Many people working 9-5 jobs today would like to earn more money and freedom by starting their own online business, selling a service or digital product. However the same 3 obstacles block people from getting there. No vision: if you don’t see where you want to go, you’ll never get there. Worse, without a clear vision you might end up even farther from where you want to be. If clarifying vision is difficult, start with an anti-vision: What you definitely don’t want. Sometimes its easier to now what we don’t want than what we do want. Take the time to get very clear on what you want. Not what you think others would think is cool. And get very specific: this amount of money, this house, this daily lifestyle. It should be as unique as you are. No offer: no clue what to sell. This is the hardest part. Because this is what you’ll have to pitch and talk about. And its based on problems. Find people’s problems. And talk to that problem. Thats how you get attention once you have attention you can pitch your solution. I think this part is difficult because its the creation of value. And we feel like we have to create value from nothing. We have to charge money for this. But the value is already created. The value resides in the problem your customer has. And the pain and frustration that problem causes them. Resolving that problem for them is valuable. Keep reading. No systems: Without systems, you don't have a business. Building a business is just a set of tasks you repeat daily. -Making marketing posts. -Having sales calls. -Managing cash flow. Little by little those efforts compound. Without a system, your efforts will not be organized. They will be scattered and inconsistent. And you wont see any progress. Establishing a system, any system will protect you energy. Find a system that works for you. One of the best ways to systematize is to set aside specific time blocks to focus on specific tasks. Every morning from 6am-7am I write. After a week I have 10 pages of ideas. Which allows me to grab ideas and schedule them for posting. So I can grow an audience. To sell to. They got to work for you. Thats it for today. Phil P.S.
