4 Reasons Why Your Internet Business Will Fail This Year...

Postby JosephRatliff » Thu Mar 13, 2008 10:52 am

Bet you have never had someone tell you that your internet business will fail this year. Guaranteed. Here’s the top 4 reasons why:

* The free mindset. The internet isn’t free unless you don’t place value on your time. If you don’t value your time, then you will run yourself in circles trying to do all of the things that you shouldn’t be doing…and your business will fail.

* Lack of business knowledge or training. That ebook told you that you would make $23,468 in less than 60 days. Don’t believe it, you won’t, unless you have developed and grown a business before…or are extremely gifted or lucky. Those stories you hear of 15 year olds making $60,000 a week, month, year online are few and far in between. If you are just starting out in business, you will likely make many mistakes starting out, just like everyone else. Fail as fast as you can, so you can succeed. These mistakes can be reduced, and the learning curve shortened severely, with a mentor.

*Complex thinking, or over-analysis. There is only one “secret” to marketing, find people that want to buy something, and sell it to them. This is what I call “straight line marketing.” You don’t need anything else. All you have to do is find markets of hungry buyers, create a solution to a problem for those buyers, and provide that solution. If you over-analyze your business, or keep attempting to search for the “secret answer” to marketing…I hate to disappoint you, but there isn’t one.

* Buying ebook after ebook. Educating yourself is important, but only to a point. You can easily wrap yourself up in ebooks sitting on your hard drive, and not taking any action that moves your business forward. It’s addicting to search for the “magic pill” that drives your online business…but it doesn’t exist. Get over it.

There you are, the top 4 reasons your internet business will fail this year. Avoid them, or change your habits…and please, by all means, prove that you will remain in business at the end of 2008.I would love to hear success stories.
