The entrepreneurial mindset Correctly, it is hardly with us when we begin our online journey, moreover, it is most likely that our mentality will transform step by step and as we move forward with the idea of our Internet entrepreneurship.
We have all heard about the studies, the statistics, that tell us about the high percentage of entrepreneurs who start their online ventures but leave even before the first year, the causes of this can be multiple, but without looking for guilty or responsible for what this happens, the most important cause of this event occurring is the MENTALITY.
Beginning entrepreneurs still lack the entrepreneurial mindset they need to reach the goal they set for themselves, this is the same as saying that they are people who often start with the wrong ideas, with expectations that are not real or simply guided by systems or information that do not reflect reality.
In this article I want to talk to you about the entrepreneurial mentality you need to start, I will try to summarize in just 9 steps what you have to know before starting, after reading this summary I can assure you that you will have a more exact idea of where you want to start creating your new path, surely to achieve the changes you are looking for in your life.
9 tips that will help you create your entrepreneurial mindset correctly.
On this topic there are many articles on the web, but here I will talk to you according to my experience, so these tips will cover the two important aspects of an online business, this is THE MENTALITY AND THE TOOLS OR RESOURCES. One cannot be successful without the other party, so on your way you will need to develop your knowledge of both parties.
1.- Add value-
We do not start a business just for personal satisfaction, to generate great wealth without producing changes in our environment, therefore in other people. This point is vital, every successful business focuses on adding value to other people, the more value you contribute, the more you help, the more valuable you will be for your potential clients, in this there are no discrepancies.
If you want to start with a correct entrepreneurial mentality that is useful both to you and to other people, this has to become your first law, “add value, improve the world you are in and leave it much better when you have to leave.”
2.- There are no instant earnings: EVERYTHING TAKES ITS DUE TIME
One of the biggest “mistakes” that new entrepreneurs usually start with is that they are motivated by the idea that “they will have quick profits” in the first few months at most, when the reality is that everything takes a learning curve, everything life takes its due time, so first it is necessary to soak up the knowledge and skills that make profit a result, not an end in itself.
Every business needs prior planning, the construction of its foundations, of its base, a time in which it is exposed to its target audience (the creation of Personal Branding) so that they know how you can help them, and all this takes its time, it is very difficult to happen in a few days or a month.
It is true that according to the different business models, faster profits can be generated in one model than in another, but in the same way you need knowledge, which will also occupy time of your life.
3.- Ask yourself: What do you want to achieve?
In appearance it is a simple question, but I can assure you that few people know exactly what they want, many will say that they want to be owners of their own businesses, but they do not know very well what business, they will tell you that they want to earn a lot of money, but they do not know With exactly how much money can already be within the phrase “a lot of money”, the reality is that our desires are not specific and only until we manage to define exactly what we want for our lives, we will not be able to achieve it.
Therefore, in my opinion, the first thing is to define what we want, if we want to create an online business we must look for the reason, the real reasons, always keep in mind that making money is not a valid reason to do things. , money is the direct cause of the things or actions you do.
4.- What do you have to offer? Your value proposition
One thing is what you want, and another very different thing is what you have to offer the world, this is the basis of your business, which will define your mission and you will carry out with the services or products of your business.
For example, you may want to create a new source of income, create a business in which you expose your skills or knowledge on a particular topic, have your business to decide on your time and not be depending on a boss who is over you permanently.
This does not mean that if you currently do not know anything or do not have specific knowledge you cannot create an online business, since if you like or are passionate about working with animals, for example, you can perfectly create a business around this passion. yours, and at the same time inform you or train you in everything related to this topic. In the same way, if you are passionate about drawings, photography, outdoor activities, helping people lose weight, play instruments, teach about your experiences and that they can help other people, etc.
Undoubtedly this is a whole process, something that may not be very clear at the beginning, but with your progress you will come to refine your proposal, what you can do for other people and how you can do it.
5.- Know who your ideal client is
The next step to define what you can do for people is to focus on them and try to know what they are looking for, what they want, how they want it, what their doubts are, their problems, what they want to solve, what keeps them from sleeping or keeps them in gloom; in a word what we call knowing your “ideal client or avatar”.
This avatar will be your north, he is the one to whom you will speak in all your promotions or different content and your products or services will be destined to satisfy his needs.
6.- Define your business model
You already know what you want to do, for whom you want to do it or for what people exactly your products or services are, now you need to define how you will provide your help, how you will present yourself to them; for this you need to define a business model.
There are different business models, for example if you want to help them by working together with them in personalized assignments, your business model will be that of consultancies, if you create products or even promote other people’s products to help them with their problems, then you can use the Affiliate business model, even if you want to create a group of several people and give them knowledge or access to different products, you can work with the membership business models.
Working with a defined business model will allow you to know each of the parts of your business, for example how it works, what steps you need to take to make it effective, the resources and tools you will need, the money you need to run it, how you will present your product, etc.
7.- The means or tools to create your online presence
At the beginning you will also need to have in your entrepreneurial mentality the idea that you need certain resources and tools to create your Personal Brand or your presence on the web.
Some of these tools are for example a blog, hosting, domain names, tools for capture pages, video, automate processes, etc, etc.
Knowing this information before launching is being forewarned and being able to arrange or schedule the time to access them.
After reading these lines, surely you may think that there are many things, the reality is that entrepreneurship is not easy, but it is not impossible, thousands of entrepreneurs have created their businesses online and are adding value to the world, helping other people to improve your quality of life and your online experience.
8- Training
Learning is the basis of the success of any business, updating, always being at the forefront is synonymous with always being in the minds of your potential clients.
When starting out, it is also important that you have the entrepreneurial mentality to always seek to improve and learn the techniques and skills that allow you to grow and reach a greater number of people with your services or products. Online information is constant and it is updated permanently, what worked a few months ago, today it is obsolete and in terms of business, changes occur much more quickly.
9- Planning and approach
Possibly what takes the longest to join entrepreneurs is the habit of working following a precise action plan and achieving enough consistency to maintain focus on this path.
We all know that online stimuli are multiple, so if we do not establish in advance what we need to do for our business, we will easily disperse and waste our hours in actions that will not be productive for the advancement of our business.
I hope that these 9 tips are useful for you, try to summarize and have in mind some of the things that you will need to know to achieve an entrepreneurial mentality that drives you to success and that if you start on this path, do not abandon it at the first inconvenience. .
