Business or Hobby?

Do you treat your business as a hobby or a business? It is so easy to get overwhelmed in a business and frustrated. You see people in your company succeeding and you feel like you are doing everything you can, but you aren't making progress. Sound familiar? Ask yourself these questions:

Are you really treating your business as a business?
Are you working your business?
Do you expect Success?
Do you want financial freedom?

You can be successful in your business, but it does take work. You have to be able to spend time on your business online and offline. So how do you do that?

Take time to visit forums and network groups. Make yourself known. People don't want to do business online anymore unless they know YOU! They need to feel comfortable with YOU! So you have to participate and get to know others out there. It is crucial to answering posts and creating your own posts. It can be about anything! You have to have confidence that YOU can do this and be successful too!

Make goals for yourself and stick to them! Create a dream board. Print out pictures of things you want, write on there where you want to be in a month, 6 months or a year. Print out pictures of vacations you want to take or a car you have your eye on. Or you can start small and print out a picture of a restaurant you want to eat at, but just can't afford it.












Send out cards to any leads you may get online and offline. Create contests to attract people to your website! ALWAYS follow up with potential customers whether it be by email, phone call or regular mail! This is also very crucial for your business.

Business is not going to take off on its own. So treat it like a business and not a hobby! Eventually it will pay off and you will be able to slow down on your work, but it will take time. Don't get frustrated. Have fun and be successful!
