The First Steps to Take to Start Your Own Online Business

Emily Williams working on her laptop

 

We are living in interesting times, but that doesn’t give us permission to halt our dreams or suppress our desires. Now, more than ever, is the perfect time to start your online business and I want to give you the tools and resources to get it done.

Brendan Burchard, a mentor and friend, fast-tracked his empire on the heels of the 2008 recession. What will you do now? 

You see, we have no excuse to back away from our dreams. If you are called to help and support others through coaching, then it’s time to go all in.

And don’t think that you have to pursue this new venture on your own.

(In addition to today’s episode of the IHML Show, we’re also giving you access to our recent Masterclass How to Replace Your 9-5 Income with Your Business. Click here to watch the class or continue reading for more info about this episode.)

Greatness does not grow and thrive in a vacuum and neither do successful businesses. 

To start, focus on is who you are meant to serve. This person can change as your business grows and develops, but if when you’re just starting out – who is the one person you are drawn to serve? 

Once you’re crystal clear on your ideal client, you’ll be able to appropriately market to them, but you’ll need to dig deep into their wants, needs and truest desires. How will you serve them? What will your services do to change their life and propel them towards their own dreams? 

These considerations are just the first steps to building a thriving online coaching business. Once you’ve determined who you want to serve, how you’ll serve them, and what that service will provide, you now need to dig into those nitty gritty logistics.

Listen in as I share the logistics you need to consider and what it takes to launch your brand. 

Building your own business is such a freeing endeavor, but it takes time, dedication and hard work. Are you ready to bring your services forward? If so, then get out your notebook and listen close. You won’t want to skip a single step.
