Beginning Your Online Business – Speed of Implementation
Congratulations! It’s a huge step to start your own online business. Besides navigating information overload and the financial aspects, you’ve just made a great investment in you.
“Why in me?” you ask.
Your decision, on a very important level, is you standing up to take control your life. Beginning your online business may become one of the most important growth steps you’ll ever take. You’ll find that many aspects of your character will come up for examination in the process of building your business – knowing first of all that the buck stops with you. It is you who is going to pull off this marketing thing, and realizing that there are really no magic bullets, no easy, breezy floats to the top of the money pile.
Beginning will be your biggest challenge – learning the lay of the internet terrain, the programs available and finding your personal “place.” Do you want to set up a Mini Site or network of Mini Sites? Is affiliate marketing where you belong? Or would you rather supply a service?
Focus will be another huge challenge. There are so many byways and rabbit holes to jump into, you’ll feel like Alice (or Alan) in Wonderland. But it is important to give at least 300% of yourself for whatever amount of time you allot to your IM research, even if it’s only an hour or two daily. Whatever aspect of your online education you undertake, whether it’s writing a sales letter, figuring out the best way to set up your site, or educating yourself on free marketing tools… give it your concentrated focus.
There is nothing casual about internet marketing. You have to know what you want, the kind of customers you want to attract and the type of business associations you want to make. Don’t misunderstand, you can change your direction…but focus on whatever direction you are taking. Concentrate on following that road while you are on it. Falling asleep at the wheel, or “scenic distractions” just won’t cut it.
The common denominator of successful people has been boiled down to three words “Speed of Implementation.” The second you get an idea, run with it, try it out, test it, see if it works. ACT ON IT! AND LEARN FROM YOUR ACTIONS!
Why are 3% of the internet marketers making real money on the net? Because most people sit around and think… should I do this…or that…but if I do, then maybe it will, maybe it won’t, and if this happens….or what if that…. They play the game in their minds, debate with themselves, wonder if that’s really what they want to do, worry if what they want will ever really happen, and they talk themselves out of doing rather than jumping into the arena and taking control of the real learning experience.
A successful painter friend used to say, “If you do the painting in your mind or talk about it long enough, you’ll never have to do it!”
Successful people ACT and LEARN FROM THEIR ACTIONS. They try out their idea and get feed back. They experience the effect.
Once you try it, experience it to really see how it works, you’ll see what skill you lack and need to implement. When you implement, you progress, you get to see results…YOU LEARN!
And once you learn something, go from there. Implement what you learn. If you take a course on list building. Run with it. Set up your autoresponder, Learn how to set up your squeeze page. Don’t mull the lessons over and over. MAKE IT HAPPEN!
YOU LEARN FROM DOING, GETTING FEEDBACK, SEEING THE RESULTS THE ACTION PRODUCED. There are no mistakes, just learning experiences.
You are involved in an intense personal growing process whether you realize it or not. More than a business process, it’s a self-training process. Congratulations and My very best wishes for your success.
