WEBVTT 00:00.080 --> 00:05.510 Welcome to this brand new section where we're now going to take your business to a whole new level, 00:05.540 --> 00:11.240 because for the next few hours, I'm going to be giving you tons of incredible value to get you to your 00:11.240 --> 00:13.040 first $10,000. 00:13.040 --> 00:18.380 So at the moment, you have the perfect start with everything that I've already taught you because you 00:18.380 --> 00:20.870 have the beginnings of a great looking store. 00:20.900 --> 00:27.290 You know how to identify profitable markets and find fantastic in-demand products within those markets. 00:27.290 --> 00:31.580 And your store can be found globally thanks to the domain that you have chosen. 00:31.580 --> 00:35.630 But to get you to your first ten K, there's an awful lot more that I want to show you. 00:35.630 --> 00:39.830 And the first thing I want to talk about is this having the right mindset. 00:39.860 --> 00:45.650 Now, this might sound a little bit out there, but having the right approach to business is so important. 00:45.650 --> 00:48.160 If you want to succeed, which of course you do. 00:48.170 --> 00:53.420 So this is one of those subjects where I could actually go on for hours talking about this, but please 00:53.420 --> 00:59.000 don't worry, this is going to be very short because I'm going to reduce it down to three key points. 00:59.100 --> 01:03.330 And it's these three key points that I've learned over my many years in business. 01:03.330 --> 01:08.280 And so if you keep these three points in mind, you will already be well on your way to success. 01:08.280 --> 01:11.310 So point number one, time management. 01:11.310 --> 01:16.590 It is so important to manage your time carefully, but what does that actually mean in practice? 01:16.590 --> 01:20.700 I mean, I'm well aware that everybody watching this course has busy lives. 01:20.700 --> 01:22.650 You might have a full time job already. 01:22.680 --> 01:27.810 Maybe you have a family or many other commitments that make it hard for you to give this business the 01:27.810 --> 01:29.100 time that it requires. 01:29.100 --> 01:34.860 But even if you have all of those things, please don't worry, because the key here is little. 01:34.860 --> 01:40.980 And often your objective should be to try to apply 30 minutes a day to building this business. 01:40.980 --> 01:44.130 Of course, if you've got more than 30 minutes a day, that's fabulous. 01:44.130 --> 01:46.110 So 30 minutes a day. 01:46.110 --> 01:48.480 And when I say a day, I mean every day. 01:48.480 --> 01:54.240 It is way better to do 30 minutes a day than to try and do three hours on a Saturday. 01:54.240 --> 01:55.080 Why is that? 01:55.080 --> 02:00.510 Well, often you might not have three hours available, but more importantly, after an hour or so, 02:00.540 --> 02:02.340 your productivity will decrease. 02:02.340 --> 02:03.780 It's just human nature. 02:03.780 --> 02:08.730 And so by working for just 30 minutes, you will be amazed at how productive you can be. 02:08.730 --> 02:15.150 Now, the key point during those 30 minutes and this is really important, is to have no distractions. 02:15.150 --> 02:19.920 Find a quiet room, tell your partner that you don't want to be disturbed, but most importantly, put 02:19.920 --> 02:21.750 your mobile phone on silent. 02:21.750 --> 02:27.150 And in this way you can stay really focused and make incredible progress with your business and you 02:27.150 --> 02:28.620 will make incredible progress. 02:28.620 --> 02:33.870 If you just do a small amount of time every day, You'll be amazed when you look back after a month 02:33.870 --> 02:35.790 as to how much you've actually done. 02:36.000 --> 02:39.270 Next up, learn from your mistakes. 02:39.270 --> 02:43.680 Every single successful entrepreneur that I know learns from their mistakes. 02:43.680 --> 02:49.310 Now, spoiler alert you are going to make mistakes and when you do, you have two choices. 02:49.320 --> 02:53.880 Choice number one, which unfortunately is what a lot of people do, is to start looking inwards and 02:53.880 --> 02:59.940 blaming themselves, thereby generating a lot of pointless negative energy, which does absolutely nothing 02:59.970 --> 03:01.410 to help you in your business. 03:01.410 --> 03:06.290 Or you can go for choice number two where you say, okay, I made a mistake there. 03:06.300 --> 03:08.400 Making mistakes is absolutely normal. 03:08.400 --> 03:10.050 Why did I make that mistake? 03:10.050 --> 03:13.800 How can I improve myself so that I don't make that mistake the next time? 03:13.800 --> 03:18.600 And by doing that, you generate an enormous amount of positive energy which will help you with your 03:18.600 --> 03:21.030 business and your learning as you go. 03:21.060 --> 03:23.280 You are learning from your mistakes. 03:23.280 --> 03:28.830 And while that might seem quite obvious, trust me, so many people seem to choose choice number one, 03:28.830 --> 03:33.810 which is a great shame because with just a small change in mindset, you can make an enormous difference 03:33.810 --> 03:35.070 to your success. 03:35.070 --> 03:39.840 And then finally to the final point, which is to have realistic expectations. 03:39.840 --> 03:44.580 Now I know that it's highly likely that you want to build a business as quickly as possible. 03:44.580 --> 03:49.200 And for a lot of people, they somehow don't really want to do much work in order to achieve that. 03:49.230 --> 03:54.240 Now, sadly, I firmly believe that the reason for that is the culture that we are currently immersed 03:54.240 --> 03:54.630 in. 03:54.630 --> 03:59.820 When we see these YouTubers telling us that we can start businesses with absolutely no money and become 03:59.820 --> 04:04.440 millionaires by the end of the week, A lot of people seem to believe that and if they do, it's only 04:04.440 --> 04:07.410 a matter of time before they're hugely disappointed and give up. 04:07.410 --> 04:07.920 Why? 04:07.950 --> 04:11.580 Because they didn't have realistic expectations in the first place. 04:11.610 --> 04:16.830 Now, please understand, I'm not saying that's you, but you have heard me say several times throughout 04:16.830 --> 04:21.510 this course that you are building a real business and that really is the case. 04:21.510 --> 04:24.870 And building a real business takes time and dedication. 04:24.870 --> 04:30.330 But if you're ready to put in the work, it is so unbelievably worth it when you have a business you 04:30.330 --> 04:34.770 can be proud of that gives you financial freedom and the lifestyle that you want to live. 04:34.800 --> 04:37.380 So what are realistic expectations? 04:37.380 --> 04:40.050 Well, the reality is it depends on you. 04:40.050 --> 04:45.270 But with great time management, learning from your mistakes and everything else that I'm teaching you, 04:45.270 --> 04:50.700 as long as you take action, there is no reason why you can't have a great business in a relatively 04:50.700 --> 04:51.870 short period of time. 04:51.870 --> 04:56.310 But just understand it is going to take longer than 24 hours.
