5 True Business Concepts for Part-Time Internet Entrepreneurs



Just about everyone who comes online to make some extra money starts at it on a part-time basis.

There's is nothing wrong with that.

There are some things that you should get established in your mind first, so you won't feel the urge to go out there and fail.
We don't want that.


Here are 5 things to remember as you work your internet business part-time:


1.  It's more simple than you think, but it isn't always easy
Being an Entrepreneur is, at the core, as simple as running a business that serves to solve problems
or provide items that fill a want or a need.
However, the total processes of that simple philosophy is not as easy as  the root simplistics.
It takes commitment, ethics, smart decision-making,  and dedication---a lot of it--to be on and stay
on top of the heap.  Easy?  Not so much.  Simple, yes indeed.
It could be worse--it could be difficult on both ends.
Thankfully, the hard part is getting the work processes established and flowing correctly.
Do that, and it's all downhill toward success. That's when it gets easy.

2. You will become an overnight success---after months of work
The strange thing about becoming a successful Entrepreneur is that success lies just on the other
side of the point in time at which you're about to throw in the towel and give the Hell up.
When you do become successful, it's magical, wondrous, and enchanting.
It will seem like it just happened, and for a while you will not remember those months of hard work
it took to get here.
That's part of the awesome-ness of being an Entrepreneur.
When you make it, the past isn't so bad as you remember it.  Everything is peachy.

3.  Role models are not necessary---if you plan on being a real entrepreneur
As a society, we have been trained to always be in awe of some hero or mystical super person.
When we take on a role model the same ideology gets applied.
Instead of acknowledging how the person became so famous or successful--living through trials and
tribulations, obstacles overcome, etc.--we just begin to revere the person, not the mission.
All you need to know from a role model is:
  • how they think,
  • how they do things, 
  • what their mindset incorporates, 
  • how they perpetuate success.
Know those things, and the "super"person who shared that with you becomes a person just like you---
they just succeeded doing what you are just now attemtping to do.
So, no role models for you if you are committed to being an True Entrepreneur.
You just need the tactics, basics, and experience.  You don't need to worship a person who is successful for you to get success.
If worshipping someone would make you successful, the only work you would ever have to do would be
groveling.  Entrepreneur never grovel...ever.

4.  This is not about selling stuff---it's about providing a service to others
Most people have an aversion to selling...and even bigger aversion to salespeople.
We all love to buy things but we hate to be "sold" things.
So, when you come online to make money, you know that you have to "sell" something in order to be paid.
However, if you think of it in a different light---think of serving someone, instead of selling someone something, you will get over the mental and psychological obstacle about "selling". 
Remember, you are not selling anything, you are offering a solution to a problem, or an item needed
or wanted....the customer is the one who makes the decision to take, or not take your offer.
It's really just that simple. 

5. Every day you don't do something in your business---is one day further away from "making it"
Procrastination is the worst obstacle any entrepreneur faces.
The reason it is worse is that procrastination is the destroyer of time-value.
If you don't work today and instead decide to watch TV, the arrival of your paycheck just got put off
another day of two in the future. 
So, every day that you have set aside for working your business---then do something that makes some
sort of movement in your business.  Don't do it, and the day the money arrives moves further down the calendar.

Those are just some of the things no one tells new internet or home-based marketers.
It's important that you know and understand them as you go forward into working your business.
Conquer these 5 points, and success will have no other recourse than to come find you.
