What am I trying to accomplish?

Some days, you wake up to challenges...

The alarm clock didn't go off. The modem isn't working. The milk has spoiled.

And yet, with those challenges come opportunities...

You awake to sunshine streaming through a window. You enjoy reading a newspaper instead of quickly scanning news online. You drink your coffee black, and realize you like it better that way.

What if you could turn all your Home Buyer Assist business challenges into opportunities, too?

It's possible.

Here's the secret: Focus attention on the daily tasks that will lead to success.

Before you make your coffee... Before you butter your toast... Before you drop the kids off at school or complete any part of your morning routine, ask yourself this question about your business goals: "What am I trying to accomplish?" More specifically, "What am I trying to accomplish today?"

It's a short question, but it packs a big punch.

Let's say, for example, that the idea of having a successful online business like the We Provide The Cash business created by John Alexander is enormously attractive to you. Not only does it sound cool to say "entrepreneur," it gives you the potential to make lots of money without spending much upfront. Yet, the same low-cost barriers to entry for an online business can mean a low probability of profit if you can't address the question: "What am I really trying to accomplish with this business?"

Whatever your goals, whatever your talents, you have to give this question your full attention every day. Anything less will lead you in the wrong direction - closer to frustration and further from your goals.

So, ask yourself again: "What am I trying to accomplish?" And continue to ask this question every day, several times a day, to maintain your focus.

Many wannabe online entrepreneurs struggle with this question. It's not because they lack confidence. It's not because they are trying to be evasive. It's simply because - no matter how long they have been thinking about building an online business - they just haven't given the question sufficient, serious thought.

What are you trying to accomplish with your Home Seller Assist online business?

If you choose to give your attention to something that will become your livelihood, you should certainly know what you hope to accomplish with it, right?

Think about companies like Starbucks and Apple. Their corporate and critical successes are due to passion, customer service, and paying attention to the right things.

You have to find those same magic seeds for your online business.

Without a well-researched and well-executed plan for growth, you stand little chance of succeeding as an online entrepreneur in a world of competitors.

Remember, the Internet is not located on a street corner. It's located on the World Wide Web. Your competitors may be anywhere on the globe. Are you ready to compete with them and win?

Do you know what you want to accomplish long-term? Just as important, do you know what you have to accomplish on a daily basis to reach that goal? Do you know what you have to accomplish today?
