The Mission…

Entrepreneur:

(noun: someone who starts their own business, especially when this involves risks; risk-taking businessperson; a person who organizes and manages a business, assuming the risk for the sake of the profit; One who creates a product on his own account, a creative perfectionist; A person starting a new company who takes on the risks associated with starting the enterprise, which may require venture capital to cover start-up costs;)


The Mission:

TheOneManMission is an ongoing journey, told with an insirational flavour – to help you start, plan and launch a website successfully.

The name ‘The One Man Mission’ is to emphasise  the modern day success stories we hear about every day about one person who owns a hugely-profitable website of some sort, and probably run it from their bedroom.  Anyone can do this, and you can do it all… by yourself.

My mission (and I’ve chosen to accept it!) is to become a successful online business owner through self-education and self-drive alone.  Why?  Because I personally think that every skill required to start an online company can be sought and learnt from various resources across the web and put into action.  I actually think that  anyone can be a success … IF they want it bad enough.  I’ll show you how I aim to get it in this how-to guide.

TheOneManMission will cover every aspect of building a business from scratch.  The success, the pitfalls, the stresses, the achievements; I aim to blog wherever I can, adding little tips of what I researched to help my web business launch, then grow.

What makes this all the more interesting  is the fact that I have ZERO computer-programming qualifications to help me.  I didn’t  go to technology school like MIT or Oxford.  I am a freelance web designer and all self-taught.  I started building websites for fun. A hobby.   It then developed into creating websites for businesses of all types, and now I am here to pass information to you all, helping anyone who wants a successful website.

It will be exciting and I’ll ensure it’s content-rich, so join me on this journey as I embark on the One Man Mission…

    I found your name from a comment you left on Inc.com. I visited your web-site and your idea sounds interesting. What sets you apart from other web designers?

    I’m always interested in meeting other entrepreneurs and people in general.

    My best,

    @ Stephen

    Well, I’m aiming to do this alone instead of having a team of designers behind me.

    The whole point of this blog really is to show anyone who’s thinking about starting an online business what they need to consider and why.

    The whole emphasis is to not just build a website, but to encompass every aspect of making it work once it’s built. That’s where the hard work comes in.

    That could be Launching it online and off-line with PR, constant seo to ensure that keywords and titles are in-line with the target audience/competitors, constantly testing it to maintain optimum results etc.

    From what I have found, your website could be the best thing online (which is hard enough to do), but without any marketing or seo behind it (in any format), it will be lost in the abyss that is the www.

    This blog will pick up vital tit-bits from various sources and will aim to hopefully educate people on how they can do just that, with little or no experience.

Have your say
