Hello, this is Stefan from Projectlifemastery.com and in this video I'm
going to share with you how to build an online business while you have a full time job.
Now if you're someone that's watching this video right now and right now you've got a part time or
full-time job and you want to know how to escape it, maybe you have the goal,
the dream, the aspirations to build your own successful and profitable online
business. You want to be able to quit your job one day and escape the 9 to 5 and have
freedom and travel the world and do whatever it is that you want with your
life then this video is going to be for you. I've got a lot of great tips and advice
that can help you. At one point for me I had a job. I had a full time job. It's been
a while but the last time I had a job was when I was 21 years old. I was
working for the family business at the time and I was doing construction and sales and I
didn't enjoy it. I didn't like it all. I felt like I was spending all this time
building someone else's dream and my dreams were getting neglected. It
wasn't my passion and even though it provided for me, provided some
income I still wanted freedom. I remember I read the book The Four Hour Work
Week and it just totally blew my mindset of a different reality because the
Internet has changed our lives in so many ways and changed the world that now
there's so many opportunities that exist that never existed before. The
whole traditional model of go to school and get good grades then go to
university and get a job, that's fine for some people but now there's a
whole different world, a whole different opportunity that's existed that society
is starting to actually realize and understand a little bit more. The whole
traditional education system, maybe your parents or people in an old school mindset
they might not get it or understand it yet but the world has shifted.
here's jobs that exist, opportunities, businesses that exist that never
existed before. I think it's a great opportunity for us to adapt and
kind of lifestyle you want. I know for me I was once in that position. I can
share with you guys what I did, some advice for you that can help you make that
transition from
employee to full-time entrepreneur, make a passive income or being able to
travel etc. Also at this point I've worked with thousands of people
now who have been in a job and have quit their job and built their own successful
online business. I've got different training courses and helped a lot of
people make that transition. I can share a lot of tips and advice from my
experience of working with people because I've worked with people that are young
and people that are older, people that you might be watching this and you
might have a very successful job. I've worked with people that got a 6 figure income,
very successful job, they've got their family to support, a house, a mortgage,
cars, all that sort of stuff and it is a little bit more challenging because
you've got other obligations and they're used to making a certain amount of
money but I've also worked with people in that scenario as well. Now, where to start?
Number 1 I think you got to realize that the most important asset that you have
is your time.
Time is more important than money, time is something that's depreciating. We all
have time, it's a depreciating asset and learning how to utilize time is the most
important thing that you have to be a master of if you want to be able to build
your own online business while you have a full-time job. The biggest
thing that prevents people from being able to grow fast and efficiently in their
online business is the current job they have that sucks up 8 hours of their
day. The 9 to 5 most of their time is dedicated on that job and so a lot of
people the only time they have remaining to really build their dream, their goal,
their online business is on their evenings and weekends. In order to
actually be able to get out that position you're in you're going to
have to become a master of your time, master of time management. You got to
learn how to use your time efficiently so you can build your business to grow
it. Any business that you want to start and grow and make money with, it's
going to require time. Sometimes it's not as much time as you might expect but it
does require time and it also requires money. I think you also have to
understand that your current job is actually a gift and a blessing, can actually be an asset to
help you grow your business faster. There's some people that I work with for
example, they have
unlimited time but they don't have any money. They have all this time to grow
their business but don't have any money that they can invest into their business.
Often times my advice for those people is go and get a job,
make some money from the job so you have money that you can invest in your
business to help grow it. To build a successful online business
you're going to need money to invest in training and courses and education,
different software, maybe a virtual assistant, some different
elements like that to help you grow your business.
Maybe it's also investing in freelancers like graphic designers or web designers
etc,
content writers, whatever it might be. You are going to need some money without
a doubt and your job is actually a blessing for you because it's an asset
that can help provide some additional cash flow for you. Now
if you're one of those people that has a job and you make a certain amount of money and your expenses
match your income then you're going to be trapped. It's going to be very challenging
for you and you've got to really learn how to manage your money a little bit better
because you should not ever be in a position where you're living paycheck to
paycheck. Your job is basically there to provide an income for you and you
want to make sure that your expenses do not match that income. You want to make
sure you have a positive cash flow every single month that you can use to save or
invest in your business or whatever it might be. If your expenses
are matching your income you've got to deduct some of those expenses. You're going to
have to budget your money, budget your finances, you might have to downgrade your lifestyle, you
might have to sell your car and take the bus, take the bike, walk to work, whatever
it is. You might have to move back in with your parent, I don't know, whatever
you got to do, cut back on
fun and entertainment etc, quit some habits you might have whether it's
drinking coffee every day or buying cigarettes. Whatever it is you're
going to have to somehow learn to budget your money because you're going to
make it more challenging for yourself because then you're not going to have
any capital that you can invest to grow your business. You are going to need
some of that. View that as an asset in your business. Your job is going to help
you build your business. The other piece as I mentioned is time.
Mastering your time is critical.
Often what I recommend for people, what I did for
myself is I scheduled certain days out of the week,
certain chunks of time where I dedicate that time to building an online business.
For example you work
9 to 5 but what are you doing from 6 o'clock to 11 o'clock at night? Those
are the times that you're going to build your business. What are you doing on your
weekends? Saturday and Sunday? Again those are other fantastic chunks of time,
opportunities that you have to focus and grow your business. I know some people
for example, they schedule the time before their job, people that wake up at
5 o'clock in the morning and spend that time to work on their business and
do certain things before they go to their job. One complaint that I
often hear from people is, "I work 9 to 5. I come home and I'm tired, I'm exhausted. I
just want to watch TV, I just want to do whatever." Part of that number 1 is
that you've depleted your willpower all through the day. We only have so many
willpower units and you want to make sure that you spend the most important part
of your time
first thing in the morning on what really matters. That's going
to be your online business because that's what's going to provide
the lifestyle, the freedom for you to be able to quit your job. For me, in my
business, in my life I always focus the start of my day doing the most important
things, the most important outcomes in my business. If you've got a business
I recommend if you can wake up earlier, before your job
spend that time while you have the willpower, while you have the energy, put
that time, there's no distractions, put that time into your business then that's
a very powerful strategy that can allow you to really
accelerate your business a lot faster. Everyone is different. Some
people like it early in the morning, some people are fine the evening time.
Another piece is making sure you take care of your energy, your body.
In order to be successful with anything you need energy and often when
people tell me that they're tired after 8 hours of work that tells me
that you haven't optimized your energy in your life. Energy
really means taking good care of your health. For me making sure you're
hydrated, deep diaphragmatic breathing, consuming foods that have water in it
that are raw,
that aren't cooked, that aren't processed, they have the enzymes that can actually vitalize your body and
give you energy.
A lot of people they eat so poorly, they eat foods that just kill their energy
because their body has to spend so much time digesting food. You eat food like that
it's going to make you tired. Any time you have a big meal you're going to want to take a
nap afterwards and just sit around and be tired. You got to make sure that
you're taking good care of your health.
Maybe it's also exercise. I remember one quote from Richard Branson,
the founder of Virgin, he said that, he was asked the question, "What's your
number 1 productivity tip? How do you be more productive?" Richard
Branson thought about it and he said,
"Exercise." He said when you exercise it actually gives you more time because
when you exercise you have more energy, you feel better so you're going to be more
productive. That was really interesting how exercise and I totally agree with it,
taking care of your body is going to help improve your energy. Making sure you're
sleeping well, making sure you're not dependent on coffee and caffeine because some
people they take coffee, they get through the day and then they crash. They're not going to have any
energy, it's not a sustainable source of energy. Managing energy, very important.
Also understanding you're going to have to spend your evenings and weekends
to grow your business. Another common issue, another conflict or complaint
that I hear is people, they want to have balance in their life. Unfortunately
to build an online business you're going to have to be out of balance and you're going to have
to make sacrifices in order to make that business successful at least at the
beginning stages because the beginning stages you got your job, the
only other time you're going to have is your evenings and weekends. You can't expect to
build a business just spending one day out of the week and really expect for yourself to
get ahead. A business is like having a baby,
okay. It requires your attention, your time, your focus, your energy. Sacrifices
are going to have to be made. You might have to sacrifice and give up
time with your friends, time with your family. You might have to give up
watching TV and doing fun things. I know from myself that is one of the
biggest breakthroughs that I had, is realizing in order to get what I
want part of getting what you want is understanding and realizing what you
have to give up in order to get what
you want. You're going to have to give something up, whether that's
watching movies or whatever it is that you do, watching TV or whatever,
time with friends. Friends going to call you, I had many my friends, "Hey Stefan, let's go" on
the weekend, "let's go, let's meet some girls. Let's go to a movie, let's do this fun
thing." I said, "No guys, I can't right now. I got to work on my business. I got to focus." My friends
didn't really understand that but I knew that this was more important because if I
built this business I can quit my job, I can have passive income, I'd have the
freedom to do whatever I want, I could travel, I could hang out with my friends
at any other point. I understood the value of that was more important than
anything else. Again, it's a short term sacrifice. I'm not saying you got to make this
forever. You might have to make it for a year,
be prepared for that. That's what it takes to get to where you want to go. You might
have to sacrifice again spending money, you might have to budget things. Again it's
always a short term sacrifice and it's always worth it in the long term.
I look back now, I'm like I'm so happy that I made those sacrifices because now I'm in
a position, I'm 30 years old, I can do whatever I want. Understand
long-term, you got to focus long-term, not short-term, okay. All right, you're prepared to make
sacrifices, you budgeting, you got some money to invest in your business, you're
managing your energy, all very important things. You got to master a time and you got to
schedule your time. You've got 7 days of the week, you work from 9 to 5, you got to
schedule from 6 o'clock to maybe 10 or 11 o'clock 3 days a
week or whatever. You got to put that in the calendar. You got to schedule that. You
got to make that an appointment with yourself that's non-negotiable. During
those times, during those chucks of time that you decide that you're going to focus on
and build your online business you got to make sure you stick with that. I like
to schedule things on my phone or on my computer so I know during this time,
6 o'clock to 10 o'clock I'm working on this outcome, that's when I'm immersed on it,
I've got no distractions, I've got off my cellphone,
I've got off Facebook and social media, I'm primarily focused on that. Focus is
another very important thing that you also have to become good at and successful at
to build a business because one of the challenges a lot of people that go from
a job, being an employee to being an entrepreneur, there's a big struggle, there's a big
transition with that. When you have a job you get paid for your time,
that's a big problem, you get paid for your time so you show up 9 to 5 you get paid for those
hours. It doesn't matter what results you produce you get paid regardless. When you
have a business you don't get paid based on your time. You can spend 4 hours
a day on your business but it doesn't matter because what matters is results,
you only get paid for results. When you're actually an employee you're almost in
position of being a value extractor. Often times employees, some of them,
not all, but you can actually be lazy. I know that was for me in my case I wasn't
passionate about my job, I was lazy, I was just looking at the clock thinking
about how can I get through the days so I can get my pay check. Those habits
aren't going to allow you to build a business. You got to make sure that you shift your habits and
our focus and focus on adding value instead because going from a value
extractor to now a value adder which is what it takes to build a business you
got to add value to other peoples lives,
that's a transition. It's a different mentality, it's a different focus. You
got to understand it's not necessarily the time you spend is important but
making sure the time you spend is focused, you're working on the most
efficient, most productive things that you can be doing in any given moment to help
produce results in your business, that's very very important,
okay. Understanding that, it's a little bit of a transition, your mentality is
very key and also understanding that having a business you have to be
disciplined because when you have a job you have accountability, because
you got to be 9 to 5, you got to be there. If you're not there you're going to be fired. You're
accountable to your boss and your boss is telling you what to do. When you
have an online business you're your own boss.
You're probably working at home and stuff, there's so many distractions that
are there, there's so many things that are pulling you in different directions
so you got to be a master at saying no to things that are going to distract you,
no to other people so you can focus on what's important and at
disciplining yourself and saying to yourself, "Okay, from this hour to this hour I'm going to
work on this." And really force yourself to actually follow that schedule that
you have for yourself. One question people ask is how many hours, how much time should I spend
on my business? Really it depends, it's totally up to you. In my opinion the more
time you spend the faster you're going to grow, the faster you're going to succeed. I'm pretty extreme,
I work on my business almost every day, not because I have to but because I
want to. I'm in a position where most of my income is passive income. I've made a lot of
money online but I do it because I love it. It's a joy for me, it's my mission in
life, it's not a business, it's not a job, it's my purpose, it's a mission. If you can
associate your business in that way then you're going to want to spend as much
time on it as possible. Often times a lot of people, they want
to make money so they can avoid working, they can just live on the beach or
whatever but the way I've always looked at is let's say that you
met someone, you had a partner or relationship with someone and you really
loved that person, you're really excited about them, you'd probably want to spend all
day with them, all the time that you have with that person because you love them so much.
Your business is the same sort of thing. You've got to love it so much that you
want to spend all your time doing it and if you can have that passion for it you're
going to have a huge advantage. That's another important piece as well, really
enjoying it and loving it but as much time as possible however I know that's not
realistic for everybody so I would say having a schedule, maybe it's 3 or 4
days a week, maybe it's Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 6 o'clock to 10 o'clock
you're going to focus and build your business and then at least one day on
the weekend. You can get a lot more done when you immerse yourself as
opposed to spaced repetition. Space repetition is like, "Okay, I'm going to work an hour
a day." I don't think that's the most effective way of doing things. I like to
immerse myself. If I can work 10 hours straight, you get into a flow state, you
get momentum, it's amazing what you can accomplish when you get into that
state. I don't like to work an hour because I can't really get,
I can't dive into a really big project within that time because once I get to the peak
of that, the momentum of that before you know it the hour's over. Immersion is key and
another strategy,
there's really so much I can give you guys but another strategy that's been really powerful
is any time you can immerse yourself for a longer period of time. I know for
myself and other people I've worked with, what they'll do is they'll take a week off
from their job so they might take their vacation week, whatever it is
and they're not going on a vacation, they're going to use that time to build a business.
That's how you have to think. You've got to, again, sacrifice your vacation, sacrifice the
weekend so you can get ahead. One thing they'll do is maybe a week, they'll
take a week off from their work, their vacation and they'll go somewhere,
whether it's their house or maybe it's going on a trip, going somewhere
that's secluded, there's no distractions but they can go somewhere and focus for that week.
During that week they're going to make significant progress in their business,
they're going to make a quantum leap and be totally immersed in it. No distractions,
no friends, no family, nothing that's distracting you and it's amazing what
you can accomplish in that one week.
You'll get more done than you will in 3 months. It's amazing how productive you can
be. I know for myself I had moments where I traveled to Thailand. I
put money aside, I traveled to Thailand and South East Asia and it's very inexpensive
to live there so I just lived in hostels and stuff, just trying to get by budgeting my
money but I just put all this time into building my business. Within the
3 months I went traveling, took a break from my job I was able to grow so much,
I was able to make some money online. Once I started making money online it
allowed me to grow even faster. Immersion like that powerful, powerful
strategy. Also understand once you start making some money you got to be
smart with the money you're making. A lot of people they make money, they just use
that money to pay for their expenses. I did that but now in retrospect what I've
learned is that it would be much smarter to use that money to invest back into your business
to grow it even further. That's what I do now and that's what I try to aim
to focus on teaching people now as well.
If you make 500 bucks from an online business take that money, might be
worthwhile to hire someone and maybe get a virtual assistant for 3 or
4 dollars an hour that can do certain things for you. One mistake a lot
of people make when they first start working in a business is they don't
realize that their time is worth a certain amount of money and are often times
are doing things that's worth less than what their time is worth. For example
if your time is worth $20 an hour but then in your business you start doing
things that you could outsource to someone else that might cost 3 or
4 or 5 dollars an hour or even $10 an hour but people spend all this time
doing it, it's not a smart way of spending your time because your time
is worth 20 bucks an hour. You can make that at your job. You can spend more hours
at your job to make 20 bucks an hour so it would be more worthwhile for you to do that,
work more hours at your job and get paid 20 bucks an hour and then hire someone for
3 or 4 or 5 dollars an hour in the Philippines that can do some of those
repetitive, redundant things that don't require much thinking
for you in your business. Again, it's being smart about your time and being
efficient with your time and not spending it on things that aren't the best use of your
time. As you can see there's many different factors, different
mentality you have to adopt to be successful in business, that's totally
different to having a job. Your job, you're basically valuing all the
activities in your job the same way because you're getting paid the same amount of
money for every activity. Business, there's many activities but not every activity
is worth the same amount of focus or time for you. Outsourcing, using some
of the money you make, building a team, investing in software, those are things
because even still having your job could help support you to pay for some of those
things that can allow you to grow. Really it's about working
smarter not harder, okay. It's a combination really, working hard and smart.
Hopefully a lot of these tips have been helpful for you. I'm a big believer also
in compressing time and speeding it up. You got to understand again what I said at the
beginning, time is more valuable than money. A lot of people don't realize this when
they have a job. They think that they're going to build their business spending all their time
just learning from
forums and blogs and stuff like that and trying to put all the pieces together.
That's not very efficient. You're wasting time, losing money by
doing it that way. You got to understand you want to make money from your job,
use some of that money, you can invest in a training program, something that's structured that can
guide you step by step and guide you to get there much faster. That's going to save
you time and money by doing it that way. Again, that's about working smart.
You got to work smart. You got to use your money and invest it in the right ways to build your business
but by doing it that way, again, you're going to be able to get there much faster.
I do recommend, once you start making a certain amount of money in your business,
maybe it's a certain amount that replaces your current income from your
job don't just quit your job right away, okay. You want to make sure that your business
is secure and sustainable at least for 6 months before you quit your job at
that income. If it's 5 grand a month or 10 grand a month
make sure you're making that consistently month after month for at least 6
months and that it's actually secure. Business is not like a job.
In a job you get paid the same amount every 2 weeks, every month, it's secure. Business,
you're going to have months of highs, months of lows, it's more up and down, okay, understand that.
Also you want to make sure you put money aside, all right. Some of the money you make
put it aside,
maybe have 3 months to 6 months in earnings, have that aside for you in case
you need it for an emergency and also have a back up. For me I always knew that
if at any point I needed some extra money, right, let's say my
business was just dying for 3 months, I always knew I could do some coaching. I
always knew that I could get a construction job on the side and
make a certain amount of money, right. I always had a back up just in case.
That's another important piece as well. Hopefully this has been helpful for you. If
