Entrepreneurship is a roller coaster ride.
A lot of people get disillusioned by fairytale entrepreneurial success stories. They assume that if they follow the get-rich-quick schemes for making money online, they will become rich overnight. Yes, some people get lucky and achieve success fast, but for the majority of people, entrepreneurship can feel like a grind, one that takes years of blood, sweat, and tears.
Eric Worre said it best, “Most people think that they deserve success as some sort of right, but here’s the truth. Success is something that you earn through effort.”
If you aren't prepared for the ride or aren't willing to do what is necessary to become successful, you'll end up ditching the ride halfway through. Get real and ask yourself, “How bad do you want success?” If you want it more than anything in this world, keep reading.
Here is my best advice for becoming a successful online entrepreneur.
1. Take Massive Action
A lot of people have the desire to learn and grow, but they aren't committed to taking action with the knowledge that they consume. In short, they become passive learners. Don't get me wrong… knowledge is powerful, but it means nothing if you don't do something with it.
In many cases, learning is a way to avoid taking action on the goals and interests that we say are important to us. Have you ever caught yourself doing this? This is the behavior of a dabbler and something that you want to be aware of and steer clear of at all costs.
2. Surround Yourself With Successful People
You will not improve yourself if you aren't willing to change your environment in a way that supports your growth. Your environment influences how you think and act. If you aspire to grow and become a successful entrepreneur, you have to surround yourself with people who demonstrate the qualities that you desire to emulate.
As Jim Rohn famously said, “You’re the average of the five people you spend time with.” When choosing the right people, look for values matches and gravitas. “Values match” means finding people who share similar values with yours. “Gravitas” refers to people who have greater skills in an area that you want to grow and improve.
If your environment contains negative people, you will feel energetically drained and have a difficult time experiencing any progress. You'll hold yourself back. That's the last thing you want. Now is the time to get real with yourself – do the people in your life support and uplift you to become more and achieve greatness? If not, it's time to find a new and empowering tribe of people who are going in the same direction as you. Sometimes the truth hurts, but the truth will also set you free.
3. Trust The Process
The reason why a lot of businesses fail is that entrepreneurs give up too quickly. Those that make it and go onto experience massive success embrace failure and use it as a tool to grow and become more. They trust the process and are willing to delay short-term gratification because they have an unwavering belief in their vision.
If they can't find a way, they make a way. Does this describe you? If not, it's time to rethink how bad you want success. In the words of Arthur Ashe, “Success is a journey, not a final destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.” What matters most is not where you end up, but who you become along the way.
4. Invest In Your Personal Growth
A major reason why my fiancée Tatiana and I have achieved so much success is that we are constantly investing in our personal growth and development. We do this through a variety of different mediums, like reading self-help books, hiring coaches and mentors, buying courses, and attending seminars.
Learning from people who are more successful than we are has been key to leveraging our online business success. Don't be afraid to invest in yourself. It is the most important investment you will make in life. If you have the desire to build an eCommerce business, I highly recommend that you follow Tatiana's YouTube channel and her Instagram page.
She has built a 7-figure business selling on Amazon & Shopify. If you're serious about becoming an online entrepreneur and putting in the hard work, her content will set you up to win.
This is my best advice for becoming an online entrepreneur.
