There is an interesting phenomenon in the online marketing business and it goes by the name of “program hopping”. Many of you will have encountered it, most of you will have succumbed to it, and a lot of you will continue to fall victim to it!
I know from personal experience how easy it is to jump from one “next best thing” to another. You may even, like me, have justified it in your mind as “research”. You may have kidded yourself that you were “diversifying” or “building multiple streams of income”.
There is nothing wrong with research, and certainly much benefit to be gained from diversification, but it needs to be done the right way. Remember the saying “walk before you can run”? That applies to online marketing on many levels.
So make a commitment to yourself right now; identify your PRIMARY business and give a minimum of 90 days where you are focused on that and that alone. Ignore any other “great opportunity” that comes your way and build your primary business.
Once your core business is up and running, once it is providing you with income, and once you get to where it needs minimum attention to KEEP running, that is the point at which you can look to add another income stream.
I recently made a similar commitment to Changing The World 2Gether, and even went so far as to CANCEL memberships of various systems I had joined. It was actually quite a sobering experience to realize just how many things I had joined in the last 12 months for “research purposes”. Even more sobering was realizing how much I had spent, and was continuing to spend on systems that were simply gathering dust.
So my “biz op detox” went a little like this - I cancelled anything that had a physical product being sold via MLM. I cancelled membership of systems that paid out on referring other members. I even dropped my Direct Matches account back down to free status.
The money being spent on those systems can now be used on the ONE BUSINESS that I am focused on for a minimum of 90 days.
Like a more conventional “detox” I feel a heck of a lot better, my focus is very clearly defined, and my time and energy are being used more effectively. The previous approach was in danger of derailing my successful business activities.
If this sounds like you, start your business detox TODAY!
