Chapter II Traits Of a Successful Entrepreneur

Alas ! We get to the topic of entrepreneurship. I remember my first dive into the whole Internet marketing scene. I was a sophomore in High School. I remember staying up late nights till 4 in the morning working on some website or another product. I was always doing something online to make money. Homework and grades of course suffered badly, But I had a much larger goal in mind. I was determined by that by the time I graduated High School, that I would have made a million dollars or more online. My hard work paid off. No I didn't get accepted into Harvard for my outstanding academic achievement, I chose to go to community college for the first couple years so that I could continue to focus on my business while getting my continuing education. I didn't graduate from a Top school and look at me! I'm making more than Americas top Lawyers and business men. I'm not a genius, I was just a poor high school student who had a goal to make a comfortable living online. I knew I never wanted to work for someone, have set hours & feel obligated to come into a boring day job every single day.

When I first started my exciting career of Internet Marketing & Entrepreneurship I set goals for myself. I knew what I wanted and everyday I worked toward them. Step after step. I followed a simple guideline I had mapped out for myself. This guideline was to ensure my success in what I was doing over a set time period of a couple months, weeks, or years. Depending on the goal I had set for myself. First starting out my goal was to make $1 dollar each day. I setup a website targeted towards my niche and started to put that goal into action. I wrote articles daily, submitted my articles, built back links to my website, blogged about my site & many other things in which I'll explain to you in the chapters ahead. After two week of launching my site I had archived my first goal. I was making $1/day....Next I wanted to shoot for $1000/day.

This is one trait that has many different meanings. I've also seen this trait taken lightly by some entrepreneurs in the field today. Knowing your customers can determine how much earning potential you'll have online. If you don't know what your target market is looking for (customer needs/wants) then how are you able to deliver that to them?.. I hope I've got you thinking hard about this one. As this is probably one of the most important traits of entrepreneurship. Knowing & listening to your customers will allow you to come up with effortless ideas and concepts for new products, websites & services.

Communicating with you customers. The Internet is changing and during this stage, people now want to know the man behind the mask. They want to be taught mentored too and fed quality information. By building this kind of relationship with you customers you are putting them in a place to continue to supply you with their business. I.E. Con tuning sales, website traffic, and word of mouth marketing (viral marketing).

You don't have to try too hard to be “professional” just be yourself and your customers will love you for it. This also helps you create your own unique presence online. This will set you apart from all the other so called “gurus” online. After all being original is what entrepreneurship is all about.

Being consistent is a extremely important trait. Being successful and making the money you want to make online is going to take time & effort. No body gets rich over night, & if they did then that person was probably working at whatever made him wealthy for a long time. Consistency builds wealth. If you're determined to do something and you want to archive a goal then you're going to eventually get what you want! Thats a fact & proven law. It may take months or even a few weeks, but if you follow a set of guidelines as outlined in this book then you are bound to see financial success with your business online. There are a million books online claiming to make you filthy rich overnight – you can find them for a dime a dozen on ebay... If half of those books claimed to do what they say then everyone should be a millionaire by now.
