How To Get Shit Done

Hey Losers,

Check it – I’m on the bathroom right now.

Seriously. I am on my gold-plated toilet pinching out a loaf as I type this on my lap top.

You may be asking yourself… *grugh* … you may be asking yourself why I don’t just wait until I am done moving my bowels to write to you.

I am doing this to illustrate a *grunt* point.

You see, by sitting down and typing this post while I am soiling the porcelain throne, I am essentially prolonging both the time it takes for me to write to you, and drop a deuce.

To put it bluntly: By not focusing on one thing at a time, it is taking me (literally) longer to get shit done.

*ploop*

Ah, much better.

Anyway, back to my point…

One of the biggest challenges of running your own business is GETTING SHIT DONE. The longer it takes you to GSD, the less money you make. And part of not getting shit done is jumping from one opportunity to another as they present themselves.

You *grrragh* follow me here?

See, as the CEO and mastermind of a multi-million dollar empire, I get losers coming up to me constantly and wanting me to promote crap for them.

“RJ, I got a launch I want you to promote!”

“RJ, let’s do a JV!”

“RJ, I’ll give you my first born daughter if you help me make some money!”

Blah, blah, *grunt* blah.

I get bombarded with offers EVERY DAY to make more money. And you know what? I turn 99% of them down!

If I were to whore myself out to every lame-o that comes my way, I could probably be making lots more money. But here’s the catch – if I did that, it would take me SO MUCH LONGER to get anything done – which means that in the long run, I’d actually be making LESS money.

See – what most of you losers don’t understand is that you’re so desperate to make money, you will jump from opportunity to opportunity as soon as they present themselves hoping to make money. But you never FINISH ANYTHING.

And in my *uuugh* experience, the only way to make money is to FOLLOW THROUGH and GET SHIT DONE.

Get your ebook written.

Get your emails written.

Get your PPC accounts going.

Get your articles published.

Get your site in the search engines.

*ploop*

Ahhh.

Because of the nature of online business – new stuff is always going to be coming out to help make people money. Today it’s adsense. Tomorrow it’s CPA networks. The next day it’s media buying. And on, and on, and on.

You know what? Screw that noise, jack. Find ONE THING. Just ONE THING you want to do to make money. And stick with it. Ignore everything else and just do that one thing until you “get ‘er dun.”

I don’t care if that one thing is being a Rich Jerk Affiliate, or an adsense site builder, or a CPA traffic kingpin. Whatever it is, just make your business about one thing and one thing only.

And once you master that one thing and it’s going – ONLY THEN should you take on something else. And then you stick with that until you “get ‘er dun.”

Business can get overwhelming if you let it. But trying to do too many things at once is a big mistake, because it takes you longer to get ANYTHING done when you do that. If you need an email sequence, don’t do anything else until that email sequence is created. If you need a product, do nothing else until that product is created.

You know what I do? When I start a new project, I create a list of everything I need to make that project happen. For example:

1. Buy good domain name.
2. Create a product.
3. Design a website
4. Write sales copy
5. Design an email sequence.
6. Buy PPC Advertising
7. Recruit affiliates
8. Make own porno movie

Once I am done with that list, I only focus on one thing, and I don’t do anything else on that list until I can cross off what I’m working on.

This is how I GSD. By prioritizing what I need to do, doing one thing at a time, and ignoring everything else. If I tried to do everything at once, I’d never GSD.

Understand – new opportunities will always come your way. If you ignore them, you won’t lose much. But you can gain so much more by focusing on just ONE opportunity and getting really good at that, and making money that way, then moving on to something else.

And that *uhnnnnn* is how you become awesome like me.

*ploop*

Later losers,
