One of the most important parts of getting motivated is planning your day.
For most internet marketers, it is far to easy to accidentally spend the day reading blogs, crusing facebook, and reading promotional material that hits your inbox during the day.
Before you know it, the day is gone and you have not made any real progress in your business. This can be especially deadly for part-time internet marketers with limited time to spend on their internet marketing projects.
I suggest you consider starting with the following schedule, which many successful, motivated individuals follow:
- Wake up early. Perhaps just a little earlier than you are accustomed to.
- Be sure and eat a nutritious breakfast (sounds silly, but it can really make a difference).
- Do light exercise (such as jogging) for 20-45 minutes.
- Identify 1 or 2 critical items that you will get done FIRST in your business that day.
Beyond that, you can schedule your day however you decide. But these steps are important ones. If find yourself getting off on the wrong foot each morning, you’ll probably find that your bad mornings will pass through into bad days.
On the other hand, if you follow these steps, you’ll significantly improve your chances of having a good day. You had a good—but not too filling breakfast—and you already got your exercise out of the way. You also woke up early, so you didn’t lose precious morning hours to sleep.
With that solid foundation behind you, tackling a couple of critical business items each day will be an easy task.

Hello Mark.
Having an early morning ritual is kind of hard to start but when you can stick to it without letting your own demons get in the way, you’ll actually benefit more from a healthy perspective in the mind, body and spirit.
For years, I’ve been a night owl it’s has been these last few years that I found waking up in the morning and getting things done ahead of time clears away the worries which I’ll tackle in the day. But like you sad, if you start off bad, the rest of the bad do tend to follow as well.
Recently, I just purchased one of your ebook, First eBook Now. For a small price you really packed a lot of information in the 40+ pages. I especially liked that you outlined the whole process which made it easier for me to print out and keep next to my desk.
I’m in the beginning phase of brainstorming on ideas while at the same time blogging. So this ebook was recommended as a way to get more out of the process. I just finished it today and did a review of it on my blog. Whenever you can, let me know what you think.
Great article, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
