What's the "rule" for making the leap from "beginner" to "full-time online" this year?

I'm always talking with our customers who have made that leap and now work from home and make a full-time income with their local online marketing business.

And what I'm about to share with you, at first may sound daunting, but that feeling will quickly be replaced with exhilaration.

It's called "The 100 Hour Rule".

 

My definition is:
"100 hours of REAL work focused on one outcome will give you an online business making consistent income every day."

 

That's the first step to full-time online success, is first achieving part-time online success.

That's when you are waking up every day and knowing your online business is making you money that day. 

And when you break that down, if you spend 10 hours a week, that is 10 weeks… or a little under 3 months.

If you follow the 100 Hour Rule, within 3 months your online business can be making you consistent daily income.

 

And then, to follow that up is the "500 Hour Rule".

"500 hours of REAL work focused on one outcome will give you an online business making a full-time income."

 

That's when you are waking up when you want to, no job to go to, no commute to suffer through, no T.P.S. reports to fill out. And instead you get to sit at home, sip some coffee, play with the kids and decide what you want to work on that day.

 

At just 10 hours a week, that's less than 1 year and you are at the full-time online level.

Imagine this time next year you've DONE IT, you've turned in your 2 weeks notice, cleared out your desk, threw away your alarm clock and are now working from home because of your online business.

It's a great feeling, isn't it?

 

OK, right about now you're mind is telling you "I have been working 10 hours a week and that hasn't happened yet… what are you talking about?"

I understand completely. When I first got started online I didn't understand this either. Nobody ever told me, "Kevin, this is the way it is." Instead I had to figure out the HARD way… all of those ways that don't work to discover the ones that do.

 

And I'm sure you're experiencing the same. You are doing what you think is best because nobody helped you by showing you a better way.

 

That's my goal, to share my lessons learned on what REALLY works instead of what DOESN'T work.

 

Two Key Distinctions

Let's dig into the definition to see what it REALLY means because the power lies in the details with this one.

 

And then will give you a powerful yet simple tip you can put to use.
Here it is again: "100 hours of REAL work focused on one outcome will give you an online business making consistent income every day."

 

There are two key parts.

100 hours of REAL work

and

focused on one outcome.

 

Its human nature to be looking for the "greener grass on the other side of the fence". A common term is "shiny object syndrome".

 

I've been guilty of this just like you.

Something new comes out, the marketing is hitting all of those psychological triggers and product launch hot buttons, and our Shiny Object Magnet switch flips on to full-power.

 

Next thing you know, hours, days, even weeks have passed chasing the shiny object to discover you are the same place you were when you started.

 

Where as, if you stay focused on one outcome your business and the steps to make it successful. And only looked for things that would make that business more successful faster. And wasn't a distraction from your outcome, or sent you down yet another shiny object rabbit hole.

 

You would of course be much further along today. Seems simple and obvious, but in the day to day.

 

The tougher question to ask yourself, but one you deserve to ask yourself is…

Are the things I'm spending my time doing "REAL Work" or "Busy Work"?

Here are some examples of "busy work"…
 

• having an inbox full of 539 marketing emails and reading them, just because they are there and engaging, with no purpose for doing so

• buying an ebook, skimming through it, then never doing anything

• watching more free videos somebody posted online giving you more shiny objects to think about

• dabbling, doing a little here, a little there… with no plan on what you are doing, where you are going, the steps you need to complete to get there

 

Is this your typical day working at your online business?

Turn on computer, download email, read the latest emails you got from all the lists you are on. Clicking on a few links, watching a video for 30 minutes, going back to email to see what new messages came in you need to read. Going back online to check out your favorite site because you deserve a break from work. Thinking about a new blog post you could write but never putting those thoughts into writing. Opening up your aweber account to see how many new subscribers you got, only to be disappointed yet again that you have the same 23 people on your list. Download more email and spending the next 45 minutes reading and clicking on links.

 

Whoops, its getting late, time to close up shop after another productive day working on your business.

The problem is…

During that entire time, there was not a single action taken that moved your business forward. Nothing that made your business better today then the day before. Yes, there was a lot of time spent on activity, but no time spent on action.

 

How do I know this? At one time that was my life, and my results… or more like no results showed it.

Of course that example "day in the life" was an exaggeration, but compare yourself with that list and this next one.

 

To contrast that, I kept a running list of what I accomplished in one 8-hour day last week.
 

• wrote 21 autoresponder or broadcast emails

• wrote 2 blog posts

• created 3 new pages for a new sales funnel

• recorded a 45 min camtashia training video

• started work on a new sales video

• put together a new offer for a promotion we are running

• checked stats to see how the business is performing

• answered 2 dozen emails from people I'm working with (either in our company or other companies)

• spent 15 minutes answering questions on our customer forum

• and went through part of a product I purchase to learn a new skill

• and 15 minutes browsing through my folder of emails from all the lists I'm subscribed to, checking to see what's up in the online world.

 

Here's the million dollar question to ask yourself…

If you spent 10 hours a week, that look like that second list, how great would your online success become over the next few months?

Obviously the answer is you would run circles around the person who spends their time doing the "busy work" stuff.

 

Maybe that second list seems daunting, like you could never do that.

If that thought even remotely entered your mind, not a problem.

I started off just like you and over time learned some tricks to get the full-time online results I now see. 

 

 

Just below is a link to a very interesting video from another

 

company but the message is important for you to think about.  The 

 

video is 45 minutes so set aside the time so you can go through 

 

the whole video to get the message. I know you want to make 

 

money and believe IAJE program may be right for you. 

 

Still it requires effort and dedication to make money and most 

 

important it takes time! If you are serious about changing your life 

 

and taking care of yourself and the ones you love then take the 

 

time to fully understand what your association with IAJE really 

 

requires for you to be successful. Our program is a powerful and a 

 

really good value but sales are still sales and take time.
