Avoiding the Email Trap

Hi,

I want to say a few words tonight about the
email trap. It's something that needs stating,
especially for new people who are trying to
earn some money online.

The trap begins when we sign up to every
opportunity that comes along. Soon, our email
inbox fills up with all kinds of messages and
newsletters. So, we start checking those
messages, and opening them to make sure we
aren't missing valuable information or some
juicy deal. This feels good, and gives us
the false impression that we're getting some
things done.

You get my drift? Well, pretty soon, we're
spending most of our online time checking
email! As for getting things done -- well,
in reality, most of this stuff isn't doing
anything positive for our online business
development.

What we really need to do is to allocate a
certain amount of time, daily, to checking
email. When the time's up -- that's it! We
logout from our email account.

Our time is better spent working on our own
product, or doing something directly related
to our online business.

My final comment is this: See if you can take
control of your email activities, starting
this week, rather than letting it control
you.

My best regards,

Laurie
