I have joined an incredible community and bought a few products recommended, everything seems to be in the desired order, however I had to draw a plan on how to start generating that cash but it feels like I'm so out-paced by the demands of my activity plans to generate my desired return.

How does one overcome this very unproductive trap I seem to have let myself under?
My opinion is: " always seek advice in all avenues where it is available, but still use your head to figure out the best option". Before I run myself in large debts.

Am I on the right track?

Hey Dez ...

You're not alone.
In fact Mike Dillard did an entire product launch recently based largely on this dilemma.

I find myself running in circles quite often - it's that damn HDADD.

And what I found works best for me is to throw on some tunes, grab a drink, relax and open my notepad and mind map software and just let the ideas fly for about an hour.

All for the sake of clearing my mind and letting all those thoughts and ideas and mental energy driving me nuts and distracting me out of their cage and out of mu mind ... (most of the time. ok, some of the time)
I'm a mess.

anyyywayys .... Then I put it all aside.

Now I go back to my "Must Do" list.
If you don't have one of these you may want to give it a try too.

My "Must Do" list is a small priority segment of my "To Do" list that I use to keep me focused on the importnat stuff ... like makin' money. I know that may seem a little watered or whatever but it's true.

I've learned that for me at least I have to push through the clutter and identify the things that are going to increase the bottom line. Now that may sound like I'm just "in it for the money" and in reality that's somewhat true. I am. Reason being is I don't have a "job" - haven't had one for over 13 years.
So I have to focus on what makes money - I don't have a choice.
It's either that or go back to work ... ewwww gross - no thanks!

I learned a long time ago I am certifiably unemployable.
Anyway, back on point ... (see what I mean)

Get your to do list hammered out, then prioritize it by the things that will move you closer to your most important goal. I could spend all day talking about prioritizing those too, but i think you get the point.

I found by doing that, I typically wind up with 2-3, maybe 4 things that I absolutely have to do in any one chunk of time and space. I pull that list to a separate document and that's all I look at until those things are done.

Once I get through that (which often times takes me forever - but I push through), I'll go back to the list, take a quick inventory of where we are, recalibrating the plan to adjust for what was completed (or not) then start the process all over again.

The goal is to incrementally move forward, advancing your position on your lists and goals.
It's fairly strategic and structured which is honestly really hard for me, but it works - when I work it.


I hope that came out right and maybe sparks some ideas you can use to develop your own process.
cheers!

Just focus one thing at a time.

Personally, if you are going the internet network marketing route, focus on one aspect of lead generation, get good at it, automate it as much as you can, and then move onto the next task, and then the next, then the next.

Look at it like building a house, one brick at a time.

Best of success to you!

I hear you! I think everyone suffers from this to some extent - just make a todo list and stick to it. I also read recently about someone who broke down a new project in to 30 small chunks and aimed to get one chunk done each day, that way within a month his project was live.

It sounds like your on the right track doing your study upfront and then launching yourself in to it.

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Slow down. All things come to those who wait. One step at a time.
