Everyday your online, literally hundreds of pieces of information arelaid out before you, and ALL of them claim to contain knowledgecritical to your online success.Now obviously we can't read all of it, nor do we need to do so.Therefore, isn't it about time we finally took a few moments todiscuss just exactly what areas we DO need to focus our time on?That way WE are in control over what we read, not those wantingus to read it.The majority of information we find is about 'how to market', butreally that's only ONE of the areas where we need to focus. Andnot only that, but 'how to market' is information completely uselesswithout adequate knowledge in the other equally importantcategories.So, let's briefly outline ALL of the key areas where we need toobtain knowledge in order to build successful online businesses.Then, we can be more selective as to what we NEED to spend ourtime on.1. HOW TO FOCUS AND ELIMINATE DISTRACTIONSTrust me, mental strength is essential in developing and growing aprofitable business. This is one topic your online business cannotlive without.Working from home and being your own boss present differentchallenges than a traditional job. You must be self-governing andself-driving. Both traits common to millionaires and other highlysuccessful people.So, be honest with yourself, do you have this area well in hand?Can you focus and meet your daily goals?No one is totally immune to distractions, but there are things we cando to eliminate the majority of them and save ourselves a lot oftime.Two major tools include, working from a daily 'to do' list, ANDmonitoring our own activities.It sounds oversimplified, I know, but just plain getting down onpaper what needs done saves a massive amount of time. It gives usdirection, control, the ability to prioritize, and most importantly ithelps us to stay focused.As well, we need to police our own actions. Occasionally, I take aday or two where I write down exactly when I start work, when Itake breaks, what I get done during each time period, and when Iquit.It's a very educational practice. It's taught me to identify whatthings are taking away my time, what can be done faster, and whattime of day I get the most done. Time-management puts you wayahead of your competitors and gives you a quantum leap towardsachieving your goals.Obviously, everyone has different distractions, schedules, andpriorities. However, focusing a portion of your learning time ondealing with this topic will be of great value to your overall business.2.

Who do you prefer to sign under? Someone youknow is successful and willing to show you the way.'Follow the leader' may be a child's game, but it's one that teachesus to look for the best people to place our trust, and money, in.Learning more about what it takes to lead and inspire will onlybenefit your business no matter what stage of the game you are in.Another aspect of leadership often overlooked, EXCEPT by thosethat are highly successful, is creating a genuine desire within yourselfto help others succeed.The best leaders are those that serve their follower's interests.Educate yourself on quality leadership practices and put them intouse.

How do you earn theirrecommendations? How do you work with others for mutualbenefit?First, simply start by being honest and trustworthy in all your dealings.People talk about and seek out products and services that benefitthem.
