As I have said before, running an online company is really complicated. There are so many things to keep going at one time, let alone trying to launch new ventures.

Every day I sit down at my computer and look at my todo list. It always has the same three tasks at the top:

1. Pray for my wife, family, and business
   I have this first because, like most men, I don’t pray for my family enough. When I see it on my todo list I remember to do it.After praying for my family, I pray for my business. I absolutely need the wisdom of God in this business. I could be doing 15 things that make me absolutely no money today and I would like to avoid that.God knows what will work and what will not and I need that wisdom.
2. I check my stats from the day before and record them. If you are not doing this you need to start. I need to see trends in my business and I can’t do that without data.

After that I have to say to myself, “stay focused.” It is so easy to get caught up on the forums or reading the paper and calling it research. At some point you have to get to work.

So quit reading this and go make some money!

There are several forums that I visit. When I first decided to make money online I was addicted to digital point forums. I could not believe the amount of information there. That is good and bad.

When I got there I was focused. After reading what everyone was doing, I had a bunch of projects that I started at once, almost none successfully.  I sold off all the ancillary projects and got focused.

As time went on I found other forums including wicked fire. Wicked fire was completely different than dp in that it was really focused on making money through marketing and the majority of the writing seemed like it came from a middle school locker room.

Why the filthy language? One day I was talking with my AM form my affiliate company about ppc marketing and he recommended that I read wf because of the good information there. I told him that I would if there was not so much vulgarity.

As a man living in this world I am not scared of profanity. I am not some prude that thinks that I will be soiled by the occasional curse word.  But as a christian, I am quite confident that my God is not leading me to a place of uncleanness to learn.

I will continue to pray that He gives me the godly wisdom that can only be found by His Spirit. If that means I make a few less dollars, I will be more than happy with the trade.

You should be too.
