Will You Add? - How to Get a Big Project Done Faster
You probably do not remember how easy it was to get your first credit card or loan. You also do not remember your lenders putting out the red carpet because they thought you would repay your loan on time, and come back for a new one before long. This affair with your lenders continued as they gave you credit, loans, and a bonus gift to thank you for your business. However, one or more things may have happened to spoil your aff

If you think affiliate marketing is easy, then you are wrong.Over the years, I have seen plenty of affiliates who fail in their online venture. In fact, statistics have shown that 20 percent of affiliates produce 80 percent of all income; while 80 percent of affiliates generate 20 percent of all income.This may be a sad figure, but it is true.To succeed in affiliate marketing, you need more than just puttin
Writing an entire website from scratch in just 6 working days (and no, I didn't work over the weekend) is no mean feat to accomplish. And it's not like I had all day, every day to do it either. I had coaching clients, teleclasses, email to take care of. You know, the usual demands any business likes to make of us.
What I didn't do is put it off, tell myself I couldn't do it, or lose sight of my goal. My new website was going live NO MATTER WHAT!
Before I share with you the five actions I took to get a big project done quickly and easily, let me ask you a question:
What is a project you have on your desk right now? How great would it feel to have it finished?
So, here are the 5 actions I took to make starting—and finishing—my project possible. They'll work for your project too if you just say "yes" and don't let any excuse stand in your way!
Action #1 Decide
I'm not talking about the wimpy kind of decision that sounds
something like, "Sure, I'd like to get three speaking gigs lined
up soon." That isn't a decision. It's just wishful thinking.
The kind of decision I'm talking about sounds like, "I have three new speaking gigs at the end of the week!"
Action #2 Attention
Since this project is a priority you give it attention. What
amazes me is that it doesn't take much time, it just takes
attention to get what you want accomplished.
I gave my website project attention every day. No slacking, no excuses. I just did it. I didn't work on it full time because I didn't have full time. It still got done.
Action #3 Aim
Being a perfectionist, I embraced this project as the perfect
opportunity to aim for a different goal. Completion, not
perfection. What a relief! I knew if I fiddled with each page
until it was perfect I would never meet my goal. So up those
pages went. Perfectly, wonderfully, imperfect. Now that the
project is done I can fiddle with the pages all I want. Or not.

BackgroundPrint & Web was conceived to address the print and web development needs of SMEs, micro businesses, not for profit businesses, charities, sole traders, partnerships and the general public who until now have been ignored or overcharged by the traditional print and web development suppliers.

To keep up to date on the latest techniques and information (and to spy on the conversion and marketing processes of others) I subscribe to a TON of newsletters, ezines and mailing lists.Well, from time to time (to keep my inbox borderline manageable) I go through and unsubscribe from any lists that are not sending quality information.I just got this response when I clicked the unsubscribe link in an email from on

Low cost tax preparations services make their money on high volume business, but to achieve these high volumes they need two things; one, they need new clients and two, they need those clients to tell friends to generate some first class word-of-mouth advertising. But how can they get those first sets of clients in the door to launch their business into orbit?Well I believe that a robust yet inexpensive marketing and adv

Big projects have lots of little steps. I was not about to let
overwhelm sneak in and sabotage my progress. So I made a list of
each step, down to the last nitty-gritty detail. Then I worked
the list. It kept me on track and made it easy to celebrate
success as each item was checked off.
Action #5 Team
I started my project last Thursday. By Monday (about half way) I
said, "Why am I doing this all alone?" and promptly emailed a
long list of items to my trusty virtual assistant, Kathy. She
plunged in and had a blast blazing her way through her
assignment.
I felt relieved. She was cheering me on. And her help ensured my success.
Now it's your turn! Pick a project that's been hanging around too long and follow the same simple steps I use. Then let me know about your success and I'll send you a personalized congratulations email!
