Before you start to read this article grab a piece of paper and a pen and note down what you would like to have attained in five and ten years time. Make sure it's what you really want. This piece of paper is the key to your long term future success. To succeed you need to focus on not only short term goals and income but to focus on your long term success. This is what is going to drive you on through the next few years.

One of the people I used to mentor lived in a small 1 roomed apartment. She was desperate to move out into a nice house. She went to visit the local Realtors and found a house she really liked. She took the details and framed them and hung them on the wall behind her computer monitor. As soon as she felt like stopping a task or demotivated she would stop work for 5 minutes grab a coffee and stare at the house pictures. She constantly imagined living in the house and repeated to herself that she will have that house. Very quickly she was back working on her online business. A little over a year later she could afford to move into a similar house to the one that motivated her.

The one thing that will really mess up your long term focus is ironically lack of short term focus. you set you self a task such as writing a blog post or writing a niche article. Before you star you decide to check your emails and you spot one from a friend who you then contact via skype or IM. Before you know it it's time to finish and you haven't completed any work whatsoever.

Getting a simple system together will help you achieve your short term goals. Once they are achieve then it's just a matter of time before you achieve those long term goals. Try a system that will allow you to work without being interrupted by emails and instant messages. I set aside a 2-3 hour period each morning where I concentrate on work and nothing else. Only when that time is up and I've completed my tasks will i then read and answer emails.

You should also make a point of eliminating as many distractions as possible. Ask your family to respect your work time. If you explain to them why you need to be left alone then they will support you 100%. Try to turn off your cellphone and put any pets outside. Become your own strict boss!

Writing this article took less than twenty minutes. I had no distractions and focused on it 100%. If I hadn't been able to focus on it I know for sure that it would probably take me and hour or so.

Go and focus on what you want, make it happen. As one of my favorite mentors always says... "Waiting is the favorite past-time of failures."
