Being an <a href=”http://www.ebooksandlinks.com/”>online home business</a> owner, you need to
have 3 extremely important things, if you
really want to be successful.

Firstly, you need to have a Expert or
Mentor.

Don’t know much about Copy Writing,
Internet Marketing, Or Website Design?
Don’t worry, most people don’t. What you
need to do is play smart. You need to find
yourself someone who has, “been there,
done that”, an Expert. Finding yourself a
mentor can be a huge advantage to you;
both financially and mentally. This can be
seen in that the majority of people
who try to establish a <a href=”http://www.ebooksandlinks.com/”>online home business</a>, have absolutely no
idea what they’re doing. This can be a
massive hurdle, as money is spent and
lost, and the mental hardship continues to
erode any determination.

Secondly, having a back-up plan can be a
big help.

Trying to establish and run, or simply
start a home business, is likened to being
a boat captain, with no life rafts. If the
boat starts to sink, you really have no
option but to go down with it. The same
principle applies to having a home
business. Even though we may try as hard
as we can, some things just don’t work.
This is where your back-up plan comes in
handy. Make sure you give your home
business every chance it can to be
successful, but if it doesn’t all go
right, don’t be afraid to cut your losses
and move on to plan “B”.

Thirdly, and this is a big one. To be
successful, you need something which a lot
of people don’t have. Unstoppable determination
and desire.

Interestingly enough, this is the sole
reason why the majority of people don’t
succeed online. They don’t have that
“x-factor”. They don’t have that
relentless desire and determination.
Here is something which you should write
down, and read every time you wake up,
before you go to sleep, while you make
your cup of coffee or tea–while you do
anything, in fact.

“Whatever your success achieved, it will
be in direct proportion to the
determination and desire which you
expressed. More desire, more
determination, the greater the success!”

Here is an example to illustrate my
point:

I’m sure we’ve all heard of Kobe Bryant,
right? Most people believe that it’s his
excellent talent that makes him the
special NBA player he is. In saying that, his
amazing talent does play a big role in his
success. Want to know what really makes
him such an amazing player? It is his
desire and determination. Put simply, he
just wants more wins, more championships,
than anyone else on the court.

Thats how you, the new <a href=”http://www.ebooksandlinks.com/”>online home business</a> owner, must learn
to think and act. You have to want your
success with your entire being. Every part
of your body, mind and soul, must be
screaming, “I want to be successful!”, and
you have to make sure nothing can stop you
from being successful–nothing!

And just remember,

“Whatever your success achieved, it will
be in direct proportion to the
determination and desire which you
expressed. More desire, more
determination, the greater the success!”

1.  Categorize Information and Create a Master Outline

Look at your business and decide how you want to categorize your information. For example I have: Administration, Marketing, Finances, etc. as my Master Outline and than under those larger categories, I create subcategories: My sample

Administration

Policies & Procedures
Forms / Templates
Business Structure
Clients

Marketing

Brochures
Business Cards
E-zine Content
Networking Groups

Create tabs for the Master Outline and use on hanging folders, use manila folders with labels for your subcategories. Make sure that you give all files a name, do not use Miscellaneous as a file name, because the file will began to accumulate papers and you will not be able to find items easily and quickly. You can use this same format to keep electronic files as well.

2. Create a Tickler File System

Get twelve manila folders and label them January – December, then you will need 31 more vanilla folders labeled 1 – 31 for the days in the month and two additional folders labeled for the upcoming years. As I am writing this it is 2006, so you would create a 2007 folder and a 2008 folder.

Which ever month that you are currently in, include the days of the month folders (1-31). Whenever you have a planned task, appointment, project deadline just put the information in the folder that you need to get it done. For example, If I need to complete and submit an article to a publication that my target audience reads on December 15, 2006, than I would put the contact information and due date and a checklist in the folder for December 15, 2006. On Dec. 15, everything that needs to be done is in my tickler file.  Review you tickler file daily.

What if I am planning to attend a conference in May 17, 2008, than I would put all the necessary information in the 2008 file and file those items according once I get to that month and year. Tickler files should also be in sync to your daily planner.

3. Purge Your Filing System

Do not let files contain more 25 – 30 pieces of paper. It is best to block time on your schedule once every three months to go through your files to see if there is any information that can de discarded or scanned and saved electronically.  Check with your accountant and banker to see how long documentation should be retained. Also check out www.bankrate.com/brm/news/mtg/20000518h.asp it contains a checklist of how long you should keep financial documents. You must keep your filing system neat and easy to obtain the information you want when you want it. It is best to keep the most used files near you in your desk drawer.
