Much is said and has been said about the Internet lifestyle, so it is very common to find thousands of new entrepreneurs going around in circles in search of the long-awaited “financial freedom”, which we have been told that is built while we sleep, as a famous slogan that many entrepreneurs know says, “earn money while you sleep”, or even the misunderstood work of “The Four Hour Workweek” written by Timothy Ferriss.
However, a few days after starting our journey as online entrepreneurs we realize that with four hours a week we do nothing or that sleeping and having a profitable business are two very different things.
I want to share with you what I consider according to my experience on the web, to live the Internet lifestyle, which is perfectly achievable, but before achieving it we have a long way, but not to worry too much, this way is necessary as we need a complete change of mentality, otherwise we will never be able to sustain a new lifestyle, always keep in mind that our life, our way of thinking has brought us to the place where we are today and if we want to achieve a new way of living the change more important has to be done in our mentality irremediably.
Internet Lifestyle- What do I consider important to be on the right track?
As I said before, a new lifestyle can be perfectly achieved, every day we work for it, but here the important thing is the way in which we should approach this issue, what we really need or what we need to focus on to achieve what we want.
1- Define what we really want, DEFINE OUR WHY-
A new lifestyle needs a why, this because it will motivate us day after day to continue working on our dream regardless of the results we are apparently achieving.
I have my own experience that at the beginning the progress seems imperceptible or hardly noticeable, however we are just working on the basis that will sustain our entire structure as online entrepreneurs, and this takes time, NO SHORTCUTS, NO WAY TO ACCELERATE IT You will find many courses online that will invite you to achieve thousands of dollars in weeks, a few months, this is a fallacy, it is not real.
The real results of a real online business take time, its maturation, they need a firm base on which to grow and this base will take time to be built, time in which we will need to work on acquiring knowledge, training and a new mentality. focused on the success not only of our business, but of our entire life.
There is a phrase that says that the most important thing that happens in the life of an entrepreneur is not that it generates thousands of dollars, the most important thing is what we have to become in order to achieve the results we want.
two- PRIORITIZE TAKING ACTION ALWAYS-
The only way to get results is with action, we can spend thousands of hours gathering information, reading thousands of blogs on the subject, but until we start with the actions that will make your business real, you will not be advancing a single step.
Of course we need theory, it is fundamental, but the way to learn is to study and apply what we have studied, then train ourselves again and apply what we have learned, never study, study and study.
The reality is that many times this is a trap since human beings are very perfectionists, and they always believe that they lack something to start with, that they are not ready yet, and guess what? YOU WILL NEVER BE READY, YOU WILL ALWAYS MISS SOMETHING, start today with what you have in hand and tomorrow when you need new things, new knowledge, have the certainty or security that you will be ready to find or acquire it.
3- CHOOSE THE MEANS TO ACHIEVE IT-
Online there are thousands of ways to generate income, sell products, be an affiliate, be part of an MLM or multilevel opportunity, set up an online store, become a web consultant, create memberships with the knowledge you have, work promoting CPA offers, generate income by learning to invest in the stock market, etc, etc.
According to your qualities, your tastes, your passions, you need to choose where to start, my best advice is to choose only one way to generate income, and once you master this you can launch yourself by another methodology, but avoid starting in many directions at once, more at the beginning, since you will finish without completing neither one nor the other.
4- ORGANIZATION AND TRAINING-
Organization is the basis of success, in all its aspects, financially, organizing your time, your actions, your planning, etc.
One of the biggest drawbacks that we find when we start is that we do not have information or teaching about the organization of our business, so it is our responsibility to learn how to do it, so this is a subject that invariably needs to be as part of our online training.
Training, which we can say has not already been said, is the basis of success, without knowing we cannot do anything new, each new action, each new achievement has behind the knowledge that will lead you to achieve those achievements.
If we do not prioritize training, we will soon be stuck with our business, since the only way to move forward is by training ourselves, the best entrepreneurs, the most successful ones we know, are always in constant change, progress, they are constantly learning new things, new strategies, new ways to achieve conversions, to get traffic, etc.
5- INVESTMENT-
As a last point that I want to share with you, investment, nothing in life is free, it exists on the web, even more so in entrepreneurs who start an idea that makes them think that success is free, that they need a minimum effort and they will manage to get there. , the reality is that success is a path of many attempts, a path of constantly looking for the way to make it work and when we find it we will surely need to start over since things change very quickly online.
Get used to it, everything is learning, failed attempts are just a way of learning that these actions are not productive or will not give us the result we are looking for, it is at this moment when we must start again and it is here that it will help you to remember the point number 1, YOUR WHY, if your because is strong enough to make you keep fighting for what you want, have no doubt that you will achieve success, in fact, trying is already transforming you into a successful person.
These points are not all we need, but they can give us a guide, a north, for what we recognize as valuable in our lives, there is no doubt that becoming entrepreneurs is a radical change in our lives, it transforms not only our economy, but our way of thinking and living, which is the most important thing we can take with us.
I hope this information is useful to you, the Internet lifestyle is one of the ideals most worthy of being followed by a human being, I am convinced of it, we were born with the potential to be magnificent, achieve excellence, in our hands is the develop them completely or that they continue to sleep inside us.
A cordial greeting and the best of successes.
