When does one lose their Newbie title? I'm not quite sure.
Is it when you make your first few dollars on line, or is it when you've learnt everything you need to survive for longer than a few months on the internet without having become too discouraged or deflated by the blunders made? Or we have simply run out of steam.
For one to be successful on the internet it is as we have found out actual a lot of hard work.
We have things we need to do all the time to stay on top of our business.
Whether it's writing articles, blogs, or advertising or promoting our business.
Our time spent working at each or all of these daily to get our business out into the mainstream.
I think if you have managed to stick it out for at least three months, have done your research, and have built up a small presence on the internet, then you can loose your newbie status.
It is actually up to you to say to yourself, hey I've passed the first test, grade or whatever you wish to call it.
I am not an expert, but I am no longer a newbie.
Although to make that decision is really up to you, for what one person views as their own growth, may not necessarily, be your standard of growth.
It may only come when you have made your first 100 or 200 or whatever sales, or an amount of $$$ in your bank account that you feel you are able to say, Hey I've graduated from Newbie to Next Grade.
You can't stop the work though with this new found graduation, although you feel you have climbed to the top of the mountain, you need to look at the next one in front of the hill you are on.
Look once again at that goal list, adjust it if it needs adjusting.
Maybe some of the things in your original list, have changed, especially if you had dated goals.
It may have taken you less or more time to get here.
Make the changes, then look at your new goals, you want to move forward, to the next step in your business.
You may be ready to branch into other avenues, to grow your business, to reach the next level or grade you have set yourself.
Up the game, if you are making some $$$ remember not to go out and spend it all on a celebration, some of it needs to be fed back into tor business.
Maybe buy that software that will help automate your business better, or get that training package, which will help you move on.
Or pay the people you are outsourced, hosting etc.
what is helping you grow your business is better than blowing it all on a celebration.
Once you have established yourself, and you are seeing regular $$$ coming in from your efforts, save a portion of this for the celebration, then make it really worthwhile, take the family away somewhere for a weekend or do something really special, which will be far more enjoyable than a quick celebration.
Especially if this is one of the reasons you started your home business in the first place.
Afterward's you will come back with renewed energy to put into growing yourself and your business, so that you can do that more often.
Another very important factor which you need to acquaint yourself with is about Taxes, wherever you are in the world if you are making money the Tax Man will want his share.
Find out now so as to save you and your family a lot of heartache later on.
Every country is different, but in most I think you can claim something back especially if they pertain to your business.
Find out everything you need to know, and if something needs paying pay it.
Better a happy Tax man, than an unhappy one.
