Soul-Searching


Developing a successful Internet business is the ultimate
goal of the Internet entrepreneur. However statistics show
that most Internet businesses never make any real money.

Making money on the Internet isn‘t easy -- it takes a great
deal of time and effort and requires a total commitment. You
must be completely passionate about your business and have a
sincere desire to succeed. Anything less will be a complete
waste of your time and will most likely result in failure.

You must also realize that success isn‘t going to happen
overnight. There will be many obstacles along the way and a
great deal to be learned. However anything worth having is
worth working towards and won‘t come easy. There will be
long days and sleepless nights. However if everything falls
into place and you plan each step very carefully the end will
justify the means.

The largest obstacle you will ever encounter is fear -- fear
of the unknown -- fear of change -- fear of failing. Fear is
the root of failure and prevents dreamers from living their
true passion. They fail to try.

Above all else you must take the first step to overcome
your fears. With each step you take you will become a
little closer to achieving your dreams. As long as you keep
trying you‘ll never fail.

There are many common characteristics shared by successful
Internet entrepreneurs. Below are some of the most
important:

Set Your Goals

Set your goals and write them down on a piece of paper. Set
short-term reachable goals and long-term higher goals.
However don‘t set them too high as this will cause you to
become discouraged if you don‘t achieve them.

Work consistently towards accomplishing your goals each day
each week and each month until you reach your short-term
goals. When you have attained your short-term goals set
them a little higher each time. Ultimately you will achieve
your long-term goals.

Self-Disciplined

Get up early each day just as if you were working outside
your home. You have to take your business very seriously and
be completely self-disciplined.

Self-Motivated

Set up a daily schedule and stick to it. Your own personal
drive will have a great impact on your success. You must
have the ability to work independently and stay on task.
