Internet Home Based Business - The Forgotten Secret

by Michelle Greene

An important, but often overlooked secret is conditioning your mind for success, also referred to as your mindset.

Having the right frame of mind will be one of your secret weapons to launching your new internet business or any business venture.

Since you can’t physically see your mind, you need to do a few things to prepare yourself for success.

Vision Mapping Blueprint

This will be unique to everyone since everyone had different likes and dislikes. You’ll start with the traditional ‘goal setting’ strategy. Now, I don’t like to use this term since most people will roll their eyes whenever you mention the need to set goals. I like to refer to this process as “Vision Mapping Blueprint”.

Why a vision mapping blueprint? Consider this. Just about anything you ever do first occurs in your mind. Even something as simple as checking your email occurs in your mind before you actually log in to check your messages.

Creating a “vision mapping blueprint” can be as simple as making a wish-list for your new internet home based business. Set aside some time where you will not be disturbed. Start brainstorming about your ideal business. Think about how you want your new internet home based business to function.

Questions To Consider

Do you want a hands on business that gives you the excitement of shipping products to customers? Or how about a business where you use the internet to generate leads to sell to professionals such as realtors or mortgage bankers? What about employees? Do you want to have employees or not?

Maybe you’re interested in working as an affiliate or information marketer. How much time do you have to devote to getting your business running? How much time will it take from your personal time? Are you truly willing to be your own boss? Are you self motivated? Are you prepared for the isolation that comes from working at home or do you need the daily social interaction of colleagues?

Consider your likes and dislikes and above all, be true to yourself. These are all important decisions that you must make before you dive into the business planning stage.

Once you’ve completed your vision mapping blueprint, you’ll be more focused on what you want to accomplish and what you have to do to get there.

As you go through these questions, you’ll begin to see how having the right mindset will determine your outcome in starting an internet home based business.
