When it comes to creating an online business lack of focus is probably the biggest thing holding us back. Focus is important on 2 levels. Firstly you have your long term focus which is what you want to ultimately achieve. Stop reading this for a moment and ask yourself what do you want? Financial freedom? To be able to leave your current job and work at home? A new house? A world cruise? That is your long term focus this what will drive you if you harness it. If you want it enough and focus on it you will get it.

I knew someone who wanted to move out of her cramped apartment into a nice house. She searched the Internet and the local real estate offices until she found her dream home. She then got photographs and plans of the house and placed them on the wall behind her PC. Those photographs and what they stood for were her focus, whenever she felt demotivated she would grab a coffee and stare at the photographs and repeat to herself "I will have that house" Soon she was motivated again. Just over a year later she finalized the purchase of a similar house.

The other type of focus we need to consider is short term focus. Lack of short term focus will stop your attaining your long term goals. How many times has the following happened to you? You go to your PC to build a site but before you start you check your email, you find something interesting so you browse the Internet for something related. The next thing you know 2 hours have passed and you've done nothing!

Getting a simple system together will help you achieve your short term goals. Once they are achieve then it's just a matter of time before you achieve those long term goals. Try a system that will allow you to work without being interrupted by emails and instant messages. I set aside a 2-3 hour period each morning where I concentrate on work and nothing else. Only when that time is up and I've completed my tasks will i then read and answer emails.

Make a point of eliminating all possible distractions. If you have pets put them outside. Take the phone off the hook and turn off your cell phone. It is also worth explaining to your family what you want to achieve and how they can help you by not interrupting you when you are working. Once they know you are working for a better future for them they should be very supportive.

This article has taken me less than 20 minutes to write because I have focused on it and had no distractions. 2 years ago before I learned to focus I would probably have spent a few hours on it.

There is noting in this world that will stop you achieving your goals If you want them enough. You just need patience and belief in yourself
