Slow and steady wins the race, so GREAT article, Andrew. Yes, fiddling with the visuals is counter-productive after a bit of time. It's all about building the links back to the blog and having a product to sell that will give a chunk of proft with ONE purchase. Doing a minimum of 1-2 tasks a day is ideal if you're lazy or just busy with another job. Build those links, build those links, I will try to remember this. Thanks again.

By doing this you will dramatically reduce the amount of time you spend working. I have a similar philosophy; if 20% of what you do produces 80% of the results, just focus on 20%.

For 25 years I was in the financial services industry. Each year I made it a practice to analyze where I had spent my time in the previous year. I then over layed this with where I earnt my money. This process was a simple way for me to see where I was most productive regarding hours spent and dollars earned. It always seemed to work out that 80% of my income came from 20% of my efforts. When I realised this trend I outsourced what I had to do for compliance and concentrated my time on doing more of the 20%. The upshot was I doubled my income and cut my workload by 50% I have never done this for my internet marketing business. Will be an interesting exercise I'm sure. Cheers Simon Hey Andrew

Another great post mate! Welly Mulia Hi Andrew,

I suffer from this consistently and have to remind myself that a lot of the things/tasks in my business are just not worth that much of my time and effort, and that I should focus more on more important things such as lead generation and conversion.

Another great post mate!

Andrew, I want to welcome you to Mexico and hope you enjoy your experience here as much as we have. We moved from Alberta, Canada to Mexico 15 years ago. Our first place of residence was Puerto Vallarta. Since then there have been many adventures. For the last ten years we have lived inland at Lake Chapala. There is a large expat community here, plus we are only 30 minutes from the large city of Guadalajara. Anyway, I am writing for a couple of reasons. First thanks for all your valuable help and information. Yours is the only information that ever made me any money online. I thank you for that. Second, my husband and I are going to be in Puerto Vallarta, actually Nuevo Vallarta from Feb. 6-13 and we are wondering if you would have time to get together and let us buy you a cold one. It would be our pleasure and you could pick our brains about living inland in Mexico. Hoping to hear from and wishing you the best. Hasta Luego, Penny Howe Good morning from sunny Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico.

Personally, I would like add that it is also important to consider your customers and what you can do for them, even if it takes your more time. Sure you can do better in the short term trying to make the most money in the least amount of time. But unless you also take into account how you can improve your customer support, your customer's experience, etc, it is simply a false positive that will hurt your customers and your bottom line long term. Be careful you don't confuse efficiency with shortcuts. Excellent points to be sure.

It really makes you cut out the crap and get things done. I think it's actually better to limit the time we use to work...as you know, work expands to fill the time...and who wants to work more than we need to anyway? Live it up mate!
