An Index Card Is Your Best Friend.

By Mr WebbyFied

They say there are a thousand ways to skin a cat.

I figure, why not go pick the best?

When you are trying to maintain focus, and are trying to remain proactive in reaching your goals, there are sometimes so many distractions that keep you from ever getting where you're headed.

The worst of these comes from your very own mind. Your thoughts can take you from goal oriented and effective, to "let's see what's on t.v." in a matter of seconds.

You need to harness your mind to the best of your ability, at every available moment. The problem is, you can not always keep these thoughts in mind. You're going to have ideas that absolutely clash with the ones that get you going, and, depending on how you feel at any given time, you might believe those clashing thoughts and forget why you were motivated in the first place.

You have to create a system that will help you remember why you began in the first place, and why it is that you will finish.

This method only requires a sharpie, and some good old index cards.

To start off, you'll need to be in the correct mind state. If you aren't feeling enthusiastic about your goals at this moment go do something that isn't work involved, and come back when you are. You will have to tap into the pattern of thinking that provides you with those goals and ideas that really get you excited, and that push you to do what you must.

If you are prepared, keep your sharpie and index cards ready, and close your eyes and begin to bring up all of the reasons that you really desire what it is that you want. Give yourself very specific examples here, so they really motivate you when you need them.

If you can't seem to get to the heart of it, keep asking yourself why. Why would you want this? Why would it change your life?

You'll find that motivation soon enough.

When you finally have it, write it down on the card, in big letters. Make sure you'll be able to read it from wherever you are in the room.

When that's done, place it somewhere that will allow it to serve as a constant reminder. It will bring you back to that state of mind and will assist you in staying driven and focused.

Once that's done, do it again and again, until you have enough motivators. There may be days that one motivator doesn't quite work out, but another one will.

If you are worried about the way they look, keep them in a picture frame. It'll be a little more pleasing, and you might even take the idea more seriously.

This simple act can mean the difference between your success as an online business owner, or your failure.

Do not take it lightly.
