It’s so easy to get distracted from your primary business purpose, particularly when you’re working for yourself.

At the beginning of the day, the deluge of emails can be overwhelming and it’s tempting to spend hours wading through them.

If you’re going to be successful, it’s essential that you stay focused on your primary aim – to build a successful business.

Here’s 7 tips to success for business building:-

Decide what your primary aim is – whether you want to build a successful site selling ebooks, build an information site, be an eBay powerseller – whatever it is, you need to know the one thing you’re aiming for

Set Targets – create targets to help you achieve that goal. Break them down into daily, weekly and monthly targets. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time ! That’s also the smart way to build your business, don’t get overwhelmed by how far you have to go, work out what steps you need to take to get there.

Make them SMART - Smart targets are specific, measureable, achievable, realistic and time-limited. For example, for a new website, your target might be “to sell $100 worth of products within 90 days”.

Write it down - write down your targets in bullet pointed format – and put them somewhere you’ll see them every day. This is a helpful reminder to keep doing something every day and can also help you stay on task when you’re tempted to get distracted.

Create Rewards - add in rewards for when you reach goals. In our example, how would you choose to reward yourself for actually achieving $100 of sales ? Celebrate each step of success along the way.

Keep going - even when nothing seems to be happening, keep working at it. Most businesses need a lot of ground work before anything starts to happen – a bit like a building site, where they seem to spend ages on the foundations, and yet it’s just a matter of days when the actual building finally starts to appear.

Focus, focus, focus – stay focused. Don’t get distracted from your main purpose.

Keep working towards your goals and don’t quit!
