authority as it’s something that’s taken him sixyears to master.

In the video Stuart talks about looking afteryourself to ensure not just a healthy andenjoyable life but also a “profitable onlinebusiness”. He shares some insights on what’simpacted his productivity and factors that alsorelate to living a healthy and balanced lifestyle.\

Things That Impact On BuildingA Profitable Online Business

One of the things you’ll find in building an onlinebusiness is that because you have the ability towork anywhere and at anytime (including frombed on your laptop if you want to) it becomesvery easy to work all the time. Stuart came froma career where he was used to working seventyplus hours a week, so working a lot of hours wasnormal for him.

When he was building his internet business aswell as working his job there was not reallyanything else he did but work and sleep. Duringthis time he often let himself get into a negativestate.

His nutrition went down the drain as he wouldsit at home working on his laptop eating crisps(chips) and drinking fizzy drinks (soda). He woulddo this slouched on his sofa working every spareminute he had.

Profitable Online Business:Being Reactive is Not Productive

But frankly a lot of this time was not productiveas he was just being reactive. He never reallytook enough time out to proactively plan what hewas going to work on and this led to a downwardspiral.

Stuart was quite fortunate because when hestarted his online business he had no children,only had himself to look after and was not ina serious relationship. So during this period itwas fairly easy for him to be selfish with his time(which he got very good at).

He saw or socialised with no one andjust worked. And maybe these circumstanceshelped to start with. But these circumstancesdo not apply to Stuart’s typical students atthe SFM & DEA where he’s co-founder with JayKubasssek. These students are often people intheir forties with responsibilities with children andjobs,etc.

He’s often found that when individuals do notlook after themselves, over-work their onlinebusiness and give themselves no time toexercise or spend with their family – it is notsustainable.

Being Steady and Consistentis Best in the Long-Term

In fact frequently Stuart notices that its studentswho go all out and are gung-ho at the start arethose that give up the quickest on their goals andtheir dreams – because it’s not sustainable.

He’s found that it’s the individuals who are steadyand consistent, who show up on a regular basisand who are of the frame of mind that the resultwill come no matter how long it takes – are theones who successfully build a profitable onlinebusiness.

These type of people are far more likely tosucceed rather than the people who talk aboutmaking tons of money and drastically changingtheir life and the world in the next six months.These people tend to fizzle out the fastest.

One of the most important things to sustain yourefforts is looking after yourself. Simple thingslike exercise, getting fresh air and spendingtime with your family. The chances are you arewanting to build a profitable online business tohave more free time and give more quality timeto your family.

Do not take the route of doing every thing butthat with the view that you’ll get that time backlater because this is not sustainable. What you’llalso find is that when the results are not comingas quickly as you would like or the money isnot pouring in, you will end up resenting yourbusiness.

This is because you’ll get pressure from thefamily, your nutrition has gone down the toilet,your putting on weight and you’ve got noenergy. The result is that you will look at what’shappened since you’ve started building yourinternet business around your job and all you canreally see is the negatives.

Being tired, lack of energy and family resentingyou. So the advice that Stuart gives – and it’sadvice that he’s given to personal students atthe SFM & DEA that have gone onto buildsuccessful online businesses – is to schedulesome down time. This gets easier when you’rerunning a profitable online business full-time.

However, last year Stuart went three steps backas he had a lot more responsibility due to buildingthe business and taking it to the next level andalso growing the team. As a result towards theend of the year he was burnt out and the timehe was working on the business ended up beingreactive and not as effective.

Schedule Some Downtime

So for this year Stuart has made sure that everymorning he gets up and does some exercise, likegoing for a walk with the dog or having a swim.He’ll also sit in the jacuzzi, sauna or steam room.He often starts his day at 11.30am after mostpeople are stressed out after their commute andmorning meetings.

At this time Stuart is just getting started wherehe can choose whether he works at home or at

the office. This is the life of a successful digitalentrepreneur.

It’s worth every bit of effective effort you put into building a profitable online business becausethe end result is more balance in your life. This isso important in the long-term and it’s somethingthat’s taken Stuart six years to master.

Hopefully you can take some guidance from this.The one important factor that Stuart has foundwhen building an internet marketing business isto be sensible with your scheduling. The “SteadyEddy” will often be the one who yields the bestresults in the long-term.

If that means you only have an hour a day onyour business, then it’s better to have an hourthat’s productive. This should be a time whenyou are not feeling negative and when you arefocused.

Those who take the gung-ho approach whichwill not last and they’ll become one of thestatistics who quit their online business. Thisusually happens in the first six to twelve monthsof getting started online as it takes a lot of work,effort and learning new skills sets.

But an hour of proactive money producingactivity each and every day is going to be asmuch a 10X the value to building your profitableonline business rather than two to three hours ofunfocused work which is not sustainable for themajority of people who still have a job and familyresponsibilities.
