Many people think that getting a huge following and growing an online business is easy, but Sean said:
“Overnight success takes 10 to 20 years.”
With that, here are some powerful tips from Sean that can help you build your own online business through influence and consistency.
Becoming an Influencer
Can you really make money from becoming an influencer? Sean is known today as an influencer in online video. According to Sean, he is not a huge fan of the term “influencer” but rather he thinks that it has to do more about the understanding of a topic. Sean said:
“I think influence is one of the most important things ever.”
He mentioned during the interview that his mentor is John Maxwell, a well-known author, and speaker on leadership. Maxwell defines leadership as simply influence.
Sean explains that if you’re going to be a leader, someone should be inherently following or paying attention to what you are doing. People trust you for your product, your business, and your voice. Nowadays, we can build influence through Facebook Live by bringing in guests just like with the use of BeLive.tv.
Importance of Consistency
If you want to build influence in an individual’s life, you need to be consistent. You need to show up on time because that results in your influence as well. Same as with your audience. If you make a promise that you will be there for your audience, and you are there to help them solve a particular problem, or maybe you are there to entertain or to inspire them, then you have to show up and do it consistently.
Consistency leads to integrity, and it leads to a good reputation.
Becoming an influencer and being consistent are the primary tools for you to build an online business that speaks to the crowd. Getting yourself out there online and creating a space in the minds of your audience is how you can help yourself, help your audience and help other aspiring entrepreneurs.
