Most people dream of financial independence on a daily basis. They wonder how they can create a full time income with their own home based business so they can walk away from the 9 to 5 daily grind and take control of their own destiny. Unfortunately these dreams go unfulfilled 95% of the time for a variety of reasons with the main one being failure to take action.
This applies particularly to online home businesses when individuals sometimes have the whole procedure laid out for them step-by-step yet they still fail to put the process in place so they can make money from the comfort of their own home and fire their boss. There are also a variety of reasons why people do nothing even though they have a mentor, they’ve paid for the system to get them where they want to be and they have the budget to get them there.
When this is the case why don’t people take the action necessary to succeed even though they want it so badly they can taste it? This article outlines 4 explanations for this failure to make an attempt at succeeding online when you have the resources to do so:
1. One of the biggest excuses I hear for this failure to take action is self doubt on behalf of the potential business person. Most people, when faced with a new challenge, have feelings of doubt about their ability to succeed with their new endeavor especially if they experience set backs early in the process.
The key to overcoming these feelings is to not let them consume your thought process. In other words you must stay positive even when you’re faced with negative results. We must learn from our mistakes while pressing forward toward our goals with the attitude that we will accomplish what we set out to do no matter what set backs we may encounter along the way.
2. Fear of failure is another leading cause of this inaction by hopeful home business owners online. People, more often than not, let one failure sabotage their whole Internet marketing strategy. If you’re intent on pursuing this type of lifestyle there’s one thing you must understand from the outset: “You are going to experience failure along the way.”
However we mustn’t let one or even a series of disappointments defeat us and keep us from reaching our goals. The secret is to learn from these results to ensure we don’t repeat them and then move on toward our reaching our prime objectives.
3. Listening to the nay Sayers and negative individuals who have nothing positive to contribute about your attempts to make it on your own and become an independent business person can stand in the way of you reaching your goals if you allow it. Most people believe when you tell them you work from home that you don’t have a real job or you must be unemployed.
They don’t seem to be able to grasp the idea of being able to make a living on the Internet and they will tell you at every opportunity that it isn’t possible and you should get a real job. I guess the old adage “misery loves company” is true and these people who aren’t happy with their own lives don’t want anyone escaping the 9 to 5 trap they’ve become a prisoner of because they can’t see any way out. Avoid these people like the plague and stay positive and focused on achieving your dreams.
4. Finally, some people believe they can do it entirely on their own. Internet marketing is like any other offline business endeavor in that networking with the right people is a very important aspect of achieving success. No one knows everything especially when you’re just starting out on the web; so it’s a good idea to surround yourself with people who have achieved what you want to accomplish and who know how to get there.
Never be afraid to ask for help online if you’re stuck with some aspect of your Internet marketing campaign or if you’re stalled on some technical facet of your strategy. The Internet marketing forums and home business chat rooms are great places to network and to get to know people who are in the know.
By avoiding these 4 obstacles on the road to your online home business success you will improve your odds of reaching your goals immensely and you’ll finally be able to live the life of freedom you now only dream about.
