I agree with the list, especially to have a daily business plan. These plans are especially important to people who work from home. There are so many distractions to working from home. There is the TV, the House Work, the Computer…(posting on message boards and blogs for instance instead of working on your e-book!).
If you set strict deadlines even when you’re working for yourself you will be more likely to succeed. If you tell someone else about your deadline it’s even better. Then once you have say a monthly deadline, you can create a daily business plan from those deadlines that will get you to the end.
For example, if you’re writing an e-book, and the final date you set for yourself is 30 days away and you want the ebook to be 60 pages, then you should write two complete pages per day. That is very do-able and not over whelming when you look at it that way.
Anyone can do it.
The other part I agree with is exercise. Keeping your energy up is very important!

What a great list. If only we small business owners would all remember this on a daily basis.
