The very first step in succeeding at your Internet Business is learning to think right about it. Imagine someone who wants to become a lion tamer, but with no prior experience as one. How successful do you think he would be if he had decided to sit the lion down and reason with it? I’m guessing that his time as a lion tamer would be a very short, painful job.
Learning to think right about your Internet Business means recognizing that what you will be doing is a way of doing business. The actual business that you select must be linked to your biggest strengths, meaning that you must know yourself in order to succeed.
If you were attracted to doing business on the Internet because of the dream of instant riches overnight with no startup costs and without any specialized knowledge, your thinking is so very wrong! Roaming and hungry lions will eat you up in no time. Those lions are dishonest and unscrupulous marketers who prey on greedy but otherwise innocent victims who do not have a solid fundamental kind of knowledge about the Internet’s commercial aspect. They’ll keep gnawing on your credit card balance until you run dry.
Just like a regular shop or business, an online business sells a service or product with the purpose of making a profit. The service or the product is the focus; the Internet part is just the means of reaching customers. There’s no magic pill, method or Web tool or software that will produce money out of nothing. At least, I am quite sure there isn’t one at the time of this writing. If you know about one, please let me know and I will write a review about it.
You, as a prospective online businessman, need to learn the fundamentals:
• Most people who use the Internet are purely there to get information, not to spend money.
• Those who are ready to spend money online already know what they want, usually in specific details about the product or service.
• Customers can get very selfish and fickle minded – if you do not provide for them what they want, they will be gone in an instant. If they had bought from you and are dissatisfied with the product, they will ask for an instant refund.
• If you do not seem to be trustworthy, practically no one will trust you with his or her money. In the online world, perception is reality.
• When running an Internet Business, you need to be able to tolerate risk and uncertainty without getting stressed out. Every business, whether online or offline, will encounter slow periods, problems and temporary setbacks and failures. You need to hang in there during the tough times to stay in business.
Then, there’s also the question of how you should approach your Internet Business. Are you a businessperson or just a hobbyist? A hobbyist cannot use an Internet Business as a tax write-off but a businessman can. To turn a hobby into a business, it requires a certain level of commitment and discipline beyond the needs of a hobby. It is fine if you just want to share your passion and love for a particular subject or pastime on blog or Web page. But if you want to turn that interest into a business, you need to make plans and work on it like a real Internet Business.

Having a passionate interest in a sport or hobby is often the best motive for starting an online business. If all you want to do is just to make some money, go get a job and let your boss handle all the problems and do all the worrying. Passion is the key ingredient that will carry a business past the barrier to long-term success that is quitting when things start getting tough. There is not one successful Internet business that hasn’t had a challenge that could have destroyed it without a commitment and perseverance to overcome that challenge, no matter how hard it is.
If you think you have what it takes to meet the challenges of owning an Internet Business, and you have the passion and commitment to make it work, follow the two rules for Internet success:
1. Get started and take consistent action
2. Don’t quit!
Now that you know how to think about Internet Business, you will not end up as snacks for lions.
