Overcoming failure in your online residual income business: Here are a few ideas to help you avoid some of the most common problems. 1. Set aside blocks of time for your business every week and set this time in stone. 2. Make a quiet place in the house for your computer where you won’t be disturbed. 3. Record your favourite television programmes if they clash with your work. 4. If the kids won’t let you work then set up special events for them as treats for letting you get on with it in peace. 5. Use your weekends and holiday to clear up any backlogs. 6. Plan your day effectively and honestly. 7. Give yourself enough breaks from your online business that you remain fresh and keen. 8. Make sure the idea you choose inspires you enough for you to make the effort on an ongoing basis. 9. Keep a notebook next to your PC with a to-do list for the next time you work. 10. Stick up on the wall next to your PC a picture depicting one of the main benefits you want from your online business. These simple techniques should be enough for you to avoid falling into the trap of letting time drift on without any work getting done on the site. Remember that if you don’t look after your website and make it work then no one will do it for you. This is why you need to make the effort to stay focussed and remain concentrated on it. Another problem which can be hard to resolve is that of wanting to do everything yourself. Not everyone is relaxed about the thought of looking for help or outsourcing work. However, this concept is absolutely essential if you plan to benefit from multiple income streams and really make a big success of your online work. Look at it this way, if you won’t be able to something until next month but someone else can do it right now for a fairly small fee then it has to be a good thing.

Being too much of a perfectionist is another area which makes a lot of internet entrepreneurs fall down. This particular problem can mean spending far too long on one task just because you want it to be absolutely ideal. There are times when you just have to step back and accept that you have done as good a job as needs to be done in the circumstances. This last point is possibly linked into the next one, and it is about not being decisive enough. If you think something is ok but you aren’t quite sure then you can lose a lot of time going round in circles. You will need to learn to trust your own judgement and act on it. The final issue which causes many failures is that of giving up too soon. If something is worth fighting for you are going to have to do just that and not give up at the first sight of problems.

While these points may make running an online business sound very difficult it isn’t really, and sticking to these basic ideas shouldn’t be too much to ask when you consider the benefits of doing it right.
