Resolutions Update:
- Mentally. I have managed to finish a book by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer - Excuses Begone!: How to Change Lifelong, Self-Defeating Thinking Habits to help improve on my mental attitude which I also believe many Entrepreneurs will definitely benefit from (to stop giving yourself excuses due to personal limitations). I am on my second book now. So this leave me 29 books to go!
- Giving back. I have realized profit (already credited) of US$7.93 so I will be contributing $0.793 to both my Church and World Vision. As this is still a small amount, I will make the contribution once both hit $25.
- Health. Weight is currently at 72kg. And I am also consuming one less coffee each day. Good way to better health!
- Financially. As a Financial Planner, it seems like I am not doing well in getting people insured in the month of January. Which also means that I did not really hit my sales quota. This, which I hope, I can have a turn-around real soon. May God Bless Me!
- Online Entrepreneurship. In this area, I am more organized now by having proper planning and updating. Overall my sites are maintained and updated at least twice in the month.
What I Have Learnt As An Online Entrepreneur:
>> You must have a strong and positive mindset.
I am naturally a negative person and easily affected by the opinions of others (signs of low self-esteem). End day will be that the whole day is affected. This affects my attitude towards my customers (less enthusiastic face-to-face consultation) and also towards my style of blogging (writing sub-standard blog posts). Therefore a strong and positive mindset is very much necessary. As an Entrepreneur, you have to think of solutions around your problems and not to keep bothering about the problem.
>> You must understand what you are good with.
Many people say that I am crazy to maintain over 8 sites and that more sites will be created soon. They often say “Is this worth it and making you money?” These are really food for thoughts and though I may be better off concentrating one main site – end of day, I am contented and being able to produce good enough content and to improve on the functions of most of my site. Those with one site, one niche topic are good with just… One! I am able to handle 8 sites and 8 different topics which make me with multi-talents… Eight!
>> Do not be too obsessed with the monetary side – Every Day!
Most of my sites are supported with advertising and with affiliate products – which I have the temptation to check on the sales result… Every Day! If there’s no sales, I will start questioning myself where did I go wrong. This, in turn, affected my way of doing up my sites – every bit of actions/updates MUST generate a sale. This is totally wrong! I tried to change my thinking and to continue what I am used to doing. Guess what?! Sales are back!
>> Get What Is Needed To Be Done First First!
You are not reading it wrongly. There’s two Firsts. Given a choice to just laze around than to crack your brain to create a new blog post – most will choose the first one. And when you have seriously rested enough and would like to get back to real work… Guess what, you are drained! You will be merely trying to rush through your work. End result: Substandard Work! Vicious cycle of no results shall start!
These are the lessons that I have learnt during my journey as an Online Entrepreneur in the month of January 2010. What kind of experiences will the month of February bring me? This is going to be exciting!
My Wishes To All In The Month Of February!
Happy Lunar New Year To All Who Will Be Celebrating! May this new year refreshes you and bring you better perspective in life and in your business. May your actions bring you great wealth. Also stay healthy and do exercise! Also remember to give back instead of asking for something back!
Happy Valentine’s Day! Though this is a Special Day set for us to really show our love and appreciation to your special ones, you should make everyday a day of giving thanks to someone who has made it special for you. If you like to share your thanks, I have this site for you to post your thanks!
