All of us run head on into roadblocks when we’re starting an online business. It’s part of the dues we pay when we decide to make a better life for ourselves, and our families.
On every worthwhile journey we must prove that we’re worthy of the success we seek.
But the online world of marketing is crowded with individuals who claim to be gurus trying to sell you a system for business success that they used to make their fortunes. Some of these individuals are legitimate. They truly did use their self-created techniques to make healthy livings, and realize success. Or they used a system designed by another successful marketer, and it works.
The problem is more often than not the “guru” who’s trying to sell you the latest program or process for business building never actually used what he’s selling. Any money this person ever made comes from marketing business tools, and she/he has no idea if the tools work.
So the beginner buys this tool, finds out it won’t work for her or him, and buys the next tool to come along. It’s an ongoing cycle of failure because the tools they buy are worthless.
Or if they do work there are steps left out of the product that success of the tool relies on.
The real result is that the person starting an online business greets failure after failure with nothing but empty pockets to show for the effort.
We all buy our share of success killers. I have a hard drive populated with business-building tools that did nothing more than waste my time, and money. They build up over time, handing you one frustration after another.
You need tools to build your business to success, but you need tools that actually work. You need tools that anyone can use in their business (no matter what kind of business they start).
Legitimate business building systems, processes, and tools are available for our use. And they’ll work for you if you take the actions necessary to make them work for you.
The problem is how do you find those useful tools when you’re first starting your online business?
It’s not an easy problem to solve because you don’t know who to trust. You see so many advertisements about this system, or that tool, and that process that guarantees to make you a successful online entrepreneur. And when you read those ads they all sound so convincing, don’t they?
No one can be absolutely certain that they’re getting the right tool with their first time purchase from a particular marketer. When you’re first starting out it’s a cross-your-fingers-and-hope kind of thing.
But you must trust somebody some time to give you the truthful information, and the useful tools, you need, or you won’t find any kind of success with your business.
I recommend that before you buy from anyone you get to know that person. Study her or him. Find the marketer that gives you one of those warm and fuzzy feelings. Be sure you can learn something of business building value from the individual before dragging out the credit card.
Legitimate marketers put lots of educational information on their websites. Before you buy anything from them they give you opportunities to learn how to start toward success. As you see progress along your path to business success you can start trying out the tools they make available. Test them. Legitimate marketers give you money back guarantees with their products. If it don’t work ask for a refund. And if need be go look for somebody else.
Look for reviews about the tool or product before you commit. See what other users say, how it worked for them.
If you get positive information about the product, and the marketer teaches you information of value that helps you toward your desired destination stick with them. You’ll encounter fewer roadblocks along your road to success when you find the right mentor.
Do your due diligence. Sample the offerings, and make sure they help you get started. Make sure you feel right about the individual, and then consider the product.
That will help you avoid those success killers when you’re starting an online business.
