Once you have selected your subject and identified your target audience, you are ready to create an online program.
Curriculum design will ensure that you make an effective instruction program, which draws on the research results from learning theory, technology and management.
Online and solo entrepreneurs seem to have this one thing in common – being super hard and critical of themselves, expecting far more of themselves than they would if they were in a 9-5 and an inability to enjoy the process and just take time out, assuming that the “time out” is dead and redundant time, and that they should just be doing something productive.
But often that time out is the most productive and healing thing that you can do. Often that is where your greatest strength, motivation and creative inspiration will come from.
Here are some other tips for achieving both online success and the happiness, peace and freedom that you probably were seeking when you first got the idea of being an online entrepreneur and creating a lifestyle based business. Remember that?
One of my favorite ways to get re inspired about my business, to shift my mindset into success mode and get out of negative thinking is to practice affirmations on a daily basis.
The main point of them is to pick one or a few that really resonate with y0u, memorize them or keep them somewhere where you can see them frequently and repeat them out loud, no matter what sort of state of mind you may be in at the time.

So now it is time to settle down and write the book that I have had in mind for quite some time. In my blog posts and videos I talk a lot about location independence, and all of my products and programs are designed with that primary goal in mind. A lifestyle based, location independent business.
My BIG Why (or Several of them…)
My aim is to give clients the ability and know-how to create their all profitable, sustainable and location independent online businesses, moving away from the 9-5 model and actually doing stuff you LOVE and have a true passion for. [click to continue…]
I recently read Steven Pressfield’s incredible, short and straight-to-the point book – Turning Pro.
It has had a major impact on my life, business and day to day activities.
After the initial shock wore off – realizing how much time we all waste on activities that can dubiously be labeled as work, but are really nothing more than amateur, time wasting, wheel spinning and procrastination, and do not lead to the direct goals that we claim we are working so hard for.
All of a sudden I could no longer do the “pseudo-work” I was doing (endless email checking, trawling through competitor’s sites, buying endless “work related” books on amazon and other faux-work activities.
Your work is your work. You know what it is. For me it is product creation, making videos, guest posting, networking, writing eBooks and reports – things that are directly related to the main purpose of my business and things that are actually revenue generating.
After reading Turning Pro (several times), something happened and I could no longer avoid the “work” that I should have been doing all along.
