The 6 Habits You Need to Adopt to Create a Successful Online Business

Today, so many people want to create an online business, but they don't know how where to start, there's overwhelm. And over 50% of people in America have said that they want to create some form of online component in their lives, in their businesses over the next 12 months. But where do you start? What are the habits that you need to implement? Today, I'm going to teach you six habits of how it is, you can develop a very successful online business.

Tip number one is to create good content. I know that sounds like common sense, but it's not always common practice. So many people I see out there creating content, but they're not actually helping their audience. They're just putting out content because it seems good. And there's no recognition of what the audience wants, it's important to find out what is the pain that audience is that they need to get out of? Or where is the aspiration, the desire, where do they want to be in the future, and how is it you can help them get that result, that transformation that helps them get there. So, creating good content that helps your audience is important.

Tip number two is getting comfortable with video, I have struggled in the past with video. And I know that it's important today. And it's not going to go away. In fact, it’s going to get more important as the online world develops. So, I decided a couple of years ago to go out and get myself a mentor and then get a coach to help me with my video, getting comfortable in front of a camera. And it's important that if you want to master something, you've got to go and learn the skill. Because when you learn the skill and you become more competent, then you become more confident in what you do. So, it's important to embrace video, because it's here, and it's going to become more and more important in the future. Learn the skill.

Tip number three is fill your brain in the right way. Fill it with good energy, fill it with good knowledge, go out and learn what it is your topic is. Go and get podcasts, go read books, go to seminars, go to training programs, we have an abundance of opportunity to be able to fill your brain in the right way. With good positive, well researched information.

Tip number four is to commit to the ultimate goal. I think so many people today struggle with knowing what they're going to be doing next year, let alone next month or even next week. And it's important that you set yourself goals. I've become very, very intentional in my life. And part of that being intentional, I need to create goals. Because if I don't have a goal, there will be nothing to aim for. And for me, it's important, and for my clients that these goals are tangible. They're clear. And you know what it is you want to achieve. Whether it is you want to earn 10,000 100,000 A million online, or whether they want to create one course and launch it, or you want to create two courses, you want to create courses and programs. It's important to be clear about what your goals are and make them tangible.

Tip number five is prioritizing your health. It is important that we look after ourselves. It is important that we do things that will energize us because when we've got the energy, then we can go out and serve and help our audience. And if you follow me on social media, you know I've got what I call my MEDS that are four things that I live by, in terms of prioritizing my health and that is

M for meditation, I meditate for at least 20 minutes every day. E for exercise I swim every day, for at least two kilometers. D is diet. I eat three good meals every day that are full of nutrition and health and S is sleep. For me, it's key that I get at least between seven and eight hours of sleep every single day. So, prioritizing your health is absolutely key.

Tip number six, find yourself a mentor or a coach. I learned this early on or at least I learned the lesson early on because I spent my whole first year in the online world just trying to figure everything out myself. And I found it difficult. In fact, I was very overwhelmed. And it was only when I got a mentor and a coach that every big thing began to take off. I would also add to join a mastermind, surround yourself with good like-minded people who will lift you up and make you successful. And I found having a mentor and a coach and a mastermind is just absolutely the key in developing your online business.

So, to recap six habits that I live by, I swear by every single day in terms of growing my own online business that I've been running for over four years and launched over seven online courses. Now I've coached over 100 people to grow their own online business. The six habits are tip number one, create good content consistently. Tip number two, get comfortable being in front of a video. Tip number three, fuel your brain in the right way. Tip number four is prioritizing your health. Tip number five, find a good mentor and a coach. And tip number six is committed to the ultimate goal.
