10 Mindsets Web Entrepreneurs Must Have To Succeed

Entrepreneurship is a dynamic process of creating incremental wealth. Entrepreneurs willingly take part in the process of creating something new that has value by devoting time and effort and assuming the financial, psychic, and social risks. Luckily, we, as entrepreneurs, also receive the resulting rewards of independence, monetary profits from our endeavors, and the personal satisfaction of creating something viable.

As the president and founder of the Association of Web Entrepreneurs and the National Association of Women Writers, I have had the pleasure of networking with, collaborating with, and learning from web entrepreneurs on a daily basis for the last six years. It has been an ever-changing, exciting, and passionate journey!

My journey helped me discover 10 mindsets I believe every entrepreneur must have to be successful. To adapt these mindsets you must put them into practice. It isn’t enough to want to believe something–you have to act on it and practice it before it becomes a habit.

One: You Must Be Passionate

As a web entrepreneur, you will often feel like you are on an island–all alone. But if you are passionate about those you serve, the passion will be your fuel as you labor to build a sustainable business with a solid foundation. And the blessing of being passionate about your work is that it will spill over into every part of your life.

Two: You Must Be a Risk Taker Steph Korey

Web entrepreneurs must understand that one of the keys to accomplishing our goals is to be willing to take risks. This “active” mindset means there will definitely be failures. But failures are just indicators of which direction to go next.

Three: You Must Be Creative

All individuals have a need to fulfill creative urges. But successful web entrepreneurs thrive on creativity. They are energized by new ideas and possibilities. You must embrace your creative force and embody it because it will give you the ideas and solutions you are looking for in your web business.

Four: You Must Love To Learn

Over the last six years I have networked with hundreds of successful web entrepreneurs and every single one of them continuously invested their time and money in furthering their knowledge base. And they were at all different levels. All 7-figure successful entrepreneurs I have personally met and networked with love to learn.

Five: You Must Focus

Success expert and entrepreneur Melanie Benson-Strick taught me about what she calls the “bright shiny object” syndrome. It is where we try working on every project or idea we have and then suffer from the end result of overwhelm. Melanie teaches web entrepreneurs that through focus (a force or intensity that gives importance to something) we accomplish more because we are concentrating our energy in one direction. Successful web entrepreneurs understand that they have to consciously refocus every day.
