According to Clate Mask, there are three ingredients of business success: Passion, Freedom and Impact. He goes on to say, “Impact should be at the core of your business. You might think that when your business reaches a certain stage of growth or you have a bigger budget you’ll then decide to make an impact. Don’t wait! Start from the beginning. Very early in our business we made giving and helping others a key part of our purpose. If having an impact is a key part of your business from day one, you will make an impact on someone’s life every day.”

Passion is your drive. Freedom is the ability to spend your time and money as you see fit, and Impact should be the core of your business.

Loving what you do and being paid for it allows room for mistakes and growth. You do not have to be an expert to start a business, but you must be able to keep your message going.

You need to start somewhere. Start with something you are passionate about that people will pay you for. Because you are not an expert yet, chances are that you will not be paid a lot of money for it. Look at the long-term goal for your vision, and do not be discouraged by the lack of pay or progress you will initially experience.

As you make decisions about a business, do keep in mind these Three Ingredients of Business Success.

One choice is to keep working as long as possible, and another is to start an online business. Online marketing as an alternative for Baby Boomers is a beneficial choice, as it can be done from home and almost any place in the world.

‘As a group, they were the wealthiest, most active, and most physically fit generation up to that time, and amongst the first to grow up genuinely expecting the world to improve with time. They were also the generation that received peak levels of income; therefore they could reap the benefits of abundant levels of food, apparel, retirement programs, and sometimes even “midlife crisis” products. The increased consumerism for this generation has been regularly criticized as excessive.’

If you are starting a business are you fully committed to doing what it takes to make it a success? Have you decided what avenues to use for growth? What is your commitment to Internet Marketing for your business and how do you deal with the marketing?

Are you going to use a blog, social media, traffic exchanges, safe lists, and email marketing? Will you use both paid and free sources. You must include a marketing strategy in your business plan and it has to outline the way you will handle your marketing.

The first thing you must know before starting a business is your personality and philosophy. Are you a person who is passionate, persistent and who perseveres once you commit to something?

I was reading a magazine article by Dr. Philllip C. McGraw in which he stated, “The way you do anything is the way you do everything.”

He went on to say that at age 12 he discovered that he was an all-or-nothing person. If he let himself get careless in school, everything else started to slide. If he aimed to be the best in one area that commitment raised his game across the board.

If in your commitment to Internet Marketing you decide to use a blog as your platform you must make regular posts.

When using social media you have to follow through with ways that increases your audience, engagement, and sales.

With traffic exchanges and safe lists you have to pay for traffic or surf for credits or do both in order to send out mailings (Ads) daily.

So figure out your philosophy or guiding principle which in turn will determine your commitment to Internet Marketing for your business.

In the world of sports there are many champions whose goal is to be number 1 in the world. People will remember the Olympic champion but not who comes in second.

Fortunately, in Internet Marketing you do not have to be number 1, because everyone has the opportunity to become a champion Internet marketer. You have to work hard like an athlete, but you don’t have to be number 1. You just have to be successful at what you’re doing to earn an income and have a scalable system. (one that allows for unlimited growth)

There are a few things that you should be doing to market like an Internet Marketing Champion.

1. You have to LOOK for what is missing and then provide it. Focus on SOLUTIONS. Not only what people need, but if you want to sell well you have to give people what they want. You’ll be much more successful by selling products that are interesting to you.

Before you create a product do research to make sure that people want to buy it. Even if you know they need it. People spend most of their money on what they want, not what they need.

2. You have to do what other people don’t want to do. You already know about the basics: classifieds, search engine placement, submitting articles, publishing your own ezine, building your own opt-in list, etc. But what else are you doing to build your business? Are you marketing offline, testing different sales letters to see what works best, marketing at least an hour a day, reviewing and updating your business plan, attending seminars, etc.?

3. To become a champion internet marketer you have to have a full-time attitude. Even if you only work on your business part time, you have to have a big vision and big reason. Your reason has to be something bigger than just making yourself happier or more comfortable.

4. Besides the right attitude, you have to have a product of value to give away, a medium-priced lead product and a higher-priced backend product.

Internet Marketing Champions know that success on the internet comes from building relationships. Care about what you’re doing and your clients. Become a champion internet marketer by solving people’s problems.
