Ask Bob The Teacher

“Why I cannot start anything? There is so much information I am receiving that I get confused and end up doing nothing… I want to have a lucrative internet business… What is my best bet?”

Thanks for your question - here’s my answer for you…

One of the ways you can make it more likely your entire email will be read and acted on is to make it easier to read.

Since a lot of people still work on text-based emails, the primary method of formatting your email is to reduce the length of the lines. Instead of having a natural text wrap which would extend your text all the way across the screen, you can break the lines at a certain length.

Nothing dooms your success like thinking you can do it all yourself, that you have all the answers, or that you should do it your way so that you can be unique in the marketplace.

Trust me - I used these excuses myself for quite a long time before recognizing that it pays to have a mentor. Early on, I thought, “I have a masters degree from THE Johns Hopkins University for crying out loud - I shouldn’t need help!” But several thousand dollars later in wasted spending and bad turns opened my eyes to the truth.

Every productivity expert will give you their opinion about how to get more things done in the same amount of time.

They’ll show you how to make to do lists, categorize them with 1, 2, 3, or A, B, C and try to get you to eliminate tasks off your list.

These methods can be helpful for some, but if it’s not working for you take a look at mind maps.

For the last few days, we’ve visited with other members of Joanna’s family.

First, we went to the city of Szczecin to see her sister. The city is right on the border with Germany.

After a bit of shopping around Debrzno the next day, we then went to Człuchów, which is a short drive from here. That’s where Joanna’s cousin, aunt, and grandmother live.

Unfortunately, during the Szczecin trip, my batteries ran low on my camera so I had to do a few still pictures instead of all clips. But this gives me the opportunity to introduce you to my favorite musical composer.

To celebrate the day, I have a time management tip for you as you try to juggle all the things in your
life.

I’m often asked how do I get as much done as I do when there are so many distractions that come up.

Well, to be honest, I still get distracted and off track. But I’ve learned to recognize it early and not let it cripple my momentum.

Here’s how I do it…
