Email Overwhelm! (Not even MyInternetBusiness can fix this)
KISS (Keep it SO Simple!)
MyInternetBusiness is a simple system that works. Unfortunately, we’re all human and as humans, we tend to make simple things complicated when they don’t have to be.
One of the Biggest Culprits!
Email. More specifically, email from Internet “gurus” (and wanna-be gurus). The reality is, if you’ve been around the Internet attempting to make money for any length of time, you’re probably facing a mountain of emails every day. It get’s crazy.
I’m a perpetual student. I love to learn and I’m always looking for new ideas to grow and improve my business and improve my own expertise and knowledge about marketing on the Internet.
Are you Guilty of this?
The Hazard of this, is I can hardly resist reading emails from anyone that looks like they might have something I could use . . . which, frankly, seems like everybody! LOL!!
But I just don’t have time to read all of these emails and act on them (if I feel like I need to), so I create files for each of my favorite “gurus”, etc. and put that email in there “for later”. Yeah, right! Naturally I never have time to get back to them . . . and soon they’re forgotten (and taking up space on my hard-drive).
Now I have a ridiculously long list of files that I can hardly keep track of.
Bottom Line:
I’ve finally started “opting out” of even my favorite gurus because even if their information or products are great—which they often are—what good are they sitting around un-viewed by me.
My guess is, you probably have a business “game-plan” that you’re working on. Frankly, a flood of email offers & info. will probably only serve to side-track you and lose focus on it. Hey, we’re all subject to the “grass-is-greener-over-the-fence” syndrome at times, and as you’re working hard in your business it may be tempting to think (especially as you’re reading their extremely well-written sales copy!) somebody else has a “magical-pill” business that isn’t going to require as much work.
This is how people NEVER be successful online: Always chasing the next big thing!
Stay focused. Keep working your business fundamentals. Focus on building your contact list.
