Dear MoneyMaking Friend,

Today I’d like to focus on something that’s vital if you want to strike out and succeed on your own.

It’s something I call ‘success fatigue’, and it hits every single one of us several times a year.

You see, wanting to be your own boss is one thing, but making the right choices to ensure you succeed is another.

In fact, there’s one factor above all others that you MUST have to up your chances of success – and to keep on being successful.

So what is the No.1 factor?

Simple... It’s job satisfaction.

Being genuinely enthused and excited about the work you do 5 days a week, 48 weeks of the year.

In fact, you should love your project so much, you’d quite happily do it 7 days a week, 52 weeks of the year.

Sounds easy right?

After all, when you’re raking it in who wants to stop? But as you’ll find out for yourself once the MoneyMaking Insider helps you get there, being your own boss isn’t all long lie-ins and laughs.

Earning lots of money might make you happy, but it’s NOT job satisfaction. The big money will only come once you are immersed in your work and are happy and motivated.

Here’s a checklist from my colleague Jack in the UK to help you find the business that’s right for you. It won’t pinpoint a specific job, but should help you find out where your passion lies. And once you discover that, you’ll know which business ideas will suit you, you’ll be prepared to put in more hours, and you’ll find yourself moving up the rich-list faster…

Stop trying business plans that don’t suit you
Jack, Editor of The Money Tree

* Find a pen and a stack of postcards or index cards (or at a push, torn up squares of paper). Clear your desk so that you can spread the cards out easily.

* On a sheet of paper, write down everything you don’t like about your present job and/or career. Not earning enough money doesn’t count. If that is the only genuine gripe you have, analyse it further. What’s stopping you from getting more money?

* Now you can start addressing the problems. Using the cards, jot down an idea that tackles each problem. If you have more than one idea per problem, make sure you use a separate card. Don’t rule out ANYTHING – no matter how stupid your idea might seem. Just write down whatever ideas pop into your head.

* Finished? Now start checking for duplications. Combine ideas that cover the same ground... e.g. ‘want a more creative job’ and ‘have no input with regards to new ideas’ would be rolled into one.

* Check through the cards and throw out anything that’s not strong enough. This is about YOU and YOUR HOME BUSINESS, so bad vending machines or ‘don’t like Frank’ unfortunately have to be discarded.

* Put ideas that can’t be completed within six months in the draw – but don’t throw them away! This exercise is designed to overcome problems now, so you can get on the right track quickly.

* Order your ideas. Put similar ideas into separate columns so you can see everything in front of you.

* Now, give each column a title, using a blank card. Sum up what these similar ideas represent.

* Arrange these columns in order of importance. Take some time over this. It’s not an aptitude test. There’s no right or wrong order. Really try and get a feel of what’s important to YOU.

* Now arrange the ideas within each column in order of importance, with your strongest at the top of the pile.

* Once you’ve done this, leave everything for at least an hour, even overnight. When you come back you will have a grid of what you need to focus on to start achieving your career or business goals. The most important – and the one you need to tackle first, will be in the top left hand corner.

Writing down things you need to change is quite an eye- opener.

It will help you channel your energies to areas that are most important, and as a result will help you realise your strengths and weaknesses – vital if you want a satisfying and successful career as a multi-millionaire entrepreneur.

In the name of financial freedom,
