I can't begin to relate how rewarding it is to have a
solution driven mindset. This is the manner of thinking that looks at a
difficulty and tries to find a solution, as opposed to excuses or avoidance.
Online business is a business like any other, and problems occasionally arise.
You might also fail to reach your goals once in a while, and both of these are
instances where a solution driven mindset works so very well.
Some of you may know it better as "no excuses",
but I see no reason to be harsh about it here. If you want to be successful online business, you'll need to think in a way that solves your problems so you
can meet your goals. Excuses are unproductive, and avoiding the problem isn't
going to work for you either. The whole point of a solution driven mindset is
to overcome your problems so you can make money in your online business and
live your own life.
This mindset can be summed up as follows:
- If you have a problem, find a way to fix or mitigate it.
- If you see a problem coming, find a way to avert it.
- If you fail to accomplish something, figure out why so you
don't fail again.
All well and good, but how do you solve problems? The first
and foremost way is with learning. Knowledge is power. You'll need to know
about how things work online to run a successful online business. This is less difficult
than you might think. The Internet has its own way of doing things, like
anything else. But, it's not as difficult to comprehend as it may appear at a
glance. All those complicated-sounding terms have explanations that aren't that
mind blowing if you'll simply learn them.
The second is to act. Knowing the solution does you no good
if you don't do something with it. I'm not talking about panic, which is an
exceptional way to insure what you fear most comes to pass. I mean acting on
your solution and putting it into effect. Come up with an effective plan to
solve the problem and then use it.
Last, remember that problems don't get solved by any of the following:
- Ignoring them: Problems don't exist only in your mind. They
can hurt you even if you don't want to know they're present.
- Giving up and making excuses: If you can't solve a problem
at first, don't give up. You can either learn what it takes to solve it, or
find someone who can solve it for you. Excuses aren't helpful, as no volume of
them has ever made a problem go away. If they did, the world would be a
problem-free utopia.
- Allowing a problem or failure to overcome you: Problems
and failures happen. It's a fact of life and not a reflection on you. If they get
rough, take a bit of time to make yourself feel better, then analyze your
performance and try again.
- Not averting them: It's a blessing when you can see a
problem coming, although I know it causes a lot of people heartburn when they
do. If you see a potential trouble on the horizon, act to insure it never comes
to pass. An ounce of prevention can be worth a pound of cure. It'll take less
time, money, and effort to solve problems or avert them before they become big
problems.
- Panic: It's worth mentioning this one a second time. I've
actually seen former supervisors do this and bring their own worst fears to
life in a frenzy of so-called 'preventative action'. To panic is not the
equivalent of taking something seriously. Taking something seriously is the
equivalent of taking something seriously. Panic is a good way to waste a lot of
time and money. So suppress panic when things look tough and just cut straight
to the 'take it seriously' part.
I highly encourage those of you intending to start your own
online business to develop a solution driven mindset. The path to wealth online
can best be reached when you solve your problems and overcome your failures,
which this type of mindset can do. And if you really want to be successful in
online business, you really need to commit yourself to take daily action and
stay consistent.
