It's Thursday again and that means Part Time Tips! This week we're going to look at your motivation and what drives you to make your internet business a success (whether it's part time, full time, or some time in between!)
You really need to understand what your motivation is and what it is that you want to accomplish with your business. What do you want to have when everything is all said and done?
Believe me, there are going to be times when running a part time internet business is going to be difficult. For example, your business is going to compete with other things that may or not be going well in your life. So, you’re going to need to make choices about whether or not to work on your business — every day.
If you don’t know why you’re doing it, you won’t be successful.
The other thing that you need to know when you’re talking about why you’re building your internet business is what kinds of business situations do you want to avoid? What are you trying to stay away from? What kind of personal situations are you trying to get out of by running your internet business?
Do you hate working with people? Do you hate working alone. Do you hate being tied to a city. Do you want to work in your house? Do you need to get out of the house? You get the idea. What are you goals for your BUSINESS LIFESTYLE?
The question that I often ask people (and I completely stole this from my friend Jennifer “Pot Pie Girl” over at PotPieGirl.com) is this:
Are you willing to do what other people won’t do for a little while so that you can do what they CAN'T DO for a lifetime?
The thing that they “won’t do” usually means “work hard.” Are you willing to do that for awhile so that you can do what other people can’t do for a lifetime? Usually that means a lifetime of retirement on passive income, a lifetime of living the internet lifestyle, whatever it means to you.
Are you willing to do that? You need to know the answer to those questions. We'll be back again next week to dive a little deeper!
This has been another post in our Part-Time Internet Business Series at MasonWorld.com, where we build successful internet businesses one night at a time.
