How digital entrepreneurship became my passion

How digital entrepreneurship became my passion

How digital entrepreneurship became my passion and put me on a path to create the income lifestyle and freedom I want… is a personal success story of mine, unleashing my inner entrepreneur in the digital economy… and once and for all designing the life and business I love.

I’ve always been innovative and solution-oriented and applied these skills in my career as an employee – what’s referred to as an “intrapreneur.” Early in my career, I was always looking to add value, trying to be the best and winning awards, trying to improve performance, the bottom line. I’ve had a natural tendency of being a pro, being the best in whatever it is that I am doing.

But I recognized that, with a job, I had limitations of what I could experience in life. Yes, I had a stable income, but I was capped in my earning potential. I was limited to what I could work on, as well as the skills I could use or develop. I was constrained in my success and happiness. I knew I needed to become my own boss and become an entrepreneur to get the lifestyle I wanted to achieve.

But, I didn’t just want to be an entrepreneur… I wanted to be a digital entrepreneur.

I wanted to set up an online business in the fast growing digital economy – that would provide me income freedom, time freedom, and geographic freedom. I wanted a business that would unleash the best version of myself, living my passion, and living the freedom lifestyle where I could grow my business while traveling the world with just a laptop and an internet connection.

“Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be worked for, it is a thing to be achieved.” – William Jennings Bryan, orator and politician

My path to entrepreneurship success was a rocky one in the beginning

Starting in my mid-twenties, I awakened my spirit of adventure to explore the world of business. I began to search for new business opportunities and, for a short period, I would be excited. I would start to conduct research to write my business plans and, most of the time, I would not follow through – I would quit due to lack of interest. Or I began to hate and despise the businesses I did set up after only a year because I never found my true inner entrepreneur. My passion business – and my desire to succeed in the long run – flat lined.

The business ventures I did set up were numerous: a business planning software development and sales company, a seniors’ complex development, a warehouse condo development, a home-building construction company. These ventures all ended up being mediocre successes or outright failures. I never had the desire to win at all costs because I lacked the interest and willingness to fight for them. These businesses all felt like work – they were not my passion. I didn’t make good decisions on the business opportunities right for me; instead, I just got involved in whatever came my way.

Past business failures helped me find my passion – digital entrepreneurship

Even though I had failed in most of my business ventures and lost a substantial amount of money, I don’t look at these experiences as failures. Instead, I used them to learn what not to do, or what to do better next time, or better yet – what I really wanted to do (what I was passionate about). I was always willing to invest in myself, learn, apply and develop skills to become an entrepreneur.Wake up

My past business failures… woke me up to the realization that my next business venture was going to be different… it was going to aligned with my passion and skill set, and desire for a freedom lifestyle. I wanted to become a digital entrepreneur providing coaching and training and various other products and services online to help people around the globe become digital entrepreneurs. I was passionate about this mission. And with full on commitment… I was prepared to do what it takes, to pay the price (invest more time and money and take a risk one more time) to get paid the price (to live the freedom lifestyle, life on my terms).

 

“There is no such thing as failure as long as you grow and learn from the action/outcome and make distinctions to get closer to your goals.” – Anthony Robbins, Personal Mastery teacher

Obstacles are those frightening things you only see when you take your eyes off the goal

Setting out in any new direction, whether that be a new business, a new career, or a new relationship… initially you experience “the honeymoon phase” whereby everything is fresh and new. You will love the feeling of freedom and making a fresh start gives you. But no matter what that new thing is, after a while the novelty wears off and reality kicks in, because building your dream business that makes a good profit always takes longer than you think. And sooner or later, you will be presented with a challenge or making enough money to support yourself and/or your family… that can make you feel really uncomfortable at the thought of dealing with. You will start to get very worried, and second guess your decision that you were so proud of and excited about.

The new richIf you reach that challenge and don’t feel inspired to get past it, then the end result clearly isn’t important enough for you. And that’s fine. It’s simply just a sign you’re in the wrong place. But if you are passionate about your business… my message to you is not to worry about the decision you have made to make change for the better. Don’t worry about the lack of money in the short term, the extra time, investment and sacrifices you have had to make . Stay the course, because if your reason for setting out on that journey is huge, and the end result of freedom and abundance is worthwhile, you will find a way to get through your challenges and achieve what you set out to do.

Once you find what it is you were meant to do, the thing that gives your life purpose and meaning, you no longer think in limitations or in terms of failure. You will just keep plugging forward because it is a passion and becomes your purpose. It will not feel like extra work or extra hours. It will feel natural and exciting and the right thing to do for your life.
