Making money
is not the only goal of becoming an internet millionaire – it’s about freedom.
Many people across the world are gifted with experiencing this freedom
everyday. How can you become one of
these people? What kind of life, and business, do you want to run? Would you
like to be able to check your email from your private plane? These are the
kinds of goals many people have in mind when they begin to forge ahead with
their business ideas. But the truth is that the rich and the successful – the
millionaires off and online – have about nine characteristics in common, not
that different from a lot of people we all know. Most of them exhibit some or
all of these. The truth is that we all have the potential for greatness – if we
can train ourselves to keep this in mind as we go about our business day.
1. They don’t blame: Successful businesspeople don't blame others.
Instead of making excuses for bad outcomes, or reassigning responsibility to
others, they take time to learn from their own mistakes.
2. They are decisive:
Millionaire-types have a vision. They take quick, decisive action aligned with
that vision. They’re action oriented, always pushing forward toward their
goals.
3. They trust their intuition: If
something seems like it’s not quite right, they trust that instinct. If an
opportunity excites them and sounds like a great idea, they go for it.
4. They are singly focused on their CORE business: Successful entrepreneurs may be inspired by
ideas, but they always remain true to their vision. They focus on opportunities
that are aligned with their business’s purpose. If you sell retail products on
eBay, don’t try real estate investing the next day. They don’t lose focus. They
may sell their products on eBay, write articles, focus on joint ventures, and
go to marketing seminars, but all of their efforts, and FOCUS, help them move
toward their main goals.
5. They are marketing focused:
Millionaires, including such giants as Bill Gates, understand the importance of
building on their core business. They hire people with specialties in
marketing. They work hard at building their email lists, gaining exposure, and
are constantly looking for ways to reaching a wider audience. If you want to build a decent income, you
sell products and services. If you want
to be insanely rich, then you create and control markets. The key to your
business, and creating phenomenal success, is marketing.
6. They understand the importance of continuing education:
Successful business people are always learning and drawing from other people’s
experiences. They listen to how other people have achieved their success,
especially if these people have expertise in another industry. They are
constantly learning about new approaches and strategies, and thinking about how
they can apply it to their own business.
7. They are not afraid of making mistakes:
Any big company online will tell you that they’ve had their share of downfalls,
even such giants as eBay or Craig’s List. Mistakes are building blocks for
success – by making mistakes, you learn what works, and what doesn’t. You don't
have to get it right, you just have to get it going. We all make mistakes, and
one of the most powerful things you can do is glean feedback from them.
Feedback is a great way to learn from your customers and colleagues. You need
to look at feedback and take it with a grain of salt - it helps you learn and
grow. See your mistakes as learning lessons
8. They model their business for success:
Internet millionaires model other people, strategies, and systems. They
constantly look for models of success in everyday life and think about how to
incorporate these lessons into their own strategy. They even look at their
competition for answers. Whatever niche you're in, subscribe to some industry
newsletters, buy their products, and learn HOW they create success.
9. They build a team to rely on: No matter
what stage you are in with your business, you’ve got to realize that you simply
cannot do it all. You can’t be an expert in everything. You want to create a great team of people.
How can you find them? Go to seminars and workshops. Hone your networking
skills. You’ll often find that like-minded people that are out there constantly
learning and attending, seminars and workshops. Getting rich is a team
sport. You have to have people that are
cheering you on, encouraging your success.
These are
some inherent characteristics of business millionaires. Can you apply them to
your business and your life, too? Of course you can. If you can keep these
principles in mind, you’ve got the millionaire mindset. No, you aren’t going to
get there overnight. Making a million dollars takes some time. You can’t make a
million dollars if you haven’t made your first hundred. So focus on the first
hundred, first thousand, and first hundred thousand. Thinking this way goes a
long way toward your goals – finding success, gaining riches, and living the
kind of life you want to live.
