Its Hard to build a business when your Dead!
G’day all.
I read a lot of Internet marketing literature. Online blogs like this one, articles, Newsletters, websites, everything I can get my hands on basically.
ALL the literature I have ever read has tips for looking after your business, your advertising, your customers, your products, your services, you mailing lists, your newsletter, your article writing etc.
WHAT ABOUT YOU!
You can’t look after any of this if you ARE DEAD!
So 5 Tips on not Dying while promoting your Internet Business.
- Drink WATER! Water is a clear Liquid that mostly can be retrieved from the TAP. (Not the toilet) Ideally you will require a container to move the water from the tap to your mouth. This container should be portable so you can have water handy at all times. In all seriousness: – It is amazing the difference being hydrated makes to your business. You are sharper, you write better ads, you make better decisions, you are better for your business with plenty of water on board. 8 Glasses a day Minimum that is 2 Litres, 2000ml etc.
NOTE: water is NOT coffee flavoured, does not generally come carbonated and it certainly does not contain alcohol. - TAKE A BREAK! Staring at your screen is NOT good for your eyes! Without eyes it may be hard to type and hence hard to build and promote your business. NOT impossible, just harder than it is now WITH eyes that work. Also your legs are there for ’short distance’ transportation. USE THEM. Every Hour GO outside for 5 minutes. Have a stretch, drink some water, eat a biscuit something other than sitting at your desk.
NOTE: Outside is on the other side of your external walls, to get there simply open a door and walk through it. Look up, if you see the sky you are outside. Reverse procedure to get back inside. - EAT! Keep up the fuel, just like water it makes you perform better if you are well fed. Food that has a NUMBER as an ingredient is NOT food. Make a sandwich, eat an apple, keep a bowl of mixed nuts and dried fruit handy. You are not running a marathon but your brain IS! Feed IT.
NOTE: eat your breakfast. Even if it is a piece of toast between cigarettes and coffees. It all helps and you will start to get hungry earlier. For god sake listen to your mum if not me! EAT BREAKFAST! - HOWS YOUR BACK? What about your shoulders? Chances are you are sitting at an unsuitable desk with a suitable chair in a suitable location in the house with an Unsuitable amount of noise and distractions. FIX IT! Get a proper DESK, make sure your eyes are level with the top of the monitor, and make sure your chair is right, feet flat on the floor People. Your work environment is important, if you’re not comfortable how can you perform at your peak? Your work time is exactly that, WORK time, don’t get distracted.
NOTE: Desks can be purchased from the local Vinnies, Salvos, and garage sales for peanuts. Next pay cheque GET A DESK and a GOOD Chair, they are tax deductions! - MOST IMPORTANT: keep the family onside. Yes building your business is important, very important, but so is your Childs sport carnival. Remember this? I am going to start a home business so I can spend more time with my family. Well you have the time now GO and hang out with them! Your business will not crash while you’re away. Spend time with your partner, show then your business and what you are doing. Having a happy family will make you happy and benefit your business by providing an employee (you) that is happy and motivated.
NOTE: Finish reading this turn off the computer and go hang out with the Family for a while. Or at least update the photo on the television cabinet, you have changed your hair and no-one recognises you.
Look after your Body and Brain they are your best Assets, Yes they where free but that is no reason to treat them like that. As at 25th July 2009 you can’t upgrade or trade in the battered old ones.
