4 Mindset changes you need to Succeed Online
Power is power
Are you a fan of the seasonal movie – Game of Thrones? I so love that movie! There is a clip from the movie that I have included in this article. I urge you to watch it below before we move on.

I hope you got the message? The video demonstrates the importance of applying knowledge as opposed to just acquiring knowledge. I can’t stress this enough. And I’m sure {…} now agrees with me after what he went through right there and later on in the movie! I believe that If he had strategized and seized power (my argument is that he could have successfully seized and retained it), he wooldnt have ended the way he did. Well, maybe that is an argument for another day.
Okay, let get back to today’s post. If you have gathered so much information about earning online all these past months or years, then you have already acquired immense potential powers and I’m so happy for you.
You disciplined yourself and succeeded in acquiring the information and that is really great of you (shakes hand). You have all the shortcuts and are, therefore, several steps ahead of everybody else in your race. You now need to take action and set aside all your fears.
If you’ve read the stories of some of the most successful online business owners, you’d realize they knew next to nothing about what they were doing. They just took the plunge.
Now, I don’t encourage that without the knowledge. But that mentality – along with consistency – is precisely the reason why they have all the real power and wealth they have today.
Let the Scales in your eyes fall off
My rule number one (online business belief) is this: The Online world and Offline world refer to the same world!
The day scales figuratively fell off of my eyes was when it dawned on me that the online world is the same as the offline world because you are dealing with the same people and not just usernames and numbers – most people get carried away and forget that crucial fact.
This rule thought me two things
Treat your audience humanely and they will respond favorably towards all your offerings.
If I were learning a new and difficult online concept or business and I remembered this rule, then it would no longer be too difficult to understand if I could relate it to the offline world.
I began to see the internet simply as an important platform to connect people, businesses, places, things and ideas like never before…and not some topic in Quantum Physics!
For instance, let’s say you sell goods in your local general market. You therefore know how to convince people to buy offline. Tweak and apply those same skillset online. Same tone, same tricks, same everything and you will make sales and be a superstar.
You need a Plan
When you start an online or offline business, you soon get confronted with the fact that there all so many things to do. And in a certain order too. If you choose to operate randomly, you will skip several crucial steps. Also, you will be making too many mistakes.
To remedy these mistakes, you could spend more money, spend more time, exhaust your motivation reserve and most likely throw in the towel at the end of all the stress...and be back at square ZERO (or worse) with nothing but the lessons you learnt.
All you need is a plan. The best plans are not complicated. They don’t have to be! They help you keep track of progress. They help you clear the path in the confusing jungle of steps to take. When you get lost, you know exactly where you are, how to find yourself and keep rolling. And if you stick to the plan, you are most likely to succeed.
A great plan could take you as little as 30 minutes to draft. Just remember not to make it too tasking so you don’t get overwhelmed into inaction.
Will to Succeed
Your will – that internal energy reserve that keeps you tough and going when things get rough – gets exhausted with time.
This had been my problem for years. Whenever I acquired a project, I usually didn’t find the morale to see it through to completion. I got scared. It was uncharted territory for me.
But I noticed that whenever I began the project, I covered a lot of unexpected grounds and would end up falling in love with the finished work.
Starting is the key. Make it a habit and you probably would have solved roughly 90% of all your problems online. That is my imaginary estimate, by the way.
Let us take a look at this analogy:
***
In a Chinese movie you are now watching, two armies are about to clash! What do you see?
You notice that no one wants to die, but the battle has to be fought because all attempts at peaceful resolutions failed miserably. So without wasting much time, they just charge at each other with WAR CRIES...
The charging armies have presently collided. The air is field with dust, the sound of steel… and of course other awful sounds and sights as well. They are presently in battle. Most of their fears are gone and they have no choice other than to try staying alive and seeing that battle through to the usually unpredictable end.
***
Now the good thing is that with online businesses you obviously wouldn’t be risking your life… I hope you are not risking your life sha?
If you can take it almost as seriously and charge into battle with your war cry, you will become practically stoppable. And not even ‘our people in the village’ will be able to! I guarantee that… So just start now!
Online Businesses you can do
All the businesses that I’m about to write on are profitable when done right. Don’t make the mistake most people tend to make at the beginning. Pick one that appeals to you the most and will easily be good at. Stick with it until it is well founded before you move on to others.
You will also be getting free downloadable eBooks and links other blog posts. These resources will certainly get you started in any of the businesses.

Online Freelancing:
A freelancer is someone who offers his services only for the duration of the assignment or project he is hired for. After that task is completed, he gets paid. He then moves on to other assignments. This is how it is different from an employment where you have to be with the same employer and get paid weekly or monthly.
There are so many jobs or services that you can online as a freelancer. You could be a freelance writer (which I am), freelance graphics designer, voice over artist, social media expert, website developer and so on.
For beginners who know close to nothing about the internet, I usually recommend starting on sites like fiverr, upwork etc. You can really make a lot of money as a freelancer.

Ecommerce is short for electronic commerce. This is another business idea where you can basically sell physical products using the internet. You could decide to sell yours or others’ products (drop-shipping). It also could be highly profitable. If you know how source for products, you could buy high in demand products in bulk and probably sell off for a profit ten times the cost price.
