Matt Blancarte dot Com Design - Business - Two Cents

I wrote a post last month that tackled the difference between static and profitable time.

In general, these static activities are going to have little-to-no benefit to you directly generating profits. You will be going nowhere in a hurry with most of these activities, so lets take a look at the good stuff. Profiting tasks may include:

When you are profitable, you are doing what you set out to do as an entrepreneur; make money. The more time you spend being profitable, you will be able to spend less time working hard, and your profits will hopefully soar. So I have to ask you, how are you spending your time?

Any successful person will tell you that achieving goals begins with setting them. Back on the fourth of August, I posted a list of Four Blog Goals for August. I am happy to say that I accomplished three of the four goals, but four of four would have been nice. Luckily, the three that were accomplished happened to be the top three in importance.

Success
1. Encourage Personal Networking and Link Building - I have spent WAY too much time on MyBlogLog this last month. MyBlogLog is a great networking site that can lead you to hundreds, if not thousands of blogs in your niche.
