Support. Now one of the hardest things you're going to find when online entrepreneur is you feel so isolated. Because you're probably the only one in your group of friends that's doing what you're doing. And we've gone through misunderstood, we've gone through filings, and you can feel very isolated. So the most important thing you're going to do long term to make sure you stay balanced is connect with other people and connect with other entrepreneurs online. In fact, I've got an online entrepreneurs community on Google Plus we can connect with me and other entrepreneurs.

It's really important that you create a new social framework and you've got the tools now it's really easy. You create a new social framework and get to know people that are going through your problems and situations. And then you can connect you can get advice you can get help find good communities, find good ways to connect. It might be a local business school. You can go and connect to. But when we're isolated is really difficult for us to succeed.

But by spending time with other like minded people, and with online social media, very easy to find like minded people, you just have to do a little bit Hunter, make sure you're in the right groups. Very easy to find like minded people to go find them, connect with them, become friends, and you will find that you will start to grow with them. So how do you find a search online? If you got a particular type of business? Just search for that find forums, find groups, either private groups, groups on Facebook groups on Google Plus, find others. Go out into your local network meetings, find groups you can attend.

I always like to join the free groups. I'm not a big fan of paying loads of money for network groups. I don't think you really need Unless your target client is heavily invested in that group, but a lot of times it's about just going out there and spending time with others that understand what you're going through. Then, what really starts to become interesting is, after all, you start collaborating. So in my online community, for instance, I've got people come together, they've been on each other's podcast shows create courses together. They've created new relationships and friendships have met up, they collaborate, they work together, they market each other's businesses.

So once you start connecting with other entrepreneurs, you're gonna find there's so many benefits, don't be isolated. And here's the key thing. Don't go into the groups or make connections solely for your support. Yes, that's important, but make sure you support the other members of the community. Make sure you're there to offer for advice and to help them with your expertise, and your experiences, and that's when you really start to grow with an online entrepreneur, when you spend time with other online entrepreneurs and you start helping them, not with people trying to connect with people that have achieved and making a million pounds a month, but normal folk, just where you are in your journey, and you're grow with them, and find people that are starting out and help them as well. And you're going to find as you grow as you connect, that support network long term is can be really, really powerful.

And one of the great thing you can do is, once you get an intimate group is form a mastermind group where you can share the intimate details of your business where everyone understands the sensitivity of that, but you can join and share and talk and they'll start giving you ideas and maybe they won't be frightened to tell you your baby's ugly. What I mean by that. Sometimes we'll have a business and our baby's ugly and because Cuz the people around us don't necessarily understand us, we can't really take their advice. But if it's an intimate group of online entrepreneurs that understand that business and what we're trying to do, when they tell us that baby's ugly, we will look at a baby and go, yeah, my baby's ugly. I need to do something about it. So, create mastermind groups, join them, but do it with people.

You've developed a relationship with online you started develop or even locally. But go out there guys, and connect with others. Because you're gonna need that support long term. When you're growing an online business. You're going to need a community that you can share with that you can talk to, that you can help because the people around you can understand
