Lack of inspiration

What do you do when you are feeling uninspired and you don't feel like you are getting anywhere? In my house, I take a break. If I truly feel like no matter what site I go to I am getting nowhere, I know it is time to take a short break. Be it an hour or a day, I will do something else, preferably off the computer. If I feel I can afford a day or so I will do it. By taking this short break I give myself time to regroup. New offers get time to be put up on sites and sometimes I get inspired to submit articles on my writing sites. Since my goal this month is for 18 articles, I have submitted 11 articles to date so I am only 7 off of my goal. I may even exceed my goal at this rate. Of course, if I exceed my goal I will have to decide whether I want to stick with 18 as my goal for December, or do I want to increase that one? Sometimes my inspiration comes in the strangest of places. I have been inspired by an elevator ride, by a child in rehab, by a few major family crisis and by a local youth center. Whatever your inspiration, take a moment to stop and breathe a thank you to that inspiration and allow yourself to be blessed by it. Often after taking a break I am so refreshed that I can crank out 5 or 6 articles in a very short time. Oddly, I have discovered that those are the ones that I am offered the most money for. I think perhaps the break is a good thing. It helps me to regroup and in regrouping my writing improves and thus my income.

Goals

In order to work from home and have it work for you, you have to set goals. Whether its to work on an article for 2 hours per day, or to just edit your website/blog on a specific day every week, you are setting goals. If we do not set goals, we do not get things done. Its that simple. I have a daily goal to log into each of my money making sites and give it at least a quick once over every day. On my PTC sites I will always check to see if there are any ads available to click and make sure that I click them before I log out. I check to see if offers have credited and do any new offers available on my GPT sites daily and on my discussion sites I make sure to participate in at least a few of the discussions daily. This helps to keep my income steady and flowing smoothly. Of course, there is more that I do. I write articles and submit them. I set a monthly goal on how many articles I want to write each month. Last month I submitted 15 and published all 15. This month my goal is 18 and I have already submitted 3 of those so maybe I will exceed my goal. That is always a bonus and an incredible incentive. You can set your own goals and challenge yourself. If we do this on a daily basis our business grows and we grow right along with it. By working from home I can make my goals somewhat flexible in that I don't really have a specific time that each goal has to be done except by the end of the day. That is great because it leaves me room to be mom and stop for a quick story or to wipe away a tear. The beauty of working from home is the freedom to achieve my goals in my own time frame and not be required to answer to anyone else. What are your goals? Will you set one for yourself today?

Making Working from Home Work

I have been working from home now for almost a year. I have discovered many great opportunities for working from home and some that just weren't quite so good. I have learned about multiple streams of income and various ways to implement this into my at home business. So what exactly do I say when someone asks me what I do for a living? I tell them I am in Internet marketing and that I would love to share it with them sometime soon. If they press me for more information I hand them my business card and we make a plan to get together soon and get them up and going on their own Internet business. Over the next several weeks I will be adding more and more opportunities to this site to help you set up your own Internet marketing sites. I look forward to getting together with you as you build your own Internet marketing business.
