I curse the full parking lot every January.  But take solace in the fact that it will only last a month or so.  And always, every year, it proves to be true.  By the end of February, we’re back to the old crew.

A few weeks ago during an aerobics class, I looked around at some of the people who had been attending regularly since the new year began.  And they were getting it.  They had gone from stepping on the wrong beat and looking around the room in frustration, to being in sync with the regulars buy amoxil in the class and in step with the instructor’s calls.

I also thought about the dozens of new faces that I’d seen once, and then never again.  They cared enough to show up.  But it was hard.  Others made it look easy.  But the newbies gave up in frustration, often even before their first class was over.

It cheap ampicillin buy occurred to me that my aerobics class mirrors life.  Those who show up — who keep showing up — succeed.  And, it becomes easy for them.  I wrote this post in my head while doing a fairly complex aerobics class.  amoxil Because I’ve been doing it for 20 years and it’s easy for me.  It became easy for me a long time ago.

The “just keep amoxil buy showing up” rule applies to most anything you want to succeed at.  As a baby, you just kept trying until you walked.  (Good thing babies’ brains are so undeveloped, most adults would give up after a couple of days . . .)

Musicians, athletes, even doctors.  When they started they had no idea how to read music, to hold the ball correctly, to diagnose disease.  But they kept showing up, and working at it.  Until they could do it in their sleep.

The same formula for success applies to your home business.  Show up at night after everyone else is asleep.  Work on your business.  You’ll learn how to succeed.

Nearly everyone who starts a home business fails.  And it’s always because they stop showing up before they start making money.  They’re looking for get rich quick.  They want to get their website up tonight and see $10,000 in their Paypal account tomorrow.

That’s not how it works.  Not for anyone.

The good news is, you probably signed a contract with that fitness club.  So it’s not too late to start going again.  Today.

But before you go, sign a contract with yourself and get back to work on your home business.  It’s not too late to be healthier, and wealthier, levitra on line in 2010.

You probably know that if you write down your goals you are 1000 times more likely to reach them than if you don’t.  This makes sense to me.  I imagine that most people who have no written goals have no identifiable goals at all.  Which makes it decidedly harder to meet any goals.

I can’t count how many times I’ve done some version of a goal setting exercise.  Usually this involves writing down everything you want in your life.  And it requires that you throw aside any limiting beliefs about what’s possible for you to achieve in this life.  If you want to own a private island, write it down.

I think this is a wonderful exercise.  I continue to do it on a regular basis.

But, honestly, I had written goals for at least a couple of years without achieving one of them.  And that got rather depressing.  I did as I was told.  I wrote down everything I wanted to be, do and have.  I read the list at least twice a day.  I was a good student.

After way too much failure, here’s what I figured out.  My goals list wasn’t getting me anywhere because it was really a list of my dreams.  And it’s a beautiful and motivating list.  The thought of a first class trip to the Figi Islands with my entire family makes me work an extra hour.

But looking at that goal tells me nothing about how to attain it.  My problem was that I could read my goals list all day long and it gave me no direction as to how to get there.

What I really needed was a list of goals that would allow me to be, have and do the things I dreamed about.  So I renamed my “goals” list my “dreams” list.

And I started fresh with a new goals list.  Try this if you’re struggling with the fact that none of your goals have been checked off the list yet.  Pick an item from your newly renamed “dreams” list.  It should be something you really want to accomplish, and something that is fairly attainable.  (For example, buying a private jet may not be your first pick).

Let’s say you dream of paying off all your creditors.  That requires $5,000.  You intend to raise that money by marketing a new affiliate product.  Or starting a new “leg” in your network marketing business.  Or creating a new product.  Whatever it is, it becomes your goal.

Each step it takes to get there becomes a goal.  Make a list of every step you’ll need to take to generate $5000 in sales from your new affiliate product — create a landing page, write some review articles, test a ppc campaign, create a bonus for your buyers, etc.

Put a deadline on each of these goals.  As you meet your goals, you’ll find yourself checking things off your dreams list.  And you can start to pick bigger and bigger dreams.  And write goals to meet those dreams.

Someday it will become a matter of just living the life of your dreams, almost effortlessly.  But let’s not get ahead of ourselves . . .

Usually I’m beating myself up by now.  Looking at that piece of paper that represents the new person I was going to become in the new year.  Well, maybe I’ll start this plan after the weekend, when the holidays are REALLY over, I tell myself.  Yeah, whatever.

But not this year!  Today, I feel great.  I made no New Year’s Resolutions.  Which means I’ve broken none of them yet.

Here’s why merck propecia I gave up on New Year’s Resolutions.  (and why you may want to also)  You can’t change overnight.  You fail to meet your resolutions every year because they require you to wake up on January 1 a new person.

Now maybe if you’re one or two things away from being perfect, this is attainable.  But let’s face it, most of us have things in amoxil buy generic levitra our business (and/or job), relationships, household, finances, personal habits . . . that we want to change.

And you can’t do it all at once.  Stop trying.  That’s why we fail so badly.  We neglect a resolution in one area of our lives and it has a domino effect.  The failure mindset creeps in.  Any chance of success in some other area is gone.

The arbitrariness of making all of these buy Amoxil generic fantastic changes at the stroke of midnight on December 31 also bothers me.  Of course, it can be a very appealing concept to those cheap ampicillin of us who struggle with procrastination.  Ever find yourself in November saying, “Next year, I’m going to . . .”  Or maybe even in October, September . . .

What’s wrong with right now?  Why put it off until the new year — which is meaningless timing to most resolutions?

Next year I’m going to get up an hour earlier and put an extra hour into writing articles to promote my website.  Why?  How about tomorrow I’m going to start getting up an hour earlier?

If you made resolutions, don’t throw them away.  If you didn’t, don’t feel like an unmotivated slug.  Either way, do this.  Determine what your ultimate goal for 2010 is.  This is likely something big, like quit your J-O-B and go full time in your home business.

Don’t take this assignment lightly.  This is not what your “dream” is for the year.  Make it a definable, attainable goal.  That doesn’t mean it can’t be a BIG goal.  A hard to reach goal.  But it must be something you feel is attainable.  Walking on the moon in 2010 probably isn’t realistic if you have zero training as an astronaut as of today.

Once you’ve determined your ultimate goal for 2010, we’ll talk about how to make it happen.

So relax, even if your two page list of New Year’s Resolutions has already been burned in your evening fire, there’s still plenty of time to make 2010 your best year ever.  And it won’t be as hard as all those resolutions made it feel.

Make 2010 your best year ever with Jim Rohn’s One Year Success Plan. Today is the right day to start your one year.

Things will change for you when you learn to be accountable to yourself. For most of us, this takes a lot of work. We live our whole lives being accountable to others. As kids, we’re accountable to our parents and then our teachers.

When we graduate into adulthood, we become accountable to our boss. We get our work done so that we can keep our jobs. We’re driven by an external stimulus. How many of us get something done before its deadline or due date? Okay, there are a couple of you out there. But still, you are driven by the fact that someone other buy Amoxil online than you is requiring you to complete your task by a certain time.

This is a big part of the reason most people who start a work from home business fail. Most everyone starts their work from home business while still working full time for someone else. The problem this creates is that you don’t have to do what it takes to succeed.

Whether price levitra your family eats isn’t dependent on your business. You know you need to set up your website, and your autoresponder, and your traffic generation propecia buy online methods. But no one’s giving you a deadline to do any of these things. In fact, no one’s requiring that you ever do any of these things. And so usually, you don’t.

To combat this eternal “I’ll get to that tomorrow,” I was advised to join a mastermind group when I first started out. Being accountable is much easier, I was told, if you have a group of people to be accountable to.

In the spirit of Napoleon Hill’s advice in Think and Grow Rich, the modern day mastermind group usually consists of a group of dedicated entrepreneurs who exchange ideas. Another function of the mastermind group is often to share your goals with each other and hold each other accountable for achieving those goals.

It’s a great concept, and I’m not at all knocking the benefit of the mastermind group. But, for the purpose of being accountable, they don’t solve the problem. Here’s why.

The problem is we need a boss and a deadline. Your mastermind group isn’t your boss. And, if you don’t meet your self-imposed deadline, there’s no consequence. Of course, the intended consequence is that you must admit to your peers that you’ve failed. If all goes right, to avoid that embarrassment, you’ll dutifully meet your goals.

The truth, however, is that if you can’t motivate yourself to take action, then a group of people you generally don’t even know that well can’t possibly motivate you to the success you’re looking for.

If you’re not doing what you need to, you’re either lying to yourself, making excuses, or failing to see what you need to do. You’re going to pass these same lies, excuses and ignorance onto your mastermind group.

Your mastermind group can’t help amoxil cheap you here. You’ve got to learn to be accountable to yourself. There’s no shortcut or way around it. I’ll tell you how buy generic amoxil I learned self-accountability tomorrow.

“Success is a journey, not a destination.”  This quote is so cliche I hesitate to even type it.  But, perhaps it’s so often repeated because it’s true.  The danger is that because it’s hard if not impossible to identify buy cheap viagra the exact moment you become a success, you will spend your whole life chasing something that you never find.

Sounds generic amoxil pretty unfulfilling.  And, I find that many people who are trying to build a successful online business give up because they get discouraged by their lack of “success.”

But we need to redefine success.   Everyone who’s thought about it has some idea of what it means to you to be “successful.”  But, I guarantee that once you reach that success, you’ll redefine what success means to you.  You’ll want more.  I did.

While you are on your success journey, you will take steps down the right path.  You should celebrate each of these steps.  Because you could have chosen the wrong path.  And you didn’t.  Good for you.

Success goes way beyond the easy examples.  Yes, if you’re a millionaire you meet the definition of financial success.  If you’re a professional baseball player who wins the World Series MVP award, you qualify as a “success” in your chosen profession.  If you’re in a truly happy marriage or relationship, that aspect of your personal life is a success.  There may be a few people who qualify as an all-around success in every aspect of their personal and business life.  No one comes to mind right now.

But success reaches way beyond these media-created, socially desirable images.  And the sooner you realize this, and start celebrating your successes, the more confidence you’ll build in yourself.  And the faster your home business will grow.

You probably do things every day that make you a success now.  Today.  And you should celebrate that success every day.  It will help you push forward the next day, even if you don’t wake up with an extra $5000 in your paypal account.

I was celebrating my success last night at about 2:00 a.m.  I was up writing a blog post, working on a new product, and searching for experts to interview for my upcoming teleseminar series.  I’d had a busy online ampicillin day, and I was tired.  I work from home with my online amoxil 3 young kids.  Most of my work time comes during naps and at night.  I’m not complaining.  I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Often while I’m working at night I find myself thinking “when am I going to be successful?”  Which, to me, means “when am I going to be able to leave my other career and devote all of my work to my online business?”

But last night it occurred to me that I am already successful.  There are thousands and thousands of people who are trying to start a work from home business.  cheap amoxil Or at least they say they are.  About 97% of them will fail.  Because they don’t have time, or they don’t have the right product, or they don’t have any computer ability, or they don’t have enough money.  Or a hundred other reasons — I mean excuses.

And that’s exactly what they are, excuses.  Because I guarantee you that for every person that says they don’t have time, I can find a person with a successful online business who had less time.  And for every person that claims they don’t have the computer knowledge, I can find a successful home business owner who had less knowledge in the beginning.  And so on.

So last night, I celebrated levitra cost the fact that I don’t make excuses.  That’s one of my successes.  Thousands of other would-be work at home millionaires were sleeping.  But not me, because I hadn’t finished my to-do list for the day yet.

If you take time to celebrate your successes — the things you are chosing (or have chosen) to do that are taking you in the right direction, when you could be chosing not to do them — you will feel better about yourself.  You will be more productive, and you will produce better quality work.

So the next time you are asking yourself  “when will I finally be successful at this?,” change the question around.  Ask “what did I do today, or this week, that makes me a success?”  Celebrating yourself puts you in the “I can do this.  I AM doing this” frame of mind.  Dwelling on the fact that you haven’t reached your ultimate success just makes you doubt yourself and your abilities.

One final thought.  If you truly can’t think of any success to celebrate, it’s time to reevaluate what you’re doing.

Happy Easter to those who celebrate it, and even to those who don’t.  It’s April, and our New Year’s resolutions are long gone and forgotten.  Most of them were broken by the first week in January.  By the end of the month, many of us had lost the piece of paper we wrote them on.

But that’s okay.  Because the new year is an arbitrary time to make changes anyway.  And the way we try to do it is hopelessly ineffective.  buy generic levitra We online viagra pharmacy make a list of all of the things in our business and personal life that we want to stop or start doing.  And then we try to implement them all on one day.  And we do this the day after the holiday season is over, as we are just coming out of a time that has been hectic, if not stressful and emotional.

The amoxil online chances for success are minimal, at best.  That’s why I’ve made a pre-New Year’s resolution not to make any New Year’s resolutions in 2009.  The term “resolution” is really code language for “goals I know I won’t meet.”  And no one expects you to keep your New Year’s resolutions.  You get laughed at if you’re seriously trying to change.  Especially if you resolve to quit your job and go full time with your online business.

There are many things I am seriously trying to change.  So I can’t let those goals end up on my “resolutions” list, which in reality is a list of things I wish I had the discipline to turn into goals.

But what does any of this have to do with Easter?  Well, for me, Easter has become a little like the new year was intended to be.  I make it a point to look seriously at my goals and my progress towards achieving them.  Why?  Because Easter is a time for new beginnings.

As Easter is not a part of my religion, I used to just let it pass me by.  I didn’t see any place for my involvement in this tradition of fancy dresses with matching hats, big family meals, and lots of extra church.  But when I was enlightened to the fact of what Easter is, that all changed for me.

If you celebrate Easter as a new beginning for Jesus, why not also celebrate it as a time for a new beginning for you?  I don’t advocate trying to change your life all at once.  But why not pick a couple of stagnant goals you have for growing your online business and begin to pursue them with renewed passion?  It can give Easter additional meaning for you, or provide your reason buy ampicillin to celebrate.

Another thing that the Easter celebration has taught me is that we can use any “excuse” to develop new goals.  Changes in the seasons bring changes in the earth.  The seasons can be our excuse to pursue our own changes.  I’m especially fond of Spring, when I can use the new growth of flowers, grass, trees and vegetables as a metaphor for the growth of my online business and my personal growth.

But it doesn’t have to be even this big of a deal.  My ultimate point is that any time is a good excuse to start (or re-start) dedicated work on a new goal of self-improvement or business-improvement.

I have a friend that struggles with her weight.  I always encourage her not to give up if she had a bad eating day, because tomorrow is a new day.  What better reason for a new beginning?  Each tick of the clock is a new moment.  While you may be discouraged about where your life is right now, or discouraged about where your work from home business isn’t right now, you have the power to change that instantly.

There are no excuses, and there is no reason to wait.  That’s one of the many beauties of the freedom we have as people living in America.  When you started reading this, you were a person who procrastinated at getting the copy written for your landing page.  Because of that, you’ve never gotten your online business off the ground.  But now, you are no longer that person.  You’re writing that copy today.  See how easy that was?
