“Why Am I Here?”
You’re here because of that still, small voice whispering that you could be living the life you really want….. and it just doesn’t go away, right? You want something more and often find yourself day-dreaming about what that life could look and FEEL like if you could only use your talents and harness your passions.
So, how long have you been wanting to turn your creative ideas into a sustainable income, or create the financial independence to achieve the lifestyle you dream about? Probably years, if you’re anything like I was – but is it the right time to start your own online business in 2025? Are you ready to step into your full potential now?
I’m Jo Bates from Warrior Women Hope and below, I’m sharing with you, the 5 signs that were present when I recognized it was absolutely the RIGHT TIME FOR ME!
Researching & reading about online businesses showed me how much potential there was to grow financially & live the life I dreamed about – I just wasn’t sure I was ready.
How ironic is it that I needed to be aware of these exact 5 Signs… because it would’ve helped me to decide much sooner!
But I didn’t have that – so for me, it was only after having a terrifying cancer diagnosis that I had my “aha moment” & knew I wanted to live my best life now – one I could be proud of no matter what tomorrow might bring. It was clear – I HAD TO MAKE A DECISION!
Now, let’s help you decide…
The 5 Signs To Know if You’re Ready To Take The Next Step & Start Your Dream Online Business in 2025!
THE 5 SIGNS…
#1. Longing & Discontent Are Never Far Away
If you find yourself daydreaming out of the window about a different daily routine, a different job, more financial stability or a totally different life altogether – it’s time to re-evaluate. That feeling of discontent that creeps back in regularly is a good sign that you need to take charge of your life and find the key to your version of success.
YOU know you want to make that change but you’re not sure how to go about it, right? First – you have to imagine it – this is your dream and nobody can dream that dream for you; get very clear about what it is you really want and visualize in detail, every day, how you want that life to look and feel.
I was in your shoes not so very long ago but I made it a priority to find the best tried-and-tested blueprint for online success out there…and I found it – so keep reading!
A note of caution:
Longing & Discontent are healthy signs that you’re ready to develop new skills and awareness so that you can bring the change you desire – but this shouldn’t be confused with a major life event or upheaval that requires you to move past it first before even considering starting a business. You need to be in a reasonably good place emotionally, for the challenges that your business will bring – both to you personally and for those around you.
That said…..
Don’t Wait For A Crisis Before Taking The Plunge
Like you, I’ve faced my fair share of struggles & challenges – but cancer was a life-changer for me and it could easily have sent me into a downward spiral that meant I would never see the life I dreamed of. Thankfully, I’m not wired that way & I’m so grateful that I had the right support to help me through. Life is too short not to go for what you want!
I knew I had something more of value to give – just like you know you have more to offer but have felt limited by the limitations of your current situation – but you haven’t given up – or you wouldn’t be reading this. Sadly, it often takes a major life event like mine to ‘push‘ people into action & give them the resolve to just MAKE THAT DECISION. DON’T LET THAT BE YOU!
#2. You’re Driven By A Strong Desire For Freedom
You’re not just craving more money—you’re seeking freedom in all aspects of your life: financial freedom, time freedom, and the freedom to live life on your own terms. Whether it’s being able to buy your dream home, provide for your aging parents, give your kids a head start or simply have the space to breathe and focus on what matters to you most – you long for a future where you have control over your time. You’re not alone; more and more people are choosing a different way to earn their money in the booming, digital economy that’s growing year on year – and it won’t stop!
You know deep down that financial stability is important, but you also understand that true wealth is all about having the freedom to do what you love, spend time with the people you care about and make some kind of a real difference in this life! It’s about YOUR VERSION of Success!
Talking of success…if you want to jump ahead and see the average monthly income that affiliates are earning…click here:
What is an affiliate?
Affiliate = the simplest way to start online – you post promotional information (images and text often supplied by the company) onto blogs, ads, social media and other marketing platforms. You are given a unique affiliate ID which is connected to every link that you put out there. When a buyer clicks YOUR link, you get a commission on that purchase – anywhere from 5%-60% – & on ‘high-ticket’ purchases, this can be a commission of hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

How to Know You’re Ready:
- You want to escape the scarcity mindset that has held you back for so long.
- You crave flexibility to create your own schedule and build a business that fits your lifestyle.
- You feel that your time is valuable—and that any time away from something you love, whether that’s family or your creative ideas and passions, is time you’ll never get back.
That clear vision of your dream life – doesn’t have to be perfect); despite being constantly reminded of what you DON’T WANT; maybe it’s the long commutes twice a day or not being paid your worth & that feeling that you’re always chasing things but can’t quite get there – HOLD THAT THOUGHT….because for change to happen, the next sign (#3) is a key factor in it all.
#3. You’re Willing To Learn New Skills (Even if it’s Outside Your Comfort Zone Or You ‘Failed’ Before!)
DON’T WORRY! You Don’t Have To Be A Tech Wizard To Succeed Online

What’s more important, is your willingness to learn; before I started, I had limited tech skills relevant to my job, but nothing special – what I have learned, is that when you commit to growing your skill set, you feel more confident and equipped to handle the challenges that inevitably come with building your online business. You become a more capable person – willing to meet things head on and find solutions through resourcefulness; in other words, you’re growing your resilience...and that can positively impact other aspects of your life – sounds good, right?
How to Know You’re Ready:
- You’re excited about learning new skills, even if it’s something you’ve never done before.
- You know in your heart that your creativity & passion can be turned into a profitable business
- You’re open to guidance, mentorship, and support from people who have already been on the same journey and successfully navigated it.
If you’ve tried to build a business in the past and failed, you might feel worried about jumping back in; maybe you’ve tried selling on platforms like Amazon or launching a product, but you didn’t see the results you expected – well, I tried that too – & it didn’t work for me at that time either, so I know it’s easy to feel disheartened…
…but failure isn’t the end—it’s part of the process & you will have learned some useful skills that shouldn’t be wasted; you put the time in so wouldn’t it be good to make it count for something?
When you frame what you’ve thought of as ‘failure’, as a learning opportunity rather than a setback, it can become the foundation of your future growth & success; just like when we were children and learned to walk, talk, kiss and read (not necessarily in that order :-)) We stumble and fall…but we get back up again. It’s just HOW WE LEARN! We don’t give up!
If you want to see what made me lose my doubts and fears, just click the blue button (I’ll need your email to send you the info) & you will see just how profitable this blueprint can be…& how your life can be forever different…
I do get it though – starting an online business can feel daunting at first but once I decided and took that very first step – it got easier because a deciding to create something better instead of just wishing for it, gives us greater opportunity to grow – to become who we’re capable of being:
- live a life that feels honest & true
- build a future you’re really excited about
- unlock a new source of financial freedom
- create a worthwhile and profitable legacy for your family
Commitment is the number #1 factor in the success of any business, online or otherwise & whether you dream of having your own product, offer online classes you’re passionate about, want to create an online community or simply promote other companies’ products as an affiliate, you need to be sure that now is the right time …and you’ll be happy to know that the latest statistics show that we’re in THE AGE OF THE DIGITAL GOLDRUSH.

THERE IS NO BETTER TIME!
Don’t Take My Word For It – See For Yourself:

According to Chris Haines at ahrefsblog – if you choose to promote other companies’ products as an affiliate, (NOTE: this is the simplest & fastest way to get up and running online) then this is the average, monthly income being achieved in 2024 by affiliates in the most profitable business areas (niches):

N.B. Affiliate marketing requires particular skills and no income is guaranteed.
Those figures look pretty good, don’t they? But the real, longterm success that those numbers represent isn’t built with a ‘quick-fix’ mindset and a ‘get-rich-quick‘ course that promises a 6-figure income in weeks. Why? Because more often than not, they’re missing important foundations and hands-on support further down the line – just when you need it most. In truth, the most successful online businesses are founded on something called ‘AUTHORITY MARKETING’ which I’ll talk more about later but for now…
Let’s dive further into the 5 signs…
#4. You’ve Considered All The Potential Costs: Including What It Will Cost YOU If You Do Nothing
There are different costs to consider and although start up costs can be advertised as ”zero investment’ you are likely to get no useful training or support – especially further down the line. There are thousands of ‘quick-fix’ scams that lack the integrity and structure that an experiential learning environment can give you. Understanding your business from the ground up is key to success & understanding what drives YOU is key to your happiness.
Anything worth having involves some kind of investment; usually time or money. No-one wants to waste their hard-earned cash, so finding what’s right for you is important – but there is another cost – what is the cost of giving up on your dreams? So, how can you make sure that neither of those things happen… Don’t GO IT ALONE! That was my biggest mistake in 2014 with my first attempt at an online business – I didn’t have the right support; I’d put in a lot of hours (and money) to make it work. I’d sourced a product from China, set up distribution (sometimes called ‘fulfillment’) and sold over 100 units but I hadn’t built the right foundations to sustain it & it just didn’t feel right – it wasn’t really ‘me‘ – so I stopped.
Most of us, start our online business alongside our current jobs and there are a couple of things to look out for:
- starting as a sideline (that’s what I did) you have income while you LEARN TO EARN which takes the pressure off – and we all need that
- No-risk, 30-day money-back guarantees
The ‘No Risk’ concession is a strong indication of integrity and best practice; they’re confident in the results they can deliver, if the commitment is there – and my step-by-step blueprint has all that covered – I could even keep all the resources after the 30 days.
Fast forward 10 years from when I tried selling online and the cost to my health and family of living a life of financial uncertainty was always nagging away at me, so I’d never given up hope that there was an online business that was right for me – and thankfully, on another internet trawl for opportunities, I discovered Stuart. At last, I’d found someone perfectly placed to help me avoid the pitfalls of a new online business & show me the power and profitability of AUTHORITY MARKETING in action.
Stuart has built multiple 6-figure online businesses and has 15 years of experience in getting this right – he knows how to succeed!
Over the last few years, he created the blueprint for success that has thousands of people now living the lives they dreamed of and many more that are well on their way – including me…want to see the exact same video workshops that got me started? Just pop your email in below & you’ll be taken to the welcome video with Stuart and also receive x3 more videos absolutely FREE so that you can get a much better understanding of online business basics & know if it’s really for you.
Stuart will also introduce you to: “Secrets Of The Modern Wealthy” – a jam-packed, downloadable eBook that guides you through the twists and turns of his own journey and how he navigated his way to over $100 million dollars earned in his affiliate and e-commerce businesses. For a limited period, you can get your hands on this little gem for only $37 – and if you don’t get tons of value from it – you can have a 30-day, money-back guarantee – so there’s absolutely NO RISK to finding out more…if it’s not for you, just send us an email within the 30 days and you’ll have a full refund… AND YOU CAN KEEP THE RESOURCES – if you’re serious about changing your life, I’d say that’s an offer you can’t refuse.
The last sign is probably the one that will change your life…or not…
#5. You’re Ready To Take Action (It Doesn’t Have To Be Perfect!)
Perfectionism is one of the biggest killers of dreams. If you’re waiting for the perfect time or the perfect plan…you may never get started. When I realised this, it was a big deal because I’m a natural ‘tweaker’ & crave certainty & assurance but life rarely gives us certainty – and what we DO have, is an incredible ability to ADAPT!
The reality is, action is the catalyst for change. If you’re willing to take imperfect steps and adapt along the way, you’ll make progress faster than you think and learn one of the top secrets of successful people – to take decisions in the presence of fear – not the absence of fear because that’s what keeps us ‘locked in’ to our current circumstances – it’s a new practice that can be uncomfortable when you first start – but action-taking is a key characteristic of all successful people. So has my checklist helped you – will you be part of the next generation of inspirational entrepreneurs in 2025?
Fear is “the border-guard of the reality we’ve known” is a quote from Mary Morrissey, respected Personal Development Coach – and if we want to change our reality – our thinking has to change first and we must act.
You may have a burning desire already but you don’t need to know what your passion is or if you want to sell a product because the blueprint that I went through, allows you to find out through a proven system exactly where you are aligned.
Conclusion: Are You Ready To Take The Leap?
As American writer and professor of literature, Joseph Campbell, once said, “The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”
If these five signs resonate with you, even a little, then you’re likely to be more than ready to start your online business – how long have you been wanting this change? The journey will require courage, dedication, and a willingness to learn new skills – but the potential rewards—freedom, financial independence, and the opportunity to make a positive difference in the world are just one step away…and if not now…
At Warrior Women Hope, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. If you’re ready to create a business that not only has the potential to provide for you & your family but also aligns with your deepest values and passions, then now is the time to take that first step.
