The online entrepreneur struggle is REAL. All the hyped-up talk about living the beach lifestyle is misleading. It’s not like that. It’s not even close.
But it’s definitely possible. In fact, I have friends who do live like that.
But it took a LOT of hard work, a lot of sacrifices, and a lot of sleepless nights to get there.
It’s not cool and sexy to talk about how difficult the journey is. So you don’t hear about the struggles much.
Nor do you hear about what those struggles can do to you if you don’t find the success you want.
So yes, you can live that way and have the location freedom that marketers talk about.
But just know it’s a lot harder than it looks.
On a whim, I decided to hop on Facebook and ask entrepreneurs if it was easier to build and offline business or an online business.
Below are a few of their responses…
Interesting… right?
Well, since we are talking a bit of reality…
I wanted to share the interview I did with Ken Allen. Ken is an entrepreneur who has been running an offline tennis business for years to talk about his transition into the online world and what it’s been like.
I wanted to dive deep with him and actually get him to share his true experience.
That way you can hear what a successful entrepreneur went through when diving into the world of the interwebz.
And in the interview, Ken didn’t hold back. In fact, he went really deep.
He opened up and shared some really vulnerable parts about his online experience that he doesn’t normally share.
He did this just so you could see what it was like for him.
Now, just like any good story, this one has a happy ending.
But it took years and years of ups and downs, and challenges before Ken found something that not only works but is fulfilling.
So if you’ve got an offline business and are looking to dive into the online world…
Or if you are having a tough time getting your online biz going…
You’ll probably want to listen in to what Ken has to say about his online entrepreneur struggle. That way you can avoid some of the same situations that he faced.
