Growing it on your Own: Success is a Journey, Not a Destination

Starting to look at your options for being an entrepreneur is the beginning of your journey of sucess! Just by realizing that you want to take the reigns and create your own income and schedule, is a first step that many will never accomplish. Be excited! Be proud! Start to move "with your gut" towards opportunities and you will most likely always know the perfect thing for you at the perfect time. Be open and willing to learn and be coachable. Be willling to make mistakes, even to fail, and get back up, learn from the experience and be better as a result. You are taking a leadership role in your community and society simply by making the decision that you will be a business owner. Congratulations!

SEO Resources

Once you have your website up and running, the best way to drive traffic to your site without spending a penny is to optimize it - that is, making changes to your site that allow it to appear in the top rankings of a search engine. Keyword research is essential, and I reccomend WordTracker as the best tool out there for keyword research. Also, tracking your rankings is a good idea for folks who get serious with optimizing their site. AgentWebRanking is a good tracking program to use. If you are in Kansas City, consider taking my "How to Market on the Internet" class, which will give you a good intro to SEO. Otherwise, and even if you have attended my class, do as much research as you can, SEO is an ever evolving monster!
