Everyone's trying to make a buck - or two - on and off
Internet, these days. Yet, from smallest home-based enterprise to multi-million dollar dotcom empires, businesses are failing, too, like never before.How can you make sure that YOUR business doesn't end up in scrap-heap, after all your hard work? The majority of businesses - including network marketing opportunities - fail because of four problems:
1) People have never been taught how to manage their business or their personal finances.
Most people would never even consider submitting their resume for Chief Executive Officer (CEO) position of a company, yet they hire themselves as CEO of their own business without a second thought! At same time, we hear those stories of folks who, with minimal business background, make a killing in their first year in business. How did it happen?
In a word, training. Training means learning anything and everything you can about doing business, about marketing, about customer service, about number-crunching. And there is training available - on and offline, much of it free or very inexpensive. Those who are open to learning, and take advantage of as many training opportunities as they can, stand a much greater chance of succeeding.
2) People cannot effectively sell, recruit or train.
Many people fail in all types of businesses because they cannot effectively sell their product or services, and they are not effective at training their team.
The most obvious solution to this problem is to make sure, in first place, that you are selling a product that you know and understand, and that you absolutely believe in. Then it will sell itself, with much less effort from you! So give careful thought to opportunities that present themselves to you - do you believe in product or service YOURSELF, enough that all you'll really need to do is hone your presentation of facts?
