Okay, let’s get down to basics…how to be an entrepreneur. Notice I said how to BE, not become, an entrepreneur. That is a very important nuance, one that could mean the difference between success and failure for your work at home venture.
From day one of your online business enterprise you must present yourself to the world as an entrepreneur. As you start to build profiles at social networking sites like Squidoo, Facebook, Twitter…etc, enter your occupation or business title as entrepreneur. I know it may feel strange or even fake at first. You just started your work at home business and you don’t feel qualified yet to label yourself as an entrepreneur. The fact is, you have made the brilliant decision to start an online business and work at home, that makes you an entrepreneur. Claim that status.
The key here is to feel and act so that you may become.
Yes, the key to becoming anything is to feel and act as if you already have it. This is the fastest way to build the confidence and mindset of an entrepreneur. You will suddenly realize after a few weeks that you actually are an entrepreneur and your work at home business will start to flourish.
Now I am NOT advocating lying. Do not lie – that will be the death of you on the internet in a matter of minutes. Label yourself an entrepreneur and then tell your story.
Start reading and learning everything you can about entrepreneurship and marketing. Network with other entrepreneurs. Learn about your business from every angle. The faster you gain knowledge the faster you will gain confidence.
Confidence and mindset are extremely important to the success of your work at home business. Immediately take on the mindset of an entrepreneur and you will fill that role in no time at all.
