What is Defeating Your Business?

When you began your business did you think, ‘Gee, I hope I am a miserable failure, and never get my business off the ground’? Of course not. You had dreams of a booming business with numerous customers, and steady cash flow. So what are the mistakes an entrepreneur can make that will knock the legs out from under the business?

First and foremost don’t be an eager beaver and try to do everything at once. If you are getting advice from an online self acclaimed guru, make sure you are getting solid advice.

If they are telling you to do everything at once, they are probably giving you false information. The trick is to know good information from the false. If you are getting advice that says you can become wealthy over night, or do this or that and you will receive a thousand dollars in the mail the next day. It is most in likely false information. A ‘guru’ trying to make his own over night wealth, on the dreams of online marketers.

Pie in the sky claims are the first clue you are getting bamboozled. There is only one true way to make your business prosperous, and that is the investment of your hard work. You will get out of it what you put into it. Hard work, passion, persistence will reap business growth.

Another business assassin is not taking time to research. If you are opening a business to sell banana’s to monkeys you better research how monkeys like their bananas. Get around the net looking into competitions websites. Find what will make it easiest for your customers to shop your business. Make it possible for your demographic to see how you operate. Give your customers what they want, and your competitor some real competition. You snag every consumer out there, but with a little research you can make it hard for them to pass our what you have to offer.

Remember quantity verses quality, quality always wins. You don’t have to sell all your product at dirt cheap prices, but you don’t have to sell it for a kings ransom either. If you are providing value, for a reasonable price you will find that your repeat customer base is growing. It takes a lot to get a client to your website, so you want to offer them something they will keep coming back for. What kind of customer service will you have waiting for the consumer? Will you correspond with your new client through auto responders, blogs ,email, or ezines? What will you use to show your client you are the most attentive, honest online marketer around? This is something to have planned out before designing a website.

If you throw yourself into designing your website without the proper tools, you are injuring your business before it even gets a name! You need the right tools for every job. To design a website you need your own domain name, a web host, a service you can prophet from, and finally a way to bring traffic to your website. These are the building blocks to your online business. With out them your business will fail.

The key to true success it work. If you put in the time, and effort you can avoid the pitfalls of business failure. Anyone who tells you it will be easy to start a business and make it successful is probably the self acclaimed guru with an agenda. Trust your instincts, do the research, and work hard, you will see your business build upon itself day by day.
