You can play around at building an online biz and treat it like a hobby or you can build a successful profitable business from home. I'm gonna be blunt - It's time you make a stink or get off the pot.

Are You Building A Profitable Online Biz Or A Seriously
Expensive Hobby?
Celene Harrelso n
Well, which is it, a serious online biz or a hobby?
I understand how easy it it to drag your feet,
live in fear of success or failure
- so much that it paralyzes you and keeps you f rom
taking action. Been there, done that – rode that
roller coaster ride. Heck, it took me several years to
become prof itable.
It’s so easy to f all into the trap of learning, learning
and then learning some more without implementing
anything you are learning. You f eel like you still
don’t know enough to put yourself and your online
biz out there. T hat if you just learn this next thing…
I’m gonna be blunt – It’s time you make a stink
or get off the pot.
If you are just playing around at blogging as a
hobby, that’s f ine, but admit it so you can take the
pressure of f and enjoy your ef f orts.
But if you are in this to build a prof itable business, then it’s time to shake it up a bit!
Stop buying all those courses for now. Go back and look at what you already bought that’s sitting on your
hard drive. Review only the ones that are relevant to what you are doing or needing to learn about right now,
study them then implement what you’ve learned. Don’t start something else until you’ve done that.
Get off of social media all day. Pop in a couple of times a day. Set a timer and when it goes of f , get out!
You can even use Hootsuite to keep all of your social media networks on one dashboard and schedule some
posts and tweets ahead of time to go out automatically.
Turn off all notifications. Schedule time to check your email and stay out of your inbox in between times.
Make a plan. Have a schedule and keep it. Whether it’s a simple to do list, Google calendar or whatever, map
out your week then break that down into what you are going to do each day.
Take a good look at what you’ve done so far. How can you leverage that to make drive traf f ic, create
content and products and start making some money? Can you create a Kindle book out of a series of blog
posts already on your blog? How about dusting of f the products you’ve already created and f ocus on
marketing them? If you have products already and aren’t making lots of sales, you should be spending about

2. 75% of your time leveraging what you already have rather than scampering to start more projects.
Hire a business coach. No matter what phase of business you are in, you need a coach. I have one,
someone who is much more successf ul and been at this longer than I have and she has one that has seen
even more success. Find someone you resonate with who can show you the next steps to take, stop spending
money on courses and “the next big thing” and invest in yourself and the growth of your business. Did you
know I do coaching?
It’s time to get serious in your online biz. You can treat it as a hobby and it will be a money pit, or you can work
at home and create the lif estyle you really want.
