Why People Fail to Succeed in Online Business

The main reason people fail at online business is said to be because they quit too soon, without giving it a fair chance. The underlying reasons for this are that they (a) Believe there is some sort of magic about the Internet that will allow them to succeed by osmosis; (b) Want something for nothing, meaning they are not willing to really work at it. (c) Do not actually have a realistic plan of action that includes investing their time and effort; (d) Do not treat it seriously as they would a job.

Let’s examine each of these things in a little more depth.

(a) Belief in magic. It is true that some terminology may lead someone to feel that things will be a lot easier and faster than they really are. This is where normal people should employ whatever common sense and logic they may have. Understand that the statements are addressed to the public at large. There is a broad spectrum ranging from those with skills, resources and previous experience, all the way to people brand new to the Internet, computers and/or sales and marketing.

Many statements are telling us that it is POSSIBLE – and it is POSSIBLE for the first group who have experience. Does this say it is IMPOSSIBLE without it? No, not at all, but being realistic, they will need to accept that fact that they have to learn and get some experience in order for the eventuality of success to happen for them. If they are willing and able to accept this then they have a chance to succeed with an online business.

(b) Something for nothing. People may feel that they are doing all they need to do by joining an affiliate program and paying the monthly dues. However if nothing else is done to promote the business after that then it is the same as doing nothing. Having a link with an ID does absolutely nothing without promoting it aggressively by marketing and advertising.

Yet some people feel entitled to everyone else doing everything for them and they just sit back and wait for the money to roll in. They have a very long wait because without their active participation nothing will ever happen. They are very willing to accept anything that is free which is meant to help them get started. If they don’t see anything tangible at the end of the trial period they are out of there, often with very unkind things to say about the program when it did not produce magical results for them instantly.

The correct attitude for someone who is sincerely trying to start a business would be gratitude for the opportunity, and a real effort to make proper use of the resources that were shared with them in good faith. They need to understand reality and the fact that nobody achieves wealth without work other than lottery winners and heirs to fortunes. If it seems so effortless for the ‘guru’s with their sensational stories, you are not reading the part where they struggled uphill for years to achieve what they have now.

It is true some don’t elaborate on that so you have to be realistic in your own thinking to be sure you are not mislead. An important thing to realize is they were for the most part not born with ‘a silver spoon in their mouth’ – had no special privileges or superior intelligence – and they don’t owe you anything even if they did – other than to honor their promises and guarantees.

(c) A realistic plan. This would include having a definite business plan just in so far as what exactly you need to learn to do. You need to define in detail the whats, whens, hows and whys. What exact steps you need to take to do all the necessary things in conducting a professional business. Do you have what you need to do that? If not take steps to find out how to get it.

(d) Do not treat it seriously. You must be disciplined and focused if you want to achieve anything with your online business. You have to stay motivated even though you may not see any results at first. Just because you can work on your own time schedule does not mean skip it or put it off until ‘tomorrow’. You need to include a work schedule in your plan and be committed to it. Then work it out.

Why More People Don’t Succeed at Internet Marketing

There is a really good saying to always keep in mind: ‘You can’t fail unless you quit’. One other that goes with that is ‘The road to success is littered with failures’. ‘They’ also say that the reason only 5% succeed is for no other reason than 95% quit Internet marketing too soon.

They quit without even trying, or they quit too soon when they don’t see instant results. It does cost a little money to operate a business, so that is one reason people are in such a big rush… Some expect to get the money by osmosis without doing anything to promote it.

Hello what planet are you from? This one it is pretty much the case that you need to work to earn ‘a living’. Other than inheriting money or winning the lottery, there is no such thing as instant wealth or wealth without work. Yes! Even in Cyberspace! Somebody has to do the work someplace so that all the gears turn and we can ‘enjoy life’ on the Internet.

Anybody who is seriously imagining the idea of earning an income from their Internet marketing home business must realize the ‘survivalist’ mindset. They absolutely should never allow themselves to even entertain a futilistic attitude about the state of their Internet marketing projects; (to build an income online independently from home). It takes TIME like everything else in reality!

Remember always that no matter how many times we try and fail, not to ever give up. Let all failures only be lessons and if we are paying attention we can really do this with very little money and in our spare time. That is the recommended way to start a business, so that you have an income to survive on while you are building and developing your company. It’s an excuse for a mini-celebration just to imagine the day you will fire your boss, or quit your day job! Start practicing now.

If someone is telling you they were able to achieve or accomplish some level of income, etc, that may be an indication that it is indeed possible for you to do that as well. They can’t promise that your trip will be the same as theirs, and there is no rule to say how long it will take you to do the same thing they did, or how much money it is POSSIBLE for you to make in order to succeed in Internet marketing today. Nobody is responsible except you, for how well you TRY and how far you succeed!

It’s all about the level of commitment, engagement, determination and mindset that drives us and dictates our level of effort to succeed with our Internet marketing business. With all that said, you need to give it time. Time for the learning curve, time to implement the start-up, time for ongoing analysis and maintenance; and then of course there are times of acceleration for purposes of expansion. Only then you have earned the right to declare you are running your business on ‘autopilot’ and you can step off and have some fun with all your money!
