Lost in the Weeds: My garden (and Business) Disappear in a Fog of Neglect

There goes the plan for a birthday BBQ🤷‍♂️

I’m actually hoping my brother in law will be able to come to my BBQ – and not because he’s the only one who’ll be able to make a good job of cooking the food, I’m ashamed to say.

There’s onother bit of a problem with the plan though…

The Weeds Have Won (Big Time)

So here I am, staring at a wilderness that vaguely resembles the neglected patch of dirt I once called a garden. The scraggly bushes mirror the cobwebs clinging to my marketing strategy. The overflowing gutters are a dead ringer for my overflowing inbox. This place is a disaster zone.

(not my actual garden – it’s worse! 😲)

Disclosure: Some of the links in this ezine may be affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase, I may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

Years of chasing the business dream have left my garden looking like a forgotten movie set. Knee-high weeds, rogue buddleia strangling the fence like a runaway green python – the whole thing screams “neglected batchelor pad.” Honestly, it perfectly reflects the state of my business lately. All potential choked by a lack of attention and a whole lotta “meh.”

Well, more like getting caught up in the ‘figurative’ weeds of not really knowing which direction to go in.

That, and the ongoing problems with the house which have kept distracting me.

Maybe though things are finally beginning to turn a corner…

Thanks to persisting with my business goals, exploring and trying new things, and sharing my experiences I was lucky enough to find a mentor; and I’m building a list, and have earned my first online income.

that still wasn’t enough to give me the impetus to move forward decisively and make a big breakthrough. Mainly due to the other problems I’d neglected while chasing ‘Shiny Objects’ as I tried to build my business.

But Maybe There’s Still Beer in the Fridge?

Maybe this overgrown mess is the reality check I desperately needed. Maybe it’s time to ditch the metaphorical metaphorical metaphorical metaphorical metaphorical metaphorical (you get the idea) excuses and grab a shovel. Maybe my business isn’t a lost cause after all.

Time to Man Up (and Mow Down)

Alright, deep breaths are needed. This garden apocalypse isn’t going to fix itself with wishful thinking. It needs serious effort, the kind that involves more than ordering takeout and watching paint dry. But hey, even the wildest jungle can be tamed, right?

My Breakthrough And An Opportunity For You

While researching ways to build my list I discovered a brilliant opportunity to have a website promoting 5 high-paying offers built for me completely FREE✨🎁

Needless to say, I leapt at the opportunity, and I’ve started earning money with that as well now.

This blog is part of it – the parts that look good are those done for me, and I’m still learning how to make a blog look professional and am focussed on that.

On the home front, joiners and plasterers are coming on Monday, the gardener on Tuesday, and the painter after that. My focus then is on getting traffic to this site – there’s lots of great free training in the package to help with that.

AAArgh! Have I Bitten Off More Than I Can Chew?

just like the big cat: calm, in control

Well it seemed like a great idea at the time, but I’ve found it taking up a chunk of my time and having to work late in the evning to keep up with what I started.

I pictured myself just like the big cat: calm, in control, and about to enjoy a tasty ‘lunch’ of sales commissions from readers eager to learn more about the products featured in the article series I’m writing and posting on Medium.com.

Over-Reaching A Little Bit?

After the 5 day “Challenge” series had finished I decided to add a ‘Bonus’ 20 day follow up series to give readers more in-depth training on publishing and profiting from ‘Unique’ information products they’ve created from PLR material.

That’s when it hit me.

This is a whole lot of content I’ve committed to producing – and all to a Deadline – every single day, for 20 days!

That really felt like biting off far more tha I could chew, and was even a little bit panic-inducing when I realised it was going to mean working right up to bed-time just about everyday to fit it in with every thing else going on.

Why Not Just Abandon It All?

I could call it quits, and given the poor takeup on the affiliate offers so far, I would lose next to nothing, and that would give me time to devote to getting traffic and visitors to the offers via other sources.

It would also cut the sense of overwhelm and confusion.

So, what to do…

It’s a real conumdrum I’ve found myself in, and things just seemed to get more fraught.

There’s several positives to take from this and I hope some people have already seen them and decided they’d take the same road I am:

1/ I’ve already got 15 articles published and have started getting ‘eyeballs’ on them.

2/ there’ll be 25 pices when the whole series is complete shortly.

3/ Each post will then link to 24 others, meaning even more chance to discover my work, and hopefully attract followers.

4/ Each post has affiliate links to 2 different offers, giving me 30 chances to make a sale.

5/ The posts should remain live, and hopefully, getting clicks to offers until, or unless, I remove them. 6/ I can link to them from this blog – and back to the blog from them – increasing my chances of being found.

7/ This post about my experience, and problems, adds to my content and shows that I’m not some sort of ‘gooroo,’ or out-of-touch whizkid.

8/ I’ve learned a lot about the Medium platform; what works and what doesn’t, and I can apply the lessons going forward. 9/ When I approach people to help me on my next series they’ll see that I take this business seriously and do what I say I will.

Keep an eye out for my forthcoming series where I ask experts how to get free traffic to your sites and offers.

Hello world!

Hi, it’s Anthony and this is my new website. Stay tuned… I’ll have great things to share!

For starters, here’s an article I think you’ll enjoy…

It’s called: “Make the Leap to Home Business Success

Make the Leap to Home Business Success

If you are going to build a successful home business, you need 3 “intangibles.” These are things that must come from WITHIN you.

===> Intangible 1 <===

First, you must have a strong WHY.

Why must you make a home business work? What’s driving you? What is it that you CAN’T have in your life anymore and/or what is it that you absolutely MUST HAVE now?

For me, I couldn’t stand working 12+ hours a day anymore and missing the experience of my children growing up. I also absolutely HAD TO HAVE the freedom of being able to control my life and finances through a little box that I could carry with me anywhere in the world and not be tied to anyone’s time pressures or demands but my own. That was my carrot and my stick. I felt a great pain deep in my gut of missing out on my children’s lives and the incredible freedom that succeeding in this business would provide for me. I found my why. You MUST find yours.

===> Intangible 2 <===

You must BELIEVE that it is possible.

If you don’t believe that it’s POSSIBLE for you to succeed in a home business or make your living on the Internet, you won’t. It’s that simple.

For me, figuring out that it was possible was just a matter of realizing that many other people were ALREADY making great money with a home business online. If they could do it, I could too. It would just be a matter of figuring out what those people were doing and then adapting it to my situation.

There is no shortage of undeniable PROOF that people (millions of them) are making money online in many different ways. Just get online and do some research and you’ll find countless testimonials and stories of REAL PEOPLE making real money on the Internet. Or head to your local bookstore and you’ll find the same documented evidence of this fact. Truth is, it’s getting easier and easier to start and succeed in a home based business. This is primarily because of the Internet and affiliate marketing.

I’ve always said that “affiliate marketing” is the job of the future. In the “old” days, you had to go to a potential employer, apply for the position and hope for the best. Now you can simply go to any company you want, fill out their affiliate application and start work immediately. Affiliates are the new working class. Believe me, making money with affiliate programs or making your living on the Internet is WAY MORE than possible. It is pretty much (or will be soon enough) unavoidable now. Affiliate marketing is the “job” of the future that’s here TODAY.

===> Intangible 3 <===

You must be willing to MAKE THE LEAP.

Ready, FIRE, then aim… This is the operating philosophy you MUST adopt to succeed with an Internet home business.

That’s backwards for most people who like to aim before they fire. The fact is the Internet is a moving target… The only thing constant about it is change. You need to stop analyzing the game and simply jump into it. You can’t learn from the outside… You have to be IN THE RING to truly understand it.

The lesson here is that you will never really be READY to start a home based business. You simply have to start one. This is what I call “Making the Leap.”

The good news is that the cost of failure on the Internet is very small. In the “brick and mortar” world you need to evaluate things very carefully before you decide to open up a business. It’s almost always necessary to invest thousands of dollars to get an offline business off the ground. However, on the Internet you can often start a successful business for less than $100. In fact, Plug-In Profit Site is a really good example of this.

You simply need get IN THE GAME… Each moment that you stay “out there,” you’re wasting valuable time that you could be learning and skills necessary to become a successful affiliate marketer. In fact, if you’re not in the game yet, you’re ALREADY behind the times. Come on… You can do it! Make the leap to becoming a successful home based business owner today!
