Working Part Time with A Full Time Mentality

 One of the biggest reasons why people fail at starting an online business (or fail to break out of their rat race) is because of a flawed mindset towards their new business.

Yes, it is true that you have to spend the remainder of the hours you have left after work to work on your business part time. But that does NOT mean that you will adopt a part time or half-hearted mentality towards your business.

Imagine this analogy…

Let’s assume that an airplane takes off at 150MPH. You will need to ‘drive’ at a certain speed before the plane develops enough speed to take off. Do you think the plane will be able to fly itself off the ground if you are only traveling at a 100MPH? Of course not! It will not take off even if you are flying at 140MPH!

Starting an online business is just like this. You will need to work at a certain momentum before you:

• Develop the necessary knowledge to build your business (you can’t really ‘drive’ far if you are constantly locked in 2nd gear).

• You need to show others that you are committed enough before they are ready to take you seriously. This applies to customers, clients and potential business partners.

• You need to build your reputation strong enough because it will lessen your promotion work – the speed of trust between you and your customers is very crucial.
