This is a compendium of steps on how to start small business, that caused another website of its owner, www.all-about-acupuncture.com to hit a milestone $200+ in passive income from may 2010 alone.You may object, these are peanuts. However, if you do not take into account your initial efforts and some servicing, you earn money for doing nearly nothing.

A sneaky time waster
A citation from the Site Sell Forums (New postby ken-admin » Sun Apr 18, 2010 6:00 pm, Gosh Katerhine, Ken Evoy):
"…The Web used to be called the Information Highway.I always thought of the Net as the Information Byway.It is sooooo easy to get sidetracked with "interesting" stuff.You can stop yourself by stretching your "is this important" question by just a few words. Ask instead..."Is this important for my business's profitability, short-or-long-term?"If you can't answer with a huge YES, my guess is that you have something more IMPORTANT to do. :-)."
Ask yourself 5 times, if you really should try a new free software, or if you should sign up an interesting forum or social media. If you leave your focus out of your eyes, you will probably be hung over. Ask yourself: How many subscriptions can you serve, so that they contribute some substantial benefit to your activities? Even if you are able to create a clear structure, for example, by using a mind map the danger of massive overwhelms or information overload remains. Collecting information you cannot use profitably, wastes time only. A platitude, however, common reality.

What is the speed of time?
A physical nonsense, of course. Maybe you heard, that in meditation, time seems to disappear? I am sure you know the feeling to have not time enough. Enough for what? Compare the examples: how many things to do appear in both situations? Right!- missing time happens, if there are many things to do, and you need another piece of time to do something very specific. And if you have no idea, how much time you will need to accomplish all. And if there are many of the tasks that are damned important or urgent. This is pure stress! And what is important – for what? And what is urgent – why? If you miss answering these questions, then you face extreme speed of time! You know the sayings: time flies or time passes slowly. However, if you take a closer look, it is always a matter of the count of things you want or are forced to do within a time span often you define. Normally, 80% of those things contribute most to your shortage of time according to the Pareto Principle. The secret to slow your time down and reduce stress is, not to analyze much the 80% and look, what you may omit, but recognizing the 20% and concentrating your efforts on it. I know, nice words. It is a process, that needs time, you have to change beloved habits. It is an adventure for many people. But it is the truth. The 20% are worth analyzing or better: defining consciously. However, what are the guidelines, what are the rules for defining these 20%? It is the existence of a certain goal. So it may be a sign, that you miss a goal, if you face excessive speed of time. Did you enter a contest for doing a maximum of tasks or do you want to go straight ahead towards a goal? In the latter case, the number of tasks did not count.. The right tasks, the tasks that contribute relevant steps towards your goal count. As a consequence you may establish a personal formula for you, maybe as your New Year´s pledge : “My time management should be a tool only, to reach my goals. So I define my goal(s) and finally reduce the speed of my time down to 20%”!
Take it with a pinch of salt
The cult of done manifesto Sascha Lobos German Website about procrastination http://prokrastination.com/, and his book Getting things done, without any spark of self-discipline (my translation, I think this book is not yet available in english, a dramatic deficit for the world) I stumbled upon Bre Pettis Done Manifesto.Since I publish critical views on time management and will give advice for really time saving methods, I love all ideas, that concuss established and sometimes incrusted ideas in a non offending manner. Although the time frame of manifesting the manifesto (20 minutes) seems to be the product of a jolly mood, each of the 13 points should be rethought fully in detail and open minded built into ones way of living. I am sure most people will benefit from one or another manifesto statement. You need not follow all.
You may read it quickly with a minimum of time to invest. However, the chance is big, that one of the points will convince you to apply it immediately.
