Day one of the business was great. I was up at 8:00, wrote several really good articles for itintl.com and dieselearth.com and a solid blog post. Today however has me up at 10:00 in the morning. It will take a huge amount of discipline to get the same amount of productivity out of myself that others have been able to achieve by employing me. I don’t expect myself to have the phenomenal will it would take to be pro-active 24 hours a day, so instead I’m trying to achieve this by setting systems in place for others to motivate me. I have a tremendous sense of responsibility when it comes to other people relying on me, so I’m looking to focus my efforts on the initiation of a project and then have others rely on me to make their work successful. From experience I know this will have the effect I’m looking for. For example, I’m setting up another SiteShare partner website today with the theme of small business networking and marketing (website under construction). I’ll expend the initial effort to establish the site and will then rely on the author (a fantastic lady who’s writtn some really great articles in the past for howtoadvertise.net) to ask me to post her articles. This allows for me to be proactive 20-30% of the time and reactive for the remainder which I feel is more realistic.
