For many of us, starting up an Internet based business will allow us to eventually break free of the grips of traditional work.
Yes I’m talking about the trading time for money gig that you are sick of. Many are trying to make their own way because of wanting the freedom of time and better finances that are available to Internet entrepreneurs. The trick is, building the business while you are working your current job. (j.o.b.=just over broke)
In this article series, I will give you tips on avoiding the pitfalls many of us have fallen into starting up an online business, and the time saving tactics that can lead to quicker financial freedom.
The very first thing I want to address is commitment. 97% of marketers fail when starting their own online business! That is actually good news for us! The 3% that tough it out and learn, reap huge rewards.
Commitment is the key ingredient to every successful internet marketer, home business entrepreneur, or successful person in any area you see. Many of them have tried and failed so many times they have lost count. Fortunately today, the internet has allowed people to learn from others experience easily. There are lots of legitimate home based and Internet based businesses out there.
The key is once you have picked one, stick with the plan. Commit to doing a daily method of operation. Do it over and over and over again. The commitment will pay off. Yes, you do need to tweak and tune, but the persistent will be the victors in this game. Many have set up systems that take a lot of the mistakes away for you.
This may seem like an obvious thing, but many, including me, have moved from strategy to strategy, company to company, trying the next best thing. This is where commitment will prevent you from jumping ship, becoming part of the 97% that fail. Most of these systems work if you do them right.
It is important, however, to pick the business right for you from the start. This should be one that has the key ingredients for success. I’ll cover that later in the series.
Commitment can be strengthened in a number of ways. One popular way is visualization. This involved visualizing the lifestyle or things you want to obtain. For me, this was time with my family and the freedom to do what I want and not have to beg for permission from a boss. For others, this might mean a yacht on the Caribbean. It is different for everybody.
I don’t recommend this for entrepreneurs, but I know a woman that wants to lose weight that puts up a picture she hates of herself on the кefrigerator. This works for her, but I think focusing on negatives in business is a bad system to use! The visualization keeps her focused on what she wants to be, thin. As an entrepreneur, focus on something you want, not what you don’t want. Keep it in front of you.
Another way to strengthen commitment is affirmations. I like this one. It involves stating that “I am a ______”.
This may be millionaire, a world class runner, or top online marketer. Whatever it is, stating it daily can help you believe and commit to doing what it takes to get there.
It may seem hard to be committed when you already have a family, friends, religion, and a full-time job. Thecommitment you have though can help you go the extra that sets apart the successful from the failed. It also what
is going to enable you to reach your goals of becoming your own online business owner.
