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.

4 sure-fire killers of home-based and Internet business Success

Home-based and Internet business owners have a few major concerns that often aren't even noticed---"killers" lying in wait to spring on them at the worst possible time.

Here are 4 sure-fire "killers" of many internet and home-based businesses:




1. Marketing in only a few avenues/marketing too broadly
This is, or could be, the biggest killer for a new home-based or internet business.
New Internet and home-based business owners often do not employ enough avenues in their marketing efforts. Marketing is about getting the largest number of "eyeballs" on your site or web pages consistently.
To do that, it does take several avenues.
Even if you can employ only one new additional avenue per week, the results will positively impact your business.
On the other hand, that marketing cannot be too broad.

Who is exactly the person you are targeting to see your site?
What are they like?
What is it exactly that would solve a problem they have?

Instead of marketing to everybody out there with internet access,
define who exactly needs you, then marketing to them specifically.


2. Failure to not try to learn one new idea, concept, strategy every day or so
You'll never learn all the things you need to know about this Internet Universe.
Why?
The Internet changes and evolves and darn near the speed of sound, or even faster,it seems.
If you want to do this right and make money online, then get ready---you will always be in a state of learning something new.
There is always something new coming up, new opportunities, new trends in everything imaginable, new needs and problems in the Universe of prospects, and new ways to market more effectively.

3. Failure to always be in the "flow".
What is "flow" in the sense of internet or home-based business?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

"Flow is the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing by a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity".

This idea of "flow" is by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, and that psychology concept has been widely referenced across a variety of fields of business, online and offline.[1]

According to Csíkszentmihályi, flow is completely focused motivation.
It is a single-minded "getting-in-all-the-way" and represents perhaps the ultimate in developing and utilizing the emotions as you learn, then performs business functions.
In "flow" the emotions are not just contained and channeled, but made dynamic, valid, energized, and lined up with all the things that go with the business enterprise.

"Flow" does not allow negativity or anxiety to "live" with it as a companion, or neighbor.
A great way to know if "flow" is in your business is to see if there is joy in working, excitement of new things, elation over the smallest improvements, and so on.

So, make sure you have "flow".

4. Procrastination: the "I'll get to it in a little while" syndrome.
I've done it.
You probably do it too.
But it is not wise to allow this mindset to have any place in your business.
Business is all about action.
Einstein said "nothing happens until something moves".
That statement is accurate in particle physics and is most assuredly right about running a business.
You must keep it moving.
Procrastinate on any one thing, and your business won't run at the speed you need it.
Believe me, you do not want anything to slow down.

Watch for signs of these "killers" in your business.
Don't let them near you.
Run that business of yours like there's no other option.
Take those curves at high speed.
It won't kill you.
