Steve Jobs' Secret to Total Focus

 "Focusing is about saying no." ~ Steve Jobs

In 1997, Apple co-founder, Steve Jobs said that focusing is about saying no. At the time many people didn't understand what he meant. He went on to say,  “You’ve got to say ‘no, no, no’ and when you say ‘no,’ you piss off people.”

He said that focus wasn't a matter of willpower, but having the courage to say no to other people as well as no to other projects so that you can concentrate on one big goal. One important goal.

And that goal can be anything, depending on what the moment needs.

For instance, if you're in the writing 'flow' say no to anyone or anything that tries to take away your focus.

If you're child needs you that's fine, but say no to everyone else who tries to get you to divide your focus. Don't even answer the phone.

If you're spending time with your spouse (or anyone important to you) don't look at your phone.

If you're at work, work.

If you're out having drinks with friends and you'd rather be at home writing, go home and write.

Pick whatever is the most important to you and do that. Give it your complete focus.

Imagine how much writing you could do if you sat and wrote for hours with complete focus on your work. Can you even begin to imagine what they would be like?

Saying no and giving your complete focus to what's important to you, can seem hard at first. Whether you can do it depends on how committed you are.

It's great. It's how I began my writing career many years ago, and it's still just as good today.

How I Found $4,000 Worth of Freelance Writing Opportunities in Just One Magazine and How You Can Too

 I began as a freelance writer over 20 years ago because it was the easiest, fastest and most motivating way to earn money. It was easy because all I had to do was find writing markets and make submissions. It was fast because some markets paid in just a few days, and it was motivating because I just kept writing and submitting and the money kept on coming. I was hooked.

I found it easy to find freelance writing markets, yet I soon discovered that not everyone was that fortunate. It seemed that I'd stumbled onto a way to find them that not all would-be freelance writers knew. In fact, I found so many writing markets that I had to pick and choose which to submit my work to because I didn't have time to write for them all. THAT'S how many freelance writing markets I discovered.

It was during this time that I found a magazine that had a writing opportunity in it that I was interested in. But as I began to look through the magazine more thoroughly, I quickly realised that there was $4,000 worth of writing opportunities in just this one magazine.

This spurred me on to re-evaluate every magazine I had submitted to and realised that they all had even more opportunities than I'd first realised. So then I had hundreds more freelance writing options than I had before.

In my latest ebook, Quick Cash Freelance Writing, I show you the EXACT magazine I found so many opportunities in and list what they were and how much they paid. Plus you'll discover so many more freelance writing markets.

And for the rest of this month, Quick Cash Freelance Writing is only 99 cents. That's right. For less than a dollar you can download it and start writing today.

But be quick. Next month the price goes up.

How to Earn $30 an Hour Writing Short Articles

 Freelance writing is one of the fastest ways to earn money from your writing, and if you're good and can consistently produce short articles, then there's no reason why you can't grow your online writing income to whatever you want, and you can start at the bottom by earning just $30 an hour.

To earn money writing short online articles means articles that are around 300 to 500 words, and people willing to pay for such short articles aren't looking for literary great writing. They just want lots of articles and they want them fast. I write about how to do this in my book, How to Write an Article in 15 Minutes or Less. https://ruthiswriting.com/books/15.html.

A short article is usually just one idea expanded and explained, which is straightforward and simple to do. And you're usually given the subject to write about so it's easy to do, and fast. 

So even if you start out small at $10 an article, if you can write 3 short articles in an hour, that's $30 an hour. And as you write more articles, the experience you gain will quickly help you write faster and earn more.

The first thing to do is to find writing markets. You need to go out and find people who are looking for someone like you to write articles for them.

And this is what I show you in my latest Monthly Challenge Writing Series ebook, Quick Cash Writing Challenge.

Plus I also show you websites where you can sign up for free and start writing articles straight away with no experience required.

And for the rest of this month, Quick Cash Freelance Writing is only 99 cents. That's right. For less than a dollar you can download it and start writing today. But be quick.
