ARE YOU MOVING AT INTERNET SPEED?

Written by Chris Nixo


The Internet. Love it or hate it, one fact cannot be disputed; it has CHANGED almost EVERYTHING we thought was true about doing business. Are you up to speed with what is going on?

Some things about business will never change. The age old saying of find a need and fill it will never die. No matter what directionrepparttar future takes us there will always be buyers and sellers of goods and services. Andrepparttar 106854 buyer will always feel they paid too much whilerepparttar 106855 seller thinks they paid too little!

Thus it has always been and thus it will always be.

But there are many important areas that are CHANGING NOW (yes, even while you read this) and these are changes that will have an impact on YOUR future. Let's look at a few.

COMMUNICATIONS

First there wasrepparttar 106856 telephone. Remember answering your own phone? That lasted for a long time. Then came Caller ID followed by voice mail. And NOW web sites are enabled so that with a click your customer can call you instantly, wherever you are. Are you keeping up?

MONEY

First there was cash. That lasted for a long time. Then cheques were invented. Next, credit cards, then cheques and credit cards by phone and, close behind, cheque by fax.

Recently developed secured sites let customers pay by credit card (or even cheque) without you having to be involved. And NOW some keyboards allow you to swipe a credit card and make your purchase. Electronic wallets store all of your information, allowing you to buy with a single click. Are you keeping up?

Where Do Average People Find Business Success?

Written by Tim Genster


At some point,repparttar realization becomes painfully clear. Chances are, it may have hit you at some time or another.

You wake up inrepparttar 106853 night with a cold sweat... you realize it as you drive to work, stuck in a traffic jam at 9am; as you receiverepparttar 106854 paycheck withrepparttar 106855 huge tax deductions.

In a nutshell, you know you're stuck inrepparttar 106856 rat-race.

A j-o-b will never providerepparttar 106857 time-freedom orrepparttar 106858 income many dream of. Some are inspired to take action, chaserepparttar 106859 dream, and start a business that can change their life.

Others only live in awe ofrepparttar 106860 dream, and letrepparttar 106861 letters J-O-B stand for "Just Over Broke" in their career lives.

Whilst millions have had 3 or more attempts at chasingrepparttar 106862 "American Dream" and empowering their lives with success,repparttar 106863 blunt and honest truth is that 95% of them still revert back torepparttar 106864 j-o-b lifestyle too quickly.

What really happens here? Let's take an honest look.

Especially now, withrepparttar 106865 extraordinary growth ofrepparttar 106866 Internet, new business opportunities appear almost daily. A few represent true, long-term opportunities that some people WILL be able to take advantage of. Sadly, most will be a waste of time and money. YOUR time and money!

However, it's not onlyrepparttar 106867 quality ofrepparttar 106868 opportunity that threatens success. There's another part to this equation. Too many people have not overcome their own born and bred limits to find real success, regardless of how goodrepparttar 106869 opportunity may really be.

They hop from one opportunity to another, blamingrepparttar 106870 lack of success onrepparttar 106871 previous opportunity's payout plan or company support... when in fact,repparttar 106872 opportunity may have been as sound as a pound. What they need to change is THEMSELVES. Their own attitudes. That little voice inside each and every one of us. Frequently, it is impatient attitudes and non-productive behaviors that make business success almost impossible to many.

Despite these obstacles, there ARE average, everyday people who achieve a terrific level of success developing their own businesses. What have they learned that allows this?

What balance between choosing a good business opportunity and having a success attitude have they achieved?

Here are four reasons why too many people fail... And more importantly, here are four ways that YOU can align yourself for true success. The majority of businesses and networkers fail over and over again because of just *four* problems:

1) Most people have never been taught how to manage their business or their personal finances.

Most 'wanna-be' business people would NEVER even consider submitting their resume forrepparttar 106873 CEO position of a company. Yet they hire themselves asrepparttar 106874 CEO of their own business without a second thought.

2) Most people cannot effectively sell, recruit or train.

Second only to a lack of good business training, more people fail in all types of businesses because they can not effectively sell their product or services and they are not effective at training their team.

No matter how smart you are or how hard you work, we each have limits. To expand on those limits, what's required is for us to train others to workrepparttar 106875 same system. That way, when we've "maxed out" our own potential, we can introduce HUNDREDS more to dorepparttar 106876 same, literally multiplying our efforts drastically.

3) Most people cannot survive five or six months of negative cash flow. And sometimes, that's required.

The traditional pay plans of most business opportunities can not and do not work forrepparttar 106877 vast majority of people. That is not only a mathematical fact it is also an historical fact. And it's reflecting on your paycheck!
