Welcome back to another weekly edition of Part Time Tips for your internet business. This week I want to talk briefly about what you need to be successful in your part time internet marketing business. Don’t panic, I’m not going to list a bunch of stuff for you to buy, this more about you and your mindset when it comes to working your business. We’ll keep things really simple 😉
The first thing you need to do is get your head wrapped around your plan. As we say in Texas, you’ve got “get your head right with ball.” You’ve got to really have the proper mindset to be successful in internet business in general, but it’s really true for part time internet business.
There are three fundamental areas that I think are the highest leverage:
You’ve got to own your plan. By that I mean you’ve got to have focus. You’ve got to know exactly what you’re doing and you’ve got to be executing to that plan precisely. You don’t have a lot of room to be smoking and joking around. You’ve got to know exactly what you’re doing and be doing it every day.
You really need to leverage tools and resources. You can’t afford to be inefficient, so you’ve really got to get out there and leverage the things that are available that have been made available by the people who’ve come before you. This is not just about investing in software or hiring people. It’s more about learning from a mentor, investing in yourself and and following their example (more on this in the coming weeks).
Finally, and maybe more importantly, you’ve got to foster the right habits. You’ve got to develop habits that are particularly effective for part time internet entrepreneurs. I’m going to share those with you throughout our weekly tips sessions here on the blog.
Now, as far as getting your head right as a part time internet entrepreneur, the very first thing you’ve got to know is why in the world you are trying to start this business. In fact, why do you want to start a business at all, let alone an internet business? Think about that for awhile and we’ll be back next week to discuss this a little further.
Understand why you are doing what you are doing will help you stay focused and motivated in difficult situations.
See you next week.
