Module 1 – MINDSET TO BUILD A SUCCESSFUL ONLINE BUSINESS

Day 1 – THE ENTREPRENEUR MINDSET

On Day 1, we will explore what it takes to have a mindset of an entrepreneur. Basis my experience, I consider it to be the most important ingredient to build your business. So, please don’t take it light.

As someone rightly said, “If you want to change your life, you must first start with your mindset.”

Module 2 – FIND YOUR IKIGAI TO LAUNCH AN ONLINE BUSINESS THAT PAYS

Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means your ‘reason for being. ”Iki’ in Japanese means’ life,’ and ‘gai’ describes value or worth. Your ikigai is your life purpose or your bliss. It’s what brings you joy and inspires you to get out of bed every day.

And the reason that this module is structured around finding your Ikigai is that you need to think deeply about what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what could make you money – and where all these coincide is what your Ikigai would be. So, let’s go for some deep exploration within and outside over the next four days.

Day 2 – WHAT YOU LOVE? (INTERESTS)

On Day 2, we will go back into your life and explore your interests. This will need some deep thinking from your end, and I will guide you through the process.

Day 6 – FIND YOUR MICRO-NICHE

On Day 6, we will fish for the micro niche within the niche you have identified for your business. This is extremely critical to build a successful online business that pays.

A micro niche is a highly specific business offering. Micro niches drill down from niches, which are already segmented out from a larger market. A micro niche is a specification within a broader area to segment your audience. This is an essential strategy for your success. After all, having a specific, segmented niche helps you convert more!

Day 7 – PROFILE YOUR DREAM CUSTOMER

On Day 7, we are going to talk all about your target audience – your dream customer. This will be super important for any business, as customer obsession is the key behind most successful online businesses like Amazon.

“The most important single thing is to focus obsessively on the customer. Our goal is to be earth’s most customer-centric company.” “If there’s one reason we have done better than of our peers in the Internet space over the last six years, it is because we have focused like a laser on customer experience.” – Jeff Bezos
