ENERGIZE YOUR BUSINESS!

Energize Your Buisiness and Embrace a Growth Mindset!

As an online entrepenuer there are many areas of engerizing others that we find ourselves facing. We see challenges our partners face, we see individuals start and stop and start again to attempt to achieve their goals.

Many of us often times find ourselves in a position where we feel overwhelmed by the thoughts, opportunities and steps we want to take to grow our own businesses.

With those thoughts in mind, embracing a growth mindset to energize your business can allow individuals to build routine habits to energize your business.

Within the Wealthy Affiliate Community, there are partners and leaders who have implemented one strategy or another until they find the methods that fit within their own personal values and time-management plan. These habits become habit after some time, and roll into the normal routine and values we build into our personal business models.

I encourage you to begin implementing the below steps and strategies within the Wealthy Affiliate Community to open your mind to strategies that may work for you, and potentially lead you to something new you can share with others.

This Lesson is intended to assist YOU in building habits to grow your mindset into that of a Successful Online Entrepreneur to Energize your Business.

Connect Individually.

Be intentional about connecting and communicating to energize yourself and your audience.

“Helping others can actually create the sense of meaning we’re seeking. Rather than ruminating on what makes our life worthwhile as we work toward burnout, we can find the answer outside ourselves, in human connection.” Elizabeth Hopper, Ph.D. candidate at the University of Berkeley

Begin practicing these skills through connecting with others within the WA Community as you build your business values and your time-management habits to manage your business.

Reach out to individuals for a pulse check

From a consumers perspective, consider the turn-around and attitude you would personally expect from a business. From a business owner perspective, the relationships we build with our customers (in an online environment) is expected to have a professional tone and quick turn-around time.

• Build a relationship. Take the time to be professional and personable with your customers.
• Listen to customers. Active listening is a skill like any other, and you need to practice it.
• Use analogies. Analogies are great to explain complex or technical issues or descriptions.
• Resolve disputes quickly.

“Celebrate Every Victory!” Few things unite people like winning!

Some individuals may require more intentional communication to make sure everyone you are attempting to reach feels involved. In your next post (virtual or in-person), proudly share and celebrate all victories -big or small- with everyone!

One of the resources Wealthy Affiliate has, which I personally think is amazing and motivating, is the "Success Post" function of tagging. This is an amazing and quick-easy-way to celebrate every victory with others!
