Starting your Business

                Starting Your Business

    - “All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.”- Walt Disney.

    After a long day of job hunting, filling out applications and pounding the payment I decided that the only person who would ever really appreciate what I had to offer as an employee would be me.


    Maybe this sounds familiar to many of you who have or wish to start your own business.  Many small businesses are started out of frustration. We are usually frustrated with the job that we have or the fact that we do not have a job at all. This was the reason I started to work online. I started like many of you have, by working first at Amazon or Ebay. I did that for a while and while I was doing it I believed that this would be the end of the line. I had found my home and would earn a living there. Very soon I realized that I was still working for someone else. They were not actually signing my paycheck, but they were still in charge of my future. This was when I decide to start my own online business.

       Having you own business is the best kind of freedom you will ever know. During the good times you will know who is responsible and during the bad times you will know who is to blame. Running your own business is not going to be easy, but nothing worth doing is ever easy.          
If you have not gotten started yet there are many resources available to aid you with becoming the best online business person that you can. Click here  for a link to my website where you will find many tutorials on the basics of building your own site.

The Online Business Person, About Survival

            The Online Business Person, About Survival

-In the struggle for survival, the fittest win out at the expense of their rivals because they succeed in adapting themselves best to their environment.- Charles Darwin.

    What is the business environment that your online business functions within?
    Who else occupies this environment?
    How big are they?
    How many traits do they share with your online business?
    If you do not ask your self these questions often then what type of online business person are your?
    My personal response to this last question is that you are the type of online business person who is in danger of being overtaken and or eliminated by the competition you are unaware of.
    To know who else occupies your market space is to develop an important survival skill. Perhaps the most important survival skill.   



    So do your research carefully and identify whom it is that you are competing with. This may take time, but it takes time to run a successful business.  After all the survival of your business may depend upon this research.
    Once you have found out who your strongest competitors are then the next step is finding ways to outshine them. To reach out to their customer base and use that base to grow your own business. You can do this through marketing or undercutting their prices.
    “That’s not fair.”
    Really? Think that over for a while and tell me that it is not fair again after it has been done to you a few dozen times. All is fair in love, war and business. It is in the end not about being fair or being liked, but about survival. Your business must survive because you depend upon it. Your family depends upon it. It has to be the most important thing to you. Each and everyday do not think only about thriving, but about surviving as well.
    Okay, that is it for today. Remember to stumble us on stumbleupon to tumble us on tumbler and to tell a friend.
