Do Not Commit Business Suicide!
When starting a business, the last thing you want is to set yourself up for failure from the beginning. We all aim for financial success and growth, but did you know that over 99% of people who start an internet business fail before even launching?
Common Pitfalls and Misconceptions
While there are countless reasons why most internet businesses struggle, one stands out among the rest: the lack of a solid plan. Let's delve into why this is crucial and how you can avoid this pitfall.
Hard Work vs. Knowledge
Some might think laziness is the culprit. While it's true that lazy individuals rarely succeed, working hard alone isn't enough. Many people work tirelessly yet never progress. The same applies to lack of knowledge. My journey began with a few eBooks and zero experience on eBay. Yet, within a year, I learned everything I needed to know, demonstrating that even without money or expertise, success is possible.
The Importance of Planning
Regardless of your current circumstances?"be it laziness, lack of knowledge, or limited finances?"planning is vital. Without a plan, you’re likely setting yourself up for failure.
Many people panic at the thought of creating a detailed business plan. While a comprehensive plan is beneficial, even starting with a simple outline can make a huge difference. When I began, I only had a pen, paper, and some ideas.
My Journey
I initially saw eBooks selling rapidly on eBay and knew I wanted to enter that market. Despite having no money, products, or knowledge, I crafted a rough plan. I decided to leverage eBay for fast income, which would allow me to establish a legitimate business. Observing other sellers' success, I knew I could build a loyal customer base to transition to a website eventually.
With minimal funds, I launched my website. It wasn’t professional at first, but it was a start. I advertised it to every eBay customer to foster long-term relationships. This strategy turned my small eBay venture into an expanding website with new subscribers daily.
Crafting a Simple Yet Effective Plan
Even a basic two-step plan?"sell on eBay and launch a website?"can be powerful if you have a clear vision. My simple plan allowed me to anticipate needed services, costs, and efforts, helping me focus and achieve my goals realistically.
I still meticulously plan every business move. If you're serious about your business, embrace planning, no matter your current knowledge level.
Getting Started: Key Questions to Ask
To kick-start your planning, consider these questions for each goal or project:
- What do you want to achieve?
- Can you do it alone, or do you need assistance?
- How much time will it take?
- What resources, software, or products are necessary?
- What is the cost?
- What is the potential minimum and maximum revenue?
- Is the time, effort, and money investment worthwhile?
- Can you leverage this for future profits, or is it a one-time opportunity?
