Staying positive and productive will be crucial to your success as an online marketer. By focusing on what you can achieve each day, instead of getting bogged down with the details that will keep you from doing what needs to be done, you will find that you can do almost anything you decide to do with your business. I recommend keeping a notepad next to your desk with the items you want to work on, setting both short and medium range goals to keep you on track, and participating in activities that will move you forward, such as online courses, live events, and Mastermind groups.I started using a small legal pad to write out my thoughts and ideas several years ago. If I have an idea for an article, a new product, or anything else, I write down just enough so that my memory will be refreshed when I look at it again later that day or the following day. This makes it simple for me to sit down at my computer and become productive almost immediately. I simply look at what I have written and then get busy. This is a positive way to start thinking each day, and will enhance both your creativity and your productivity significantly.Goal setting is also an excellent way to track your progress. I have goals for each week, as well as a monthly and a quarterly goal. I review all three on a weekly basis, and make changes and modifications as necessary. Even though your goals will lead you to success, be sure to incorporate flexibility into them as you continue to learn and stretch your comfort zone. Goals must be written down, whether you do this by hand or on your computer.Become a constant learner in your business. I am always taking a class or training from someone who is an expert on my topic, and this ensures that I keep up to date with the changes in my industry. Find a few people you enjoy learning from, and then see which topics they are offering training on that you can join. Also, be sure to join a Mastermind group or form your own. These groups will give you the positive feedback that you need.By now you can see that online business success can be achieved with just a few pieces in place. Take action, keep your eye on the goals you want to achieve, and you will be more productive than you ever thought possible.
