| Crumb Trail FTOS Home : Plan It : Your Online Success Requires That You Have a Vision |
One of the basic characteristics of those who have successful businesses, whether online or off, is that they had a vision before they acted. The vision may not have been completely detailed, but they knew what their goals were; they had an idea of how they wished their future to look. And those who continue to succeed make sure to re-examine and tune their vision as they go along. What do I mean by a vision? Start by asking yourself what you really want to create. At first, don't worry about whether you are sure that you can do it, or how well it may work. Just imagine the perfect business for you. Think about what you like to do, what things you care about, what you know that might interest or help someone else. We are all alike in many ways. This ensures that if you are interested in something, there are others who are also. And yet, you are also unique, so if it comes from your heart, your business will be unique as well. Do you want a business that is easy to manage, that you can work as a second income in your spare time? Or are you looking for a challenge? Do you love to do things that are creative and different? Do you want to market your great invention? ...add to your present business? ...meet a need for people? ...or just "get rich" and retire early? Once you have a vision of what you want to do, think about how you will make a difference. How will you stand out from the competition? Will your product or service meet a need that is not being met? Will you have the best customer service in your field? Will you be a "one-stop" source for your customers? Will you provide a common service or product in a new way? There are many ways you could fill an empty spot in the online business community. Now, write your vision out in a short paragraph. Try to write it so that anyone who reads it will catch the vision and excitement of your idea. Write it in a way that will inspire YOU as you move toward turning your vision into visible online success. As you build your business, listen to feedback from your customers, watch what is effective and ineffective, and modify your vision accordingly. Keep it in mind, and keep it applicable to what you are accomplishing today. It doesn't matter whether your vision is small and simple or large and audacious; if you have a vision and set goals and make plans in line with it, the likelihood of your success is increased immeasurably. Take the time to lay a good foundation for your business. Have an idea now about what kind of business you want?
