Many venture into online business but quit as soon as they got started because they fail to understand that making money online does not only require hard work but demands having the right mindset. Not having the right mindset is the underlying cause of frustration and widespread belief that achieving success in online business is difficult at best or unattainable at worst.

Whether you are planning on starting an online business or you are a quitter, good news is you can achieve success by starting off on the right mindset or be open to adopt rules of obtaining new mindset.

Here are a important rules for obtaining the right mindset for success with online business.

1. Be confident of achieving success.

The first step towards having the right mindset is to convince oneself that achieving success online is realistic. To tread this path demands that online business should not be considered as a dream platform but a realistic opportunity of getting ahead financially. Here, with apologies to Robert Greene is an excerpt from his 48 Laws of Power that effectively drives this point home. "If you are unsure of a course of action, do not attempt it. Your doubts and hesitations will infect your execution. Timidity is dangerous: Better to enter with boldness". An easy way of gaining confidence is to stand on the shoulders of those who have been successful with online business.

2. Start where you are.

Having established confidence, the next step is to put aside the perfect image you have concerning the business in order to enable you initiate action. Although having a perfect visualization is healthy, it often sows the seed of indecisiveness which prevents one from initiating small steps. Brian Tracy best explains this with; ''Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly at first".

3. Work Hard.

It is unarguably true that nothing worth having comes easy. This goes across the board for all aspect of human endeavor including online business. Rid yourself of the expectation that you can earn big with little or no work because success requires blood sweat and tears, in other words, extremely hard work and unstinting effort.

4. Beware of "the dabbler's mentality".

While you make concerted efforts towards achieving success in your online business, you should beware of the "dabbler's mentality". To simply explain, the "dabbler's mentality" is what happens when one gets filled with immeasurable passion at the start of something new but gets bored overtime and finally shift focus to something else. Should this mentality be the reason why you want to consider online business then you're just in the right place to get oriented by Thomas Edison who said "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up".

5. Start creating goals.

Having goals is a sure way of surviving the long walk to success in online business. It is necessary you have both short and long term goal in written form to aid visualization of the success you crave for your online business. Ideally, the written goals should be placed at strategic points where you can't help noticing every day.

6. Own a BIG WHY.

Goals in written form could pass for a wish list or mere fantasies if you fail to take note of why you need to achieve them. Taking notes on the BIG WHY will ensure that you do everything within your means to achieve your goals.

7. Commit yourself irrevocably.

Committing yourself irrevocably demands that you make continuous efforts at being confident of achieving success, initiating small steps towards perfection, acknowledging that success requires hard work, recognizing the role of persistence in achieving success as well as writing down your goals with reasons why you badly need to achieve them.
