Planning For Your Business
The
Philosophy of the Internet Newbie
The newbie was told that
millions are being made on the Internet and you can
too. They were told that they could build a business
for a fraction of the cost of a traditional
business. They were told, “The Money's in the List.”
They are of the mentality that they can build a
lucrative legitimate Internet business with no
infusions of capital.
Newbies are being told that
they can build an Internet business with little
knowledge or experience. The Internet is totally
exciting and a way to become net citizen of the
world while making a fortune. The newbie believes
that some of them will fail at being a netpreneure;
while at the same time they believe that it will not
be them.
Armed to the teeth with what
they were told and their own flawed logic, the
newbie puts caution on hold and puts the peddle to
the medal. Their new venture becomes their passion
saying, they are going to get all they can for free
to build their business empire before they spend a
single dime building it.
Now that their faces are not
pressed against the store front window of the
Internet candy store any more, inside they begin
sampling all of the Internet goodies that they think
will make them an instant success (as they were told
and what they themselves believed).
Free ISP and website, free
hosting, free anti-virus software, free email, free
online community with built-in marketing and
advertising tools, free traffic generators and free
affiliate programs.
Stop!
Hold on just a minute!
I thought the newbie was
ready to start THEIR business, it appears that as
soon as they got access to the Internet, their
business plans took a serious turn from being an
entrepreneur to being a distributor or affiliate for
all the companies they associated with (for free).
Entrepreneurs are
self-directed and own the cash-register.
Affiliates/distributors are commanded and don't own
the cash-Register, they receive a commission on the
selling of the company's products/services.
Some of them eventually
figure it out that they were manipulated. Business
whether online or off, it is still works exactly the
same (business is business). Knowledge coupled with
their time, money and decisive actions will build a
competitive and profitable business.
This is the first
fundamental choice for the newbie; do they want to
build their business from a base of knowledge or
from here-say and half-truths?
It is our experience that
newbies do not question what they are told. It is
critical that you have the best information
available for building a business. I strongly
suggest you consider procuring a business
coaches/trainers that you can trust.
This is by far the best
recipe for the increased longevity of your fledgling
business. This single idea will save you untold
hours of time and money. Not having a coach/trainer
is one of the main reasons why most businesses fail
within the first two years of starting it.
This is the second business
fundamental choice for the newbie, do they want to
be self-directed or do they want to be directed and
commanded? It is a question of either being a leader
or forever being a perpetual follower.
Leaders are visionaries,
they work today to shape the future; while followers
settle for being mediocre and live for today.
Personally, we call ourselves leaders in training
and perpetual students of learning.
There is another choice on
the table for the newbie. They can start their
business and at the same time sell products/services
of other companies as a distributor/affiliate; that
way they can have the best of both worlds.
Finally, don't fall for the
half-truths of Internet business. They will tell you
that the money's in the list. The truth is that the
money is in the responsive list. There is a process
to building a responsive list. Once you know and
institute the process you will have a perpetual “ah
ha” moment for your business.
