I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but along with all the standard internet marketing products – courses, ebooks and softwares – there is a subset of all these how-to, informational offerings.

This subset of products revolves around the "mindset" and "productivity" genre.

If you’ve bought any comprehensive course, whether a high-ticket, full-on multimedia extravaganza or merely a single $47 dollar ebook about how to make a living online, you would have certainly noticed a chapter or two about the entrepreneurial mindset as well as instruction on various productivity habits.

Maybe you’re even tired of all that stuff by now, since you’ve been subjected to it in the first chapter or two of virtually every "make money online" product you’ve bought.

But you probably also realize why that material is present in almost every product, though the tilt on it is somewhat different with each author.

The reason is simple – unless you develop both the mindset of a business person AND develop solid productivity habits, chances are very good you will fail in your efforts.

Perhaps this is why the statistics consistently say that 95% of all new businesses fail within the first two years?…

Hundreds of successful marketers have surveyed hundreds of thousands of not-yet-successful marketers and there is always one recurring theme:

Lack of focus, lack of a strategy, lack of discipline.

Thus, lack of success, profits, and all the other fruits of their "labor".

The average "newbie" marketer takes from 3 to 5 years to finally settle down and focus on one thing at a time and dedicate themselves to just that.

At that point, they finally start to see things begin to happen for them.

Before that, they were blown this direction and that, by every new product offering and every shiny new tool that would make them rich with a single click.

In other words, they finally wake up and face the reality that there is NO Easy Button, Magic Pill or other panacea that will change their lives overnight.

Ok, so now there are several productivity courses on the market, designed by internet marketers for internet marketers.

Mark Joyner has had Simpleology, Profit Praxes, Desktop Cockpit and other productivity tools online for several years now.

Eben Pagan has his 12-week, $297 "Wake Up Productive" course.

And recently an unknown guy (at least to me) named Jeff Vacek came out with his "Go Be Productive" course (also pretty pricey).

Then Joe Vitale released an audio course on his secret to his prolific writing and productivity.

And there are many more, from a $17 e-report to a full tilt Nightingale Conant physical product.

So, clearly there’s a need to offset all the noise that the average sole proprietor, work-at-home type is bombarded with on a daily basis.

But maybe the average guy or gal doesn’t need a full course on productivity.

Maybe they already understand the whole mindset thing after reading about it in 50 different ebooks and courses.

So finally, someone builds a TOOL to help make all that "book learning" a reality.

Enter The Action Machine.

Here’s a light-weight, configurable tool that allows the work-at-home folks – or really anyone who spends most of their productive time on a computer – to get the maximum bang for their buck.

In short, it’s a superb piece of software that acts as your daily accountability partner.

You input tasks, times for completion and other details and then run the timer for that action.

It helps to keep you focused on what you should be doing and alerts you when the time for that action has elapsed.

It allows you to track your productivity and print out reports, so you can track your progress.

In short, it’s The One Tool Every Internet Marketer Needs!

I grabbed it when it first came out and was quite pleased with it.

But there were some features it didn’t have, so I (and a bunch of other folks) wrote to the author and asked for some additional features to be added.

Within two weeks he had released Version 2 – with all the additional features I had asked for!

I now use it every day and have definitely noticed how I focus on ONE THING AT A TIME now, instead of being constantly distracted.

One example is how I’ve trimmed 15 minutes per day off of my email time.

That’s almost 2 hours per week saved on just one recurring task.

I could go on and on, but this post is too long already.

But Derek, the product creator, has a very nice video on his site showing how The Action Machine works.

I suggest you check it out.

That is, unless you already get everything done you want to get done on a daily basis…

To better productivity and higher profits!
