Hocus Pocus ? No. Focus - by Philippe Moisan

Katrina invited me to post in the TGRP blog, so here is my post

It is very easy to lose focus of the things you have to do to move forward with your Internet Marketing business.
So many things try to get our attention :
  • Emails
  • Private Messages
  • Surfing on TEs
  • Buying that new hot product
  • Posting on a blog
  • Reading an article
  • Seeing a video
  • etc…
No wonder we get confused. Especially when that first dollar hasn’t been made. We go from one opportunity to another, from one article’s advice to another free eBook given if we sign up, to that awesome special offer to buy credits for a low price.
Where are your priorities ?
Define them. Take the time to list the actions that will get you closer to your goals,
When the to-do list is complete, choose an action and accomplish it. At once.
You’re not sure ? You don’t feel like ? Maybe in 30 minutes ? Right after you respond to that email from your associate ?
I’m telling you straight : what you need is self-discipline.
How does one acquire it ?
Brian Tracy wrote a book about a method that works when applied, according to him.
It is simple. Not easy. You will meet internal resistance.
The book is called “Eat That Frog”
In simple terms, the method described in the book is :
  1. Define the actions to take today
  2. Choose the one action you don’t want to do, i.e. the ugliest one, the frog Smile
  3. Accomplish that task before anything else
The rest of your day will be so much easier. After all, the other actions will be more pleasant, you just finished the worst one.
Try it. You’ll see for yourself.
The next day won’t be any easier. You’ll have a frog for that day too.
RInse and repeat. Apply the “Eat that frog” method.
They say a new habit is acquired after 21 days.
I believe doing the frog method will become second nature, after a while.
I’ll give you some feedback in future posts. I apply the method starting NOW. Smile
