4 Strategies For Your Internet Business To Make Money Online

Are you one of those people that believe that you just don't have the time to get your internet business up and running so you can make money online? You are not alone. Many people who email me or I talk to claim they have too much to do and not enough time to do it. They wind up defeating themselves and their business looses momentum and suffers.

Full time jobs, family obligations, maintaining health, and too many other distractions are the main reasons for not building momentum for their internet business. You can wind up feeling that your life is spent catering to every other people's obligations.

If you are a work at home mom, you can add laundry, cooking meals, taxing the kids around town to that list!

However, I have some good news! You can find and maximize time to build momentum for your home business. All you need is to find time and commit to use that time for your home business only. Try the following strategies to make your internet home based business flourish.

Document Your Daily Routine

The first thing you will need to do find a quiet place and write down your schedule. Document the start and end time on events like getting ready for work, driving your kids to school, your commute to your day job, gym time and any other weekly commitments you have. Don't forget to include weekends and family time, or fellowship at your church. (this is most important).

After completing this exercise you should have a good visual of what your work week looks like for your internet home based business. You should see openings in your week. Make your goal easy: try to find two hours you can commit to spend on your business. You should be able to re-prioritize some time.

Stay with the Schedule You Created and Re-Evaluate

The next thing you need to do is stick with your schedule. This can be tough because you are creating a new habit. I have read that a new habit takes 21 days to become just that, a habit. Once you get the hang of your new routine, you should always re-evaluate your schedule. You may be able to find more time to spend on your internet home based business.

For example, you may have a day time show you really like. All I can say is…"Will watching Oprah help me make money for my family?" This might be harder than you think, but…

You can always record a show and just prioritize the time to watch later…maybe with your husband!

Sticking with your schedule means you need to discipline yourself to work this internet home based business. This means that you have to find a way after work, after little league games, after dinner and after putting the kids to bed.

Don't Forget Your Family!

I'm preaching to myself on this one! I can be so passionate about something, or get so into creating a video, or creating a blog for a client, that I lose my priorities.So, spending time with my family is always a top priority for me. I have two young children who have seen me on the computer enough. I try teaching them what I'm learning. For example, I showed them how I use my search toolbar to generate revenue and at the same time support the A21 Campaign. My son calls me his "techie mom". They in turn have become smart young individuals who know how to use the computer as an educational tool, and not just for fun.

If you have to use your family time to spend on your internet business, make sure you communicate with your family so they have an expectation of what you are doing. However, I would recommend that you set a time limit so you can spend that time you want with your family. This will provide balance for you.

Embrace Distractions

As we all know life also throws us off schedule. Try your best to embrace that fact instead of fighting it. If your child stays up late, focus on helping your child quiet down and go to sleep. Try not to focus on what you could be doing. Don't worry. Don't stress. The work will still be there when you are ready.

If you have to stay late at your day job, then choose to work late. Usually, you'll find that it is better just to focus on one thing at a time. You will be more efficient and effective. Having a clear and guilt free mind while working on your business is most productive.

To handle new ideas that can distract you while you are working, keep an MP3 Recorder handy so if an idea comes up you can record it or write down the idea in a notebook. You can always prioritize those thoughts at a later time. You will also find that you are using less energy dealing with distractions instead of fighting them.

Continue With Your Personal Development

Finally, find ways to continue to grow in your self development. That is so important. Read books. Find authors and speakers that connect with your heart. Some of my favorite teachers and mentors include Dani Johnson, Stephen Pierce, Doug Firebaugh, Tassel Daley, and Jentezen Franklin. I also use my time in my car to listen to mp3's of training. Many phones today, such as the I-phone, are an internet business marketers dream tools. We can listen to mp3's, watch training videos, and really use it as a tool to learn and grow!

As you continue with your own personal development, the passion is stirred or rekindled to keep your vision alive amidst the daily tasks. Nothing like passion to keep momentum going!

Better yet, if you have the time and finances, invest in yourself and attend a seminar. I recommend Dani Johnson's First Steps to Success! I've attended two of them and always came back refreshed and ready to take on the challenges. And I learned so much about myself and what it takes to succeed at her seminars!

So there is good news when it comes to finding time to work on your own internet business. Don't despair and don't get frustrated. Just remember that you have total control of your time and you alone can change your habits to build your businesses momentum.

You hold the keys. The doors are ready to be opened for your future. Go forward. Don't look back. And don't be afraid to dream big!

Help Non-Profits & Businesses

One door I have found in this internet business arena is helping non-profits, businesses, and ministries generate revenue using the same technology that Google and Yahoo uses.It fits with my passion to consult and teach others how to harness the power of the internet for preaching, promotion and profits.

This is NOT an MLM company.

It is a real world wide business that has a "Global Vision" to provide solutions for businesses, non-profits, and groups.

"OurGV is your one-stop shop for increasing revenues, decreasing expenses, improving public relations, and gaining access to technologies that would normally cost tens of millions of dollars to develop on your own!"
