Most people will have heard the term "approach" used before. Do you know what it really means?

Basically what this means is simply, how you are going to run your online business. What do you want to accomplish? How quickly do you want results? What is the level of dedication that you have?

So, let's chart out different ways to "Approach" your new business and the results you should see from those actions.

The way we see people breaking down into different groups is as follows:

1. Just a hobby
2. A Little Extra Spending Money?
3. I Eventually Want To Replace My Income
4. This Is My Fulltime Job!

"Just a hobby?"
For those of you that see your business as just a hobby, a way to pass the time instead of watching TV. Then really for you, your approach would be much more leisurely. When you feel like sitting down and learning a few new things or maybe spend 30 minutes surfing, just to see what's new. Typically you may not see much result. A few things may fall your way, but you should never really expect too much out of your "hobby" other than to help you pass the time.

"A Little Extra Spending Money?"
Now, you get to the people that would like to see a few hundred dollars a month from their online venture. Maybe, you started out as a hobbies, and had a few things fall your way and then realized that a few extra hundred dollars comes in quite handy. You could also be the person with limited time but really need the extra money that your online business brings you. Maybe, you'd like to catch up on some bills. Whatever your particular case may be it's important to remember that you will get out what you put in! 

The most important thing is consistency and time management. Don't waste time! (A good training to read would be Time Management) If you spend an hour each night and four to six hours each weekend running your business consistently and actually working during that time, you should see some results. It's very important to prioritize your time and tasks! You'd be surprised how much you can accomplish in such a short time. However, you'd be surprised how much of that time can also be wasted! Promoting and managing should be where you spend the bulk of your time!

"I Eventually Want To Replace My Income"
Ahhhhhh, tired of the "Rat Race"? Looking to start slow but build strong so that you can eventually, "FIRE YOUR BOSS"? Okay, you need to put in a little more time and effort. But first things first, you need to set a goal as to when you want to leave your current line of work. This will greatly determine how much of your valuable time that you put into your "new career". Be realistic, that is the key! If you are currently bringing home $2,000 a month and you are only making $300 a month from your online business, don't go handing your notice in just yet. First off, "Don't jump the gun!" Figure it out logically.

If you spend 8 hours a week on your online venture and you make $300 a month and it took you 8 weeks to build that momentum up then logically, 16 hours a week should just about double that income while continuing to build momentum. 24 hours a week should triple your income and 32 to 40 hours a week should replace what you are currently making.

Also remember to factor in things like, benefits and taxes. Please understand that this is just an example. People are different. There are thousands of variables here, the chaos theory truly applies itself in this situation. People are different, your work ethic, your attitude, your desire, your goals, your experience....all these things do come into play. Your 40 hours a week will bring totally different results than someone else's 40 hours. Simply because, no two people work the same or have the same drive or desires and needs.

"This Is My Fulltime Job!"
Now, you want to be a fulltime, "Online Network Marketer"? Okay, this takes a whole lot of dedication and desire. And an enormous amount of courage! There are a few, only a handful that will "burn the bridge" and jump right in! There is also some of you that had no choice, your bridge may have been burned for you, so have you made a conscious decision to go full force? 

Okay, well first off, time is not on your side. It may seem that those days are long, but if you did what some did then you have no choice, THIS MUST WORK!!! and work fast! The highest priority for you is to get everything up and running quickly! Don't waste time on all the little details that you can work out along the way. Just get yourself up and running and most important....PROMOTING! Make sure that you find a successful, true "Online Network Marketer" to follow and learn from, a true mentor not a sponsor...a mentor! Someone to guide you and teach you what they are doing and why they are so successful! 

Because of their situations, many people learn very fast to manage our time, be consistent and most important...Never keep all your eggs in one basket. Multiple streams of income is what will make you successful! Leverage your funds, and when the money starts coming in always put money back into your business. If you treat this like a million dollar business then that's what it will be. Nothing will be handed to you, running a home business takes time, effort, dedication and a lot of hard work. 

The time and effort that you put in, will be shown by the results that you achieve! However, again...you could spend 40 to 60 hours a week "working" and get no where because you did not manage your time. Learn as much as you can from successful people. 

Sites like this training site are gold mines to the "Fulltime Network Marketer" because, they have already taken the time to test things out and find out what works and what doesn't, so following a guide line, like this site will help you stay on track and not waste time on promotions that just don't work.

Another piece to this ever complex puzzle is self improvement!

Remember, whether it's just for fun or it's your career...make it fun, after all stress will get you nowhere fast....but peace of mind and a happy heart is the breeding ground for success!
