What I Learnt From a Room of 7&8 Figure Online Entrepreneurs
I recently attended a mastermind at a beautiful retreat in New South Wales, where I had the privilege of spending time with a bunch of top-tier online entrepreneurs. I was in awe of these incredible humans whose outlooks on life and business were not only inspiring, but transformative for me.
These 7 and 8 figure online entrepreneurs have carved out their niches, successfully designing businesses that serve the lives they truly wish to live. Today, I’m sharing some of the biggest insights and aha moments I gained from my time with them.
The Power of Choice: Crafting Your Ideal Workday
One of the first revelations came from an unexpected yet simple question: “How many hours do you want to work each day?” This stumped me. For years, I operated under the assumption that my business dictates my hours. The fact is, it can be the other way around. This question really revolutionised my approach. I realised it isn’t about what’s possible; it’s about what I want and simply making that happen – reshaping my work around my ideal life rather than the reverse.
Anchoring in Purpose: The “Why” That Drives Success
What truly sets these successful entrepreneurs apart is their unwavering commitment to something greater than just running a business. They are driven by a deeper mission—a purpose that resonates with others. This isn’t a novelty—it’s foundational. As AI and technology evolve, the need for a genuine connection, a heartfelt purpose, only intensifies. I was reminded to infuse my “why” into everything I do, ensuring that regardless of changing tides, the human connection always remains my focus.
Pragmatism Over Analysis: Solving the Right Problems
What does it look like to view your business through a more pragmatic lens, rather than a mindset one? During the mastermind, it was clear that these entrepreneurs weren’t immobilised by overthinking—they executed. My takeaway? Success and pragmatism are siblings. Instead of mulling over the possibilities, decisions are made, strategies set, movements executed. It’s a powerful stance: look at what needs solving and simply do it.
Being surrounded by those who have scaled the entrepreneurial ladder to seven and eight figures provided a fresh perspective on how to operate not just my business, but also my life. I hope these insights spark a new way for you to view your business, encouraging you to live and work with intentionality and clarity. Here’s to crafting not just a successful business, but a life that deeply resonates with your core values.
