If you define yourself as an entrepreneur and work for yourself, running your business in an area which brings you much joy may encourage you to develop the mindset of it being a hobby rather than a career.

This is so quickly done when you find yourself doing what you love daily, especially when people around you tell you how lucky you are!

However, if you want to sustain your business model and continue to earn a reasonable profit from it, you do need to change your mindset long-term to accommodate this new career path. Here are a few simple ways in which you can do this:

1. 1. Commit 100% To Your Business
      To run any successful business, you need commitment and focus to make it successful. This means not sitting around and waiting for inspiration to strike but instead getting out there and working as hard ass you possibly can to make a profit.
   2. Focus on Making a Profit
      Though a steady income will take time to build, by referring to and seeing what you do as a business, rather than a hobby, you change your mindset and force yourself to commit and focus on making money. Only when you’ve made money for a while will you really start to see what you can actually do with your business.
   3. Continue to Set Goals
      If you want your business to grow, you have to implement goals and a strategy for how you will accomplish this. All companies, no matter what type, need vision and all business owners need ambition. If this is a path which you wish to stay on and make a rewarding profit long-term, then you need to be one step ahead of how you can bring in profit to ensure your business survives the distance.
