Ninety-five percent fail. Given those simple statistics, it seems to me that one of first things we need to do is understand nature of Internet business…combined with a frank appraisal of our own nature. Read advertising, hype, and it seems anyone can make money on Internet while they sleep, or sitting at keyboard in their pajamas. It's true. You can make lots of money while you sleep. And, should you choose to do so, you can work in your pajamas. But what hype artists don't tell us is that success takes hard work, discipline and determination. There is no free lunch, not even on Internet, and if you fall for hype, it will cost money for zero return (if you are lucky). Why do hypesters spend their money and effort to deliver their hype? Look down page. There's an 'Order Now' button. It's money, your money. The hypester can now earn your money while he sleeps. Hard work at start Understand this: any business, on or off Internet, requires hard work to get it started. It may eventually run on autopilot, but in beginning, it will take hard work, time, and determination. Are you ready for that? Because, if not, save time and stop reading this now. You will be one of 95% who fail. No one can simply put up a website (or have one provided by a company) and expect others to find it. Early in 2005, there were 56,100,000 commercial websites on Internet. Even a website in top 1% was just one out of 561,000. My point is this: what chance does your website have of being found if it languishes there without any promotion? Suppose your website was even in top one-tenth of a percent, one of 56,100 websites. How difficult is it to find? Think of it this way: suppose you are at an outdoor event with 56,099 other people and a friend wants to find you without knowing where you are in milling crowd. Do you think it would be easy, even though your friend knows what you look like? A waste of space Now substitute a stranger for your friend, a stranger who has never seen your face. Impossible? Not if stranger put an announcement over public address system.
| | Top Ten Things You Would Never Hear a Coach Say (or then again…!)Written by Martin Haworth
Just for fun and yet with some real insights to how a coach works, this list is an indication of culture and style. It will vary. From coach to client; to relationship between them. None of these are wrong as such, though some might be decidedly odd in any context...When coaching, it's all about client, be that as a professional coach, or a line manager/business owner using coaching skills in their own business, with their own people. But it's so easy sometimes to turn tables and be client..oh, so easy...:-) - Let Me Tell You About My Day
Coaching is about client and NOT about coach, usually. Sometimes a coaching experience might be worth a share if a coachee is stuck – but not usually. It’s all about them – not you. Honour that. - Well, You’re Just Useless Aren’t You!
It’s bad enough to criticise them for their past – but this reinforces their own self-doubt about their future. You have even taken away their hope for goodness sakes. A coach’s role is to enable potential and open client's eyes to possibilities. Not slam it shut. - You Think You’ve Got Problems - Well, Let Me Tell You…
OK, so you’ve got some issues you are facing yourself. Sorry about that. In a coaching context, you are there to support and grow client – not devalue what is truly on their mind, by filling it up with your issues. You can share them – but on your time, not theirs. - What I’d Do is This…
Now this is very tempting – and sometimes (‘Stop coaching me for a minute, throw me a rope!’) it might, just might be acceptable – yes, I have done it myself! But in main, coach’s job is to extract greatness out of client and then build on their abilities and confidence going forward. - Sit Down and Shut Up, I’ve Got Something to Say
No, we haven’t quite got hang of this here, have we? Coaching is about listening, more especially, really hearing and asking some challenging questions - maybe. Even listening is all some clients need – they process solutions as they talk – it’s remarkable. So how does line above help that? Not at all.
