Six Factors To Online Success
Many people think about starting an internet business without giving enough thought to what it takes and whether they will be able to make the necessary changes to their existing outlook to be successful.
Here are some of the things you should consider:-
Self Belief
Do you have sufficient self belief to carry you forward through all the ups and downs building your own business can entail? It's very easy to make all sorts of excuses such as blaming your age,background,education or just plain bad luck.
Belief is the first and most important secret of happiness and success. Do you have faith in yourself or do you believe that other people or circumstances control your life?
Persistence
You will need to demonstrate that you have the ability to keep at it no matter how hard the going becomes. Persistence and consistency are the key elements you should be able to demonstrate. There will be times when you feel like packing it in and accepting you won't make it as an entrepreneur.
This is the "old you" trying to sabotage the "new you"! The "old you" is a subversive force which attacks when your guard is down. Be aware and fight back!
Attitude To Risk
Successful entrepreneurs have learnt to accept that they may on occasion fail. However, they learn from thier failures and come back stronger as a result. Remember, being scared of taking risks discourages intitiative and can lead to damaging paralysis. Nothing ventured nothing gained should be your motto.
Self Improvement
In business as in life, you never stop learning. You will need to be prepared to go to seminars in your niche. Read books and talk to people who have something to give in terms of knowledge and experience. It's essential for you to become an expert in your field. That way, people will seek you out and buy your products.
Goal Setting
In order to be successful in business, you have to know what you want and have a plan for achieving it. Yes, we are talking about that old favourite - goal setting! Oh no, not that again is the normal response.
Basically, a goal is a contract in writing with yourself to do something. This requires hard work, determination and above all discipline. You are in effect setting yourself up for change. Are you mentally prepared for this?
Ambition
Stuart Goldsmith the author and motivational guru states that most people are working under a false ceiling which is less that 3 ft high! They are crammed into a small space without being able to raise their heads. The actual ceiling height could be as high as 100ft although most people's idea of a high ceiling is probably half that. Is poverty of ambition holding you back?
There are four steps to attaining everything that you want in life. They are simple steps as follows:-
1. Know what you want. 2. Believe that you are worth it. 3. Believe that you can achieve it. 4. Go out and get it.
You may be surprised to learn that knowing what you want and believing that you can get it, form over SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT of the secret of success.
If you're going to start a business of any sort but particularly an internet based one where you will almost certainly be working on your own to begin with, you will need to display all of the foregoing qualities in order to be successful.
