It is estimated that 70,000 people will start a home business today, and 56,000 or 80% those people will be out of business tomorrow. Of the remaining 11,000 only about 1,900 will achieve their business goals. So of the original 70,000 startups, only about 3 percent will be able to take it to the next level. I realize those numbers are disappointing, but those are the facts. If starting a business were easy, we would all be business owners. Now don’t think that the 80% didn’t have the dreams, goals, or a desire to be successful, but something was holding them back.
When you are daring to envision a different life, your biggest obstacle is YOU. Until you can get out of you own way you will only be a spectator in business. We often speak of those who do and don’t, but what is to become of that lost 13 percent of budding entrepreneurs?
This is really the forgotten group or as I like to refer to them to as the diamonds in the rough. These people fly along under the radar putting in hours, forging the plan, attending the seminars, and buying the books. I my years of mentoring I have worked with and helped many people just like this. They are stuck in the planning phase trying to become an expert everything, but accomplishing nothing. Eventually they get so overwhelmed they collapse into the dreaded paralysis by analysis.
It is very difficult to reach and maintain success if you never get out of the planning stage. The best advice I can give you is to put your ideas out on center stage. Without doing this, what are you really hoping to accomplish? Let’s face it some Ideas are bad, and the only way you will know this is to put it out there for others to view. If your ads are not attracting customers then something is wrong. Look, no matter how much you plan around a bad Idea, it is still going to be a bad idea. The longer you work with it the more wind it will take out of your sales.
I can give you a firsthand example of this when I recently had one of the country’s leading authorities on online marketing review my ads, video’s, and landing pages. Now before asked him to look this over, everyone who I had preview my marketing prior to him, loved it. So I was riding high.
Now for reality…
I don’t think the expert looked at my marketing for more than 5 second before he told me it was all crap.
Now you might think this was rude, but this was exactly what I needed. Though my marketing was attracting potential customers, they were not buying and this was not providing me with the return on investment that I wanted. When it was explained, what I was doing wrong, I went back and implemented the suggestions and this really saved me time and money as I was able to make my marketing better. This all happened because I put it out there, and sought the advice of those who knew what was not going to work. Remember you will not be an expert on anything until you work at it long enough and very few people make a CEO income by planning.
In closing, if you are one of the 9100 standing just off stage, this my challenge to you…
STAND CENTER STAGE AND GET NOTICED!
You may experience some failure, but it will bring you closer to your true success.
Have fun and remember success is not an event but a process.
