Begin to put down on paper what your blog will look like
September 8th 2009 10:31
Most people start online and they just want to get their blog up but i read recently that 90% of new online businesses fail in less than 6 months.... can you imagine that. Less than 6 months into a business and the person has given up. I think what is even worse than that is the fact that many people try for years without any success.
Why does that happen?
Well usually because they get frustrated. Many are promised instant results and when it doesn't happen they throw in the towel. Those people didn't deserve to make it anyway and neither do you if you are going to give up at the first hurdle. No one who achieves financial freedom did it by giving up when things got rough.
The recession has thrown a huge curve ball for me in my business but now things are picking up again and I am more determined than ever to ensure I have strong reserves and a continuing cycle of great material to sell online so that even if my consultancy works dries up I will always have my online information business and blogs.
It is important that you develop the mindset to succeed online
You can optimize the possibility of success by:
1. Having a good solid business plan in place BEFORE you launch your online business. There is an old saying: “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail”. A detailed set of plans for success needs to be made. You need to have the steps from getting from point A to point B listed in great detail that include realistic cost estimates for accomplishing each step.
2. Expecting to work very hard to accomplish your goals. You must never expect anything to be easy. You will be right most of the time because things are rarely as easy as they look. Each step toward success requires work, time and patience. Sometimes things don’t work out right on the first try. You have to be willing to try again and again until you do succeed.
3. Not falling for ‘get-rich-quick schemes. The internet woods are full of those who prey upon those who are looking for quick and easy ways to become rich. Those ways do not exist. Get over thinking that there is an easy way. There is NOT.
Remember those statistics! Ninety percent of all new internet businesses fail within 6 months. You don’t have to be part of that majority. You can become a part of that 10% minority of successful internet business enterprises.
