So what is your business model? If you're not clear or 100% happy with what you're doing, now is the time to evaluate.

Don't let the 'dream-stealers,' stop you either. It may be people who are close to you and genuinely love you who are trying to hold you back. That is because they are fearful of change and want you to play it safe. That way they feel they don't have to worry about you.

I believe the reason so many people, women in particular, are now addicted to anti-depressants is because they have suppressed their passion and purpose. If they had clarity I think it's doubtful they'd be depressed.

So what it comes down to is looking closely at your skills and talents. Yes - you have those too. Sometimes you need to dig deep, but there they are, waiting to be discovered.

Then you need to decide how you can bring them to the world by defining your value. Let's say your passion is to write, your next step is to decide which type of writing will fulfil you. This is where you begin to practice the style of writing you want to master, if you haven't already.

Skill and talent alone are not enough. I can sit here all day and think about how I love to write inspiring content and how wonderful it would be to write this guide, but if I don't turn on my laptop and sit my bum down to do it, nothing is going to happen.

Yes indeed; it's the same for all of us. You're not alone. We all need to practice and you need to pinpoint your passion and purpose so that you can begin to practice right away.

That now leads us into the final step which is mastery. Mastery is where it all comes together for you because you have practiced your chosen craft for 10,000 hours.

Don't let this frighten you. You can make money and achieve success long before you've done 10,000 hours but 10,000 hours is where you are headed if you want to play really big.

Malcolm Gladwell in his fascinating book, 'Outliers,' explains how it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become a world class expert in anything.

If you're not happy and fulfilled most of the time then the chances are that you are probably not aligned with your purpose.

Don't let it stop you from moving ahead. As you're reading this guide you already have enough ideas to move forward. Make sure to go through the whole guide and you'll find that your intuition starts to speak back to you. You'll get those AHA moments by immersing yourself in this process.

I've been looking for my purpose for years and it's actually been under my nose the whole time but I wasn't quite ready to step into it. I couldn't define it. With two young children I couldn't see exactly how I could do it. It might be the same for you so be patient with yourself but step out with faith in the right direction.

Don't use not yet knowing your purpose as an excuse not to take action. It will fall into place for you as you take the first steps.

It is critical for your success mindset that you become very clear and committed to what you're doing. Throughout the chapters in this guide I'm going to explain to you exactly what to do to create your online expert presence using the powerful new tools of the internet.

The modules and assignments of 'The Niche Expert,' can be applied for any product or service-based business, but are especially relevant for the business model where you create your own entrepreneurial success blueprint.

You can use the strategies in this guide to get the word out about your business, gain clients, attract publicity for your services and products, and to build relationships with influential people in your field.

Social Media is here to stay so the quicker you learn to use it effectively the greater chance you have of becoming an expert in your niche.

The majority of business owners are doing it all wrong online, so buckle up and I'll show you how to position yourself so that the right people are drawn magnetically towards what you have to offer, just by being yourself.

What a relief!
