Hello,

I have been thinking - ever since the Alex Jeffreys Internet Marketing coaching course has finished - about the tremendous amount of information that everybody has been exposed to. This has also been obvious on Alex Jeffreys own blog where hundreds of people have been making all sorts of observations and comments in the last couple of days at his invitation for feedback.

Now, I don’t mind saying that I am a pretty well organised individual and I am a very good planner and I am methodical. However…

… I too am struggling to cope with everything.

Some time back I made the comment that people were trying to squeeze three years of activity into three months. Alex saw that comment and mentioned it in one of his webinars.

The BIG obstacle that just about everybody faces is TIME.

How can we get everything that needs to be done… done?

So many people have to work all day, run businesses, attend to home demands, attend to family demands, accede to the requests of our friends etc, etc and yet STILL try to find time to build an internet business. And here is what I think…

… I think we are all getting frustrated that everything is taking so long to do. Let’s see…

  • blog posting
  • blog commenting
  • replying to dozens, sometimes 100’s of emails
  • Twitter
  • SEO
  • video production
  • traffic
  • list building
  • forums
  • all the other social media - facebook etc
  • Give-away events
  • trying to create products
  • affiliate marketing
  • understanding and learning new techniques
  • installing blogs and plug-ins and scripts
  • Aweber
  • creating follow-up emails
  • seeing all the latest offers flooding in by the ever increasing army of Internet Marketers
  • Joint Ventures
  • writing articles and submitting them

    And that’s not the entire list That’s just what I quickly rattled off the top of my head. Now I KNOW how busy everyone is. Most are so damn busy that they don’t even have time to read posts like this fully. They certainly don’t have time (or can’t be bothered) reading other people’s comments. I know that because of what is said (or not said) in the comments.

    You see this on Twitter all the time - everybody is so obsessed with throwing their own offers out into the constant stream of people there that very few ever bother to look at what anyone else is doing. Everybody has a “see this” or “visit this” link. Then of course, we have the usual suspects who are so off the planet that NOBODY knows what they are on about, including them! (I’m gonna write a Twitter post soon about some of the UNbelievable things I see there - should make for “interesting” reading)

    From my point of view I get 100’s of emails every day. Yep - every day. There is one IM who emails me at least two or three times a day. I treat this guy like a joke now. I just collect his emails (without even reading them) and re-direct them into a single folder. I find this individual MASSIVELY annoying. However, apparently, he is one of the most mega-successful marketers on the entire Internet. Go figure that…

    There hardly seems to be any time to have a LIFE with everything that needs to be done and every demand that others make upon your time. So I wonder…

    … how are YOU coping? Tell me.

    PS: Is there anything that confuses, confounds, perplexes or FRUSTRATES you so much that you just feel like SCREAMING! (LOL) What annoys the CRAP out of you? Come on… have a whinge or a bitch. Just let it all out. The Gazz-Man is here to laugh WITH you not AT you!
