Do you have an internet business and want to experience great internet success? As you may very well know it is not something that happens overnight, but internet success takes strategy and hard work. Find out the ingredients to internet success in this segment from an interview between Dale Beaumont and Adam Davis.
At the age of 20, Adam has grown his consultancy into one of the most recognised traffic generation consulting services in the world, with over 500 clients in four countries. He has spoken in front of crowds of over 1,500 people in Singapore, Australia, the UK, Indonesia and Malaysia on how to effectively send traffic to any website and make a profit.
What is the most important thing you have learnt about succeeding on the internet?
As funny as it may sound, the internet itself has very little to do with whether or not you become a successful internet entrepreneur! Instead, it is about who you are and the mind-set with which you approach the concept of the internet.
In order to succeed you need to stay focused and committed to both the immediate task and the long-term vision. But perhaps the most important thing I have learnt is that the internet is nothing more than a medium; one that can distract a potential entrepreneur to the point of destroying their business. Let me explain: The very nature of an internet-based business means that you will often spend long periods of time in front of a computer screen (unless you have employees to do this for you).
There’s little interaction with people and it can become distracting if you do not have good motivation and concentration. It is not uncommon to have wandering thoughts about random topics far removed from your business. Your unfocused mind tempts you to Google irrelevant topics and then you start following links. Before you know it, you’ve wasted many hours that could have been spent furthering your online business and increasing your profits. You then fail to approach your tasks with as much enthusiasm and vigour as you previously did, thus starting a downward spiral that can spell the end of a potentially successful internet entrepreneur. My work has allowed me to witness people succeed and fail with their internet businesses.
Based on my experience, I have learnt that the most important ingredients for success are:
- Determination
- Motivation
- Focus
- Clarity
To succeed as an internet entrepreneur you need to be completely committed to your business and determined to succeed regardless of the obstacles that befall you. For more on internet success and how to be the best internet entrepreneur check out “Secrets of Internet Entrepreneurs Exposed!“.
