Is Your Business Controlling You?

November 26, 2018 0
Is Your Business Controlling You?


Being a parent and husband / wife are two of the most important roles we have in life. 


Like it or not, our environment, work life, health and financial situation will all influence how we behave and interact with our nearest and dearest. 

It’s unfortunate that for so many of us, the stresses and strains of work & money can interfere with our ability to be present in the most important moments - those spent with our kids, playing and connecting, with our spouse when we really need to devote time to each other. 

You see life happens, it will through shit at you and sometimes that shit is had to take. It’s natural to feel the stress and pressure, the emotional deluge that life has to offer, but it’s vitality important not to let that impact our relationships with our partners children and family. 

This is certainly easier said than done. I know, I’ve lived it.

Until you identify and address the root cause of why you are not satisfied or why you are stressed, unfulfilled or depressed then you are not bringing your ‘best self’ to the table. 

And it’s ok, you are certainly not alone here. One quote by Dr John Demartini always sticks in my mind. 

That is “Most are living quiet lives of desperation, repressed by their job.” 

In my years of running my optical practice and from speaking with hundreds of other small business owners I realise this to be quite true. Especially so in recent years where the advancement of online infrastructure has caused major disruption to traditional businesses that refuse to adapt or are blindly unaware of it. 



But it is here where the opportunity lies in how you can free yourself from the despair and repression of your job or business.

This is the best time in history to be an entrepreneur. 

This is only true, however, if our business can grow and scale using the one infrastructure that gives us access to the globe. 

The internet, when used as an integral part of your business or even as your business, provides the means to free you from the burden of overheads, give you full control of where and when you work and can be used to generate substantially more income than you would struggle to obtain from your traditional business. 

It’s the knowing how to approach the online world so that you may set yourself up to succeed that is the key to your success.



It’s certainly not about working hard, it’s about working smart and follow specific systems that have been developed from the successful few who are securing their and their families financial futures through online business. 

It’s essential to learn from these people and emulate what they do to get you to the quickest route for success.

How To Deal With Too Much Work

February 08, 2018 0
How To Deal With Too Much Work

An online entrepreneur will always be busy but more work doesn't necessarily mean better results.
Sometimes, when trying to do everything yourself, nothing gets done very well. Aside from bad work productivity, the consequences of working too much can lead to anxiety, stress, being alone, and general bad health and fitness.


But your business won't operate by itself and you can't afford to hire somebody full-time. Maybe it's time to outsource some jobs to a virtual assistant.
Can A Virtual Assistant Help You?
A virtual assistant (VA) is similar to a private assistant that you connect with online and outsource work to them to do for you. Some VAs work on their own and some work via various websites as a way to more easily find clients.
They can charge on an hourly basis, by each task, or you can pay a monthly fee for services. Many VAs are happy to work out a fee framework with you that suits you both.
Only Pay For What You Need
You don't need to provide a VA with any resources to complete the tasks you need done. They should have everything that they need.


Using a VA actually can save you money, as well as time. You only pay for and seek the services of people to do work specifically when you need it. This means you can spend more time completing the tasks for your business that actually make money and take on extra work when it becomes available, as your VA can assist with the parts they can do.
How Can They Help You?
A VA can do a wide range tasks to help you in your online business. This includes administrative jobs, creation of content material, website construction and trouble-shooting or even social networking.
Some administrative duties are financial such as book-keeping, managing affiliate payouts, and keeping track of income sources. They can handle inbound and outbound email, sending certain kinds of email to you when your attention is required. They can also plan meetings, online seminars, or phone calls for you or help you plan your work week. This is particularly useful if you have difficulty with time management.
Your Success Is Their Success
Virtual assistants realize how vital it is to provide good work to you due to the fact your success is dependent upon the work they provide. The more successful you become, the more work that you will need them to complete for you.
The teach themselves to do jobs that are in demand. You simply use the skills you need for your projects, whether it's a long-term or on a project by project basis.
If you are spending too much time working, a virtual assistant can save you time and money. They free you up to do the most important tasks for your business. It's how the profitable online businesses generate the wealth and freedom their owners enjoy.

When You Should Change Your Digital Marketing Strategy

January 15, 2018 0
When You Should Change Your Digital Marketing Strategy

Digital Marketing is continually evolving and this may seem unsettling at times. Strategies that were working in past, might not be effective in the present. Do you know why many businesses fail to get ahead of their competitors? It's simply because they are not willing to adapt to the ever-changing world of digital media. 

But, the great thing about a digital marketing strategy is that you can change them on the fly in response to real-time results and analytics data. While this may seem tricky as if you change things too quickly, you may not be able to find if your strategy worked for long-term. But if you wait for a long time, you are likely to waste your two valuable resources: time and money.
With that said, how do you know when its the right time to change your Digital Marketing strategy? To help you keep up with the fast-paced industry, I've created this post to help you know when to change your digital marketing strategy.
Below are the 5 signs to help you decide when to quit your existing strategy.
1. Focusing on low-value metrics
If you're concentrating on low-value metrics like impressions and clicks, you may be missing out because impressions and clicks only let you know about your marketing visibility. And not the real accuracy of your strategies.
2. Only focusing on your brand not on audience needs 
Every marketer wants to spread their brand name but you should not overdo by pasting your brand name all over everything. In fact, make your content educational that focus on your audience problems and needs. 

This would really help you in targeting buyers in initial stages of the buyer's journey.
3. Over usage of keywords 
Although, it's required to place keywords in your content, Google's priority always lies in providing reach user experience and relevancy of content. Google has nothing to do with how many times your site shows the keyword like "Digital Marketing Strategy."
4. Don't rely on your instinct 
Your prior experience is certainly precious. But your decision-making process should not be only based on what worked in the past. It's a really bad idea as what worked tomorrow may be completely irrelevant today. Therefore guiding your marketing strategy through objective data will only get you better results.
5. Not integrated 
Whether it's about veteran digital marketer, sitting in IT or a start-up company, it's too common for digital marketing strategies to be finished in silos. It is an easier way but of course, it's not effective. It's true that digital approach works best when it's integrated with traditional channels.
Now you know that if you need to change your digital marketing strategy or not, here is a complete guide to help you build a new, powerful marketing strategy to achieve your online goals.
What are the essential steps for creating an effective digital marketing strategy? 
When creating a marketing strategy for your business, always keep your audience first. Set goals, plan your strategy, implement it, and finally measure your success.
  • Research on your target market and competitors
  • Know your audience because if you don't them, how can you help them
  • Integrate different marketing strategies and use only the correct tools
  • If you don't have the required skills set, don't hesitate to purchase special services
  • Identify your online value proposition and apply it across all digital marketing channels
  • Last but definitely not the least, prepare yourself
But before you do something ask yourself few questions. 



Asking yourself right questions and having their answers in place will certainly help you make the right decisions. I've given some Q's & A's below to help you out.
Which digital channels are most effective for you and why? 
With so many digital channels around, it gets difficult to choose the best one. So you can identify it with these simple basics:
  • Identify the channel where most of your potential customers like to hang out
  • Analyze your target audience behavior
  • Build awareness with Twitter
  • Attend industry events and conferences
  • Social media and newsletters to reach out to your potential customers
  • SEO or combination of SEO and PPC to help you attract more visitors
How to evaluate your digital marketing activities? 
Unfortunately, some companies don't know how to answer this question correctly. If you're also one of them, don't feel embarrassed! Just hop on and find out how can you determine the right metrics and evaluate your current digital marketing activities.
  • Identify your target KPI (Key Performance Indicator) to help you understand what's working
  • Monitor your website traffic and sales to know the necessary statistics about your customers
  • Track and measure your metrics through Google Analytics
  • Survey your site visitors to find if they're satisfied with your solutions
  • Track ROI, conversions, market share, and sales
How to make your business stand out from the crowd? 
In today's competitive digital market it's really difficult to make your business stand out from your competitors. 

But an effective strategy can help you stay ahead of them. Let's see how.
  • Effectively communicate and educate your customers
  • Stay honest and transparent to build customer's loyalty
  • Talk less, listen more
  • Be authoritative and helpful in what you do
  • Know your competitors and learn from them
  • Be creative, open-minded, and try new technologies
  • Speak in your audience language
  • Use proof points and testimonials to show you're the best
Final Thoughts 
As the world of online landscape changes, so should your digital marketing strategy. So it's essential to stay aware of the changing market and the new advancements in technology to help you grow furthermore.

Make Money From Home - The Basic Tools Needed For Financial Success

Make Money From Home - The Basic Tools Needed For Financial Success

You can earn a solid living from home by joining a home-based business opportunity. 
I would recommend that you go to the non-profit organization, Better Business Bureau, to determine whether the opportunity you picked is legit or not. 
However, once you picked the right opportunity, you will need some basic tools at your disposal in order to see success. According to home-business magazine, 8 out of 13 people fail when they attempt start the journey to financial success by trying to lift their business off the ground.
Today I will share with you some tools that can help in your journey to financial freedom.
#1 Google Analytics
When you are starting a home-based business opportunity, it is all about the numbers. 

In my opinion, you must find demand and fill it with supply. Here are some questions to ask yourself:
1. How much traffic are you able to generate to your website monthly?
2. Where does the bulk of the traffic you generate come from?
3.What are the demographics of your specific audience?
These questions play a huge role in the success of a start-up campaign. In my opinion, you will never get a perfect understanding on who your target audience is, but the more you know, the better your campaign will be.
#2 E-zine
E-zine is an amazing place where you can write and publish content to the masses. People are always looking for solutions to their problems and you can help them. The way you can get that accomplish is by submitting an article that contains quality, non-promotional content on how your core audience can get rid of their problems. Once you have built a loyal fan base, you can then direct them to the services that you have to offer.
#3 A stable internet service
Your internet connection is your life-line because you are in a home-based business. The only way for you to communicate and sell your products is to have a stable internet connection. Make sure you talk to your current internet service provider to make sure that your internet will stay available at all times.
#4 Seek help from experts
Make sure to get help. Do not make the same mistakes that most people make when they try to start a home-based business opportunity. 


There are experts who have been in the arena before and can help you. 
All you must do is join some forums, so you can ask questions and become friends with people who have the same dreams and goals that you have.
