Advice for new Solopreneurs Just Starting Out
There’s so much to learn, so much to do.
Making decisions is probably the hardest part.
In my 20+ years of consulting I've learned some key guiding principles that have helped me stay on the right path and earn more money over time.
I hope these tips to help guide you on the right path in these early days as you start and grow your internet business.
ALL IN
If you serious about building an online business and are truly are dedicated to making a move or making a change, burn the boats!
This means go ALL IN!
Niche down
You can’t be everything to everyone.
Choose your core market and determine who your dream customer is and focus all your efforts into serving them and solving their problems.
When you focus, you become an expert.
Find the 1 THING that you are amazing at
What is your passion or your superpower?
What can you talk about for hours. Focus on becoming the authority on that 1 thing.
Money Mindset
If you think of money as scarce you will have a hard time asking for money.
You need to have a positive relationship with money and know that it is abundant, not scarce.
Give freely, invest in yourself and take risks!
Give and you will get it back 10X.
Protect your time
Time is your greatest resource.
Don’t waste it.
Double down on your skills and then outsource to experts to create time for yourself.
WHO not HOW
Don’t worry so much about how to do things.
Instead, worry about WHO you need to find in order to accomplish those things rather than you learning HOW to do everything.
No one is good at everything. Build a team with the skills you need.
Done beats perfect
Move quickly and take massive action.
Create, publish & repeat.
Get your work out into the world so people can see and interact with it so you can learn and iterate on it.
Stop lone wolfing it
You are better with a team, they can help give you support and save you a ton of time.
Remember, time is more scarce than money…
Stop trying to learn everything yourself.
Collapse time by finding a mentor and model success.
Smile and have fun
If you are doing what you love for your dream customers, it shouldn’t feel like work.
Hope you found these helpful as you start and grow your internet business.
Have a great weekend!
