Don't let the email-list of other's sway you from your goals. Protect your valuable and limited attention from "Information Overload". Information Overload will happen when you are not focused. You will not be focused if you do not have goals.

Set small goals, "Take Baby Steps". Focus on it and complete it. Tackle new challenges as they arise - plan your work and work the plan. Again ask yourself how to make it more fun so you enjoy the process of your success. Why is this important?

To break up a boulder into little stones, it takes many swings of a sledge hammer. Each day is another swing. Eventually that boulder will bust and make you very wealthy. But that event takes only a second. Meanwhile your life has been spent on the process. If the process of obtaining wealth is making you miserable or getting you sick, what's the use?

Also, focus on creating a network and community. Help and give to others online and off - any way you can. Be a beacon of hope for others and by helping them you will enrich yourself, build credibility and in turn, find supportive people to network with. Don't be afraid to ask for help either. When you do you will usually help the people you ask too!

Ill expand on this, loving what you do philosophy later. As you will see it will not only affect the content you deliver by bringing a viewpoint or level of competence that others dont have, but even more importantly will transcend your excitement and enthusiasm to your business community and perspective clients.
