Procrastinate Your Way Out of Business
 
Procrastination can be the death knell of any business and that is doubly true for your online business.  Working for your self requires a form of self discipline to get the work done as well as strong time management skills.  If your previous work history has involved working for someone else then you may not totally grasp this concept as yet, but read on as we learn about the perils of procrastination.
 
What is Procrastination?
 
Procrastination is where you put things off or find excuses for not doing a task that needs doing.  Some of the common procrastination techniques employed by online business owners can include spending huge amounts of time on social network sites like Facebook or twitter; taking phone calls when you are supposed to be working on a project for a client; taking too many long lunches or simply not bothering to get out of bed before lunchtime.
 
The Importance of Prioritization
 
Setting priorities is a crucial time management tool that when used effectively can ensure that your business goals stay on track.  If you start your day with a clear idea on what needs to be done first you will get more achieved through the day especially if you schedule your time, which we will discuss in the next chapter.  Most people use some form of to-do list to keep track of what needs to be done and when but a to-do list can be dangerous if it is not used correctly.
 
The Dangers of the too Long To-Do List
 
One of the biggest problems with to-do lists is that they can often become a rod that we hit ourselves over the back with.  If you have more things on your list than you can comfortably do in a day then your list is too long.  

Sticking to a Schedule

Once you have prioritized the things you need to do in a day you then need to fit those tasks into a schedule so that they all get done.  The most important thing to do when working out a schedule is to be realistic about how long things will take to get done. You also need to remember to include things like time for traveling if you go to the gym, or how long that phone call to your mother will really take.  No, those two items are not necessary in running a business but your schedule won't only include business tasks.  A good schedule will cover the things you do in business, your social events, personal appointments and even some well-needed "me" time.  If you have to go to pick your children up from school that will be on your schedule as will be that call you have been putting off to your mother.
 
When you set up a schedule it is obvious that your tasks are going to be different every day of the week.  But a good schedule should start with you blocking off certain times for work, socializing, family commitments and the things you like to do as well like going to the gym.  When you have blocked off your day into those main components you can then start fitting in the tasks you have prioritized for the day into the relevant blocks.

Learn to Grow Your Business

 
You may have thought you finished learning when you left college but the most successful people in all areas of life are people who see learning as a lifelong process.  Now you are determined to focus on your online business you need to schedule yourself time to learn.  This might not necessarily be book learning although books are always a good source of material.  You can learn from your competitors through networking; you can take courses, attend seminars or webinars; you can spend time with a business coach or mentor.  Yes most of these things will cost you money but this is one area of your business that should not be ignored.
 
The Importance of Networking
 
Running an online business can often be a lonely endeavor.  The very nature of the business will mean that in many cases you are only contacting other people via email or Skype - the potential for dealing with people face to face, unless you are working for offline clients, is limited.  
 
Creating Your Master Plan

 Every business needs a solid and long term business plan.  This plan should include all of the elements you want to concentrate on as your business grows including intangibles like your vision and mission statement.  A business plan does need some degree of flexibility in it to keep up with changes in your industry field, but it should be solid enough to show prospective investors, employees and other interested stakeholders where you see your business being in five years time.  Even if your business model is offering services to online clients you need to formulate a business plan that show how you intend to grow your business and what are the key things in your business that makes you stand out from your competition.  
 
What is a Business Plan?
 
A business plan is like a road map for your business.  It shows what your business will do and the goals you have for your business.  A good business plan will highlight all the major areas of your business and show what makes your business different from those of your competitors.


What is Procrastination?
 
Procrastination is where you put things off or find excuses for not doing a task that needs doing.  Some of the common procrastination techniques employed by online business owners can include spending huge amounts of time on social network sites like Facebook or twitter; taking phone calls when you are supposed to be working on a project for a client; taking too many long lunches or simply not bothering to get out of bed before lunchtime.  All of these examples are timewasters.  


Wool Gathering is Great for Sheep
 
You are building a website for a client - it is due in two days.  You are sitting at your computer, which is a good thing, but the screensaver is on.  So what are you doing when you are supposed to be working for your client?  You are wool gathering.  Wool gathering is the term used for people who seem to sit down and start their work, but who then seem to drift off into space.
