10 “Fake Progress” Time Sinks to Avoid
Here are 10 “Time Sink” activities that I recommend entrepreneurs avoid:
Why should you avoid these Time Sinks?
Because they are “fake progress.” They make you feel like you’re moving forward but they’re actually draining away your most precious asset: your time and attention!
All of these activities can be important and necessary steps for success eventually, but not today.
Make it Happen!
You need to finish that keyword research and pick your niche, get the first draft of your new web site finished, polish up that PDF and turn it into an ebook you can sell through Clickbank, or publish your first blog post or newsletter.
The importance of taking action is true in almost any work situation but especially if you work in a startup or are a solopreneur.
My advice: Get on with it!
End your "analysis paralysis" and stop being such a "tweak freak"! You will learn more in the first week of actually running your business than in months of planning to run it.
I’ll be giving the Keynote speech on Wednesday 3/10.
If you’re active in digital media, this is a great conference for you and your business. We’ll be discussing the road ahead for digital marketing and how your business can benefit.
Sponsored by leading industry publication, Digital Media Wire, the Digital Strategies conference also features top speakers and panels from Facebook, AOL, Myspace, NPR, Advertising Age, Nielsen, and more.
Please join me for what I promise will be an inspiring keynote speech, plus lots of great info and networking, too.
Registration details are here.

What did you think of this interview?
Would you like your products to be featured on AnyLuckyDay.com?
The book shines a welcome light on the business of celebrity. It can teach you how associating your brand and products with celebrities can increase your credibility, make your products more desirable, and even allow you to raise your prices.
Based on his own experience as publisher of the Celebrity Black Book and building the highly successful ContactAnyCelebrity.com web site, Jordan McCauley explains in detail how you can contact celebrities and convince them to help you.
After Jordan sent me a free review copy, I was pleased to find that the book is full of the practical details that you need to know to attract celebrity involvement, whether you are new to the Hollywood scene or an experienced PR or agency pro. Tactics explained in the book (often through case studies or expert interviews) include how to:
The second half of the book also provides guidance on how to build your own brand to make yourself into a celebrity. Jordan suggests that writing a book, getting booked on TV and radio, and being quoted in newspapers are all additional steps toward positioning yourself as an expert and eventual celeb yourself.
Valuable lessons for marketers and business owners in today’s age of celebrity.
