How do I know if an Online Business is for me?
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.” - Steve Jobs
Do you wonder if an online business is for you?
Do you ever catch yourself scrolling and wondering how others are making a living online, from anywhere in the world? Maybe you're curious, but unsure if it's something you could actually do too.
You're not alone. That question sparked everything for me. But instead of ignoring it, I leaned in and got honest with myself. So if that thought has been sitting in the back of your mind...
Here are 8 questions you need to ask yourself before considering working online. 👊
1. Do I want more freedom in where I work?
Be honest with yourself for a second. Do you ever daydream about working from a sunny terrace, a quiet beach, or even just your cozy living room, without asking permission for time off? That desire for freedom is there for a reason. It’s not about being lazy or unrealistic, it’s about wanting more from life. An online business can give you the flexibility to work wherever you feel most alive and in flow.
2. Am I feeling stuck or unfulfilled in my current job?
If you’ve ever felt like you’re meant for more than just waking up, working, and repeating... I see you. That stuck feeling isn’t something to ignore. It's a sign. So many of us were taught that we should just be “grateful” for a stable job, but deep down we crave work that lights us up. An online business can be a way to build something that feels aligned, not draining. Something that excites you to get out of bed.
3. Am I willing to learn new skills to create a different future?
Let me tell you something real... I didn’t know how to do any of this when I started. Not the systems, not the marketing, not even how to speak confidently about what I do. But I was willing to learn. That’s all you need.
No one has it all figured out in the beginning. If you’re coachable and ready to grow, this world has space for you.
4. Do I want a career that aligns with my values and lifestyle?
You shouldn’t have to choose between earning money and staying true to who you are. If you care about things like health, sustainability, travel, or making a difference, why not build something around that? An online business gives you the chance to earn in a way that reflects your values. You’re not just “selling something”, you’re showing up as you, building something with meaning.
5. Am I ready to build something long-term, not just quick money?
This journey isn’t about overnight success & honestly, that’s a good thing. The “get rich quick” mindset just leads to burnout and disappointment. What you’re building here is a foundation. Something sustainable. Something that grows with you. It takes time and intention, but if you’re looking for long-term change and financial freedom that feels good, you’re in the right place.
6. Do I want more flexibility in my daily schedule?
Imagine waking up and choosing what your day looks like. No rushing to beat traffic. No clocking in for someone else’s dream. Just freedom. Working online gives you the space to live your life. Want to start your mornings slow with a walk or journaling?
Need to travel or take a midweek break? You can. You get to design your days around your energy, not the other way around.
7. Does the idea of working online excite or inspire me?
If you’ve been following people who live the laptop lifestyle and you feel something spark inside, that’s your intuition speaking. Inspiration is a powerful clue.
It’s not about copying someone else’s path. It’s about realising that your own version of freedom is possible too. When something excites you, it’s worth exploring. That little spark of curiosity? It could be the beginning of something life-changing. Don’t brush it off just because it feels unfamiliar...
Your dream life will always ask you to grow into it.
8. What’s truly holding me back from starting an online business?
Let’s get real here. Is it fear? Not knowing where to start? Worrying what people will think? Those are all normal, I felt them too.
But what changed everything for me was choosing courage over comfort. You don’t have to know every step right now. You just have to be open to learning.
There are communities (like mine!) and systems that guide you. You’re never alone in this.
Is your heart telling you this could be the next step?
Then it’s a sign you’re ready to explore something new, something that gives you more freedom, purpose, and control over your future.
