Basic Foundational Elements for Starting Your Own Lucrative Business

Mindset, Knowledge and Visionr
Part 1

If you want to learn about starting a legitimate business online, then read this article all the way to the end.

You've accessed encyclopedias of information about starting, growing and maintaining a legitimate online business. You're suffering from information overload and you don't know where to start or how to use the information. This is the first of a three-part article aimed at cutting out the nonsense and helping you to make the right decisions and start at the right place.

In this article, I’m going to start you off by telling you what most do not bother to tell you; they jump directly to the operational, maintenance and improvement aspects of the business without any emphasis on the foundational aspects.

After you're done with this article, you should be able to plan on paper, or at least articulate a plan of action to lay the foundation for clear direction to start your lucrative, legitimate, home based online business.

Get your head right!
First you need to understand that what goes on in your mind can be your best friend or your worst enemy; what is your perception of your own net worth? This is an important question, as the majority of people who start their own home based online business, don’t make it.

One of the main reasons they don’t make it and “throw in the towel” some months after starting their business is because of their “mindset”; the desire for wealth and success may be there but the historical conditioning prevents the belief that they are worthy of success or a five, six or seven figure income.

This barrier to the correct mindset can also be complicated by the capital cost of starting up the online business, the learning curve (which can be stressful) and the negative perceptions of those around us, about online businesses and entrepreneurship.

The way to change this is to start relationships with ordinary people who have started and run successful, legitimate online businesses (by reading testimonials online, becoming a member of relevant forums, joining organizations that facilitate online entrepreneurship, etc.). In other words, make some changes to your lifestyle regarding who you associate with.

This can also be easier said than done as family members can be a bit extremist, when we get a new idea in our heads; they are either completely for the idea or completely against it. They also feel comfortable enough to voice their feelings and opinions.

You cannot morally or ethically ignore or “write off” family, but you can gather, see and experience as much evidence as possible, outside the family environment, to show that if others like you can successfully run a legitimate online business, then so can you.

Talk to people, ask many questions, even if you feel a bit stupid asking the questions. You will be surprised at just how many people are uninformed about the simplest concepts when it comes to online businesses and the legitimacy of such endeavors.

The whole issue of “mindset” or what some of the “gurus” might call your “financial thermometer” is critical to your future success in this business. Spend some time on it before you do anything at all. This will enable you to focus and work towards the goals that you set for yourself, your family and whatever vision/mission you have fixed in your mind

Starting a legitimate business online is possible to understand, but the hardest part can be, believing in yourself when nobody else does. So put that sea of information and the tools that you’ve acquired on the back burner for a day or two and just work on you and what you really believe you are worth and why. Talk to yourself in the mirror, tell yourself who you believe you are. If you subscribe to or are routed into a religion or belief system, pray to your maker for confirmation of what you are worth but get clarity for yourself on this. Once this is done, you have established a good psychological foundation for success.

In part two of this article, we will talk about knowledge pertaining to operating a legitimate business online.

See you in the winner’s circle.
