Another thing you need is you need routines. I live in Allen, Texas, there’s a famous Olympic gold medal gymnast that lives here and she grew up in a gym down the street from me and I know these gymnasts they have these crazy routines and they show up at the gym every day.
You need to have similar routines. At the same time every day if you can you need to be working on your business. For me, that’s every night. That’s why my branding is around this idea of late night internet marketing. I’m recording this at 1:46 AM and I got started around 10:00. I got a head of steam, so here I am still going at almost 2:00 in the morning.
I also like to catch a little work on my internet business while I’m getting the kids ready for school between 6:00 and 6:30. That’s an excellent time for me to answer email over breakfast and do a little social media promotion.
The other thing I’ll say to you in terms of routines is you need to establish the routine of balancing your business activities. This is another thing that Jimmy D. Brown taught me. You need to make sure that you’re not only working on the easy things or the thing that you like.

The other thing I think you need to do is you need to get as much software as you can to automate tasks. Now, I’ve got some recommendations here and these are products that I actually use.
- If you’re going to submit your websites to directories I recommend Deep Linker Pro from Josh Spaulding. It automatically submits websites to directories.
- If you’re going to submit articles to article directories I recommend Automatic Article Submitter from Millan, who lives in eastern Eupore and I’m not going to say his last name, but it begins with K.
- There’s a really good social bookmarking application out there called Bookmarking Demon.
- If you want to automate the setup of blogs, if you have a business model where you need to run many blogs, I recommend Firepow from Andrew Hanson.
- If you are going to try and get some automated backlinking going one of the products I recommend is One-Way-Links from Jon Leger.
There are many other products that compete in these spaces and a lot of them are really good. These are just the ones that I use. The point is I definitely recommend that you go out and you invest in software.
In fact, I’d go so far as to say that one of the highest leverage investments that you can make is software to automate your business. It’s right up there with outsourcing and just the most critical business knowledge, learning, course work that you can get. So, definitely look into software to automate your business.
