Educate Your Way To Success
By Raymond Johnston Jr
There are a number of factors that will determine your level of success in the Internet Marketing world. One of the most important is time management.
One of the hardest things for anyone in this business to learn, is where to focus your efforts to be the most productive.
I continuously read statements saying, I make more money now and spend less time working. I have no doubt this is true, but is that an option for someone who is just starting in this business?
Longevity itself, brings more experience, more contacts, more customers, name recognition. I could go on but you get the picture. A lot of the options that come from just being around for a while, are not there when you first start out.
This is true in most any business, not just those on the Internet.
In fact, I believe the lack of time or the misuse of time is the number one reason, only 2% to 5% will end up being successful.
Why does time management become so important?
The majority of people attempting to start a business on the Internet are still working another job. This allows a limited amount of time for most.
This makes it even more important, that you spend your time wisely.
There is no book or table to look at and know how to break up the hours that you do have available. But there is one thing you must do or you will have no chance of success.
Educate Yourself
Everyone is trying to cut corners, save a little time. Do Not and just to make sure this sinks in, Do Not, under any circumstances cut corners here.
I don't care what path you choose in life, without learning the ropes so to speak, you are not going to succeed.
Too many people think they will just learn as they go and disregard the education at the moment. You can and will learn as you go but the best time management tool you have is the ability to educate yourself now.
Human nature makes us want to think of today. The thought process tells us, we only have three hours we can possibly work. I need to accomplish something now, so I need to spend the entire three hours working towards a result I can see.
There are so many things to do. Work on your website, write ads, send in some ads to ezines that accept free ads. And the list goes on and on. There is so much to do and so very little time to do it.
I hear that little voice saying, I just don't have time to read and study today.
Resist the temptation to spend the entire three hours doing these tasks. Take at least an hour of that time and spend it educating yourself. Look beyond today and tomorrow.
It's a very hard thing to convince yourself to do. It's hard to see a big hunk of your time spent and not be able to see some visual results.
The more knowledgeable you become, the easier it is to manage your time.
The more time you spend educating yourself, the better the chances are that you will be one of those saying, I make more money and spend less time working.

Are You a Bridge Builder?
by John Boe
There are two kinds of people in this world, those that build bridges and those that don’t. Bridge builders are mentors; they share their experience and build bridges of encouragement and hope for others to cross. They are people of tremendous character and strength that give unselfishly of their time and talents. Bridge builders know the importance of taking time to help others without concern for credit or personal gain. They don’t build for recognition or tribute; they build because it is their nature to build bridges. Bridge builders are considerate people and do their very best to support others. They understand the power of a kind word, a timely phone call or a note of praise. If you are a bridge builder congratulations, the world needs you and is a better place because of the difference you make in the lives of others. How many bridges have you built lately?
The Bridge Builder
An old man going a lone highway,
came at the evening cold and gray,
to a chasm vast and deep and wide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim,
The sullen stream had no fear for him;
but he turned when safe on the other side
and built a bridge to span the tide.
"Old man," said a fellow pilgrim near,
"You are wasting your strength with
building here; your journey will end
with the ending day. You never again
will pass this way. You’ve crossed the
chasm, deep and wide, why build a bridge at evening tide?"
The builder lifted his old gray head;
"Good friend in the path I have come,"
he said, "there followed after me today
a youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm that has been as naught to me,
to that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be.
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim.
Good friend I am building this bridge for him!"
