If you are anything like me you are desperately seeking the Earn Easy Money Online holy grail.  For me it’s finding a blueprint that leads you by the hand, shows you step by step what to do to get on the Internet Marketing (IM) merry go round.  I invested in a Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-350 – eBook reader – 5″ monochrome E Ink ( 800 x 600 ) – silver and it now goes with me everywhere.

The reader means that I can review pdfs I upload to it at my convenience.  I don’t have to be at my laptop to catch up on my reading.  It’s supposed to be an efficiency tool but it must be used with care.  I find that it is almost essential to have a small notepad with you to keep a record of ideas, links and action steps that are worthy of note.  Otherwise the E-reader provides an efficient library but the good stuff ends up being lost in there somewhere.

I fill my reader with the free reports we get offered all the time via email optins and items I purchase via the WSOs on the Warrior Forum.

The risk is that you always have something else to read.  There comes a point where you have to STOP and TAKE ACTION.

Another thing that pushes me to read the next document is an underlying fear of failure.  It’s weird but I would rather keep reading, hoping that the next report will give me the game plan to success, than take some action down the road to actually figuring out what the game plan is.  Not sure where this comes from.  It’s either from a relic of parental pressure when we were growing up or just some internal anal desire to be right all the time, but this is another big barrier to overcome.  The bottom line is that unless you get the ACTION ball rolling it will stay still.  By the way, once it’s rolling it’s easier to keep it going.

The best way to become successful is to just GIVE IT A GO.

That way it will either work (yippee) or it won’t.  If it doesn’t work you just found another way not to do it.  Try something different.  As they say about the lottery, you have to be in it to win it.  Now the best way to trip over the approach that does work is to get through the ones that don’t as quickly as possible.  So FAIL FAST and FIND FORTUNE.  OK a bit cheesy but you get what I mean.  The quicker you get through the ways that don’t work the quicker you will find one that does.

Another tool I have found that helps me get things done is The Action Enforcer.  This is a product from Dennis Becker the original $5 a day guy.  He is one of the few Internet Marketers I follow.  Most of them repeat the same old stuff and it’s a pointless waste of time to try and find diamonds is a sea of sh*t.  But, thats a whole other subject.  The Action Enforcer is a clever to do list app with stopwatch timers built in.  It lets you set to do items for the day and pre-allocate the amount of time you wish to spend on each.  You then FOCUS on each and with the aid of the timers keep focus and stop when your chosen time allocation is up.

There is an online version of Action Enforcer. This is FREE to use.  Or you can purchase the desktop version of Action Enforcer (note this is an affiliate link)
