Where Am I?

Where Am I?

Where am I in regards to an internet business? That is what I often ask myself. I have said to myself and anyone who asks that I am not in this for the quick buck, that I know it takes a long time to build a solid web business. Also a VRE (Virtual Real Estate) network takes time to get established, build traffic, etc. And even your reputation in the IM game takes time to be established.

And the learning - that never stops, as new products, new techniques, new ideas are coming out all the time. And don't even get me started on Google!!!!

But . . .

Some days I don't really know if I am getting anywhere. I think I spend too much time spinning my wheels. I am always doing something, but is it the right thing.

I have made a very pro-active move to get more 'active' in the IM community. I want to get my name, my style, my reputation, and eventually my knowledge out there. So I have been active in forums. I have been blogging. I know this will pay off in the long run. It is also very introspective, and that helps me to analyze what I am doing and what I should be doing.

I do need to set some milestones though. I need to make sure I am getting done what I need to get done. I am still not worried about it taking time, as I know I am on the right track. I also know that I am gaining wisdom and knowledge, and that I am moving up in the ranks in that respect.

So I am going to make August my month of milestones - a time to set out what will happen over the next year. Some solid goals in place for my IM business.

Stay tuned.
