Okay, forget what anyone says about online business.
Forget about getting a 9 to 5.
Throw out everything you’ve ever been told about making money and start fresh.
Step 1: Identify your talent
Everyone has a talent, whether you want to believe it or not. And on top of that everyone has the ability to exploit that talent and make money out of it.
Step 2: Polish your talent
Brush up on your talent, focus on what it is you’re good at and think of how you can become better. Now do that.
Step 3: Execute
In every article I have ever written I talk about execution, this is the most important step because without it you are wasting your time.
In case this is a little confusing at first, I will break it down with a real example of how I helped my friend pursue his passion and make a business out of it, and if he chooses to, he can support him for the rest of his life.
My friend has been doing his own yard work for years, whether it was cutting the grass, keeping hedges trimmed or making the garden look pretty. Everyday you would see him out there, watering, trimming, edging or just working on something. It had slowly developed into a burning passion without him even realizing.
He was unemployed and searching for work so that he could move from his parents house. Day after day he was looking for jobs, all of which were minimum wage ($8.38/hr in NJ)
I spoke to him and told him that he was stupid and that he should do lawns for people. He didn’t know if he could because he couldn’t transport the goods. I loaned him $400 for a tow trailer on Craigslist and he started looking for clients.
All he had to do was show a picture of his lawn and he got his first client in the first week. He is now up to 16 clients and he has 2 employees. He is only 19 years old but he is running a business that will scale with him for the rest of his life.
FIND YOUR PASSION AND EXECUTE.
