5 steps to becoming a rich online entrepreneur without any start-up capital
It’s not difficult to become rich. It’s difficult to be rich. And it’s very difficult to stay rich. — Warren Buffet
To be rich is something that most of us aspire to do in life. It is not easy though, but it is possible. You don’t need a billion dollars or a large amount of cash to be rich. You only need one thing – the ability to survive and succeed in your own unique way. You can be rich even if you don’t have access to the major banks in your country. You can be rich even if you do not have access to huge online platforms. And you can be rich even if you don’t have a technical background. All you need is the will to make it work for you. Here’s how you can become rich – not overnight, but consistently.
1. Have what you need
The first step to being rich is having what you need. An umbrella in the rainy season can protect you from the rain. But it can’t make you not wet. Similarly, a new phone or a gadget can give you a lot of fun and entertainment, but it cannot make you not lose a lot of money. Be resourceful in what you spend your resource on, instead use the little resource you have to acquire knowledge and skills that will benefit you in the long run.
There is nothing you can learn without being given. The amount of information available online is endless, which means there are an infinite number of resources to make money out of. There is not going to be a single person in this world who can give you the knowledge to make money unless you go out and look for it. Learn the basics and the tricks of the trade and you will be good to go. There is no instant gratification out here. What you will get is a lot of hard work, dedication, and persistence.
2. Be confident in what you do
People often assume that a degree and a diploma will guarantee a job. If this is the case, then every graduate should be leaving a trail of jobs as they go. The problem is that most people who earn a diploma and a degree later in life end up with low-paying jobs that they often do not like. The next logical question would be: what do these graduates do with their degrees and diplomas?
There is one thing for sure. It is a mistake to look at your job only as a means to earn money. It is equally important to determine what you want to do with your skills and education. This means taking a calculated risk by not waiting to get a job that would make you happy for years. You must be ready to take risks so that you can become rich at a very early stage.
3. Start small, build a foundation and expand
Building a foundation is important as it will help you in the future to stay ahead of others in the market. First, you must take a look at what you want to do and start small, step by step. You will be surprised at how quickly you will be able to build a better-than-average business. And once you get there, you can always expand.
Remember, most businesses have no underlying capacity. The only way you can build an extraordinary business is by leveraging the other opportunities available. It is important to begin building your own network before you get any customers. Consider a few years of starting a business and start collecting a following, learn how to leverage social media in building your business and getting other people to know you. At this stage, you should ask yourself – how am I going to build my audience for my business?
Your audience and customers will be the business’ As a business, it is important to generate profit so that you can create your own infrastructure. Never forget that your product or service needs to satisfy your customers first before it can satisfy you. You must build the system in place before you can sell to the world. This is the main difference between a great entrepreneur and an ordinary one.
4. Stay motivated
When you are focused on what you do, you will achieve extraordinary results. Sometimes, however, people get distracted and lose sight of the end goal. To avoid this you should always remain focused. Making money takes a lot of time and is not something that comes easily. There is nothing in life that comes easily, and nothing in life comes for free. There are costs, and if you are not willing to pay them, then you will not make it in business. You must stay focused on what you are doing and keep moving ahead. You will get the results if you do not stop.
5. Have a simple approach and value relationships
In business, relationships are very important. This is because many people are waiting to pay you for what you do. Of course, this is a positive feedback system that can work as a great motivator for success.
To make this work you must have a great relationship with your customers, customers’ friends, and the client’s friends. These are the people that are willing to give you their time for your services. But beware, there are many people who want to offer you freebies. Remember, no free lunch is worth a trip to hell.
Conclusion
If you want to succeed in business, you must be able to stay focused and be driven in every step of your life. Avoid being distracted by your business so that you can achieve outstanding results and a great career. By taking these five steps, you will soon be on your way to success.

I love the idea of starting something small and building a foundation to expand. To be rich may not be so easy but it is through hard work and perseverance with a good character. And to not depend on a single source of income, most probably.
