Are you dreading going to work tomorrow, are you like me so bored that at the end of each day you would be hard pressed to remember a conversation at work. You are in the wrong job. Do you want out of this or are you too frightened to take the next step and get momentum, if so please read on, these are four simple tips to getting on with an online business that you are in control of.

Make a Decision What You Want From Your Life

"It's your life, don't let others live it for you." This is a statement that the late Steve jobs made in front of a graduating class at a college in California in 2006. This statement is really two fold, firstly it is as it says, it's your life, and you live and die by your decisions and actions. Secondly it is telling you that if you allow other people they will dictate how your life will progress, how much money you will have, if you will be comfortable in retirement even your love life (how many of us has either been at the wrong end or had a new girlfriend or boyfriend at the wrong end of parental acceptance).

You have to decide for yourself exactly what it is you want from life, one exercise that I learned from Tony Robbin's at his fire walk seminar's is to create a list with two columns. In the first one write down everything that you are no longer going to accept, this can be from settling at work to not having negative people in your life, it's your list. In the second write down everything that you want from life, both personal and in business. Now you  have your list go over them and write a Mission Statement to yourself. This is what you want from life. The good bit is that you can at anytime re-write your Mission Statement if your circumstances or desires change.

You will not succeed unless you have a clear focus on where you want to be, so make a decision about exactly you want to do with your life and make it NOW.

You've Made Your Decision, Now Take Action

So now you have a clear idea of what you want, but how are you going to get it. My journey began when I started researching online business opportunities. With any business you are going to research the viability and if you believe you can do it. For me part of the reason I became involved in Affiliated Marketing was that the company I have joined with is both ethical and honest, offers training which is important as my knowledge was limited at the start, and support both from experts in the Affiliated Marketing world and a social network for members who like myself are learning as they go on, and pass on what they have learned and encouragement.

This may not be for you, it may be something totally different, but whatever it is take action. A decision will only be a decision and will not make a difference until action is taken.

Keep Motivated and Don't Get Discouraged

If you have the support and encouragement you need in your business you won't get down as easily as if you are doing it all on your own.Without a doubt you will face problems and obstacles in achieving your desires and goal. What you must do is remain focused. Imagine that house, car, holiday home, round the world cruise, whatever it is that you dream the most of, and use this as leverage, to continue on through the difficult times. Successful people know that things won't always be smooth, but the do know that they will get better if they continue to do what works. It is simple, when promoting an online business like affiliated marketing, you have got to keep submitting the articles, blogs, updating the website, etc, and it will work in the long run. You won't be given success on a plate, unless you have a large budget to get the professionals to promote for you.

Celebrate Your Successes's

When you have reached a goal you need to recognize this and celebrate this achievement. Take your partner of a nice meal, purchase those new shoes or even just pat yourself on the back and allow yourself a moment of smug satisfaction. Well done your deserve it. Now get up, set a new goal and start the process all over again. Affiliated Marketing allows me to keep the momentum going. it may be to make one more sale per day or week, and all I need to do is review where the success was achieved and amplify this to achieve more success. If you don't set new goals then you stagnate and lose the desire to achieve more success.

To Summarize

These Four Points to Stay Motivated and Promote your Online Business, is mainly about staying focused and keeping the momentum going. Never rest on your laurel. Firstly make a decision about what you want to do.  Secondly,  if you decided that you are serious about getting involved in affiliated marketing then get yourself a website and get the help and support that you require to get started and make a successful online business. Third, Keep motivated, remember that there will be up's and down's and keep doing what works. And lastly, celebrate when you have achieved a goal and get a new goal so that you don't stagnate, and keep moving forward.

Your destiny is in your hands.
