What is this guide?
I started my make money online journey in 2010.
Through the years, I experienced a lot of emotions, and you can read or listen to my about page.
But, I wanted to prepare a short guide on what is the most essential 14 mindset tips you should have if you are looking to earn money online.
I hope this guide helps you and good luck 🙂
Never give up
Understand that projects can fail or unexcepted roadblocks will be on your path but treat those as a valuable experience that will help you in your next project.
It always seems impossible until it is done.
Nelson Mandela
Keep who is happy for your success close
It can be your parents, spouse, daughter, son, brother, or anyone, keep them close to you, talk to them when you fail, celebrate with them when you succeed, and this will help you to share in each other’s positiveness.
Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.
Oprah Winfrey
Keep who hate your success closer
As told in the Art of War, “Keep Your Friends Close But Enemies Closer.” If someone keeps on saying that you will fail or it won’t work, keep them closer and listens to all the negative thoughts because when you do succeed, they will have to admit their mistake, and the victory will taste much sweeter.
You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.
Winston Churchill
Don’t put all eggs in one basket
When trying to make money, don’t try to depend only on one source of income, one source of customer, one source of traffic method, etc. Because anything can happen at any time, so always spread your investments.
Do not put all your eggs in one basket.
Warren Buffett
If it’s too good to be true, then generally it is
The internet is filled with fake marketing gurus with courses & tools that appear too good to be true, and in most cases, it is. When looking for reviews, make sure to search for an unaffiliated opinion.
If something is too good to be true, it probably is.
Mark Twain
Don’t go for next shinny product
This happened to me a lot where we follow on a digital project journey. In the middle, suddenly, we will see another person having great success with another project, so we suddenly stop all that we have done and switch it to that, and the process keeps on repeating.
Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship.
Benjamin Franklin
Always put your interest over money
Don’t start a project with the main focus on money because soon you will be struggling for content ideas, motivation to keep it running, or if you face any roadblocks, you will lose your interest quickly.
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.
Steve Jobs
Every failure is a success
Don’t take failure as a loss instead take it as a success because now you know what you should do & not do, and these experiences will make you much more adaptable and responsible in your next project.
I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.
Thomas Edison
Trust in your self
If you can’t trust in your self, then how is another person is going to believe what you are trying to sell. So, have self-confidence in who you are and what you can do.
Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.
Christian D. Larson
Don’t be scared to make necessary investments
You can indeed start earning money online without any investment, but the necessary investments can help with reliable properties and also speed up your journey.
The only thing standing between you and your goal is the story you keep telling yourself as to why you can’t achieve it.
Jordan Belfort
Always try to reinvest
When you start earning money, don’t keep the focus on saving money because you need to widen your investments and keep on increasing your reach so whenever possible, always reinvest to take you to the next level.
The most important investment you can make is in yourself.
Warren Buffett
Surround yourself with people who are in your industry
Always try to find common ground and keep in touch with people who are looking to succeed, this way you won’t feel alone and during any problems you can help each other out.
You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.
Jim Rohn
Always assume that success is lurking around the next corner
Have the mindset where you know that success is just around the corner, so invest your self and do your best and success will follow you.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.
Winston Churchill
Don’t work for someone else’s dream instead work for your dream
You get one life, so why should you work towards bringing someone else’s dream a reality so work towards bringing your dream a reality.
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Final words
Don’t ever regret your life, and every second is precious, just go to the hospital to see how many are fighting for it.
Live life with your family and live it the way you want.
Treat your friend, colleague, or stranger how you like to be treated.
When you are having a bad day, know that someone else is having a much worse day than you.
Don’t think of all things which you don’t have; instead, be thankful for your life you are living, beautiful family, and things you own.
