Entrepreneurs Top Tip For an Online Business

Entrepreneurs Top Tip - What you must have to find success online. What is the entrepreneurs' top tip for an online business? Most people are looking to get a secret to put them over the top of the mountain. The traits of entrepreneurs are unique and they must be different than the average person. An entrepreneur is someone who has separated themselves from the rest of society in the business world.  The greatest entrepreneurs' top tip for someone involved in an online business is a unique trait to have a clearly defined purpose for their business. The purpose is the why in your business. Have you clearly defined what your purpose is? Your purpose has to be bigger than you. You need to have a purpose because it will ultimately take you where you want to be.  It is about thinking past the money that you make or are trying to make. If your goal is to make $20,000 per month you need to ask yourself some deeper questions. What is the money for? What does the money get you? Make yourself think past this number and what your purpose can do for you. It is this deeper level of thinking that separates entrepreneurs. A lot of business owners online will never think beyond the money. And that is why over 97% of them eventually fail because it is not the money that will make you happy in the long run, yet it is your purpose for your business. People that make the money but lack the purpose, lack the fulfillment.

Your purpose is what makes you get up early in the morning. It is what lights your fire. When you will face the toughest of tasks your purpose is what will get you through it. We all face challenges in our business but returning to your purpose is the best answer.  This great entrepreneurs' top tip for purpose is being dedicated to the why of your business. Work harder to focus on this why. When you have one eye focused on your reward (money) and one eye focused on your purpose then it will take you much longer to achieve your success. But when both eyes are focused on your purpose you will accomplish your goals much faster. This is because giving begins the receiving process. When you give you will receive back ten fold.  An example of this is Southwest Airlines. They have been the most profitable airlines in the history of the industry. Why? The purpose of their airlines is to serve the people first. Their focus was to have shorter flights for grandma to go visit her grand kids and for businesses to make day trips to visit clients. They focus on their purpose of serving people and then built an entire business model around it. That is what they are the most successful airline in history.

So take the greatest entrepreneurs' top tip and have a clearly defined purpose for your business. Then go put it into action!  Lance Blackburn is a business coach and mentor that assists serious entrepreneurs in building a profitable online business with multiple incomes streams.

How to Get Rich Quick on the Web - It Takes Faith

Promoting an internet marketing program is a tough game. Once you have selected a marketing strategy and you have enough desire, the next ingredient to add is FAITH. If you are lacking in this characteristic do not worry, most of us are. Believe it or not FAITH is a state of mind that can be created through affirmation or self talk. You need this state of mind to be able to persevere through a 90 day initial period of implementing internet marketing techniques.  As in previous articles, I must be responsible for a bit of common sense here. How do you define "get rich quick?" Get real here. I'm personally working with two guys right now that were in debt up to their eyeballs in 2008 and now earn five to six figures per month. Does that fit your definition of "get rich quick"? Please be realistic, these two guys are the exception, not the rule. But, if you are willing to work hard and educate yourself, you can do well within a year or two. Maybe even great. OK, let us continue... FAITH is simply a state of mind to be induced through auto-suggested affirmations mixed with positive emotions. FAITH is often referred to as the "evidence of the unseen." If you need to develop strong FAITH to believe in your not-yet-materialized goals, begin an internal campaign. One of mixing positive emotions (your dream goals or dream lifestyle) with positive self affirmations and FAITH will begin to emerge. This strong FAITH has to be a part of any internet marketing strategy.

The practical application as it relates to your internet marketing business can happen naturally. As your confidence in your web marketing ability grows, you begin to develop a fertile mind for positive self talk. Your self talk must be carefully crafted and memorized. It must be repeated over and over again both audibly and quietly within. It sounds nuts, but this is how you forge through the beginning stages of internet marketing online when you have little to show for a couple of months of effort. FAITH is the key.  One of the biggest reasons that good web marketers fail is not because they do not have the skills, but because they quit their internet marketing advertising strategies too soon. Their success was just around the corner and they move on to another technique, denying themselves the opportunity to succeed. You must have the "evidence of your unseen success" implanted in your mind as you proceed down the path. This kind of FAITH requires the self confidence to create belief in the achievement of your unseen goals.  Because of the brevity of this article, I cannot stress enough the importance of reviewing the "self confidence formula" defined in the book, Think and Grow Rich. The importance of self confidence is aptly described in the following poem found in the chapter on FAITH:
If you think you are beaten you are,
If you think you dare not, you don't,
If you like to win, but you think you can't,
It is almost certain you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a person's will--
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed you are,
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later the one who wins
Is the one who thinks he can!
Bottom line? Create FAITH as you grow in your chosen venture. Write down your chief aims and goals, memorize them and put into action the principle of self talk. If you do, you will soon evolve into a force within your affiliate internet marketing program, top tier direct sales or network marketing MLM. If you feel you need a deeper discussion of building FAITH, it can be found in Napolean Hill's book, Think and Grow Rich.
