Being an Online Business Person is About Choices

        Being An Online Business Person is About Choices

-We all have to decide how we are going to fail.. by not going far enough or by going too far.-Sumner Redstone

    Everything that we achieve or do not achieve comes down to one thing and that is the choices that we make. Do we get out of bed today or stay there. Do we go to work or go and hang out somewhere? Do we try again when we have failed or do we give up.

    There are any number of choices that we make each and every day of our lives that will affect how we live for months or years to come. Choices are what business is really all about.

    
    Some believe that success is a matter of luck. These people have no idea of what it really takes to be a success. It really comes down to the chances that we take and the choices that we make.

    The easiest choice that most people make is to stand pat, to stay where they are and continue to do what they are doing. Hoping in the back of their mind that some how some way it will turn around on its own. I made a choice to create this blog. You made a choice to come here and read it today. This choice can have no impact on your life or a grand impact if you decide to make a second choice. To act on one of the suggestions that you find here. To alter the way that you have done business. To try something like email marketing or to build your own website. I have two websites and by this time next year I hope to have ten of them. Why? Because I like to pile more things on my plate? No. It is because they generate income. They make money and I wish to make more money. I wish to grow and expand my business in every area that I can. Perhaps you wish to do the same thing.

Perhaps you are just starting out and are struggling with the right way to turn?

    That way will be a choice that only you can make. I can suggest possible choices, but in the end you will be the one making those choices and I suggest that you keep making those choices. The more you make, the easier it will be to make the next one. Becoming a great online business person is not gonna happen overnight, but is there any field of endeavor
that you can think of where it happens overnight. Good luck with your online business, remember to stumble us on stumbleupon, add us to your google plus and get back to work.

Effort Pays Off



-You have to put in many, many, many tiny efforts that nobody sees or appreciates before you achieve anything worthwhile. Brian Tracy -

    How many times have you attempted some new way of conducting business online only to watch it fall short of what you had in mind?

    Did you give up or did you take that as a lesson well learned and try something new?


    The funny thing is that people who are successful at business get this and those who fail never will understand it. Whether you make it or not does not depend upon luck. It does not depend upon learning some well kept secret that you must pay 29.99 to learn. It depends upon your willingness to get up early each day and to work hard. It depends upon you ability to accept the small steps you take each and every day as progress.


    Sure you are your harshest critic and you should be, but you will have to be your number one cheerleader.  There are days where this site generates a great deal from the ads that run here and then there are days when it makes only a cent or two. I celebrate what ever money my blogs and websites generate keeping in mind always that no one has ever gone broke by turning a profit ever day. You will find that even though you take small steps your business grows week by week and month by month. What it takes days to generate now will in time take only hours or minutes. Keep working hard and you will see results.

    Good luck and get back to work.

Your Online Business, What is it?

            Your Business, What is It?

The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same. – Carlos Castaneda

    If your online business has not been booming perhaps it comes down to what you are selling. I do not mean your product line, but the products in that line that you are pushing. I have over seventy possible affiliates that I can market and for the longest time I was not getting much in the way of a return from them. It was not because they did not offer quality services it was just that I needed to match the right affiliate with the right site. I needed to introduce that affiliate in a certain way to my visiting customers. Once I figured out how to do this I began to see some real returns.

    For instance, this is a business blog. It is about being a better online business person. I had to find out what areas that my visiting customers needed help in the most and introduce that help without seeming as if I was trying to force it upon them. Also the affiliate had to be truly useful to my visitors. If I wrote a post about an email marketing service then it had to be one that is worth the price that it would cost my customer to purchase that service or I would hear about it later.


    You will go through trial and error where it comes to finding the item and or items. The service and or services that will make your business grow.You are going to have to figure out over time what to emphasize. If you find that one thing then the sky could be the limit.

    Good luck with your business. Take a moment to stumble us on stumbleupon and to add us to your google plus. Okay, I guess that it is time to get back to work.
