The internet has given everyone the opportunity to make A LOT of money publishing content that can be seen by potentially millions of people around the world.
Creating and publishing content can change people’s lives.
I know that very well.
As a publisher of information products, I have made many millions publishing books, courses, and manuals.
Today, virtually anyone anywhere in the world can create and publish information that can be seen by potentially millions of people… and that content can earn them money.
The internet has allowed ordinary people to have their own wildly successful and profitable online businesses.
You can easily create products that can be sold multiple times; products that can take as little as a few hours to create using cheap tools which most people take for granted.
A laptop, a webcam, a microphone, and a mobile phone are all you need to make a very decent income.
One of the reasons people fail to make money online – which is incredible when you consider how easy it is to make money online – is that they do not make a plan of what they need to do.
Without a plan, it is easy to become distracted and lost.
Without a plan, you struggle to move forward because you are not sure what you are to do next.
Not having a plan leads to a lot of head scratching and wasted time.
As Benjamin Franklin said…
“By failing to plan, you are preparing to fail”
And that is true… without a plan success is unlikely to be achieved!
A person without a good plan will dither and flip from one thing to another, failing miserably as they do.
If you don’t have a plan but you wish for success and wealth, then… I’m sorry to say… it won’t happen.
Fortunately, the good news is that if you spend just one day planning, your chances of success increases astronomically.
Even just a couple of hours are better than nothing.

As it is the start of a new year you should spend a day planning out what it is that you want to achieve this year, and figure out what you need to do to make sure that you are successful.
Spending time figuring out what it is that you want and need to do makes doing it so much easier.
With a good plan there is no sitting around each day trying to figure out what you need to do next.
When you have a plan you already know what you need to do. You just need to do what is listed next on it.
When creating an overall plan, you should do it in multiple parts. Basically, you will need several complimenting plans.
They are:
- A Yearly Plan.
- A Six Month Plan.
- A Three Month Plan.
- A Monthly Plan.
- A Weekly Plan.
I would suggest that you spend at least one day a month working on a changes that may need making to your plan. As time passes and you work on your plan, things may change as your business/work evolves.
I also suggest that you spend at least one hour on a Monday working through your weekly plan and creating a plan for each day.
The idea of a plan is that you know EXACTLY what you need to do and when.
Not only does it remove a lot of confusion and frustration, it saves you a lot of work and allows you to spend less time ‘at work’ because you are working efficiently.
A perfect example of this is when one of our writers spent hours looking out of a window, and pacing up and down trying to think of something to write about. It happened several times over a one week period.
Usually, he plans out his week so that he knows what to write about each day, but for some reason, he hadn’t planned out that week and it left him lost and frustrated.
When Friday landed, he spent time planning out the following week and so when the time came to write he wasn’t wasting time trying to think of ideas.
Bizarrely, he says that it takes less time to plan out his writing a week before, than it takes when he needs to think of something to write about on the day.
He can come up with several article ideas while he sits with a cuppa making notes at the end of the week, but when he needs to think of something to write there and then… he struggles to come up with good ideas.
It might have something to do with a relaxed and calm mind that has all the time to think versus a desperate and frustrated mind that needs an idea fast.
When you work efficiently, you tend to do more in less time meaning that you have more spare time.
People with a plan work efficiently, people without a plan are ‘busy’ and there is a world of difference between ‘working’ and ‘being busy’.
A person can be really busy all year and achieve absolutely nothing.
Spending time working on a plan IS the big difference, a plan is a map that guides you to your chosen destination, it is the fastest route… a plan is the ‘big break’ people desire.
You create your ‘big break’ by creating a plan.
I hope you are spending some time this week creating a plan for the coming year. If you aren’t, maybe you should.
Kind regards
John Harrison
