What is the number one secret to online entrepreneur success?

I’m sure there’s more than one answer, depending on who you talk to.

With so many ways to make money online and different resources and skills needed, there IS NOT one-fits-all answer.

But I believe, there is one secret habit that will guarantee you success at whatever legitimate online business you’re working on.

What is that habit?

Well, BEFORE I tell you what it is; let me tell you what BAD HABIT most all unsuccessful entrepreneur possess. This is especially true for ONLINE ENTREPRENEURS!

The answer might sound so simple, you might stop reading the rest of this blog!

But I encourage you to keep reading.

The worst problem IS NOT:

Having a good mentor.
Having a good business model.
Having the right skills.
Having enough cash flow.
Having enough time.
Having enough traffic or leads.

…. ALTHOUGH these are all essential for a good online business.

But, in my opinion the worst problem is PROCRASTINATION!

I know, that sounds simple and hardly the number one problem, right?

WRONG!

“If you don’t stay focused on your goals, you will spend your life achieving the objectives of other people, particularly those who are goal oriented.” Page 176, 10X Rule.

Why is procrastination so easy with online businesses?

…. BECAUSE:

It’s easier to have broken focus!
It’s easier to experience delays and distractions!
It’s easier to fail daily goals because of difficulty keeping organized between stopping and continuing your tasks.

Listen to what author Grant Carbone said about his experience with SUCCESS.

“The first three years of my life as a salesperson was hard work and gave me sporadic results at best. Then I committed two years and thousands of dollars to improve my approach, and selling was no longer work!”

Online businesses require a lot of stop and go tasks. So, as I said earlier procrastination is the biggest problem to online business success.

That mainly happens because of the failure to continue unfinished tasks.

Finally; here are two VERY VERY VERY important skills I recommend you do that will increase your productivity 100%.

This is the secret habit to success online!

1) Begin and finish each day by writing your goals down and reviewing them. But don’t only write them down on the computer!

2) Place these goals on a WHITE BOARD or BULLETIN BOARD in your office, near your computer or workspace. I’m talking about a white  board on your wall with with plenty of dry-erase markers to code your work and tasks. Put it somewhere where you have to walk by it every day, every hour.

If you use this white board, watch your procrastination take a nose dive!

Remember “THE SECRET OF YOUR SUCCESS LIES IN YOUR DAILY ROUTINE.”

Why is that white board so important?

What you keep before your eyes you will not forget.
What you keep before your eyes will stay fresh.
What you keep before your eyes you will pick up quickly.
What you keep before your eyes will force you to get it done!

When you work on a computer, it’s easy to hide things in folders, in files…

When you work on a computer, it’s easy to forget where things are.

When you work on a computer, it’s easy to get frustrated!

If you don’t think a tangible board is important to your success; take notice of how many successful online marketers use white boards in their offices!

Enough said!
