I Don’t Have The Time
Here at support, I see a common reference to time, basically complaints about the lack of time. If you know me, you know I’m coming on this topic, full force, straight on, this is the way I roll.
Absolutely, no one, I mean no one, can look me in the face, and tell me they can’t do this, they can’t invest 2 to 3 hours a day advertising their business, they don’t have the time.
I could go on and on about me, this is not about me …
… you do know I own and manage offline businesses as well as online, I have 5 kids and a wonderful wife, we do all the normal family activities, church, sports, school, and I coach High School baseball.
When I first started working online, back in the late 90s, I knew nothing about Internet Marketing, little about computers, and the only time I could manage in my busy schedule was early in the AM.
I admit, it was a struggle, getting up at 4 A.M. every day, having no understanding of the language, concepts, or ideas being thrown my way. However, the one thing going for me was PURE DETERMINATION, that I was going to learn this stuff, figure it out, and make it work for me.
OK, this update is not about me, this is all about you, your business, your advertising, your success!!!
Why are we here, and what are we doing? All of us are here to build an online business, to advertise, to achieve success. The fact is building an online business is not much different than building any offline ‘brick-and-mortal’business.
Do this, try going to your local small business administration for assistance in building a business, and then telling them you have no time to invest in it? BIG SMILE!!!
I appreciate and understand your busy schedule. I’ve been in your shoes, my schedule is more hectic today than back then when I first started online. However, if you are serious about building a business, serious about taking it up another notch, serious about success, then make the time, make it a priority, figure it out and make it work for you.
Seriously, sincerely, straight to the point, if you cannot invest a minimum of 2 to 3 hours a day, to build your business, to advertise your business, then by all means, give up, you have no chance in building a success Internet business.

Many thanks for your expressions of genuinely caring about our success in marketing. In retirement since 2000, I certainly share the feeling of being a neophyte in computer-usage & marketing, realizing fully why time is essential to learning. Thanks again!
Thanks for caring about our well being and our business. I promote my business for 8 to 10 hrs a day. Wake up people and be happy you have a business to promote.

Thanks again,
time is hard to find if:you have a full time job; are personally remodeling your home to get a refinance;have two kids in two different ball clubs and they need help getting their garden going!! ps i am doing this at wor because I have a little time on my hands
hey Bill thanks for the reminder and affirmation of how to really be successful online. The competition to make a dollar online is harder than going out to get a job and if I can make at least a dollar, I feel successful, and try even harder to make more. I seen a quote the other day that made me chuckle and is so true…”if the house is clean it is a sign of a broken computer!” and where else can you meet people from all over the world with like-minds? again thanks for keeping it real…
Great writeup. A no b.s. set of simple mindset attitudes towards one’s online/offline business.
I myself after 3 years online am at that “determination” phase” you mentioned. I would like just to spend maybe 10 hours per week on this keyboard instead of 30 (some 1am stuff). That’s my most determined aim, and have the remaing 158 hours at my total disposable. Goddbyye forever to my day J.O.B. and insecurity.
