Success — What Does It Really Take?
There are many thoughts on success and
what it really takes…especially success
with an online business.
Maybe you’ve heard it takes mindset,
focus, discipline, persistence, problem
solving or a variety of other traits or
skills.
While these are all very important, and
you will no doubt hear more about these
from yours truly, I truly believe there
is one thing above all else that is a
must to achieve online business success
and that is to…
…have a burning passion and desire to succeed!
It makes sense doesn’t it?
If we take a look at this on a smaller
scale it may sink in a bit more.
When you really want something like a
candy bar or to watch a particular movie
– do you gotta have it no matter what?
– what do you say to yourself?
– what actions do you take to obtain it?
Usually when we really, really want
something, we’ll do anything to make it
happen won’t we?
Being successful is really no different.
And the great part is we have total control
over our own passions and desires!
SUCCESS — You can have it!

Types Of Websites
Have you heard terms like ‘squeeze page’,
‘sales page’ or ‘blog site’ thrown around?
I sure have and when I first got started
online I found it really confusing to
understand what these terms meant and
how it applied to me.
Here is an explanation of a few website
types, what they are and why I believe
these particular websites are important
for online business owners.
SQUEEZE PAGE– also known as magnetizer
page or sign-up page. This is a simple
website, usually one page, designed for
the purpose of getting an interested
individual to sign up on an email list.
You’ve probably heard the key to
online success is ‘in the list’ right?
Well it’s true and very important to
have a list of individuals interested
in what you are marketing. You can talk
with your list on a regular basis to
share information and recommend tools
and resources of importance in your
business area or niche.
The squeeze page is the tool to use to
help you build your list. Here’s an
example of a squeeze page:

SALES PAGE – This is a website designed
for the purpose of selling a product or
service. It can be any length but is
usually longer than a squeeze page to make
the case for the product. It may include
things such as benefits, features,
testimonials, pricing, an order link
and guarantees.
As a business owner, we’re probably very
interested in making money right? Well,
this type of website is a money making
site. Here’s an example of a sales page
website:

BLOG SITE – This is a website designed
for the purpose of communicating with
subscribers, customers or anyone else
interested in your business area.
Blog sites are structured in a way that
allows sharing of information and ideas
through posts by the author and comments
by the readers. It’s a great way to have
dialogue and interaction on specific
topics.
Blogs are important because they can help
build relationships within a community of
people interested in a particular topic or
area of interest.
The site you are on now is an example of a blog site.

Focus Thoughts & Forward Momentum
Have you defined why you want an online business?
Do you have what it takes to succeed?
Do you have a burning passion and desire to
succeed in your online business?
Take some quiet time with yourself during
the week and ponder these questions. 🙂

To Your Success,
Donna
