Denise Wakeman shares some thoughts about being an introvert running a successful online business
For those who don’t know her, Denise Wakeman is a well-respected internet marketing strategist and co-founder of the Blog Squad. She graciously accepted to be interviewed last week on her take on sensitive people having businesses online, and it was a fun conversation.
She had never looked the topic of “sensitive people in business” before but [...]
When marketing, being too respectful of others’ boundaries can backfire
I never thought I’d say that. I hate to be sold to; I hate hype; and I hate too many e-mails.
And since I treat people the way I like to be treated, I have been e-mailing to my list only occasionally.
Well, I know better; building a relationship requires showing up at the very least!
I had [...]
Pre-planning; the most overlooked factor in successfully starting a business
The post title might surprise you, because so many people who have a dream to start a business get stuck in the planning phase, so how can I say it’s overlooked?
What happens is that the planning never gets finished, either because it’s too vague (and therefore more akin to day-dreaming) or lacking in a cohesive [...]
Combining business with spirit improves your profitability
Now that might be a bit of a surprise for some of you.
You might see how having a business that reflects your values, personality and deep wishes increases your quality of life, but may not see how it can actually help you be more successful. Here are some of the ways being spirit-minded in business [...]
None of us fully understand our value
That statement applies to us most of the time, not just when we are in a low self-worth phase.
I was reflecting on it after reading Noah St John’s fantastic book, “The Secret Code of Success”. It’s full of ideas that are really consistent with my philosophy.
Here’s a direct quote from his book:”…you can’t fully perceive [...]
Are you afraid of starting your online business?
The most natural response to this question is to say:” Of course not! Why would I have spent all this money taking internet marketing courses if I didn’t want to do this?”
Before you dismiss the question as being irrelevant in your case, it would be worth your while to take a bit of time to [...]
Why you might still be stuck starting your internet business despite buying courses on how to do it
Maybe you’ve bought books or programs on how to market online, gone to live events or even part of a coaching program, and yet are still stuck, meaning you haven’t made any money, chosen your niche and business model, or haven’t started altogether.
That happens to quite a few people actually, even if they’ve been taught [...]
Questions to ask yourself if you are starting an internet business
The main questions are the same for both off line and online businesses:
Why do you exist; who are you serving and what are you doing for them?
What is unique about your offerings?
How do you plan to deliver them? You won’t know all of it yet, but you should at least have a general [...]
Most people don’t ask themselves the right questions when they start their online businesses
Using a gross over simplification, people come from one of two points of view when they are considering doing business on line:
They want to make money to pay the bills and/or escape their jobs
They want to tell a wider audience about the services they provide
Continuing to indulge my mood for grossly over simplifying:
Many people in [...]
The internet allows really nice people who provide valuable services to thrive…if they do it right
That’s why I’ve been devoting time lately to helping people succeed online.
Now at first glance, I don’t look like I’m an internet mentor. My mission is to:
Help entrepreneurs start and run successful businesses that reflect who they really are
Provide the tools to allow people to make money while doing meaningful, satisfying work
Contribute in creating [...]
