Focus and Purpose Needed

My new beginning is exhilarating and scary at the the

same time. When you have dreamed doing something for a

long time and finally it is time for action you are very

excited and yet there are doubts and anxiety too.

The answer is to focus on what you want, not what you do

not want. Focus on the rewards of accomplishment. Focus

on the financial rewards. You will go in the direction

you focus on.

I thought "discipline" was a necessary ingredient in

making money online. Focus is more important. Being

excited about the outcome you desire is important, but I

am now wondering about discipline.  

Discipline is associated with pain when we are young

children. Spankings and slaps or timeouts in this new age

of child rearing. Discipline is associated with doing

what others want us to do an not what we want for

ourselves. Discipline is a harsh word with negative

connotations.  

I am dropping "discipline" from my internet marketing

vocabulary. Old habits die hard and I may slip and use

it at one time or another, but focus and purpose are

better words IMHO (in my humble opinion).  

So far, I have created two blogs, but one will probably

not be used as I created it on Wordpress.com which has

strict advertising rules. I see where it could be a

good place to work within there TOS (terms of service)

but that will take some thinking, so I will blog here on

my own site using blogger.com.  

Blogging with blogger is probably one of the fastest and

easiest ways to start a blog. I haven't tried every

blogging site, but have used and heard a lot of good

about Blogger.  

So, I have a website,

http://www.ordinaryinternetmarketer.com and a blog as

http://www.blog.ordinaryinternetmarketer.com/blog.html

I am using 1and1.com . to host my domain and blog.

Right now 1and1.com is running a limited time special

where you can get a site up and running for $1.99. I am

going to create another site for part of what I am

planning.  

One of the things you want to do is take action on your

plans. One of the things you do not want to do it "TELL

ALL". Anything that is followed by a number of people

will get duplicated or even completely copied word for

word if it appears successful.  

So, I will tell you what I am doing, but I may not give

you the website I am doing it on. Seriously, people

actually stealing successful websites is a big problem

online.  

There are some sites you want to display. Such as those

that sell you products. Those that you want a lot of

people to know about in order to build your reputation in

the niche you choose to follow.  

So what niche is this blog going to follow? Internet

marketing of course. That is what I am doing. It will

not be a testimony to my expertise, it will be more

about my learning process and how someone with a little

knowledge turns that into cash in the bank. MY BANK and

maybe yours if I can inspire you to try to develop you

niche.  

Good things are already happening. Barrington Paige's

challenge is one of them and why this blog is finally a

reality.
