This post is all about trying to build a business and how being a perfectionist can slow you down.  As much as I’m writing this for you’ll, I’m also writing this for me.

I’m not saying to slap things together, on the contrary, it’s important to provide quality work, but I do believe trying to make something perfect will completely derail your forward progress and be a road-block to your success.

Let me give you an example…

After I discovered Attraction Marketing Sales Funnels, I started to build them myself.  The only problem is that I knew I had to include video in the funnels for them to be more impactful.

The problem: I was never happy with the video.  Well let me restate that.  I was happy initially, but because the funnels would take so long to build, I would circle back around and not like the initial video I did.  So I would re-do that video, and never get back to where I left off.  The Attraction Marketing Sales Funnel would never get finished.

This became common place for me and I would never get anything done.

Starting and not finishing can become contagious if you let it.  It is an ugly desease.  :-(  One that needs to be cured quickly!

Here’s My Initial Attempt For a Cure

Recognizing that I wasn’t getting anywhere a couple of years back ,I decided that, although I needed to produce quality, I shouldn’t allow my obsession with perfection stop my forward progress.

So I established a simple goal.  Before I re-do anything, I first must complete the funnel from start to finish first before I was allowed to go back and improve upon it.  That way I would be able to create congruity with my system.

This helped but it created other issues…

As I was working to completion of the funnel, I found that I was leaving things undone… meaning instead of completing a small task at the time… since it wasn’t ready for the task to be complete, I would leave it with plans on ruturning to add that piece in.  That sounds confusing so I’ll give you an example.

This first example is one that I made all the time.

Basically, when setting up a funnel I would need to set up an autoresponder list.  Not a problem but in doing so I would only add the first message – the one that my subscriber would see right away, once they confirmed their subscription.  I would tell myself, “once I finish the funnel I will come back to this and write a number of sequenced messages so my subscribers would get follow-up emails.

Well what happened… I would get sidetracked and never get back to writing the other messages.

I know stupid right?  :-)

As crazy as that sounds, I would do this ALL THE TIME!

Here’s another example….

How about this one…

Imagine building your Attraction Marketing Sales Funnel and never finsihing it because you never spent time sending it traffic.  Many of us do this all the time.  But getting traffic is easy, even if you have a small budget for it.

If you can relate to this issue and your wondering what to do then I urge you to watch this pre-recorded webinar.  Just click here….(I need More Traffic!)

Bottom-line, my plan to finish the funnel A to Z helped me, but it presented other issues for me such as the examples below.  But I further modified my plan….

One Problem Solved But Here Comes More

I wanted to be perfect, but I realized that doing so was affecting my execution.  I solved that problem…kind of!

However I created an incomplete funnel.  I was leaving money on the table and I didn’t even know it.  And back then I couldn’t afford to leave money on the table.

I wasn’t finishing everything that needed to be finished and the sad part was that I was not finishing revenue getting functions.

My solution was simple and one I use today except I do it digitally…

As I work in my office building my funnel, I keep a notepad next to me.  I simply write down everything that was left unfinished for whatever reason and then circle back around to complete these tasks before I start driving traffic to that funnel.

Simple right?

So simple that I didn’t do it in the past and if I could kick myself I would!  :-)  Now I do it digitally.

From a Hobby To a Business…

Do you want to be successful?

Silly question, I know you do,  I heard a statement several years ago and it rings so true…

“You Will Never Be Successful If You Operate Your Business As a Hobby!”

No matter if your trying to make it online as an Internet Marketer or as an Network Marketer, you need to make sure that you complete your projects.  You need to go back and do quality control.  Test your system and make sure it gives you the customer experience that you were planning for.

I know this is not sexy but there is nothing worse than creating the perfect funnel only to find out that your customers aren’t getting the products they ordered and you’re creating a negative reputation in this industry.

If you treat your business as a hobby, you’ll make hobby income, but if you treat it as a business, you make business profits.

It took me awhile to figure this out.  I “Tinkered” on the Internet, and when I joined my first Network Marketing business, I “Tinkered” with marketing and promoting it.   Anything worthwhile doing, is not easy!  :-)

I can say this… It gets easier the more success you have.

One of the biggest problems with online business owners is that they’re doing ALL the work themselves, like the “one man band” and the person who wears all the hats…

When you think about a typical online business there’s quite a lot to handle:

• Website Development
• Writing and Copywriting
• Traffic
• Customer Support
• JV’s and Affiliates
• Web hosting (and domains)
• Videos
• …and so much more

What is Systemization?

Systemizing is like a process. How is Task A done? How is Task B done? How is Task C done? There are that can be placed to achieve the tasks, and a system helps by being able to take it and replicate the result.

It’s like a blueprint. It’s like a manual. Step 1. Do this. Step 2. Do this. Step 3. Do that. It’s a fully documented system that can be repeated over and over again.

At the end of the day, by having systems in place for every aspect of your business, you’ll have a smooth running business that won’t require your presence 24/7.

Systemization Will Bring You and Your Business Great Benefits!

There is no great mystery to the process, although many people are intimidated by words like “systemization”.

Luckily, I’ve written a special report for you which details what and how to systemize your business.   And it’s free!

I’ve always been fascinated with the work at home and work from home niche markets.  Once I established my online business, I decided to enter that niche with my site Home Online Job..

I rolled out two products that focused on two key themes and these products are called:  Freelancing Secrets and The Ultimate Guide To Work At Home opportunities.

In addition, I recommend three products (that others developed.)  All three I own and are fantastic.  I won’t mention them here but if you interested you can visit my Home Online Job niche site to find out more.

Anyway, what I wanted to share is that this site is making an impact on peoples lives and that makes me happy and proud.

Having your own home based business can really help guard against the uncertainty of todays economy and when you can help others achieve their dream – that is simply an awesome feeling!

So here’s video I received from one of my customers and she did it as a testimonial for my site.

How does one maintain balance today?

Answering that question can be very challenging because of the many distractions and requirements for our time.  This is especially true for those that have kids.

One way, that many are turning to, is being in business for themselves.  Is this something that interest you? 

If you say, YES!, then the next step is finding the right opportunity.  And as my reader I expect you to be smart,

… and what I mean by that is to look at the many opportunities out there and do your due diligence.  You owe it to yourself to look at the many opportunities and find the one that makes the most sense for you.

I already found what works for me and I discuss it in my article called Direct Marketing that you can find on this site.

Here's an easy way for you to discover more about this business model – I give a presentation on Tuesday and Thursday of every week.  The times are always the same, 11:00 am EST and 8:00 pm EST (New York time.)

Hey guys!

I hope everybody is doing well?  Today's article is actually something I've been thinking about for some time and finally had an opportunity, due to a break in the action.

Even though our economy is not healthy, there is still so much opportunity for all of us.  Many reading this already understand what I'm talking about.  The opportunity is simple:  Get yourself online making a second income and then make the second income your first, if that is what you want.  LOL, does that make sense?  Of course, I'm a bit crazy and love to stay engaged with my business so I keep my job because I love it.

Here's an article that reinforces this thought about Starting a Business…

Business Startups in a Down Economy Are a Great Idea | Business …

If you want to start your own business, start now! Take the time to thoroughly plan your idea by making a virtual road map of your venture. Figure out the best options for every aspect and begin putting the pieces in place for launch. …

However, making a second income from multiple sources is really cool and frankly smart!  I've been around the block several times and nothing is worse than seeing somebody that has a JOB because they think it's secure, only lose it.  The only person you can trust is yourself when it comes to determining your financial well-being.   As soon as you realize that, the better off you'll be.

For those that want to replace their job follow these steps (very simplistic explanation….I know)

If your Job is your primary income but you want to replace it…

1. Identify what skills you have that can translate into a product (Video, Audio, or eBook – Maybe even coaching);
2. Get clear on what you have to offer – you don't have to be an expert – trust me you probably know a lot more about what you picked then many others;
3. Set Up a Self Hosted WordPress Site and capture the names of your visitors with an opt-in form;
4. Put your offer together;
5. Use this as the basis for your content on the WordPress site;
6. Set up a merchant account such as paypal.com or clickbank*com to receive payments;
7. Test your call to action to see what converts the best;
8. Drive traffic to the site (social media, PPC, articles, etc);
9. Test some more;
10. Send more traffic.

That's it!

Once you start figuring it out then amp it up with more sites and more products.
