There are literally thousands of people everyday who decide they want to get “rich” in internet marketing. There are hundreds of thousands who are already involved in one way or another. You may even be one of those. Most business owners believe they have the entrepreneurial mindset for success, but do they? Are they chasing dreams or building dreams? There is a vast difference in the two. And even those of you who have invested time and money into big name programs may end up dream chasing if you are not careful. So exactly what is the difference?

Dream Chasing – Try to Catch a Cloud

Dream chasers are those who are in pursuit of something they never catch. They like the idea of making easy money online with little time or effort invested. They may have bought a membership to a marketing training system or coaching program and are ready to launch their business full force;  at least until the next “bright, shiny object” flashes by that grabs their attention and throws them off course like “Hammy” from “Over The Hedge”. Without a clearly defined business plan it’s too easy to get sidetracked by the next “get rich quick scheme” that pours into your inbox.  Their dream – to work from home, create their own schedules, and get rich… is not based in reality.

But sadly, this is often where the dream ends. A Dream Chasers day is often filled with web surfing, email mismanagement, bouncing from IMs to text messages, maybe a few phone calls, and before they know it, the day is gone…can you relate to?  No plan, wasting minutes and hours bouncing from one small thing to another and before you know it another day has gone by unproductive?  This isn’t a business…it’s a hobby.

Or you have the Dream Chasers who’ve spent too much time studying “The Secret” and the “Law of Attraction” without understanding the importance of “The Law of Action”.  They have every intention of creating a successful business but don’t understand the importance of “getting into action” every day to make it happen.  You can dream and think about what it is you desire (your clearly defined goals) all day long but without clearly defined, daily action steps to put your plan into motion, you’re doing nothing more than chasing a dream.

Dream Building – Hammering & Sawing to Success

Dream building takes hard work and lots of it. Yes, you need to have a goal and you have to visualize what you want but there is much more to it than that. You have to be committed to the daily tasks that are necessary in order for you to be a success. You have to lay out a plan for yourself and you have to stick to it every single day. If something comes up that can’t be avoided, handle it and get back on your schedule.

Don’t let distractions throw you off your success path for good.  If you have another job, work out a schedule that gives you some work time in the evenings and weekends. Whatever time you have to devote to your business, be it two hours, six, or twenty, devote yourself to those hours. One of the most important entrepreneurial characteristics is persistence, devoting yourself tirelessly to the end goal. Dream building means plodding along every day doing the mundane things that need done. Don’t sit around and stare at your dream board all day; work your plan efficiently, be persistent, tackle all obstacles head first, and watch your dreams come true.

Helping Build the Dream

There are things everyone can do to help build their dreams whether they are new to internet marketing or whether they have been at it for some time.

Set goals for each day, each week, each month and each year. Re-evaluate those goals frequently. Plan your day so you work as efficiently as possible. Make a to-do list and write down it. Outsource and automate where you can and as much as your finances will allow you.  These strategies will enable you to see your dreams actually grow into something tangible instead of being far off visions like a mirage in the desert. This is the true entrepreneurial mindset.

My partners became so tired of struggling in their home based businesses, they created a marketing training platform that has helped more online entrepreneurs create wealth than ever before.  And now they’re giving away free weekly training.
