I am honored to be one of the 15 women being interviewed for the Laptop CEO Online Success Secrets program – a no cost series designed to help aspiring online entrepreneurs kick overwhelm, overwork & underpay to the curb so you can get your business groove back fast!
My interview is one among these other successful women, including Nika Stewart, Jennifer Bourn, Andrea Constantine and many others.
We’re sharing the good, the bad and the ugly so that you can model our success and avoid our mistakes too – this is the kind of advice I wish I had access to back when I was started my business six years ago. I’ve enjoyed watching many of the featured experts elevate their success and am thrilled that they are sharing exactly how the did it!
I was personally invited to participate in this event by Gina Bell, whom I’ve been wanting to collaborate with for a while. I said yes immediately knowing the dedication Gina has to the highest quality of events, resources and programs. I can’t wait to hear the interviews of my colleagues. Gina has a gift for squeezing all the goodness out of every conversation.
One online success secret I’ll share with you now is to NOT try to do too much at one time, especially when you’re starting out. Most folks who start an online business try to devour the whole “pie” at one time. This often leads to wasted time, wasted money, frustration and a lack of results. It’s very difficult to tackle branding, SEO, email marketing, blogging, social media marketing and the like ALL at the same time. To avoid spinning your wheels and feeling like you want to pull your hair out, FIRST, do your market research and develop a strategy for how you’re going to grow your business, based specifically on your ideal client profile and what that individual wants to learn from you. Yes, I realize this isn’t the fun, sexy part of growing your business. But it’s going to take a LOT longer to see the results (i.e. profits) if you skip this step. Secondly, implement just ONE strategy at a time. Master it and then add in another one. You’ll make steady progress and can easily track what’s working and what’s not.
