Here is something that I believe is truly important when it comes to owning your own business, especially if you’re trying to start an internet or home based business.There are two things you can possibly do and become successful. One is to simply trial & error your way through until you find
right path. This is something that definitely will require you to be dedicated and not give up. You also must realize and accept that you will fail many times before you are successful.
The other and easier way is to follow in footsteps of someone who has already become successful. Copy what they did to get where they are, and do it yourself.
Now there are many ways of executing this possibility. There are countless books out their that give you step-by-step instructions of how author became successful, and they tell you how you can too. Then there are websites that will lay out plans of how their affiliates are achieving success, and give you ways to copy that success.
Something I’ve seen in a lot of these types of books however (not all of them, some are very good) is that they don’t give right information for majority of people. And it’s for these people that I’m writing for today. The type of people that can pick up an e-book that teaches you how to be successful, and become successful from reading it, don’t need or already know this information.
Now this is a fine and dandy way to follow in somebody’s footsteps to success, however these footsteps go through a sandy desert. And while footsteps can show you general direction, they might be covered up or hard to make out farther you get, or someone else’s footsteps come along and misdirect you. Imagine however if you weren’t just following in that persons footsteps, but you had your hand on their shoulder so you wouldn’t get lost. If you were separated, all you have to do is call out and they will be there to yell back to keep you heading in right direction. Now this is just an analogy but at same time can be taken literally.
What I’m getting at is a better way to get to success, to copy somebody else’s success, is to be right their behind them, letting them walk you down right path. How is this done you ask. By having a personal mentor. Have someone you can give a call and email whenever you have a problem or question. Someone that can see your situation and tell you how you can modify what they did to make it work for you. Ask this person about things they’ve done that worked and didn’t work.
Having somebody you can have a personal relationship with and have actual contact with, whether just by emailing consistently or talking on phone with, or sometimes even getting together in person to go over plans, will be a great benefit to have in any business you are going after.
