How would you picture yourself as a lifestyle entrepreneur running your own online business? Some may picture themselves relaxing by the beach while earning a 6 figure income. For others, it might be a struggle of finding the right online course, knowing which online product or service will work, or testing out an effective online strategy.
Our guest for this episode, Mitch Asser, talks about starting a digital business, overcoming challenges it comes with, and successfully generating income from an online business.
Mitch Asser is a Lifestyle Entrepreneur, who has been living the good life and running his online business from a Mercedes Sprinter Campervan while travelling Australia. Mitch has helped his own brands and clients generate more than 300,000 email subscribers resulting in over $5 Million in revenue online.
He started with a desk job and the hopes of climbing the corporate ladder, until he met a friend who introduced him to the online industry. According to Mitch, success in any kind of business is not magic that just happens overnight. Just like anything in life, we must understand that behind the success we see are the years and years of failure and disappointments a person must endure and persevere through to be successful.
As a lifestyle entrepreneur, Mitch had his fair share of challenges he had to face to be where he is now. He made an effort to learn through online courses. At a time when several online courses and sources of information are readily available, he suggests that it is helpful to find someone credible and trustworthy to learn from. He also experienced struggling to invite speakers for his online summits. Along the way however, Mitch created innovative ways to relate to people he was inviting to speak in his summits. Mitch admits that when he started, he got a lot of rejections, but he continued and marched on knowing that the right people would be attracted to his energy and passion.
Mitch also gave several key steps for those who are looking into using the online platform for their business like Mitch, and these are:
Get out there and learn things
When we learn things, we can identify what really resonates with us and what ignites the fire within us. When we find our passion and do it, we go the extra mile and dedicate more time and effort.
Know what your values in life are
When you know your values, it is easier for you to make decisions, take actions, and live authentically. For Mitch, one of his values is persistence. It makes a huge difference when you show up everyday and give effort to your craft.
Take inspired actions
Taking inspired actions means when you feel that nudge in your soul, you take action. When you are inspired to do something, your mental focus on the task at hand is at its maximum. Therefore, it yields faster and better results.
Work on your energy
When we raise our vibration and understand our energy, it fuels our passion. And if we work with the proper energy, we attract the right people with that energy.
In his experience, Mitch was able to look beyond the temptation of an early success and a quick buck. He was able to build a longer lasting and sustainable business. He took courage to take on a new path and he was persevering throughout his journey. He was not afraid of making mistakes, and instead turned these mistakes and failures as ultimate building blocks for his success.
