Here is an Internet marketing tactic that can really help you develop a business that is capable of running itself if you decide to take a vacation or otherwise become incapable of managing the day-to-day affairs of your enterprise.
Pretend you cannot operate your business for at least seven days. When you stop and think about that for a moment, it really starts to make you wonder about what it is you need to do to get your business to the point where your personal intervention is not required for it to operate.
To the extent you run a business where your personal involvement is required every single day, then you may need to rethink your business model. This is especially true if you ever want to take an extended vacation or if you ever want to be able to retire and collect revenue from the business that you created.
To the extent you visit Internet marketing message forums, you'll notice that a lot of people seem to have reached this point in their business. In other words, they spend most of their day chit chatting with other people instead of actually working on their business. That might suggest that they have already reached the point where their business is capable of running itself and they are making a lot of money. Odds are, this is not the case.
Far too many Internet marketers try to do everything themselves. As a result, they can become very frustrated and tired. As a way to escape the tedious nature of doing all the work themselves, they visit these forums and spend all day long speaking to other people who don't really know what they are doing.
Here's the bottom line: you need to pretend you cannot operate your business. This will force you to think about how to structure an Internet marketing business that is largely capable of running itself.
