How to be an Ideal Lifestyle Entrepreneur
I believe that each of us have friends who are Entrepreneurs or we call them business owners. Entrepreneurs are responsible to grow their business, structure their business so that one day, they could work ‘ON’ their business, instead of ‘IN’ their business.
Entrepreneurs make money online or offline. It depends on what type of business that they are in.
Most people venture into businesses because they wanted more income, more time and some just wanted to get out of employment *laughs*.
In fact, when you are in business; for the first few months and some for the first few years; you will have to spend more time working ‘IN’ your business because you have to ‘structure’ your business, so that one day, your business can run without your presence. Remember this — You are responsible for your own results, and if you do more at the beginning; you will enjoy more fruits when time comes.
Other than traveling around the world to speak and managing some online businesses; I spend my time in Malaysia; coaching my clients in their businesses. Most of the time, we meet at cafés instead of in their offices. At first, we felt because café is not a formal place for discussion. However, now, all of us prefer to meet at different places (outside the office) because we realized that our brains work faster, we get more ideas and things are done sooner than we expected.
When I first started to venture into business, I always get questions from my family and friends about my work; my office, working style and of course how do I make a living. I told them that I am ‘Lifestyle Entrepreneur’ *laughs*.
In general, Lifestyle Entrepreneurs make money online, they do not require a physical office to work. All they need is a laptop and internet connection to manage their business. They also can offer services like coaching, training which allow them to work via phone calls or Skype. Occasionally, they can meet their clients to discuss about work, etc.
This is what I do now. Being a Lifestyle Entrepreneur has given me opportunities to see new things, to look at the business world differently, enhanced my creativity and it enables me to connect better with people who work with me.
Lifestyle Entrepreneur values their time more than anything else; to me, my time is the most expensive thing that I could offer. I focus on what’s working and I commit to learn continuously so that I can help my clients to grow their businesses. At the same time, I keep on turning my own ideas into new businesses to create passive income too.
Being a Lifestyle Entrepreneur is truly Awesome to me. I enjoy real time freedom, I do what I like, whenever I like and with whoever I like. It gives me opportunities to turn my ‘money making ideas’ into businesses to create passive income streams.
To those who wants to be a Lifestyle Entrepreneur; there are 2 main things that you have to note. It takes time to build this kind of business and your income may not be as ‘stable’ as you think. However, if you know how to strategize your businesses, you will be fine and money will flow in ‘more than you think’.
Have Fun, Stay Awesome!
