Two things that I have learned from them and other successful entrepreneurs is that determination and consistency is key. You can have a great idea, but if you do not jump in with both feet you will be set up for disappointment. If you are starting a blog site, work at it daily, network, write posts, get other people to write posts, focus on providing quality content & keep doing these things even if you do not see significant results right away. Stay consistent!I have made mistakes in the past where I tried an idea and only worked at it part time. I became frustrated that nothing was coming out of it so I gave up. I have learned my lesson and now I do not start something unless I give it 110%.
Find your niche and be determined to make something out of nothing. It is about your mindset and your drive. If you are not passionate about your niche, you will not be motivated to stay consistent and your dream of becoming an entrepreneur will slowly become just that, a dream.
There are so many resources out there to aid in your success. Use them. Join forums, visit your local chambers of commerce, read blogs and simply become active in the industry that you are in (or want to be in).It is amazing where some ideas can come from.By being active rather than passive you will open more doors and allow your idea to come to you, rather than the other way around.
For me, it was about figuring out what I loved to do and how I can do what I love everyday for a living.So, I love to sell.It may not be everyone’s passion, but I truly enjoy the hunt and the close. Marrying my love for selling and my passion for anything Internet related, it made sense for me to become a website broker. I learn about different online industries and speak with people from all over the world on a daily basis. It’s fun, it pays the bills, and it allows me to be my own boss (something everyone who wants be an entrepreneur dreams about). I always enjoy speaking with like-minded individuals, so feel free to call me if you would like to pick my brain.
Until next time…
