How To Make Your Online Business A Success:

Every day out there in the brick and mortar world, millions of people drag themselves from their nice warm beds, take a shower, grab a cup of coffee, and head off to their jobs, as they are thinking that there has got to be a better way to make a living.

I would bet that just about all of those millions of people, at least know someone who has quit the “rat race” grind, and is making a very good living by working on their personal computers, from the comfort of their own home.

Working from home sounds like an ideal solution to them. Many of these dissatisfied souls will quit their jobs and plunge head-first into internet business with no preparation, no knowledge of what they are doing, no education, and no hope of success. Failure is their only option, and they don’t even suspect.

The fact is that according to many sources, more than 90% of all Internet business start-ups end in failure within the first 120 days.

Of course, success is possible. There is that other 10% that do succeed. The thing is success doesn’t happen by accident. And success isn’t just a crap shoot. Success happens because of some very important factors.

Success happens because people have the right ideas about internet marketing and how it works. They do not expect to get rich quick or be able to make a killing overnight and retire to a tropical isle.

It is strange but somehow the same people who wouldn’t dream of starting a real-world business, think they can make a go of an internet business even though they have no business background.

People will go into an internet business with the idea that they no longer have to get up and go to work. They think they can simply work when the feel like it and still make a good living. They simply do not expect to have to work hard or work long hours.

False Perceptions About The Internet

The 90% failure rate of new Internet businesses really isn’t all that surprising when you stop to think about the people who are starting internet businesses.

For some unknown reason, most people think that running a successful internet business is as easy as getting a website built and hanging out an ‘open for business’ sign. They couldn’t be more wrong.

Running a successful internet business of any kind requires self-discipline. People will start an internet business and think that they can party all night, sleep until noon and then make a living in 3 or 4 hours sitting in front of a computer. They somehow think that the world is just going to line up on their website and hand over money. It isn’t going to happen.

Internet businesses do not run on autopilot. It is true that well established internet marketing gurus do not have to put in long, tedious hours on their businesses but it is a privilege that that has been earned by putting in a lot of long and tedious hours.

It didn’t happen overnight for them and it won’t happen overnight for anybody. Most people are totally unprepared for the time investment that must be made for an internet business to become successful.

No Background In Business

All businesses have two things in common. They are businesses and they must be run like businesses! The people who oversee a business need to understand the accepted practices of business.

They need to understand simple and basic ideas like acceptable overhead expenses in relation to projected income. Internet entrepreneurs need to understand profit and loss and what constitutes each.

A college degree in business is not essential for an internet business entrepreneur to be successful but it sure wouldn’t hurt. Just some basic business knowledge is vital.

If you have a hard time balancing your personal checkbook, you probably should keep your day job and forget about starting an internet business.

Accounting firms can tell you whether you made a profit but not how to make it. If you have no business background you need to, at the very minimum, get some good business advice before you even consider opening an online business.

The fact is that all successful businesses operate on sound business principles. Successful businesses aren’t accidents. The proof is in the numbers. Only 10% of new internet businesses are successful or are even still in existence, after the first 120 days of operation.

Having The Right Attitude Is Crucial To Becoming Successful

You have most likely heard the phrase- “He/she has an attitude!” This is usually a derogatory remark made about a person with a disagreeable attitude.

But the word ‘attitude’ is an important one when discussing internet marketing start-ups. A good attitude/mindset can’t insure success, but a bad attitude/bad mindset, can certainly guarantee failure.

Here are some wrong attitudes that will absolutely guarantee failure:

1. I can work when I want to. Wrong, wrong, wrong! You can’t just work when you feel like it. You must expect to put in many long and very tedious hours of very hard work to make a new internet venture successful.

2. I can get rich quick! You couldn’t be more wrong, and you are not only wrong, but you are putting yourself in danger as well. There are bazillions of crooks out there on the internet who are waiting for their next easy mark and if you are looking for a quick way to get rich, you ARE the next mark.

3. It is possible to make a very comfortable living with internet marketing enterprises but if anybody ever tells you it is quick or easy, they
are lying to you.

4. I don’t need a business plan. There you are…wrong yet again. Internet business is still business. All of the same business principles apply to online business as apply to brick and mortar business. It is imperative that you have a plan for success that is based upon these sound business principles.

5. When you have an internet business of your own, you don’t have a boss. Wrong again! You are your boss. If you aren’t a good boss who sees to it that work is accomplished on time and in full, you will doom yourself to certain failure. Unless you are a boss who sets up a working schedule and establishes goals that must be met, you will find yourself working at a job under a boss who does do those things and maybe for minimum wage.

How You Can Avoid Joining the Failing Masses

The thing about starting a business, any business, is that there is no guarantee of success. You’ve gotta earn it, every step of the way.

Even big international businesses can fail at new business ventures. Failure is always an option, but the possibility of success can be optimized.

You can optimize the possibility of success by:

1. Having a good solid business plan in place BEFORE you launch your online business. There is an old saying: “Those who fail to plan, plan to
fail”. A detailed set of plans for success needs to be made. You need to have the steps from getting from point A to point B, listed in detail, that include realistic cost estimates for accomplishing each step.

2. Expecting to work hard to accomplish your goals. You must never expect anything to be easy. You will be right most of the time because things are rarely as easy as they look. Each step toward success requires work, time, and patience. Sometimes things don’t work out right on the first try. You must be willing to try again and again until you do succeed.

3. Not falling for ‘get-rich-quick schemes. The internet woods are full of those who prey upon those who are looking for quick and easy ways to become rich. Those ways do not exist. Get over thinking that there is an easy way. There is NOT. Remember those statistics! Ninety percent of all new internet businesses fail in the first 120 days. You don’t have to be part of that majority. You can become a part of that 10% minority of successful internet business enterprises.

Cornerstones of Successful Internet Entrepreneurship

Running a successful internet business can look easy when you are on the outside looking in. You look at a successful internet entrepreneur and he/she.doesn’t look like he/she is doing anything special, but he is living the good life. It really doesn’t look like he is working all that hard. He seems to be enjoying life immensely.

Really…all he is doing is sitting comfortably in front of his own computer in his own very comfortable home a few hours a day. He talks on the telephone and seems to be enjoying every conversation.

Apparently, running a successful internet business is the proverbial ‘piece of cake’! Right? WRONG!!! Wrong, wrong, wrong!

You are looking at the results of a very, very long and tedious process that consisted of many very long, late-night hours and a lot of blood, sweat and tears over a period of several years.

This successful internet entrepreneur worked very, very hard for the success that you are looking at.

It is more than a little bit likely that he first placed four corner stone’s first as he began the long process of building his successful Internet business. Those four cornerstones upon which he built his success are:

1. The right mindset.
2. Recognizing and using leverage.
3. Building a set of useful contacts.
4. And he probably had a mentor.

We will discuss these four cornerstones that must be laid down first so that a successful internet business can be constructed.

All of them are important, even crucial to the success of any business but especially to the success of an internet-based business.

Constructing a successful business in cyber space has many things in common with the building of a successful brick and mortar business but there are
significant differences as well.

Having the Right Mindset

The success of any business, both of the online variety and the offline variety require having the right mindset, to succeed.

Having the right mindset will not guarantee success but having the wrong mindset will most assuredly guarantee failure. Having the right mindset is the first corner stone that must be laid, to build a successful internet business.

Those who believe that they can make an internet business enterprise thrive without having to put in any time or effort are simply doomed to fail from the beginning.

There are schemers and scammers out there in cyberspace that are just waiting eagerly for those to come along who are looking for easy riches.

Having the right mindset is the willingness to take the time to make a good, solid business plan that is based upon sound business principles.

Recognizing and Using Leverage

There are dozens of business models out there. Some are of course more successful than others, but they all come with their own set of pros and cons.

The idea is to get the most bang for the buck. You need to use all of the power of the Internet to make your e-business successful. You really cannot afford to leave any stone unturned.

If you are a real go-getter, the temptation is to do everything first and that isn’t possible. You need to make a realistic plan and build one thing upon another until you have a good solid base from which to operate.

Once you get a website built, you will need to begin leveraging SEO (search engine optimization) and gaining page rank.

One thing does lead to another, of course, but one of the quickest ways to leverage SEO is to add a blog to your website. This is a way that you can get much more quickly indexed by the search engines.

Leveraging also includes branding yourself, your website, and your products. One of the quicker ways to begin to get yourself branded is by investing in PLR (Private Label Rights) products and changing the names of those products to include your own name or logo.

This is probably the quickest way to become branded as well as gain credibility on the internet. For example: you might buy a PLR E-Book about Easy Dog Training and change the name to “John Doe’s Easy Dog Training Methods”.

You can sell the book, give it away as a free gift on your own website or list it on E-book directories, for others to see/use.

Remember that reputation and credibility are everything on the internet. Don’t take any shortcuts and never damage or allow others to damage either.

Find a Capable Mentor

It isn’t likely that there is a more valuable asset that a new e-entrepreneur can have than a good and capable mentor. Someone who has already made all of the mistakes can help you to avoid making all of the mistakes yourself.

They have the wisdom that comes from experience to point out pitfalls and to help direct you toward the better of choices.

Why, you ask, would anyone who has it made want to take their time to help a newbie succeed?

The Key to Continuous Growth and Expansion

Grow or die! This is one of the laws of nature that applies to all living things. All business lives by this law as well. A business cannot begin, grow to a certain point, and then simply remain at that point and continue to thrive.

Growth and expansion are necessary for the business to survive and if that growth and expansion do not happen then the business will fade and die or crash and burn.

Growth and expansion of business must be controlled by the business owners or managers. If growth is too slow, the business will lag the competition. If growth is too fast, the business can easily become over extended.

A steady controlled growth is the ideal. Of course, the ideal and the reality are sometimes two very different things.

Sometimes the terms ‘growth and expansion’ are a bit misunderstood. The most obvious meaning of both terms is to get bigger and broader, but those meanings are not the only ones that apply.

Growth, for example, can mean gaining knowledge and becoming wiser and expansion can mean broadening the knowledge base from which a company operates.

A small internet based company does not have to grow and expand until it becomes a giant multi-national company in order to survive but the owners and managers of these internet businesses do have to grow by getting smarter and expand by welcoming change with open arms.

Nothing ever just stays the same. Change is the only certainty in the world. What was hot or what worked yesterday is old news today and it will be ancient history tomorrow.

Company owners and managers must grow and adapt to changes as they happen, and on the internet, changes happen a lot faster than they do out in the brick and mortar world.

We all agree that growing, adapting, and expanding is vital to the survival of any business. So, the question is: What is the key to growth and expansion of an internet based business?

The key to growth and expansion of an internet-based business is for the business owner or manager to always and continuously invest in them. They must be willing to stay on the cutting edge of technology and be willing to accept and adapt to changes as they occur.

Internet businesses are not buildings. Internet businesses are people. An internet business cannot grow by investing in a larger building.

It only grows when the person who is driving that business invests in his or her own knowledge and ability.

An internet business cannot expand by investing in hiring more people. An internet business expands when the person who is driving it invests in himself or herself.

The bottom line is this: The key to continuous growth and expansion of an internet-based business is continuous investments being made in the owner or manager of the business. The short answer: Invest in yourself.

Invest in Yourself

You have no doubt heard this refrain many times.

“Invest in yourself! Invest in yourself! Invest is yourself!” But what does “invest in yourself” mean? Does it mean you should go out and invest in a haircut that costs two hundred bucks? Does it mean that you should go by yourself a designer suit? What does it mean to invest in yourself?

Well, if you can afford it, go get that haircut and buy that designer suit but that is not the kind of investment that we are talking about here.

Your internet business is just you, your computer and your internet connection and you could operate your internet business from any commuter on the planet that had an internet connection.

So basically, your business is really only you. Your business is based only upon your own knowledge and your own ability. Those are the ‘company’ assets and those are the ones that need to grow and expand constantly so that your internet business thrives.

Here is a rule that you might want to live by to ensure that your internet business is a success and continues to be a success: Invest 5% of your time and income into improving yourself.

Expansion and growth are imperative to survival and expansion and growth of an internet business means expanding and growing the knowledge of the person running the company…that would be YOU.

A tiny investment of only 5% of your time and your income per year in yourself can mean that you will continue to see positive monetary returns for many, many years to come.

You might be sitting there shaking your head and still wondering what is meant by a 5% time and income investment per year in yourself. What is meant is that you must expand your knowledge.

You must stay on top of new technological advancements and you must expand your knowledge base about your own area of expertise. Things change fast. New information becomes available on almost everything under the sun every day of the week.

It is very, very easy to fall behind very, very quickly. And unless you consciously put forth the effort to stay on top of things you will most certainly fall behind. Keeping up is easier than catching up and if you keep up, you can usually find a way to forge ahead.

Yes, you are so busy right now that you could use 48 hour days but taking just about one hour per day out of the 24 that you are allotted and only $5 out of every hundred dollars that you earn and investing that time and money in yourself can increase your future earnings a hundred fold.

There are newsletters, webinars, teleseminars and real brick and mortar seminars that can provide information and cause your knowledge to grow and expand so that your business can also grow and expand but you must be willing to invest in yourself so that you can take advantage of this information…learn it…and apply it to your own internet business.

Self-Investment Tips that Really Work

It is true that time is the one commodity that most internet entrepreneurs have a very, very short supply of. Still there are ways to use time that would otherwise be of no value to invest in yourself. Here are a few tips that might help:

1.Use travel time to invest in yourself. By using your iPod or your MP3 player you can use your travel time to expand your knowledge.

2. Set your clock for a half hour earlier and use that time to read and learn.

3. After you stop working in the evening, use your computer to search for new information and ideas.

Resist the Urge To Stay In Your Comfort Zone

We all have a comfort zone, and all of us are very fond of our personal comfort zone. It can be very tempting to just stick with doing the things that we have always done and doing them in the same way we have always done them.

However, staying in your comfort zone and refusing to expand your mind and your horizons can cause you and your internet business to fail.

There is an old saying (probably made up by someone who was afraid of trying new things) that says, “If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.” Well, ‘it’ doesn’t have to be broken to be improved upon whatever ‘it’ is.

Candlelight wasn’t broken, but we are all glad that electricity was harnessed. Electric light is still light, but it is certainly a big improvement over candlelight.

New ideas come along every day in the world of internet business. Some of those ideas are even good ones even if they do reside outside of our own personal comfort zone.

In order to continue to invest in yourself, you must be willing to leave your own comfort zone. Just because what has worked is still working it doesn’t mean that there are not newer, better and more efficient ways of doing things.

Nobody is saying that new is always better. New is not always better but sometimes it is and the only way to tell which is which is by investigating new ideas yourself and then adapting the ones that can help you to your business.

Invest in yourself by increasing your knowledge and don’t be afraid of trying new things and new ways of doing things. These things really are the secrets of success and not just in the world of internet business but in life itself.

The Razor Edge Difference Between Work and Deals

Just about every internet marketer that I have ever known has worked at some kind of job other than internet marketing before they launched their internet marketing careers.

It is a funny thing about working at a job that pays you for the work that you do. You get into a ‘work-equals- money’ mindset. After all, when you work for others, work does, in fact, equal money.

But when you launch an internet marketing career the ‘work’ that used to make money for you now prevents you from making money.

It is true. The ‘work’ that you are doing that you once got paid to do, like answering the telephone, answering emails, filing papers, etc. is actually preventing you from making the deals that will put money in your pocket.

Yet we continue to seek work because we are programmed to think of work as the thing that makes money.

We get stuck in the “work equals money” mindset that is actually counter-productive to building a successful internet marketing business.

We focus our time and energy on finding work for ourselves rather than on focusing our time and energy on making the deals that will really make money for us.

It isn’t hard to see why we get into this ‘work-equals-money’ mindset. We have been living with that concept since we were kids.

Think about it. What was your first job? Did you cut grass for a neighbor? Didn’t you get money after you had done the work? Of course, you did. He wasn’t paying you to think…he was paying you to cut grass.

When you got older and got a job at the local burger joint, you got paid for cooking hamburgers and French Fries. You cooked the hamburgers and fries and then you got paid. Word did in fact equal money.

The owner of the hamburger joint wasn’t paying you to find a better way to cook hamburgers or paying you to look for a new market to sell hamburgers. He was only paying you for doing the work of cooking the hamburgers.

But now you are not getting paid for doing the ‘work’. The work isn’t what is making money for you. It is true that the work must still be done but you don’t have to look for it. It will find you. What you need to be looking for now are the deals that will make you money.

What Constitutes Work?

What is “work”? The “work” that makes any business work is just the day to day activities that must be accomplished for the business to function. Telephone calls must be answered.

Emails must be read and responded to. Files must be kept orderly. The list goes on and on but this is just “work”.

Nobody is going to pay you to answer the phone, read emails or keep files in order. That is simply ‘work’ that must be done. It isn’t making you any money and it most certainly is not what you should be focused upon.

Once an internet marketing business has gotten up and running, it is a very good investment to simply pay a virtual assistant to do the ‘work’ and set yourself free to make the deals that actually make you money and make your internet marketing business thrive.

You can’t do this right away, of course, but you can use as little of your time as possible on mundane tasks.

You can spend hours and hours and hours of your time working on your website….making it better…tweaking this and tweaking that. That is work that is not putting a single red cent into your bank account.

Hire a techie to do that ‘work’ for you while you are making deals that make more than enough to pay the techie. Until you can hire someone to do this work for you, get it fixed as best you can and move on the productive deal making.

How many hours are you spending each day writing and making posts to your blogs? Is this time making any money for you?

No, of course, it isn’t. It is just “work”. It is work that others could do just as well or work that you can find ways to make shorter like by using PLR materials rather than writing every word yourself.

Customer service is vital work that must be done. It must be done quickly and efficiently and above all competently. It might even be work that in the beginning at least that you must do yourself.

There are however companies and individuals out there in cyber space that are perfectly capable of handling this work for you and you don’t have to make it harder than it needs to be.

What Constitutes Making Deals?

Yes, it is absolutely true that the ‘work’ must be done, but the work that must be done should be done as quickly and as efficiently as possible and you shouldn’t concentrate your energy on finding and creating more work that isn’t going to making any money for you.

You need to be focusing your attention on making the deals that will make money.

Just as soon as you possibly can, you should begin to hire people to do the mundane tasks that must be accomplished and free up as much of your own time as possible for deal making.

So what exactly are the activities that constitute deal making? Briefly and concisely they are the activities that have the potential for putting money into your bank account. A few of these activities are:

1. Visiting forums and blogs that relate to your niche: Forums and blogs are where you find the real living, breathing people who are YOUR potential customers and until somebody drags out their credit card, puts in their information and actually buys products or services from you, you haven’t made a dime so you need to go where the people are and find out how to best serve their wants and needs.

2. Visit websites that are related to your website. This is where you will find your potential joint venture partners. Contact the webmasters and work on making mutually profitable deals.

3. Start your own newsletter or E-zine: This is one of the most potentially profitable deals that you can make for yourself. The longer your list grows, the more profits you can make.

4. Attend seminars in the brick and mortar world and build good solid business relationships with others in your field. Here again are potential joint venture partners that you need to take the time to cultivate.

5. Put together your own webinar or teleseminar: Find interesting speakers who would supply information of interest to your list. Webinars and teleseminars are both easy and inexpensive to do and are both money making deals that you can make.

Does this Mean We Should Ditch Work and Focus On Entirely Deals Only?

It would really be nice if we could just ditch the work-a-day-work and do nothing with our time other than make the deals that make us money! Now that would be what I would call a perfect world.

Unfortunately, the work-a-day-work must be done and until our ‘ship comes in’ we are probably going to be the ones who have to do that as well as make the deals that make us money.

As long as we are going to have to do both we can at least learn how to work smarter. We can learn how to get the same amount of ‘work’ accomplished in less time so that we can free up more time for making the deals that will make us money.

Some examples of working smarter are:

1. Write a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page for your website. and use your auto-responder to direct most questions to that site.

2. Subscribe to a Private Label Rights (PLR) membership website and use that material (with only a little rewrite) as your blog posts and your website content. You can even make whole new products that can be sold from this PLR material.

3. Make a schedule for yourself that allows only so much time for the tasks that must be completed that make you no money and allow more time in that schedule for the deal making tasks that will make you money.

4. Invest in automation software that is designed to take care of simple every day but time consuming tasks. There is always the ‘work’ that must be done each and every day but don’t let it become the object of your focus. Don’t look for work to be done. Work no longer equals money for you now that you are an internet marketer. Get the work done as quickly as you can and put your focus on the deal making activities that will add to your bottom line.

Take Action!

The success or failure of your internet business is up to you. If you succeed, the credit will all belong to you, and if you fail, you will own that as well. Your success or failure is in your own hands.

Success and failure are two sides of the same coin. The coin in question is your own Internet Entrepreneurship and you don’t want to flip that coin into the air and leave it to chance as to whether it lands on success or failure.

You want complete control over the fate of your Internet business and you do have that control.

Every decision will be yours to make.

If you make wise choices then you will claim victory and success will be yours.

If you make unwise choices, then your internet business will crash and burn, and your own hopes and dreams will go up in flames along with it.

Beating the Odds

You do realize, of course, that the odds for success are not in your favor. Every day thousands and thousands of internet business enterprises are launched. Of those internet businesses that will be launched today, 90% (ninety percent) will not be around in 120 days.

That is right! You have no better than a 10% chance of actually making a success out of your internet business, unless you can change them those are not very good odds. If it were a horse race, winning would be considered a long shot.

That is the down side but anytime there is a down side there is always an up side.

The upside in this case is that even though you have only a 10% chance at succeeding, you can greatly better your odds by simply following the guidelines that have already been offered.

You can increase your odds from 10% to 90% by simply applying a few very simple principles to the problem.

The reasons that so many new Internet entrepreneurs fail within the first 120 days can be narrowed down to four.

1. They do not have the right mindset.

2. They do not lay a solid foundation.

3 They do not have the key to unlock growth and expansion.

4. They do not plan for success

The Right Mindset for Success

Unfortunately, so many people think that they can quit their jobs, open an internet business, and just relax and enjoy life.

They expect instant success and instant wealth without having to invest anything (even time and effort) to affect that success.

They really believe that they can sleep until noon, work when and if they want to and just rack up sales and profit. This attitude probably accounts for at least half of all the failures of new internet businesses.

Making an internet business successful takes a lot of time and even more work. That old real-world job demanded that you be on the job for probably 40 hours each week.

Your net internet business will need about twice that many hours each week if it is to become successful. Very, very, very few people are willing to invest that much time and effort thus the 90% failure rate.

Of the few that are willing to put in enough time and effort most expect instant success.

They don’t even consider the fact that they will need to continue to meet their own personal expenses for many months before they see the first penny of profit from a new internet business even though those facts are readily available.

These are the ones who go out there looking for get-rich-quick schemes and end up becoming victims of internet scam artists.

The right mindset is this: You must expect to work hard. You must expect to work long and tedious hours. You will not be an over-night success. People are not going to line up to give you their money. You are going to have to earn it.

Laying a Sound Foundation

Sometimes people will start an internet business that has no business background at all. This is another reason for the high failure rate of new internet entrepreneurships.

If you do not have an education in business, then you would be incredibly wise indeed to speak with those who are well versed in business.

An internet business of any kind is a BUSINESS. It must be run like a business and it must be built upon sound business practices. The only ‘dumb’ questions are those that are never asked.

You need information and the best way there is to get the information that you need is to simply ask questions of those who have the answers.

There are courses available both out in the brick and mortar world as well as on the internet about how to set up and run a successful business.

You can’t abide by the rules if you don’t know what the rules are. Do your homework before you launch your business.

You need to lay a rock-solid foundation so that your new business doesn’t become one of the casualties that are caused by poor planning or even no planning. You need a business plan.

You need a business model, and it needs to be one that you can understand and follow. Jumping in and hoping for the best isn’t a plan. That will only ensure that your new internet business will not still be in existence four months from now.

Unlocking Growth and Expansion

Nothing in this world ever stays the same. The only absolute certainty is change. Internet business is not an exception to this rule. As a matter of fact, business on the internet changes faster than just about anything you can imagine.

Another reason that so many new internet businesses don’t survive for very long is that a new e-entrepreneur will start a business based upon one single idea and never grow or expand beyond that single idea.

These people have what I sometimes call ‘tunnel vision’. They don’t look around at the internet business landscape and make the necessary changes that keep them visible and a player in the marketplace.

Internet businesses themselves will naturally grow and expand if the owner or manager of the business grows and expands his knowledge and is willing to adapt to the inevitable changes that take place on a daily basis in Internet business.

It is simply good business to invest a minimum of 5% of your time and your income back into yourself. You ARE your business. I’ve heard the term ‘continuing education’ tossed about like it was a choice to be made.

Continuing education is not a choice if a business is to be successful. The 10% of new internet businesses that will still be around after the next 120 days will be owned or managed by people who are constantly learning new things and applying those new things to the internet businesses that they operate.

They attend real world seminars. They attend teleseminars and webinars. They read multiple newsletters every single day.

They learn, they grow, they adapt, they succeed. That is easy to say but it is much harder to accomplish. However, those who do accomplish it will still be in business when most others are not.

Planning Success

There is an old saying that I quote very often. “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail!” I say it often because it is the single most important fact of success in a nutshell.

A plan for an internet business is just exactly like a road map that would be used for making a road trip.

It is a detailed plan of how to get from point A (starting an internet business) to point B (having a successful internet business) in the shortest possible time and without taking the scenic route.

Most of the time those who begin new internet businesses have been working at jobs for which they were paid a salary. They are in the ‘work equals money’ mindset and they bring that mindset into their internet businesses.

They will even spend their time searching for more ‘work’ to do rather than searching for ways in which to make money. Unless the “work = money” mindset can be quickly changed to ‘sales = money’ mindset, the business will certainly fail and fail very quickly.

One of the most important items that can be listed in a business plan is to ‘find a mentor’. You can have all the details written down of exactly how you plan to succeed but if you can find a mentor that process can be cut in half.

Of course, it is very unlikely that you will find a mentor within the first 120 days of starting your new internet business but that item needs to always be in your mind as you make contacts and build business relationships.

Building an internet business is can be very exciting undertaking, but it is one that is fraught with obstacles. You can overcome the obstacles and succeed, but don’t expect it to be easy or quick.

Put in the time. Focus on making your internet business a success. What you put into something, is what you can expect to get out of it. And most importantly – BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!

“Dream about it. Make real plans. Take the necessary actions. Live the life of your dreams. It is possible. Believe in yourself!” Michael “MJ The Terrible” Johnson – Founder and Owner – Masters of Money, LLC.

About "MJ The Terrible"

Michael "MJ The Terrible" Johnson, founder of Masters of Money LLC, is a world-famous computer hacker, marketer, entrepreneur, and adventurer. You can say what you want about me but I'm the guy that does the jobs that have to get done. "Don't settle for less than everything you want. Know when to shut up and collect the money. It's better to get paid than be right. Money doesn't buy happiness, but it can afford you the time to find happiness. Without a challenge, you can't rise to anything. Pick your battles. Push your limits. Ask for more. Demand better. Eliminate should from your life by doing. Live a life without regrets, by trying everything that interests you in the least, and don't waste time, because time is the most valuable commodity in life." Michael "MJ The Terrible" Johnson - Founder & Owner - Masters of Money, LLC.
